Thanks for posting the link. Il Duce's tweet response includes the immortal question

Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution?

If it's retribution from the government he's asking about, the answer is this thing called the First Amendment. Parody and satire are protected free speech.

Question is, how does the President of the United States get away either with being ignorant of and disdainful toward one of the most basic freedoms enshrined in the Bill of Rights, or with being a sniveling crybaby -- let alone both -- without retribution?

No way can I top this headline

I normally skim /. just before I go to sleep. This article, titled Nike Bricks Its Shoes With a Faulty Firmware Update, almost had me falling out of bed laughing...

"My left shoe won't even reboot." writes one owner.

Geez, especially in times such as the present when we can all use more funny in our lives, seeing this thread's last entry was from Feb 2019 is, well, depressing. In order to remedy that, I intend to post regular links to the following hard-hitting independent investigative-journalism site:

Columbus' rock hard body too irresistible?

Surprised it didn't happen sooner - dude has chiseled features and a statuesque frame.

Don't overlook that this is an Onion-esque newspaper. (slogan: "Where facts don't matter.")
Scroll down to the last line on the webpage.

Some historical funny of the lèse-majesté "and a cat may look at a king" variety:

Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire | Wikipedia

I'm guessing the insults sound even better in the original Ukrainian. The fine detail in the painting - recommend you DL the highest-res version of the painting - is exquisite. 'Avin' a laugh, are we?

That slogan is standing orders at most mass "news" media. Truckloads of partisan propaganda and opinion as if it was fact. Can't decide whether their work product or the expectation of being believed is the bigger joke.

They are not very good, by modern standards.
Nowadays people talk like that on Russian government-owned TV and in Duma. Nothing to see here, move along...

Свиная ты морда, кобылиная срака, мясницкая собака, некрещённый лоб, ну и мать твою ёб.

Примечания по содержанию:

Следует отметить необычную мягкость и осторожность грозного султана, который против обыкновения не угрожал казакам страшными карами, а всего лишь предлагал им сдаться без боя.
