So, as I understand it in the current culture of Social Media, the term 'BREAKING:' now universally means 'here's some shit I just pulled out of my arse.' Does that sound correct? Everything's always BREAKING!

Even if it's not true, this is what I have decided to believe.
Modern discourse in a nutshell lol
I want this to be true so bad.
We can make it true. See how easy that is?
Oh yeah! I forgot thats how it works these days, you can just make anything a fact now.
It's not though, right? Hard to say.
It's definitely not true, although it is funny to think about.
It's almost better if it's not true. That will probably piss off Trump even more, because they are lying but so many people will believe them and troll him with it.
I think no one is saying it’s happing besides this meme, and definitely not “top Chinese officials”
We could do the JD Vance treatment. They don't care if what they that's important is true, why should we about something stupid like this?
Someone here's gotta read Chinese, right?
We need a spy on Weibo to come report back to us here
Apparently he just answers unknown numbers on his private phone during meetings in the oval office, and quite a few people have that number. Someone should send him the link to the meme.
It's obviously not true, if they were to do that to him then he would absolutely be ranting about it on truthsocial and calling for an all out war on China... At which point we'd see the signal chats because hegseth would have added at least 3 outside people to it.
I'm not so sure. For clarity, I don't think it's true either, but, if it was, he probably wouldn't tell anyone about it, because, the fact that they could do that to him makes him look weak. If there's one thing a narcissist will chew off their own toes to avoid, it's looking weak in front of people. It's the same reason he uses bronzer and hair dye.
It's as true as anything Trump says.
If Trump suddenly starts mentioning Obama in his tweets for the first time in months, then yeah, it's True. Otherwise, fake.
It's about as true as the Trump claims that the Chinese are calling about a trade deal.
Both sides are actually nglike they are standing off, but both are trying to get things resolved in secret.
People are saying it's true. People. Lots of people. The best people are saying it's true.
It's not true, I have it on good authority they're playing Biden and Kamala speeches.
OK, listening to that doddery old coot would only be slightly better than Trump.
I don't believe for a second that it's true, but the possibility that it is amuses me.
This is the main reason why uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh we recorded those speeches
-Barack Obama
Thanks Obama
Why is this so cursed
Because he's facing the wrong way on the couch?
Big, if true.
Big? Is this a new re-definition i need to learn?
It's just short for "this is a big deal" grandpa
Oh. Well what do you do with all the free time you save by not spelling out the word 'deal' every time?
