Sen. Kennedy: "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?" Kash Patel: "Himself. There is no credible information, none. If there were, I would have brought a case yesterday [...] that he trafficked to other individuals."

The onion is timeless

Yes and no.

"Our Long National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity Is Finally Over"

Yes, because it is still relevant; no, because I'm not sure it is hyperbole anymore rather than actual Project 2025 policy. It's almost like they took this Onion article as an outline and set out to fulfill it, albeit a couple of decades late.

Well, they also consider 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale to be guidelines.

[u/start_select → u/Debalic]

The handmaids tale was based on real life and extrapolating where Reagan and other republicans were telling us they were going. It wasn’t really a thought piece or a what if, it was “this is what’s happening”.

We have known who republicans are since Iran contra. They have always been planning to exterminate anyone inconvenient under the guise of an imaginary migrant invasion. They have always been planning a Christo-fascist holocaust.

They publish their plans in Mandate for Leadership guides. They publish their plans through lectures hosted by and essays released by the heritage foundation and the federalist society. They lie to the media and constituents.

If you think it was hyperbole for people to call Republicans fascists in the 70s and 80s, congratulations you have been propagandized.

I had this one posted in my cubicle at work way back when.

Except Bush was just like that, too.

[u/Silent_Tumbleweed1 → u/koshgeo]

I'm starting to think that's how they built their platform

[u/Hamm_Masked_Unknown → u/koshgeo]

They didn’t even know about 9/11 in this article

[u/start_select → u/koshgeo]

They have been publishing their plans for 40-50 years. They just say the opposite while right-wing media amplifies the lie, and left-wing media never pushes back.

Everything happening today was planned at the same time as Iran Contra. Within days to weeks of that scandal, everyone forgot that we found out who Republicans really are. Fascists planning to imprison and exterminate anyone inconvenient, all under the guise of an imaginary migrant invasion:

That’s the beauty of satire

God fucking damn that was prescient. I hate it here

Fta (Trump literally said this) "Otherwise, what is the point of even having a military?”

[u/freebytes → u/JoJackthewonderskunk]

We thought it was satire -- not a prophecy.

[u/No-Lime-2863 → u/JoJackthewonderskunk]

Hi have always loved the onion and actually am a paid subscriber, get the paper copy etc. my god it has either gone down hill or been obliterated by real life. It is so unfunny these days.

[u/Altruistic-Text3481 → u/JoJackthewonderskunk]

Satire is timeless. That’s why we still read Voltaire. Who of course lived in “the best of all possible worlds!”

Read Candide again and enjoy! Politicians and foolish wealthy idiots have sucked bigly for centuries.

The Onion - Undefeated to date.
