Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

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.”

Comments 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.

He was always weird, it just wasn't public knowledge. The guy liked to spend his free time surrounded by dead animal carcasses as a child, carried a hawk with him constantly, sexually harrased a significant amount of women, and has been a prominent anti-vaxxer for like 20 years.
