I seen him talkin' all nice to his ma, and stealin' pie right off her plate; I'm of a mind he was kiddin', is all.

But he wears handcuffs a lot, so he's probably serious about hatin' freedom an' such.
(BTW, Freedom is a Yang worship word, you will not speak it!)

I just checked out this Onion business. Funny? generally no. The story on the 'Puppy Dies Adorable Death' was funny. The rest...not so much.

As a Republican and a prosecutor and a volunteer for my Mayor's reelection campaign, I find that I have a very good sense of humor. I laugh daily at the latest crazy antics by those zaney liberals. I chuckle softly at my Mayor's campaign managers strategy to have us personally call every undecided voter in the City and convince them to vote for the person running againt us by annoying the hell out of them. As a prosecutor I find myself laughing every day at the people I send to jail. Had this guy yesterday, I convinced his attorney that we'd already spoken about the case a week or so ago and he'd already agreed to plead his client and send him to jail, even though it was our first pre-trial and I'd only just looked at the case for the first time some minutes before. Guy went to jail, even cried a bit. Can't tell me thats not funny.

Troubled by ethics? Not so much.

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

The Onion loves the publicity, and the White house is feeding it to them.

Wasn't anything unethical about my behaivor. The Defense Attorney...perhaps. I note for the record that the Defendant was guilty, else he never would have pled so, and got a just sentence based almost entirely on his prior record of similar offenses.

Today had a real ethical problem. A translator was acting as an advocate and adivising the Defendant. This interfered with the Public Defender's ability to represent the client. An unethical prosecutor would have taken the deal offered by the translator and gone round the PD. Instead I called the problem to the PD's and Court's attention and had the translator admonished on the record. Now instead of resolving today, the case, with the same deal, will be resolved with the PD in a week or two.

What happened to the-Onion and why does it suck now

I just asked Google's new AI chatbot "Bard" the very same question about both Biden and Trump. The difference in its answers is astounding
