    You just cannot make this stuff up

    Source: Fake News Site Lets Liberals Live In Alternate Reality Where Hillary Is President


    Liberals seeking refuge from reality now have a fake news website where they can pretend to live in a world where Hillary Clinton is president.

    “Approval ratings for President Clinton hit 89 percent,” “Confused by fake news, Redditers think Trump is president” and “DOJ considers charging Trump with treason” are just a few headlines featured on HillaryBeatTrump.org, a satirical news site devoted to covering stories from an alternate universe where Hillary won last November’s election.

    “In the midst of a Constitutional crisis, this is our response,” the site’s description reads. “Long live the true president, Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

    The site’s proprietors do not identify themselves online, and did not return TheDC’s request for comment, but their articles suggest they have liberal leanings.

    "The site’s proprietors do not identify themselves online, and did not return TheDC’s request for comment, but their articles suggest they have liberal leanings."


    A couple other headlines include: "Lazy reporting or fake news? Fox & Friends, Daily Caller mistakenly assert Trump “is president,”" "Historians say Clinton's presidency is already in “all time top 5”" and "NYT pans Clinton's “oppressively intelligent press conference” as “boring and too sane"”

    While the website claims to be satire, it also says that it’s an active part of the organized anti-Trump movement, the "resistance" and the site bills itself as "NEWS FROM THE REAL AMERICA, WHERE THE MAJORITY RULES."

    "You're by far the worst poster on TWeb" and "TWeb's biggest liar" --starlight (the guy who says Stalin was a right-winger)
    "Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight
    "Of course, human life begins at fertilization that’s not the argument." --Tassman

    I'm not sure how this is related to safe spaces or snowflakes? It's just a goofy satire site. Maybe not necessarily a good satire site, but the point doesn't seem to be any more a distributor of fake news than The Onion.

          I don't quite know what that means but I like the cut of your jib.

                  It does! Or at least it should.
                  Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

                    Facts before opinion. I know Sparko thinks liberals are insane enough to have a fantasy news site because they can't deal with reality (and presumably anyone who said amen to him), as does Rogue06.

                    Here are a few of the headlines.

                    Trump vehemently denies mental illness, explaining: "I'm on tons of cocaine"

                    Mike Pence’s latest hobby: Gardening with Grindr matches

                    Anthony Weiner switches to rotary phone

                    No worries: Paul Ryan found his Adderall

                    Riots after state of emergency declared in California over boba tea shortage
                    This is Onion flavored material. Anyone thinking this isn't a satire website hasn't read it.

                      Leonhard, it's not so much that the site is satire, but that it leans so heavily towards what many liberals would dearly love to be true.

                              I had a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner. Maybe I'll have fish tonight.
