Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It's a fake fight. It's meant to distract you from the fact that DOGE is stealing your information and to drive traffic to their respective social media sites. You've been conned...again.
Ehhhh, trump's incredibly successful modus operandi for distraction is to bait the Left into over-reacting etc. Epstein is actually important to a swathe of his voters (as is, I assume the respect of one of the wealthiest men on Earth.)
If trump wanted a distraction, he'd sifn another ED targetting trans folks or somesuch in a way to make the Left freak out so that the fight becomes about that/our over reaction depending on your pov.
Fyi, what's happening in LA is a much more trumpian distraction; it'll suck up all the media oxygen, it's an (possibly the only, if iirc) issue (immigration) on which he not only has overwhelming Republican support but ALSO a net favourable rating with the public overall.
