I'm not "offended" by the Babylon Bee. It is just consistently unfunny. I mean, just a pale imitation of peak Onion.

 

The only thing funny from the Onion was their sports stuff.

This one drove a now-exiled poster into a he-doth-protesteth-too-much rage:

We have some current posters who similarly know an unsettling amount about various practices of the fringiest parts of the LGBT community.

 

The power to throw a nutcase into a rage is usually a sign that the humor is on point ...

The same applies to those who don't find the Babylon Bee funny.

I happen to enjoy both the Bee AND the Onion (at least back in the day).

C'mon msn, the Bee has made me laugh more than once.

I know some folks read Ann Althouse's blog - retired law professor. I remember her saying the same thing about the BB - she just doesn't find it funny, even when it is attempting to skewer something she thinks deserves to be skewered. Maybe a little too obvious?

That was what (used to be) fun about The Onion. Here is one that keeps coming to mind whenever I see one of those "first ever disabled gender neutral to do [blank] stories:

Maybe it's the longer format rather than the Twitter-friendly headline only? Or just more clever writers.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an unexpected turn of events, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has rocketed to the top of polls for the 2024 Democratic Party nomination for president after suffering what appeared to be a stroke in the middle of a press conference yesterday.

 

"We all know Democrat voters love impaired candidates," said pollster Frank Luntz. "Joe Biden, John Fetterman, and Diane Feinstein are all beloved among Democrat voters. It makes sense that they would flock toward Senator McConnell after his unexplained episode. With this latest health scare, he's the ideal Democratic candidate."

Your idiocy shines through in every post. Remarkable consistency. 

 

But again repetitive, consistent idiocy is not going to get you court jester.

 

I'm sorry, billstool still has miles on you.

Keep quoting a right wing, satire rag and thinking that it makes you look smart
 

It doesn’t

It says absolutely nothing about me and everything about you.

 

Let's revisit your unhinged rant to a "satire rag" post

 

:lol:

their schtick is not about making people look smart- they incessantly mock the obvious stupidity, ignorance and incompetence of the obsequious programed lefty mind. 
 

it’s notable because they counter all of pop culture that is deathly afraid to speak out against that side.

Well, yeah.

 

But don't expect a mouth breather like JFR to understand.

You quote this rag far too much not to believe it
 

They could tell you anything, and you would eat it up gerbil

 

That's right moron...

 

The fact that a satire account triggers you so badly only bolsters its credibility.

 

Maybe you do have a court jester run in you after all...

Orange I don’t even know why you’re disputing this. When was the last time you saw a category one hurricane, and one part of our state and out of control forest fires in the other
 

I don’t think it’s ever happened before

In Cali.  Give it a week.
