I didn't know horse shit had the structural integrity to support a sculpture of such scale.

So it essentially is the onion because it is satire. Gtfo

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

My dude, the subject of the article exists. That is the differentiator.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

The difference is that it's an honest article reporting truthfully on someone else's satire.

Quite the snub for Bibi

It's dumb and bad (as a thing to look at, statement is great) but give me a few hours with it in the workshop and it'll be the finest 4-station gloryhole in the land. That's saying something too, got some real stiff competition.

I'm so excited that I can't even decide whether I wanna be the sucker or suckee.

Assuming your username has been true for at least 5 years, have at it. With enough flexibility, you might not even have to decide.

Assuming their username is true, they're overage for at least two of the people on this mountain.

Put that bad boy on the national mall so the park service can come destroy it in the night

I feel like I'm missing some context

The Secret Handshake, the group that created the [statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands like the best pals they ~~are~~ were], had obtained a permit that allowed it to keep the statue displayed in the capital until 8pm on Sunday.

But the National Park Service, the federal agency that oversees the area, removed the statue because “it was not compliant with the permit issued”, Elizabeth Peace, a spokesperson for Department of the Interior, said to CNN.
