You know, I think headlines like these might be getting to the point where they don't even qualify as onion-like. The Onion headlines are at least clever jokes that make sense when you think about them. This is more like someone playing "yes and" with a bunch of crazy people.

Change society. We need to stop letting these people continue their paths of destruction.
Things like this should prevent you from ever being able to hold a job again. We just need stronger laws against this kind. A new country would fix this shit so fast. I'd rather be in a place where we celebrate each other and kick out those who choose to oppress others.
In my country, this would be cause for deportation. Send the monsters to an island. Idc.
It may sound harsh, but our only currency is time and these people continue to rob us of our time. We all have to work to support a system that allows people like this to carry on with a slap on the wrist.
the Hennepin County workhouse
the what now?
some places never really had that veneer that slavery ended.
It's Minnesota, so maybe they're just choosing to be honest about it?
For a politician it's probably the first contact with real work.
Facts buncha actual welfare queens
She was convicted of gross misdemeanour harassment and misdemeanour domestic assault
I guess tarantulas aren't cute enough to warrant an animal cruelty charge :(
if it was a venomous spider that can seriously harm people, it wouldve assault with a weapon.
But it was a tarantula.
Here is another article on this that I found a little bit clearer in terms of what happened. So basically her tenant asked her to fulfill a basic responsibility that landlords are supposed to handle and she had an absolute fucking meltdown? Honestly the tarantula is the tamest part of it. I hope the tarantula is okay and also that the tenant is okay, not because the tarantula was a real danger but because of every other fucking thing this woman did. Good lord.
This is so much worse than "neighbor".
Also, how fun:
Simonetti "intercepted" groceries ordered by the individual and refused to return them until officers told her to do so
Attempted murder.. yikes
There's a whole video of this floating around on the internet. I usually don't go in for videos that look like the old Cops show, but that one is worth a watch.
The woman she was harassing was renting out the basement of the house through Airbnb because she was fleeing domestic violence.
Simonetti didn't even own the property. She was illegally subletting the basement. The cops showed up and Simonetti was so crazy that the cops weren't having it.
a karen in its feral state.
I’ve seen this too, these people are terrifying. Here’s the link to the full body cam. Get ready for a whole helping of crazy eyes
That was fucking insane, like, Jesus christ, don't let this bitch control ANYTHING!
I skipped on the other videos, but got sucked in by the crazy eyes comment. What a ride!
Poor Tarantula.
I wonder why she's running as an independent. Couldn't be more qualified to be a Republican.
Although she initially launched her political career as a Republican and lost two Hennepin County Board races in 2024, the local 3rd Congressional District GOP committee withdrew its endorsement following her 2024 arrest, stating she 'does not reflect our values'.
The GOP kicked her out for bad behavior. She's too much for the addicts and pedophile warmongers.
Sounds like a charmer....
The bodycam footage of the incident is wild. She’s a complete and total piece of shit.
She's perfect for US Senate except for being about 50 years too young.
And yet 17 years too old for Trump to molest.
