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.

And that’s basically it!

I needed a good laugh, and this delivered. Thank you, and thank you OP.

Im amazed Trump is the only president to ever attend the super bowl though.

Probably because of the logistical nightmare for both the Superbowl organizers and the secret service, just doesn't seem remotely worth the sheer cost and risk involved

They have vip seating at every event. That's nothing new.

What is new is the secret service and big security bubble around this specific "VIP".

Yeah, those VIPs are not anywhere near the target or have anywhere near the security detail as a sitting president

The President at the Super Bowl worked out so well in The Sum of All Fears

Is that the one with John Malkavics home made gun?

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

No, that's Nick of Time, where Denzel Washington investigated a murder at the White House.

Ahh ok yeah. Thank you.
There was a pocket of time with some great political thrillers.
