I am uncomfortable with this one because its a non-zero chance.

[-] Einstein@sh.itjust.works 61 points 6 months ago

I was actually more surprised this was the onion and not real. O.o

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 7 points 6 months ago

Wow, I ate the onion hard on this one.

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 43 points 6 months ago

I ate the onion real hard for a moment there.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 25 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I was 100% ready to see something like "the ICE Twitter account using AI-gen" following it. Definitely a possibility.

[-] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

Is it really even satire at this point? MAGA has released memes and AI videos like that.

The only thing funny about this is if newsom before being beheaded calls for national unity and working across the isle or something.

While I disagree with President Trump with their ICE raids, attempt to subvert democracy, and my execution. We both agree that the poor and trans people are a blight on society.

Gavin Newsom, final words before their execution

[-] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago

Notable that this is how extreme they have to be to differ from reality

ICEIS

You almost got me

[-] ef9357@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

And isn’t that a sad commentary on life in the US?

[-] MTK@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

I swear, for a second I thought it was real, just like "huh, guess that's not impossible 🤷‍♂️"

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 29 points 6 months ago

The onion got the memo that their articles were being too realistic, thank you for readjusting.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

Did they, though?

Or are they still just prescient?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 6 months ago

I believed it.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

I love that in the midst of the gallows humor, they still managed to make fun of his hair.

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago

Newsom's hair is almost punching down. OTOH, he deserves it. He looks so much like Gordon Gecko.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 months ago

Republicans are literally falling into the lowest one can be.

[-] RandomStickman@fedia.io 10 points 6 months ago

What would be the music track they use?

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 6 months ago

Unironically, "Born in the USA." But a cover by Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 6 months ago

My ears are bleeding just imagining that 😬

[-] klu9@piefed.social 2 points 6 months ago

Now imagine Mike Huckabee doing a rap in the middle.

[-] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

I cant wait for the first liveleak video starring a gestapo agent. Could be gunfire. Could be chainsaw. Could be waterboarding. I don't care. I need it. And I'm touching myself to it.

[-] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Wow, that's super fucked up dude.

...let me know if you find one

[-] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

You bet.

[-] Wazowski@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Satire is dead.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

And he'll still say "peaceful protests only guys"

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago
