Trump just annexed Venezuela after threatening them.

Trump has also threatened Greenland, Canada, and Mexico. Are you sure it's a joke?

    Headline:

    Mark Carney turns off geolocation on phone just in case

    The implied joke is that the reason is trump might kidnap him too, because it is plausible.

    What exactly don't you understand about how it's a joke?

    Are you sure you just don't know what a joke is?

    If I make a joke about trump having a tiny mushroom dick, would you say it can't be a joke because it's true?

    Like, what the actual fuck are you even trying to say here, and why are people up voting it?

    The website is literally a parody website, every single article is a joke. If you think differently, you just bit the beaver.

    Beaverton/Onion comments are always full of people making jokes about "are you sure this is satire?". Relax. Take a breath. Sure givesomefucks but maybe give a few less fucks when it comes to dumb comments on a Beaverton article.

    Which is it?

    Not a joke? Or it's a joke and I should care less?

    If it's a joke and I should care less, why were you saying it's not a joke?

    Was it literally just because you see other people make the comment and get up voted, so you made the comment without understanding anything?

    You know that's literally how chat it's 30 years ago behaved, that's the level you're on chief.

    So maybe you should start giving more fucks and not just blindly repeating nonsense you've seen people get up votes for.

    I wish Americans got this fired up about their government. We might not be having this discussion in the first place.

    I don't think it's fire Americans are lacking with regard to their government. The fire seems to be getting used against them, to keep them divided and conquered, arguing over inconsequentialities, keeping them in a snug opposame back and forth.

    It is a joke, and it's funny because it holds a kernel of truth. "We laugh so we do not cry."

    No tears shed for Maduro, but it's pretty obvious that Trump doesn't know what he's doing and doesn't have a plan.

    Staging a secret service raid to kidnap Carney is pretty out there, but then El Presidente Trump just talked about "doing something about Mexico" from the Southern Presidential Palace.

    It's a joke, you should laugh, and you should also remember what the joke is referencing.
