The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...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.

The last thing that America needs is another jail. They have more jails and inmates than any other country on the planet. Also it would cost much more to refurbish Alcatraz than it would to build a new jail. The orange rapist is an idiot.

Wasn't that place at least as famous for successful escapes as it was for being a tough and scary place of punishment? If you're whole bag is turning back the clock to a time you thought was tougher, more punitive and therefore somehow more effective at deterrence and your decisions are more cultural than rational; shouldn't you pick somewhere not famous specifically for failing at it's entire purpose of existence?

The story is far too complex for him in that one

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

OK, now that's pretty funny.

I bet we can tie a lot of his actions to the boob tube schedule

In the first admin it was clear he was watching Fox by reading his tweets and comparing.
