WASHINGTON — In a stunning instance of miscommunication between departments, ICE agents have deported Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro back to Venezuela just hours after he was abducted by the DEA.
“ICE is simply doing its job and keeping America safe from world leaders,” said a defensive Kristi Noem. “I don’t know how the liberal media is trying to spin this, but Maduro is a bad hombre. He is a dangerous man, has known ties to drug cartels, and has absolutely no legal right to be captured in the United States. Adios, buster!”
The move has been met with strong criticism from the rest of Trump’s cabinet, most vocally from RFK Jr., who reportedly had high hopes that Maduro could “Hook it up with some Molly.”
This is a breaking story, and we’ll have more as it develops.
Funny but did the authors at Hardtimes write this knowing nothing about the situation except that Maduro is accused of being a drug trafficker and dictator?
The fact that I had to actually check what else this site put out to figure out it was satire is insane
ive been had
please ICE it’d be very funny if Maduro was sent back to Venezuela, humiliating AmeriKKKa even more than usual

The Hard Times is a satire website, it is a bit.

I am sincerely, actually sorry to have to tell you it was fake. TBH for a second when I first saw it I thought maybe it was possible and had a little hope…
I really wish it was real.deleted by creator
Not to be a buzz kill, but I think this is why we should have some sort of rule that fake news needs to stay on the fake news comm.
Or the post body should contain a disclaimer that it’s satire so that people realize (just like checking the comm and realizing it’s fakenews).
Wait, how did it feel to genuinely believe this was true when you left this comment?
It’s a really good bit, this is exactly the kind of thing I could imagine happening in a Trump admin obsessed with deportation numbers. They may well deport him at some point. Some racist right-wingers are mad that we brought non-White person into this country, one that will likely be living for quite a long time off of government supplies (prison, etc.).

Don’t feel bad!If it makes you feel better at all, you’re actually not the first Hexbear user I’ve spoken to today who wasn’t familiar with the site and thought it was a real news article. Like I said in my other comment, for a second I thought it might be real too, but then I checked the site and I was familiar with it as satire publication so I knew it was fake. It says a lot about AmeriKKKa that this seems plausible to many of us.

Our community is overdue for another round of contending with our ironic tendency. It is at a level that is weakening the site, IMO. There is a positive feedback between doomerism and ironic “gallows humor” and see need to reduce both before we burn each other out.
I didn’t mean to make you feel bad comrade! It’s been a long day.
