The Babylon bee is right-wing trash.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago

Yep, but every now and then they have a funny headline.

Most are absolute garbage though.

What, this wasn’t the not the onion? Thanks for the warning.

You're not allowed to like it if a fellow member reminds you it is disallowed

Well, it's true that the Babylon Bee is 95% complete crap. It was sort of amusing for a while, then I caught on to how they were pushing their completely idiotic politics and it wasn't very funny at that point.

The important thing is that it's satire.

Aggressively un-

Excuse me sir, you dropped this

Take mild shots at republicans so they post their weekly "one joke" again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

There was one headline once which read Donald Trump rejects accusations he's a nazi by showing his rejection letter. Doesn't seem that mild to me.

I will always downvote the Babylon Bee. They are the cringe, unfunny conservative version of the Onion.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

unfunny conservative

Redundant. There's something about conservatism where they don't understand humor, unless it's punching down to attack someone like a minority group, which isn't very funny to normal people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Every time I see a conservative trying to be clever, it's just so obviously a reworded gotcha' they heard from a progressive.

Babylon be actually taking shots at Republicans?

Or am I misreading this?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

here's one, conservative but funny

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

Is.. It... Conservative? Too many layers for how drunk I am. I think it's hilarious

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't agree with your sense of humor I don't find that funny in the slightest

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think making fun of Trump is funny, as is making fun of Republican talking points, which this does.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Of course not! The Red's Outrage De Jour™ is that the Democrats dared disrespect the Senate (that their party tried razing to the ground) by allowing Fetterman to wear something other than the standard Business Person uniform.

Never look for the loser RW party to self reflect ever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

they often take shots at republicans, it's quite funny tbh. They are not neutral, but sure as hell are funny

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're just letting their ass breathe

I hate how we gave serious issues and all they care about this month is what they're wearing.

"Yes we have serious issues with our railroad quality but HAVE YOU SEEN MITCH'S DUCK SLIPPERS?!?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If you want to read about serious issues, don't look at babylon bee or the onion. You won't find any serious articles there.

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

Yeah I know this article is satiracle, I can see the image.

Congress is still wasting its time bitching about its dress code.
