If anyone is like me and wondering where The Topical went, The Onion is currently considering whether to keep producing it. @TheeDanRodden has a tweet from a month ago asking for support. There's a petition here: https://www.change.org/p/fans-of-the-topical-and-the-onion-i-want-new-episodes-of-the-topical
"Curse your current but inevitable betrayal"
Lmao
Literally saw this as soon as I woke up. 👀
Trump isn't the problem. He represents a portion of the population that mirrors 1930s Europe. Antifa forever!
The Trump campaign would unironically call The Onion Fake News, and that's hilarious.
nice
Wow. what a climax to election season.
yes. get rid of Pelosi, nader, Schumer, AOC, Omar, and the other anti American groups in the Congress. then the country will heal unless Biden and Harris get elected. that means going socialist the lost of our 2 ammendment and the confiscation of our guns. and added taxes
Welp, starting to get increasingly political (and decreasingly funny) unlike the first few months. It was a good while it lasted.
HAHAHAHA
I never thought this podcast could be scary!
HAHAHAHA!!!
