The Babylon bee is right-wing trash.

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago

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

Most are absolute garbage though.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

The important thing is that it's satire.

Aggressively un-

Excuse me sir, you dropped this

[–] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Maddison@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years 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.

[–] socsa@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 years ago

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

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Babylon be actually taking shots at Republicans?

Or am I misreading this?

here's one, conservative but funny

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Soundhole@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years 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.

[–] Maddison@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] kittenspronkles@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're just letting their ass breathe

[–] Lord_McAlister@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?!?

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] Lord_McAlister@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

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