Did something change with the babylon bee? Sudden surge of actually decent content all of a sudden

I'm not sure if it's widely known, but Tate started a political party in the UK called "BRUV" ("Britain Restoring Underlying Values"). The manifesto is all AI generated garbage. I'm unsure how that'll turn out as a refugee fleeing European justice.

Perfect! This is perfection, nobody will ever make a better use of this meme format!

Real news is more oniony than The Onion now. They ought to start doing super bland fake stories like “Cat Stuck in Tree, Saved by Local Fire Department.” Kind of like a form of eye bleach.

I mean look at all the fake-ass christians infecting the world, is it so hard to believe that there are plenty of fake-ass muslims too? I was friends with a Palestinian/Jordanian guy and he told me it was commonplace in Jordan to have a group of men drinking tea at a cafe, except the tea pot was full of liquor. I don't know if it was meant to hide it from other people, hide it from god, or both.

I mean. The only place to get alcohol past midnight in the Canadian town I grew up in was an all night tea house. But we were just trying to hide it from the cops.

Maybe Christianity wasn't misogynistic enough?

I don’t understand if this is satire anymore.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago

So they're all at least 5 months old? Must be bringing their girlfriends.

I thought the Babylon Bee would love Andrew Tate.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Apparently the thought of him being a Muslim is too much for them

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I had no idea he was Muslim.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago

I assume he’s about as much a Muslim as trump is a Christian (ie only when it’s convenient, and he probably doesn’t know what all those words mean in that order, anyway)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

He's probably about as Muslim as a brick with the word "Muslim" painted on it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I definitely get that vibe from that headline. It's not that the US reached out and said "touch not one hair on my precious scumbags", it's that they did it for someone who scumbags who also claim to be Muslim and fail the melanin deficiency test.

This is not the onion, but Desantis might go after him. It could all be a stunt, of course.

From the Miami Herald article:

But Tate’s claim that the Romanian case against him was dismissed in December isn’t true. While a Bucharest court ruled that the first criminal case could not proceed due to legal and procedural irregularities, the charges against the Tates remain in effect. What’s unclear is how further cases will proceed now that the Tates are back on American soil.

If he does, this will be the one and only time I ever root for that piece of shit. Desantis that is, not the other pos.

Is there any one quality that more of the people surrounding Trump share than being serial sex abusers?

I can't think of one.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

I think they all have to share their "special secret". If one of the group doesn't, they are a liability.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 hours ago (4 children)

Watch the tate brothers become members of Trump's cabinet

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Watch them become the new Epstein for the rich and powerful. tRUmp still has the jet iirc.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

Ehh. They are rapey enough but don't you think they look well, a little on the brown side? Doesn't seem like there's any reason to compromise when there aren't DEI rules in place and there are plenty of rapey whites that are well qualified.

Head of the minister for women and gender equality, an obvious choice.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

What better position. Secretary of safety of women and children

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

I thought that's why he got them out/they came over here

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Is he an actual Muslim? Or did he convert just to lessen the heat on him?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 hours ago

Babylon Bee is garbage, don’t post this shit here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Perhaps Trump needs someone new to replace Epstein.
