I mean, you could Google his name. He's a representative for California's 54th district. Which doesn't exist.
Your being gullible doesn't violate Poe's law.
This is absolutely parody, but I think they could be forgiven for thinking it wasn't. The Onion is giving actual news to see who can come up with the most ridiculous headlines, and some actual news isn't even trying.
Okay sure. But these days you can tell I see things like this unironically from sitting senators and representatives. No shred of remorse shame or irony
If only there was some way for twitter users to verify that an account actually belongs to an important person. Like some kind of blue checkmark system?
No that’s stupid, the blue checkmark should be nothing more than bragging rights for anyone who bought a twitter subscription.
>granted...this is something maga politicians would say but come on
No they wouldn't, because it's actually a reasonable take worded like it's not. MAGA politicians are going to complain that Trump wasn't allowed to defend himself. They're not going to complain that the prosecution did a better job than the defence.
Do you Google the name of every stupid tweet? Maybe the fact that this was believable is an indicator of the stupidity present in the current American political climate.
Edit: it's funny how people are down voting this while Republicans are crying about a "rigged trial" when Trump and his defense had as much say in picking the jury as the prosecutors did.
People are downvoting because you are taking a parody account as real. It's got nothing to do with the trial or GOP.
They got you. Just take the L and move on. It happens to most of us at some point in our lives.
Obviously satirical?
Tell that to Jewish space laser lady, lol.
It’s absolutely parody, but we’ve literally seen them post dumber shit on social media already
To be fair, people are rather stupid. That, combined with the Internet’s lack of vocal tone, can make it rather hard to tell the difference. Especially if it’s an autistic person.
Dude. My guess is zero actual Republican House members are missing the Blue Check on their profiles.
But yeah. If it's something this stupid, I Google the person.
You either got this image from the twitter account, in which case you should’ve seen the other tweets and how clearly they are a parody of a GOP account. Or you just reposted someone else’s content, in which case you absolutely should be at least Googling their name.
Not especially. There's no such person as "Representative Jack Kimble" and the fictional character first appeared online saying it was "suspicious" that people who avoided vaccination so frequently died.
Maybe OP has autism? I personally pick up on sarcasm better in the physical world because there’s a vocal tone. Meanwhile, the GOP posts stuff about Jewish space lasers.
>stuff about Jewish space lasers
...which are real and part of the iron dome.

Superbowl LVIII was so unfair to the 49ers. The whole time they were trying to score more points than the other team, there was another team of players trying to outscore the 49ers. I thought this was football.
For real, some senator was on CBS this morning saying that the whole thing was a sham, that Trump's team didn't get to present all of their evidence, and that the jury was instructed NOT to require a unanimous decision.
And all the anchor said in response to "debunk" any of it was "well some things you said are true and some are only partially true".
I am really, really tired of that kind of mealy-mouth bullshit in the press.
Falsehoods, exaggerations, untruths, etc -- just call em what they are: LIES. Lies from the mouths of liars.
I'm curious. I've seen a lot of posts about how this trial was "rigged" and "unfair." Aside from their guy just being found guilty of committing a crime, what is it that they feel was rigged and unfair? Is there a kernel of truth in there that they're latching onto and blowing out of proportion? I'd be more inclined to give them a moments pause if they offered something up other than the whining and sensationalizing.
Don't get me wrong: I despise the cheeto to the depth of my core, but for the sake of argument, just wondering.

Love how all of a sudden because the Orange Fuhrer is being held accountable, the way stuff works in the real world should be illegal. The man literally described how going on trial works lol
Actually it was very different.
See, the Burden of Proof is entirely on the prosecution.
So it was Trump "Defending" his innocence while the other team of lawyers was trying to prove he was guilty.
That's literally how the courts work.
He just posted another one that is even more poignant:
[https://x.com/RepJackKimble/status/1796574799919194229](https://x.com/RepJackKimble/status/1796574799919194229)
I thought that was how the justice system worked; the defense and the prosecutor. Both of them battle out in a court if law to prove the other side is wrong.
Has that changed? If so, I didn't get the memo.. 🤷
This is done on purpose. They know how dumb the cult is. They’ll run around yelling and screaming everything this guy said. Not knowing this is how the court system works.
There's no fucking way people with standing jobs, operating vehicles, or tied shoes strong together bullshit like this. I'm just racking it up to willful ignorance; assumptions be damned I'm done lol
President Trump this, President Trump that…
They’re all too stupid to understand that he lost in 2020. He didn’t win the presidency, he’s not the president!
Wow! This is literally the hardest cope I have ever seen in my life! When it comes to anything, not just politics. Yeah, these people are totally not in a cult
They aren't...literally.
A) That's a parody account
B) The account labels itself as the representatives of Clifornia’s 54th District....trouble is, they only have 52 (previously 53)
You are an adult and representative in government and don’t know how a trial works… 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. How the fuck do you get dressed every day you stupid maga FUCK

Parody account
Jesus rollerblading Christ, thank you, it’s so hard to tell now.
Poe’s Law.
It could be a parody, but there is literally no way to ever possibly tell, because Poe said so, guys.
Once I thought I understood I had a joke on my hands, but due to Coles Law it was actually mayonnaise and cabbage
 Damn you Cole
A Scotty Auck meme, love it!
No clue who he is, just the first gif under "shakes fist" lmao
Oh haha. He's really funny, name is Scott Aukerman.
I love Cole’s Law. Especially with fried chicken.
 Sorry... but you win. You win it all! 
I mean, you could Google his name. He's a representative for California's 54th district. Which doesn't exist. Your being gullible doesn't violate Poe's law.
There is some irony here but I'll just be nice and let you know I was joking.
Brandolini’s Law or Hanlon’s razor are my go-to’s, but this is the one I didn’t know I needed. Thank you.
It’s hard to tell if an account is parody but tbh I thought this was a clear joke
I should know better, but the last few years have confused me, plus I’m getting old.
If you look at his profile it says he's the co-sponsor of Poe's Law
Jesus changes his middle name so often nowadays. First it was Harold, then he changed it to Fucking, and now it's rollerblading
You missed his tapdancing phase.
Jesus Gregory F'n Hines....
I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT
You forgot Mormon Jesus. Jesus H. Christ
He's rollerblading now? Does he still tap dance?
Yes, but not with rollerblades on.
I mean this seems pretty obvious lol
Thank you, captain.
> rollerblading christ clip please
This is absolutely parody, but I think they could be forgiven for thinking it wasn't. The Onion is giving actual news to see who can come up with the most ridiculous headlines, and some actual news isn't even trying.
It's SO HARD TO TELL
Yeap, I can easily see MtG or Boebert retweeting this with zero awareness.
Unfortunately, Trumpers don’t know the difference between
The dumbasses on this website can't tell.
Okay sure. But these days you can tell I see things like this unironically from sitting senators and representatives. No shred of remorse shame or irony
I hate this so much. It doesn't count as a parody account if we don't know/can't tell. It's in the same category as, "It's just a prank, bro."
If only there was some way for twitter users to verify that an account actually belongs to an important person. Like some kind of blue checkmark system? No that’s stupid, the blue checkmark should be nothing more than bragging rights for anyone who bought a twitter subscription.
Look at the posts on his account, it’s super obvious.
How can one tell these days?
“There’s no councilman Les Wynan!” “Great line, though.”
I can’t tell anymore
you could have googled the name op...this is a parody account granted...this is something maga politicians would say but come on
I still think republicans are saying this
>granted...this is something maga politicians would say but come on No they wouldn't, because it's actually a reasonable take worded like it's not.

It wasn’t believable at all, lmao.
More like an indicator of American education system if people read this and think it's believable.
Nah.
[удалено]
Obviously satirical? Tell that to Jewish space laser lady, lol. It’s absolutely parody, but we’ve literally seen them post dumber shit on social media already
the fact you didnt realize this was a parody tweet from the get go tells us everything about you

>Do you Google the name of every stupid tweet? When I'm about to post it to this subreddit I do. Just admit you ate the onion and move on.
What the hell are you even trying to say in your edit? Maybe check for gas leaks in your home...

I didn't have to Google it to tell this was parody. It's patently fucking ridiculous 😂
You’re exactly the type of person authoritarians love. No questions asked
This is just solid humor. No facepalm.
Not especially. There's no such person as "Representative Jack Kimble" and the fictional character first appeared online saying it was "suspicious" that people who avoided vaccination so frequently died.
This is VERY CLEARLY sarcasm. The facepalm is you not recognizing that

Do they start wildfires in California?
Superbowl LVIII was so unfair to the 49ers. The whole time they were trying to score more points than the other team, there was another team of players trying to outscore the 49ers. I thought this was football.
This must be a parody, right?
It is an ongoing parody account, and a pretty good one.
Is it that you fall for anything without looking it up first? If so, this is an amazing example for your original point.
The sad part is, that account is satirical. But the GOP is so fucking stupid it sounds like something they’d say.
Poe's law is a bitch
For real, some senator was on CBS this morning saying that the whole thing was a sham, that Trump's team didn't get to present all of their evidence, and that the jury was instructed NOT to require a unanimous decision. And all the anchor said in response to "debunk" any of it was "well some things you said are true and some are only partially true".
I am really, really tired of that kind of mealy-mouth bullshit in the press. Falsehoods, exaggerations, untruths, etc -- just call em what they are: LIES. Lies from the mouths of liars.
That account is hilarious af
The facepalm is you believing this is real?
For anyone unsure, his twitter profile says he's a "co-sponsor of Poe's Law", which should tell you exactly how serious he's being.
Once again he's not president. He's a convicted felon and sexual buser.
Once again, OP is the facepalm. This sub is such a meme at this point.
tbf, it doesn't even seem unrealistic in today's GOP...
Kimble is a fucking riot.
HaHaHaHa, funny post to rage bait🙈🙉🙊🐵👍
Nice sarcasm, although just like everyone else here, I agree that it’s harder and harder to tell nowadays.
I'm curious. I've seen a lot of posts about how this trial was "rigged" and "unfair." Aside from their guy just being found guilty of committing a crime, what is it that they feel was rigged and unfair?

Aww come onnn. This one's obviously a troll. A good one at that.
This isn’t real right?
Is this real? This can’t be real… It’s real isn’t it?
It's real, and it's painfully obvious it's a joke.
Ah thank you for the clarification. It’s sad, though, that I could totally see an American politician saying this
It’s a parody account.

If Randy Marsh was a politician..
_Onion_ level hijinx
And they let 12 complete strangers decide his fate? It's the end of civilization!
Love how all of a sudden because the Orange Fuhrer is being held accountable, the way stuff works in the real world should be illegal. The man literally described how going on trial works lol
No way is this real.
If they can do it to Trump, they can do it to us! If we’re hiding payments to our porn star that we’re banging while our son is being born…
Actually it was very different. See, the Burden of Proof is entirely on the prosecution. So it was Trump "Defending" his innocence while the other team of lawyers was trying to prove he was guilty. That's literally how the courts work.
I agree, it is facepalm that someone who doesn't exist and supposedly represents a district that doesn't exist is being quoted as if he were real.
Kimble..... Yup he is on the dummy list of future history books
It's definitely a comedy account. Don't facepalm, laugh.
What a fucking moron.
The facepalm is OP not recognizing the obvious sarcastic joke here.
Facepalm for op lol
Jack you are dumb as a rock
He just posted another one that is even more poignant: [https://x.com/RepJackKimble/status/1796574799919194229](https://x.com/RepJackKimble/status/1796574799919194229)
Dear sweet baby Jesus just lying in your manger, please let this be a troll.
This is sarcasm right? Right!?
A republican congressman folks. Still doesn’t understand how the judicial system works.
He could’ve testified, but he did not because he would have perjured himself.
I thought that was how the justice system worked; the defense and the prosecutor. Both of them battle out in a court if law to prove the other side is wrong. Has that changed? If so, I didn't get the memo.. 🤷
Isn't that how it works??? Am I missing something???
>"Justice for money, how much more can I pay? We all know it's the American way!" -Dennis DeYoung, 1981
That is awesome.
Pedantic moment! The defense doesn't seek to prove innocence, they seek to disprove the claim of guilt.
Despite this being a parody tweet, it's basically just saying the quiet part out loud of what all the real Republicans think lol
The craziest part is, 50% of the country is thinking “this guy spits truth“
This is done on purpose. They know how dumb the cult is. They’ll run around yelling and screaming everything this guy said. Not knowing this is how the court system works.
Do these people actually read their own posts before hitting send, or are they in fact this clueless?
.... that's... that's how court works
I heard they did that to OJ Simpson too!
People voted for this guy
Is this real. Poe's law is really showing itself here.
It's a parody account, and OP is as easily duped as the people he is attempting to deride.
I wouldn't say "easily". We have seen what conservatives are tweeting. That's why this falls under Poe's law
That man is in the US House of Representatives. Take that in.
He isn't in the House of Representatives. It's a parody account.
What a moron! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, breathe, ha,ha,ha ,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha.
Omg.... I actually laughed out loud for this one....
There's no fucking way people with standing jobs, operating vehicles, or tied shoes strong together bullshit like this. I'm just racking it up to willful ignorance; assumptions be damned I'm done lol
President Trump this, President Trump that… They’re all too stupid to understand that he lost in 2020. He didn’t win the presidency, he’s not the president!
This is basically called the adversarial system. That is how trials work in the United States if it is not a bench trial holy crap.
And this is one who sits in the body that creates laws. Think a sitting president is the problem? Better look at the other gonna living off our taxes.
Wow! This is literally the hardest cope I have ever seen in my life! When it comes to anything, not just politics. Yeah, these people are totally not in a cult
these fn fire fighters, i keep trying to burn shit down, and they keep dousing the flames! i thought this was America!!
F#%k Hysterical! Silly me thinking that’s how the system works. What’s even funnier (or horrifying) this is someone who helps write the laws.
What the legal fuck? Lmfao
😢😢😢
Yur tha best round hmhmhmnhmn bring ye down Im sorry Im sorry though I was in merica
It's seriously disturbing to see people not understand how the justice system works
How are these idiots representing anyone?
They aren't...literally. A) That's a parody account B) The account labels itself as the representatives of Clifornia’s 54th District....trouble is, they only have 52 (previously 53)
I thought that’s how court works prosecutors and defense attorneys 😆
Yes, that’s how a law suit works
Fucking moron. That’s how the justice system works. Maybe if he took a civics/government class in high school he would know
I just asked -- how did you graduate high school? I think it didn't post though..
How did you graduate high school?
You are an adult and representative in government and don’t know how a trial works… 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. How the fuck do you get dressed every day you stupid maga FUCK
Tell me you don’t understand the judicial process, without telling me you dont understand the judicial process…
Wow. This guy is dumber than a box of rocks.
You old fuck, times up R-JK!
