Dumb headlines thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

It was a complete logic fail on your part from the get-go, just how long was I supposed to be patient with your accusations about me, dishonesty and stupidity?

I'm not getting in a pissing contest with you because you can't take some good-natured ribbing over your Christian con women comment.
Drop it.

You escalated with your "Squirm much??" and lie about what I and you had posted, "I didn't say anything at all about my pursuing women or girls, so I didn't invent anything. I just reflected on your comments!" after failing on logic and accuracy with your attempts at repartee. I responded appropriately. Ironic that the sole name I used that got you so upset is "whiner". Not my problem that you can't stand the heat in your own kitchen.

No, I crossed the line when I assumed you had a humorous side. There were no lies told.
I joked about your "When I'm in the mood for debauchery, I always go to Chick-fil-A. Those Christian con women are WILD!"
That in itself was humorous, but apparently you are the only humorous one here?

"Not my problem that you can't stand the heat in your own kitchen."
Pot meets kettle.

Now, put it to rest.

Another lie.
It was a lie for you to say that I accused you of "pursuing ... girls".
It was a lie for you to say that you "didn't invent anything." You brought "girls" into the discussion, not me.


I joked about your "When I'm in the mood for debauchery, I always go to Chick-fil-A. Those Christian con women are WILD!"

I played along for several rounds until you got snippy and dishonest when your humor fell flat because it was so illogical. Own your choices.

... Now, put it to rest.
Funny that you're incapable of following your own advice.

I thought the headline "Tammy Duckworth to be the First Sitting Senator to Give Birth" was a bit insensitive in regard to a person who spends most of her life in a wheelchair.

Apparently others noticed, too, and the replacements got worse.

"Tammy Duckworth set to be first Senator to have baby in office" (must not have medical insurance?)

"Senator Tammy Duckworth pregnant, would be first acting Senator to give birth..." (acting? I think she's a real elected Senator)

"Man in US illegally guilty of killing 2 California deputies"

Illegally guilty? Found guilty illegally by a jury, or found guilty by an illegal jury? If he's "illegally guilty" does that mean he's not guilty at all and shot only the sheriff but did not shoot the deputies?

Top U.S. diplomat announces mandatory sexual harassment training

I would rather see sexual harassment prevention training, but maybe that's just me. :D

Uber Eats headquarters
Uber Eats car
Uber Eats dinner
Uber Eats gift cards
Uber Eats Asheville (or any city)

There must be at least one driver named Richard. Yep,
Spoiler:
Uber Eats Dick.

Mom, son die after being buried in snow by California condo

Comment:
My gosh...buried by a condo. Gotta be a horrible way to go.
Great, now I need to worry about defending myself from my condo.

More seriously, it does put those AFV snowy roof videos in a different light.

OK, so this is a terrible story of (more) cops behaving badly and could go to the LEO thread, but the headline is too ridiculous to pass up:

I would have shot her with a fire extinguisher, but that's just me.

I don't think I would have gotten into the burning car with her, either.

Ivanka Trump to meet South Korean minister in light of Tillerson firing

There's nothing wrong with the headline's authorship, but it's still so ludicrous that I figured this is where it belongs. :D It's the full realization of that time when model Ivanka was asked what she wanted to do next and she giggled and replied, "World peace."
