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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

These people are miscreants of the worst kind for this. In addition, though, maybe we should update the rules so people don’t have to be in one fucking building all at the same time in order for our government to function. We have the technology, people. We can make it better, faster, and stronger than what it is now.
That just introduces new problems like Mitch McConnell "working from home" and voting on every Republican bill despite having been dead for the prior 18 months.
Actually, I’d like to keep it that way for now. These fuckers use Microsoft for their confidential emails. I don’t want to imagine the huge security issues they’d create in voting for budgets and legislation.
Microsoft nationwide outage atm.
Voting is cancelled . . . etc.
Budgets and Legislation are all televised on CSPAN already. It’s public information. For the super secret war plans, they use the ultra-secure Signal app.
And invite journalists in
Thus solving the leak problem once and for all
How many of their constituents will remember this 23 months from now?
I probably won't because this particular vote was in fact pointless and inconsequential. New congress doesn't enter office until Jan 3rd.
How many of the rest of us are going to let them forget?
