Fucking brutal. That's a hell of a good connection.

As the cop in South Park said after a kid was killed in town, "Dammit! Outside school is the one place kids are supposed to be safe!"

Nah, school "security officers" are there to brutalize unruly children and get the middle school to life in prison pipeline started.

In contrast, Trump's SS officers are charged with protecting the most childish fascist cult leader from the consequences of his words and actions.

Both make the world a worse, more bleak place, though, I'll give you that.

I get massive whiplash every time someone abbreviates the secret service

It's supposed to be usss, ss is a bit dickish, even with his political alignment.

We don't put US in front of other acronyms like that. SC, DoJ, EPA, etc. Putting it in front of SS is just making it obvious you don't want it to be called SS lol

It's just a coincidence; the Secret Service existed long before Hitler's SS. We've got prior claim to the acronym

Nah, he's a literal fascist. It might be dickish to the secret service given a different context, but my comment was clearly aimed at him rather than them.

That's not fair, he didn't run away from the gunman!

Maybe that's just Texas.

Onion has been in fire lately

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

It's not the onion. I've never seen this site before.

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.vg 6 points 10 months ago

The spirit of Onion.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

The bold new scent

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

You’re right. I was looking at the community

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Just. Goddamnit. I read so much of this article before I realized I had a mouth full of onion. Bravo.
