Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Presidential Rank Award for exceptional performance in her defense of soda. Lol

senior director of global security at PepsiCo

Haha. What is that combination of words?

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

As a veteran of the Dr Pepper SWAT team I understand the sacrifices she made in a way few else could

She knew Trump prefers the Coca-Cola Company's garbage illuminati

My allegiance is to the Subcommander Fido Dido 07

UlyssesT would have a field day with this shit

It is amazing that she thought she could/should hold on after this

shame has been entirely bred out of the 'elite' class, as long as you never back down and never admit fault you can basically do anything

Secret service is notorious for regular impressive fuck ups. Gonna be funny when that keeps happening even after losing out the scapegoat.

Shout out to the couple that gatecrashed the white house in 2009

just bluffed their way in iirc

Who would win, the Director of the SS or One Sloped Roof

She failed to get him killed, I would resign too

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago

Mrs. Cheeto, you're fired!

[–] elpaso@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

This is why you never trust local law enforcement.

It's like the USS went: "Uvalde Police Department? Is that some kind of weird ass speakeasy?"

[–] ChairmanSpongebob@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

I'm honestly surprised anyone in our government has been held accountable for fucking up for once

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 3 months ago

After the lame "that slope was kinda dangerous" excuse I was expecting her to be fired on the spot.
