    Isnt this the wrong community? This is not an onion or onion like article… I know Chaser usually does that, but there are no jokes or lies in there really are there? All those quotes have been said/written by someone.

    In their defense, the party said its most important action item on the talking points memo was not to trust your eyes or your ears any longer.

    Just an FYI, the real meaning of that salute is the statement, “I’m a kunt!”

    I for one am absolutely amused that every reputable news source calls it a nazi-style salute, since Elon couldn’t even get the salute right, despite his best efforts.

    It’s really not clear that he isn’t just pointing at something/acknowledging someone with his thumb and the rest of his fingers violently

        Subtle sarcasm is really hard for a lot of people who comment in a community focused on satire, ironically.

      And when he turned around and pointed violently at the flag in the same style? Does that make it more clear?

          That’s been the conservative line all day. Repeating a partisan lie word for word is not sarcasm.

              if I may interject with a suggestion going forwards, I usually add one of these to a comment when I’m being a smartass

              for the intellectually challenged

              /s

              then again you may find it funnier to omit that, I’m not your dad, do what you want.

          I’ve found online that /s is almost always needed. May take a bit from the joke but also, clarifies for everyone that you are not actually being an asshole when you can’t visibly roll your eyes and use the proper “sarcasm inflection”

              Fair. I’ve spent most my life working with the neurodivergent community, so even IRL I know some very intelligent people need a bit of help with implied meaning. I know I’ve had my fair share of “woosh” moments

              Assuming you’re operating in good faith, just take the feedback and try to learn from it.

        He’s obviously grabbing his love from his heart and throwing it out to all of his supporters. I don’t know how else you could possibly interpret this.

        Oh wow, that’s even worse than I had guessed. He looks…well exactly like himself, which is to say an over-grown child who thinks being hated for being a nazi is “being a rebel”.

        Incredible.

      When you caught me fisting your mom did you think I was acknowledging her with my thumb and the rest of my fingers or when I was elbow deep and shouted, “I’m fisting your mom!” in your face was it clear what was actually happening?
