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.”

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.

Interpreter to foreign guest, in his native language: "The minister admits that he is an idiot."

Oh, good to know, because he can barely speak English.

He says „i am an idiot“ without saying „i am an idiot“.

This whole administration is really giving that scene from Harold and Kumar vibes and I hate it. Or, really any scene with him in it lol.

These people are all sociopaths, so they have no idea how to behave and speak normally. They think they know what to say so that we'll never guess how weird they really are, but they're STUPID, too, so they really don't understand, and end up saying all sorts of inappropriate nonsense.
