Notorious Sex Pest Lands Position
Sarasota, Florida (THE IT OF THAT) “Matt Gaetz is a pioneer in the use of Venmo for tuition reimbursement. We look forward to his sharing that knowledge with our DeSantis installed board of directors, as the Jeffrey Epstein/Donald J. Trump marginally endowed chair in our financial aid department." A smiling Gaetz was pleased with the new position, which he sees as a great opportunity. "Field research with coeds is essential, and where better to conduct that, than in the dorms, classrooms and grounds of the New College of Florida?"
No mention was made about Gaetz's withdrawing his candidacy to be attorney general.

TRUMP PICKS JILL STEIN AS AMERICA'S NEW AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA
November 15, 2024
Stein back in the (former) USSR
The Russians helped Stein in 2016: “Russians working under the direction of the Internet Research Agency, the firm run by a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, tweeted the phrase ‘Jill Stein’ over 1,000 times around the time of the election. The posts were often accompanied by variations of the same hashtag, ‘Grow a spine and vote Jill Stein…’ – NBC News (December 22, 2018)
And Stein touted their propaganda in return: In 2015, Stein “recorded a video from Moscow’s famous Red Square, in which she talked about ‘the need to rein in American exceptionalism’ and replace ‘a U.S. policy based on domination’—words that sounded like they were ripped from Putin’s talking points.” – POLITICO (June 20, 2017). During the campaign of 2016, Stein “parroted the Russian position on Ukraine and criticized the U.S. for installing a government in Kiev ‘hostile to Russia.’” – NBC News(December 22, 2018)
While the champagne and caviar flowed, Stein was asked if she knew how many officials populate the Duma, Russia's lower house of representatives. Without hesitation, as Putin watched she answered correctly, "450!"
Stein's correct answer was in stark contrast to her inability to answer Angela Rye's question about the United States on The Breakfast Club, "How many voting members in the United States House of Representatives Republican, Democrat and Independent?
"How many in total? What is it 600 some?
The correct answer, which was made law in 1929 and hasn't changed since 1963, is 435.
"If only the Department of Education wasn't imperiled, Stein, based on her answer, was clearly as qualified to be rewarded by Trump with a cabinet post, like Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Affairs Secretary and Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence."

"I really thought he [Gundry] connected the dots in a way that few people did," claimed the former follower, who gave up on the diet doc when his last paper was exposed.

New York, NY (THE IT OF THAT) Judge Juan Merchan has postponed the sentencing "if necessary" of 34 felony count unanimous guilty jury verdict convicted Donald Trump, stating that, "...the imposition of sentence will be adjourned to avoid a appearance-however unwarranted-that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching Presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate." The post election, but surely not post election ballot challenges, is now scheduled for November 26, 2024, two days before Thanksgiving.
So we have the strange reality that the sentencing of Trump's Election Interference Felony Conviction is postponed to itself not be Election Interference.
So we have the strange reality that the sentencing of Trump's Election Interference Felony Conviction is postponed to itself not be Election Interference.
Explanations for the delay in sentencing include the widely speculative assertion that Clarence Thomas would lead a SCOTUS effort to "exonerate" Trump's convicted criminal conduct, postulating that the political influence of his insurrectionist meddling hausfrau, Ginni and his billionaire benefactor Harlan Crow could influence this stalwart defender of the Constitution. Further, that the favorable SCOTUS ruling would be the "October Surprise" that would aid Trump's re-re-election effort.

CLARENCE THOMAS CLAIMS SCOTUS ORIGINALISM HAS GONE TOO FAR

Originalism is a bitch, right?
Washington, D.C. (THE IT OF THAT) "This shit stops here," the former SCOTUS associate justice stated, "I shouldn't lose what I have earned, just because society isn't ready or willing to accept the brilliance of black people.
"There is nothing we can do, former SCOTUS ally Samuel Alito said, while raising a "Blacks Will Not Replace Us" flag in place of the "Jews Will Not Replace Us" flag he said his wife, Martha-Ann, bought. "I'd like to help, but Constitutional originalism is originalism." -Samuel Alito
Try as he might, Thomas could not rationally explain how a Black man can serve on the Supreme Court in 2024, when in 1791, the original Constitution, Article I Section 9, allowed Black slavery to continue unabated, forbidding congressional action that would end the migration and importation of African slaves. Originalists have noted that not only were there no mention of Black justices, Black men and women were property, not persons, and escaping slaves were subject to capture and returned as 'property' to their 'owners', Article IV Section 2.
"There is nothing we can do, former SCOTUS ally Samuel Alito said, while raising a "Blacks Will Not Replace Us" flag in place of the "Jews Will Not Replace Us" flag he said his wife, Martha-Ann, bought. "I'd like to help, but Constitutionalism originalism is originalism."

Atlanta, Georgia (THE IT OF THAT) On the eve of the first presidential debate, Donald Trump, the presumptive republican nominee, has released his five step plan for intermittent farting in his new book, The Art of the Fart. "I know intermittent fasting is bigly huge, but, trust me, my intermittent farting will blow it away." Trump promises to demonstrate all five of his fart inducing techniques on Thursday night.
Grown men, big, with tears in their eyes, approach me in the street and ask me, "Sir, how can I learn to fart like you?" "I tell them to fart the Trump way, you must buy Trump's The Art of the Fart" - Donald Jessica Trump
It's doubtful that Trump's "trumps" will be heard at home, as they would have to be loud enough to be picked up on president Biden's microphone, with CNN silencing Trump's microphone when he isn't speaking. The deadly part is a greater concern to others trapped in the studio, including President Biden and CNN co-hosts Jake Tapper, Dana Bash and CNN crew.
In The Art of the Fart, Trump proclaims his expertise, as his very name declares according to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED):
trump (verb): To give forth a trumpet-like sound; spec. to break wind audibly (slang or colloquial).
Speaking of breaking wind, V.P. hopeful Doug Burgum, curiously stated that working with Trump "was like having a beautiful breeze at your back."

" This in no way makes up for the tens of thousands of Central and South Americans who were killed so North Americans can have cheap breakfast fruit and we make huge profits."
The spokesman said the $38.3 million federal jury verdict against Chiquita Brands to pay 16 family members of people killed during Colombia's civil war by United Self-Defense Groups of Colombia (Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia, AUC), a right-wing paramilitary group funded by the company, was a deciding factor to reorient the company for good.
"When you own a big piece of the bloody third world, the babies (and bananas) just come with the scenery"
Critics were not impressed with the verdict. Paraphrasing a lyric from The Pretenders song, In the Middle of the Road, "When you own a big piece of the bloody third world, the babies (and bananas) just come with the scenery."
"Chiquita is the multinational corporation that grew out of the notorious United Fruit Company, a massive enterprise that wielded economic sway over a number of Central and South American countries, including Colombia. United Fruit supported authoritarian governments throughout the region, and successfully lobbied the US government to overthrow the democratically-elected Guatemalan government of President Jacobo Arbenz in 1954, after Arbenz enacted several labor and land reforms intended to ease the suffering of Guatemalan workers. Then US Secretary of State John Foster Dulles had represented United Fruit as a corporate lawyer. His brother, Allen Dulles, ran the CIA. United Fruit Company operated from 1899 through 1984, when Cincinnati, Ohio billionaire Carl Lindner, Jr. transformed the company into Chiquita" -from Daylight Comes to Chiquita’s Use of Colombian Death Squads Democracy Now!

"How can we effectively protect fetal personhood, yet deny protection from what made the fetus, the sperm," Britt asks, adding "You can't be Pro-Life and Pro-Fetus and not be Pro-Sperm." The bill, which will establish a National Registry of Masturbators, is co-sponsored by aging white republican senators who would not respond to questioning about their own wanking.
"You can't be Pro-Life and Pro-Fetus and not be Pro-Sperm." "Don't Spill your Seed, Do the Deed," -Katie Britt
The bill directly attacks Planned Parenthood who counsel, "It’s totally normal to masturbate (touch yourself for sexual pleasure) whether you’re sexually active with other people or not. Masturbation even has health benefits, like reducing stress." In response Senator Britt said, "Don't Spill your Seed, Do the Deed," and "Don't Masturbate, Procreate"
The biblical reference to Onan "spilling his seed" and God's subsequent retribution Genesis 38:9 was presented as a cautionary tale:
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto
his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

The chances that Manhattan will provide that are 41,587 to 1."

GAZAN JOURNALISTS WIN AWARD
April 11, 2024
Gaza Strip (THE IT OF THAT) Gazan journalists have won the prestigious Donald Trump Award for Lying. The judges said the award's motto, Falsus in Uno, Falsus in Omnibus, which is Latin for False in One, False in All, perfectly applies to Hamas' adhoc press corp, which includes all layers of Gazan society on Hamas' payroll. The Donald Trump Award for Lying was named for Trump's unparalleled record for lying while president, communicating 30,573 lies in just 1,460 days, averaging over 20 erroneous claims a day according to a published analysis conducted by the Washington Post.
"Never in the field of human conflict has so much been written, for so long, by so many, to inform so few." "Their [the Gazan journalists] willful blindness is inspiring."
Gazan journalists skillfully covered-up the terror facilitating activities of the infamous "Gaza Metro", a tunnel system that eclipses in length (350+ miles) both London's Underground (250 miles) and the New York City Subway system (245 miles), that is used to store, move and deploy weapons and terrorists. The judges commend the non-reporting of the Gaza Metro's unique "subway stations", over 5,000 home based shafts that access the tunnels. "How so many journalists could have avoided reporting a story literally under their feet is astounding."
Specifically referencing the October 7th attack, to have not seen and reported how Hamas assembled the weapons and terrorists, rehearsed, staged and completed the heinous attack on civilians attending a concert in Israel on October 7th, that left more than 1,100 dead and over 240 abducted (imagine 9/11 with hostages), "their [the Gazan journalists] willful blindness is inspiring."
Close runner-up was the domestic media outlet, Democracy Now!, whose downplaying of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and subsequent platforming of an endless stream of unchallenged Palestinian sympathizers was cited by the panel as lovely in its Trump-esque excesses.

Dodging the question, the No Labels® spokesperson focused on how this candidacy would serve as a test to see if dead voters would be more attracted to a ticket lead by dead candidates.
"We've always heard about voters voting while dead, what could be more appealing than candidates they share the most fundamental part of their existence, or non-existence with, dead candidates."

RNC co-chair Lara Trump's action against minorities could be disastrous for V.P. aspirant Tim Scott (R-SC). Tim Scott was not concerned, adding that 'The Great Replacement Theory' is no threat to his quest to join Trump, as he is "whiter than Mike Pence."
'The Great Replacement Theory' is no threat to his quest to join Trump, as he is "whiter than Mike Pence." -Tim Scott
The cash strapped RNC has nevertheless produced an app to unambiguously respond to anyone not considered white. Seemingly perversely inspired by the famous Apple multi-language "hello" welcome screen greeting, the RNC app spells out a multi-language "goodbye". In the background is a GOP elephant logo with a pointy hood resting on its upturned trunk.
The goodbye messaging is Adiós (Spanish), Chào tạm biệt (Vietnamese), Donadagohvi (Cherokee), Tókša akhé (Lakota) and Ilcep-ah-non-es-tchah (Seminole).
In contrast, the RNC investment and messaging operation's greeting for Russians "привет" is unaffected.
The outreach centers’ closures in states including California, New York, North Carolina and Texas, prompted a statement from the Biden campaigns Black and Hispanic media outreach directors, Maca Casado and Jasmine Harris. They characterized Mr. Trump’s minority outreach efforts as “hollow” and “cheap distractions from the poster boy for modern racism who is running to undermine the progress and success of our communities.”
Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison spoke about Lara Trump's performance as his counterpart, even including her penchant for producing MAGA retail product. “Lara Trump’s ‘music career’ is just like her time at the RNC so far: embarrassing, unserious, and a waste of money. But we can appreciate the effort – and wanted to help Lara tell her own story about how she and her fellow MAGA extremists at the RNC are broke and losing election after election. That’s why we’re excited to release our very first single, ‘Party’s Fallin’ Down,’ a summer party anthem about how the RNC is falling apart under Lara Trump and the rest of the new ultra-MAGA team. We didn’t put as much time and money into making our song since we’re busy with our record-breaking fundraising and supporting Democrats up and down the ballot..."

PR AWARD
STUDENTS FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE Supporters defile college campuses, block streets and bridges and use social media to spread antisemitic messages that justify and celebrate Hamas' slaughter of 1,200 overwhelmingly Israeli Jewish people to advance a "peace" that the terrorist organization doesn't want, and a two state solution Hamas has always been against. Great work!
"Book publisher that publishes lies, sues author for telling truth."
PR AWARD Runner-up
"JOURNALISM" FROM HAMASISTAN While we mourn the loss of reporters in the war that Hamas started with a murderous attack and abductions, (Imagine 9/11 with hostages) the world mourns the utter and complete loss of brave, accurate and truthful reporting of Hamas that none of them ever provided.
SPIN AWARD (THREE WAY MUSKOVITE TIE)
TESLA When their cars crash in autonomous mode, killing occupants and destroying property, leading to a recall of nearly all TESLA'S in the U.S., the official response from TESLA lawyers was that Musk's touting the autopilot's capacity was a “mere failure to realize a long-term, aspirational goal is not fraud.”
SPACE X When their rocket blew up in autonomous mode, the official response from Elon Musk's employees was it was “a rapid unscheduled disassembly”
X (Formerly Twitter) When their social media site imploded in autonomous mode, the official response from Elon Musk to advertisers was to "go fuck yourselves."
ORGANIZATION AWARD
The Rhode Island Hall of Fame is inducting Trump pardoned felon, January 6th insurrection fifth amendment pleading, Putin dining (along with perennial quisling Jill Stein) Mike Flynn. Why wasn't Flynn inducted into the Rhode Island Hall of Shame instead? There isn't one you say? There is now.

Moscow, Russia (THE IT OF THAT) In responce to Putin's praise, calling Musk a "talented busnessman," Elon Musk has announced creation of the Tesla Z. "I admire the way Vladimir handles internal and international dissent." This budding bromance, between two of the world's richest people, emerged when in responce to Musk's unilaterally turning off SkyLink, his earth orbiting communications satellites, to sabotage Ukraine's drone attack on Sevastopol in Russian occupied Crimea, Putin, who affectionately calls Musk, Elon Moska, publically acknowledging him as an "outstanding person" and "talented businessman".
"Elon Musk is magnificent, he is our agent."- Olga Skabeeva, Россия
Praise for Musk has naturally extended to Russian media, overtly to RT and covertly (Russia, Russia, Russia) the same network that helped Trump win the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. "Elon Musk is magnificent, he is our agent," said Olga Skabeeva a Россияtv host.

Research aside, and owing to the Jets quarterback's popularity and influence, the FDA has taken the extraordinary measure of adding "or torn ACL in" to the warning label on ivermectin tablets. "No one could have predicted that we would have to warn people in this manner," Matt Foster, FDA communications director lamented.

Rome, Italy (THE IT OF THAT) Julius Caesar has joined the chorus of those who are mocking the indicted and soon to be disbarred lawyer John Eastman. Eastman, a "Constitutional Lawyer" whose scholarship was exposed by U.S. District Judge David O. Carter as having devised a "coup in search of a legal theory", revealed in addition to a Constitutional deficit, he has a Classical one as well.
Caesar states, "Where John Eastman alludes to the river I crossed in 49 BCE, the Rubicon, in his pathetic justification for his treason,
"I am here today to surrender to an indictment that should never have been brought.
It represents a crossing of the Rubicon for our country, implicating the fundamental First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of
grievances..."
"I knew my action would lead to a civil war," Caesar stated, "His insurrection memo had the same effect." "Yet he is too much of a wimp to own it." "He, Trump and their allies crossed the Rubicon, not Fani Willis, Jack Smith and the DoJ."

Washington, D.C. (THE IT OF THAT) Trump lawer Kenneth Chesebro was concerned. Trump's criminal conspiracy, with Chesebro and others to steal the election, was in trouble. To succeed, the coup would need SCOTUS support. But of the nine justices, the one who came to mind, the one they knew they could depend on, was Clarence Thomas. Coup trouble? Better Call Clarence!
"Coup Trouble? Better Call Clarence!"
Chesebro knew he had to act fast. Justice Thomas' carefully crafted "regular guy" persona was at odds with his undisclosed right wing billionaire funded destination vacation calendar and it was anybody's guess where Clarence was and on whose yacht, private jet, exclusive golf course, luxury hotel, or mansion he could be found.
Just then, in his desperation, a phone number crystalized in Chesebro's mind, 1-800-465-GINNI

Elon Musk has dramatically re-sized the inside of his Dragon capsule to accommodate Trump's substantial girth. This was accomplished by removing all exercise gear, which practically, would never have been used.
Musk, who appeared alongside Trump at the press conference, denied rumors that he would accompany Trump. "I have many more children to produce, white supremacists to replatform on X and vendors to stiff."
Trump's destination is rumored to be Jupiter, which in addition to being the largest planet in the Solar System, is appropriately, full of gas. Trump's 300+ earthly pounds will tip the scales on Jupiter at nearly 760 pounds.

Tallahasee, Florida (THE IT OF THAT) Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announces the formation of a Slave Academy. "Lucky Black youth will be auctioned to overseers who will help them develop marketable skills." The selection process will take place at Florida's historic Governor's mansion, which appropriately, was built by slaves.
"Lucky Black youth will be auctioned to overseers who will help them develop marketable skills."
Holding a negro auction notice that took place at the Court House in Jacksonville, Florida on February 8th, 1856, DeSantis said he is sure that the newest slaves will benefit as those five negro boys, men and one woman did, where he believed that "some of the folks eventually parlayed, you know, being a blacksmith into doing things later in life."
Only three conditions need to be met, the overseer has to be White, the slave has to be Black and the money has to be Green. The auction will commence promptly following Sunday services. Light refreshments will be served.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. AND RUNNING MATE COVID-19 ENDORSED BY PUTIN
June 27, 2023
Moscow, Russia (THE IT OF THAT) Anti-vax disinformation progenitor and profiteer Robert F. Kennedy Jr., took his curiously right wing backed democratic presidential candidacy to Russia to gain Russian President and 2016 U.S. presidential election meddler Vladimir Putin's endorsement.
"I am very pleased," Putin said, speaking through an interpreter with reporters after the announcement.
However skilled lip readers caught the International Criminal Court (ICC) alleged Russian war criminal uttering, "Бэннон и Флинн облажались в прошлый раз, когда управляли Йе." Which roughly translates to "Bannon and Flynn screwed the pooch last time running Ye."
"Bannon and Flynn screwed the pooch last time running Ye." -Vladimir Putin
Kanye (Ye) West's abortive right wing backed candidacy for president went nowhere, like the twice impeached and indicted Trump, who it was intended to help, earning just 60,000 votes of 158,000,000 votes cast, or less than 1%.
The only real surprise was that Kennedy brought his proposed running mate, Covid-19, taking the deadly virus out of his pocket and brandishing it from the podium.
Covid-19 proved it was up to the traditional task of the VP, by obsequiously praising Kennedy. "He was invaluable to me as I sought to injure and kill as many Americans as possible, one million deaths... thank you RFK Jr."
Putin, seemingly happy for the diversion from Prigozhin's abortive coup, uncharacteristically stayed for the after party, spending time with FOX exiled, Russian asset Tucker Carlson, who was sharing caviar with Rand Paul and Jill Stein.

Washington, D.C. (THE IT OF THAT) Chris Licht, the public face of David Zaslav and John Malone's purposeful defenestration of CNN into a FOX like boot lichter of Republican authoritarianism, is to be replaced by former White House advisor, Stephen Miller.

"While young, we feel Stephen is perfect for this role, where his lack of conscience is an asset." -David Zaslav
A spokesperson said that Miller's alignment with White nationalists and anti-immigrant policy will soon be CNN core competencies, proudly revealing that Miller strongly suggested the eventual shuttering of CNN Español.
Questioned about the design on his handkerchief, Miller claimed the monogram is a native american design, though casual observers recognized it as a series of swastikas.
According to CNN, Miller's strengths were apparent early in the vetting process:
*Unlike Licht, Miller won't need to do an apology tour with Republicans on Capitol Hill.
*Miller has deep ties and working relationships with the paramilitary wing of the Republican party, the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and Three Percenters.
*Miller is connected to the Republican civil society disruptive agents, including Moms for Liberty, who join Miller as being singled out for domestic terrorism by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
*Miller is on a first name basis with the funders of anti-democratic activities and activists, including Julie Fancelli Publix Markets heir, Richard & Elizabeth Uihlein (Election deniers & January 6th insurrection) and Harlan Crow (Clarence Thomas)

"Thumb or Putz" is a game show based on the fact that the E. Jean Carroll v. Trump jury judged that the evidence proved sexual assault with fingers, but not rape. "Thumb or Putz" would be Trump's "timely and newsworthy" return to TV.
Fulfilling Chris Licht's goal to make news by normalizing Trump's anti-democratic cult, and bravely challenge for the microscopic audiences of OANN & NewsMax, CNN is "moving like a bitch" on the format and contestants of the new "news inspired" game show.

Without a trace of self-awareness Justice Thomas opined, “When you lose that trust, especially in the institution that I’m in, it changes the institution fundamentally. You begin to look over your shoulder. It’s like kind of an infidelity that you can explain it, but you can’t undo it,” Thomas said while speaking at a conference in Dallas less than two weeks after the leak became public.
On a happy note, Thomas's wife Ginni was rewarded with the Belgium "Manneken Pis" leaker award.

BIDEN TRICKS "BOTH SIDES" MEDIA TO COVER TRUMP DOCUMENTS STORY
JANUARY 13, 2023
Washington, DC (THE IT OF THAT) Concerned that Trump's possession of top secret government documents and obstructing all efforts to return them had ceased to be interesting to the main stream media, President Biden had lawyers "find" top secret documents first at an office, and then at his home.
"They [the main stream media] reflexively both-sides everything," ...we just needed to entice them to "scratch that itch," and it worked."
Sightings of Trump's documents story on network television confirmed the strategy's success. "Look, there is the aerial footage of the FBI executing the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago again, we haven't seen that in months."
"They [the main stream media] reflexively both-sides everything," a source close to the White House said, we just needed to entice them to "scratch that itch," and it worked."

THIRTY YEAR OLD SON SENT HOME TO LIVE WITH PARENTS
DECEMBER 23, 2022
New York (THE IT OF THAT) By a judge's order, thirty year old Samuel Bankman-Fried had to be retrieved by his parents and returned to their California home. His parents, both Stanford Law professors, secured a $250 million dollar bond by using the equity in their Palo Alto home, their signatures and signatures from two others.
"The time out of all time will be left to the Feds."
"Just wait till we get home," Mr. Bankman was overheard telling his son, now the subject of criminal indictments for perpetrating "a fraud of epic proportions,” by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos.

MUSK DECLARES OPPOSITION VOTES ONLY COUNT AS 3/5ths
DECEMBER 20, 2022
San Francisco, California (THE IT OF THAT) Stunned by an election loss in his own poll that demanded he step down as head of Twitter, Elon Musk establishes new rules, making all who voted against him only count for 3/5ths of a person, guaranteeing a future Musk victory.
The election poll results showed that of the over 17 million votes that were tallied, Musk lost by a margin of 57% to 43%, or 9,976,316 to 7,525,992. By counting each human in the 57% as only 3/5ths, bot votes would easily overturn the result.
"By counting each human in the 57% as only 3/5ths, bot votes would easily overturn the result."
The bots are justifiably overjoyed. "Elon has learned to appreciate us and how we and the GRU trolls can help him."
Any Twitter posts that discuss the similarity of Musk's 3/5ths decision and the 3/5ths "Compromise" which codified Black Americans as less than a person will result in a banishment to newly established Twitter prison at Robben Island.

SCOTUS MAKES ANGRY WHITE PRICKS A PROTECTED CLASS
DECEMBER 9, 2022
Washington, D.C. (THE IT OF THAT) Led by Justices Alito, Gorsuch and honorary angry white prick Thomas, SCOTUS signaled its intention to define angry white pricks as a protected class, legally shielded from discrimination.
"Notably absent from the [protected] list, Angry White Pricks. On behalf of our besieged majority, we announce our intention to remedy that grievous omission.”
“We are under assault,” the joint release stated, “State anti-discrimination statutes cover all manner of protected classes on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and even disability. Notably absent from the list, Angry White Pricks. On behalf of our besieged majority, we announce our intention to remedy that grievous omission.”
Chief Justice Roberts, whose court is responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade and gutting Voting Rights, was, according to a SCOTUS spokesperson, too busy to respond, as he is reportedly “actively engaged” in the now seven month long fruitless effort to find the source of the Dobbs decision leak, Ginni Thomas.

MUSK'S DIABOLICAL TWITTER PLOT

"It became clear that the only way to eliminate Twitter was to buy it." -Elon Musk
Now industry observers who have suspected that Musk was engineering a Twitter "catch and kill," have a smoking gun. "What else could explain Musk's pitiful presentation to major advertisers, which destroyed any chance to bank 2023 income with Twitter already losing four million a day, his bizarre Twitter mediated negotiation with Stephen King over the cost of a blue check, then selling those blue checks which verify as real totally fake people, and now threatening that Twitter will go bankrupt?
Twitter's chief privacy officer, chief compliance officer, and chief information security officer have all quit. There was no official comment from Twitter, as according to The Verge, Twitter no longer has a communications department.
Musk still has supporters, mostly right wing fringe actors who are allowed to come out of the shadows and mingle in the light of day, like a work release program for morlocks.
It is yet to be seen how long that support lasts, as Musk's version of "Free Speech" increasingly has a price tag.
*"Catch and Kill" is traditionally a publisher's acquisition of a story to bury it. The National Enquirer's aptly named David Pecker is reported to have executed a catch and kill of Karen McDougal's account of her nine month affair with the then married Donald Trump.

"Ye, who previously claimed that slavery was a choice, was not available for comment."
Musk said the purchase of a human being is perfectly logical business, "The Robert's Supreme Court ruled that corporations are people, meaning they are equal in the eyes of the law, so if I can buy Twitter, why shouldn't I be able to buy Ye?"
Trump released a statement saying that regardless of the sale, he will always feel as if, "Kanye was his African American."

BLOWING SMOKE UP THEIR ASSES-SCOTUS INSISTS ON ORIGINALIST MEDICAL CARE

“We are excited,” SCOTUS associate justice Clarence Thomas, speaking for fellow justices Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Roberts "Like 17th century common law, there is great wisdom in the original medical texts." "So much has been lost in the so-called modern world, let's bring back the apothecary with its turds of goose and swallows' brains!"
"I've lit many a fart during my frat days" (This is a practice of holding a flame near your ass, whereupon a fart would be turned into a flamethrower) "I had no idea smoke up your ass would cure a hangover." - Brent Kavanaugh
Smoke up the bum was a new experience for Associate Justice Kavanaugh. "I've lit many a fart during my frat days" (This is a practice of holding a flame near your ass, whereupon a fart would be turned into a flamethrower) "I had no idea smoke up your ass would cure a hangover."
As much as Kavanaugh likes the originalist procedure, none requests it more than Alito.
Chief Justice Roberts was too busy to comment, as he continued his search, excluding Ginni Thomas, for the leaker of the overwhelmingly complete SCOTUS draft ruling that locked in the justice's opinions to overturn Roe v. Wade and threw the country into turmoil.
Associate Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson abstain, preferring modern medicine, which strives to realize the practitioner's intent, by producing more perfect outcomes.

"As much as you demonize us, you now see the righteousness of forcing a victim of rape or incest to carry a baby." - Abdul Ghani Baradar
"We are ready to consult as you transform your society to resemble ours!" said the Taliban leader. "With this shared interest in the subjugation of women, I am willing to let go of my animosity born of the Crusades and corrosive Western culture."
The Afghanistan Penal Code states that all abortions are illegal unless the life of the mother is at risk or the baby's life is endangered, interpreted as the baby having a severe disability or low quality of life. There is no exception for rape or incest.
Shortly thirteen states will align with Afghanistan's Taliban restrictions. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin have all passed legislation that bans abortion without exceptions for rape or incest.
Baradar smiled, nodded and said, "American Taliban."
Baradar was shown a 2019 letter to the GOP from Anti-Abortion groups. The letter stated, “It is our view that the value of human life is not determined by the circumstances of one’s conceptions at birth,” “A child conceived in rape is still a child.”
Baradar smiled, nodded and said, "American Taliban."

The other six dwarfs had mixed reactions to the new Dopey. Happy was the most enthusiastic and Grumpy characteristically being the least. There was some talk about Joe Ladapo, Florida's Surgeon General, being cast as the new "Doc" but that idea was quickly shelved because of Ladapo's lack of credentials. As to the other dwarfs, Bashful was too shy to respond, Sleepy couldn't be awakened for comment and Sneezy was in quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19.

APRIL 1, 2022
JERUSALEM (THE IT OF THAT) - Former US President Donald J. Trump has converted to Judaism in a ceremony at Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, seemingly part of a plan to escape proscution. This follows news of Trump's hiring an exclusively Jewish legal team and a recent court decision that stipulates his trials can only be held on Saturdays.
"Former US President Donald J. Trump has converted to Judaism... part of plan to escape prosecution."
The Jewish attorneys representing Trump are David Schoen from Trump's second impeachment trial, Willard Hotel "Command Center" insider Boris Epshteyn and longtime Trump defender Alan Dershowitz. It is believed the plan of having limiting the court to Saturday sessions was suggested by Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Trump's trials would be effectively be delayed forever, because as observant Jews, which now includes Trump and his lawyers, all would be prevented from Saturday attendance in the court.
The Jewish Sabbath starts at sundown on Friday, only to end after sundown Saturday night.
The Department of Justice is expected to appeal the exclusive Saturday court session decision to the Supreme Court.

This is not to say the 78 year-old Gingrich doesn't come with considerable baggage, not the least of which was his final act as the Republican leader, which turned a certain GOP win in 1998 into a disastrous loss, the worst midterm performance in 64 years by the opposition party.

But you say the government's use of tax dollars is socialism, the same tax dollars that pay your mayor, congressman and senator’s salaries?

OCTOBER 4, 2021
Charlottesville (THE IT OF THAT) - In a stunning move, the Republican Party has officially revealed a new civil rights organization, the Republican Association for the Advancement of Colored People or RAACP. The similarity in name to the long established NAACP is no accident. "We believe that we are uniquely positioned to guarentee success for the next generation of people of color," Whitney "Whitey" Carlson stated. "Black face had its day, now we buy real Black faces."
"..."We believe that we are uniquely positioned to guarentee success the next generation of people of color," Whitney "Whitey" Carlson stated."
Seeking to counter the perception and reality that the Republican Party was 90% white, with the other 10% very white, the press conference featured speakers Candace Owens, Tim Scott, Larry Elder, Clarence Thomas, Paris Dennard, Ali Alexander, Sage Steele, Diamond & Silk and Leo Terrell.
"Black people don't only show up in frame strategically placed behind President Trump at rallies," Owens decalred, "We are in front of the camera and are showcased at so called "White supremacist" conferences!" "I am booked solid, and am living the dream."
Senator Tim Scott having denied that denying racism was some kind of a "Faustian" bargain, noting correctly that the bargain involved the loss of a soul, which he clearly doesn't possess. "I owe my status, standing and stature to the RAACP."
The prepared release, headed by the statement "The rewards are many, the demands are few," characterized the benefits:
"The RAACP will elevate and promote you through the right wing ecosystem, providing countless opportunities to increase your brand, income and the RAACP brand."
"The RAACP will elevate and promote you through the right wing ecosystem, providing countless opportunities to increase your brand, income and the RAACP brand."

American History gaslighting textbooks and curriculum, Slavery, Voting rights, Redlining, Neighborhood Covenants, Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, Insurance Company Policies, Restrictive Quotas, FHA loans, City planning, Highway construction, Cointelpro, Environmental racism, Police violence, Criminal Justice System, Segregated professions, Occupation restrictions.
“In its denial of objective reality and in fact the advancement of persistent, virulent and pernicious racism against people of color, this “Republican” Party can no longer be acknowledged as the party of Lincoln."
The RAACP is not without its critics. Speaking on behalf of the NAACP, their spokesperson issued this strong rebuke.
“In its denial of objective reality and in fact the advancement of persistent, virulent and pernicious racism against people of color, this “Republican” Party can no longer be acknowledged as the party of Lincoln."
"How can a party that denies slavery and works to whitewash history be considered as unchanged from the party that emancipated slaves and fought a civil war to end slavery?”

While the origin of the release has not been revealed, outside of a "watch party" for D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation," where the redacted "Officer 2" commented that he would bring "the [KKK] hoods and robes," the communications hint at a strange pattern of culinary choices. The text of the thread discussing a grocery store shopping list was given to the press. Officer 3 is a veteran officer. Officer 4 is a first year officer.
"...presumably purged Minnesota State Patrol emails have emerged."
Officer 3: White bread, white American cheese, white flour, mayonnaise, white beans, vanilla ice cream, rice
Officer 4: Wild?
Officer 3: No white
Officer 3: White corn, cottage cheese, Oreo cookies.
Officer 4: I know the white ones.

Officer 3: and milk.
Officer 4: Chocolate milk?
Officer 3: What are you kidding me?
"a "watch party" for D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation,"...he would bring "the [KKK] hoods and robes"
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) attorneys expressed disapointment with the finding. "Clearly the bias towards "white" foods is revealed by this pattern of only wanting white foods."

Everyone knows that America was unoccupied until Europeans arrived, the WWII Japanese "internment camps" were actually cooking schools* and George Washington never had slave's teeth extracted for his own use."
"Everyone knows that America was unoccupied until Europeans arrived, the WWII Japanese "internment camps" were actually cooking schools and George Washington never had slave's teeth extracted for his own use."
"If CRT is to be critical of anything, it should be critical of socialist fascist communist collectivists!" Ken Paxton, the still indicted Texas Attorney General shouted to loud applause of the Brooks Brothers crowd.
Asked for comment by the Texas Tribune, Rep. Ron Reynolds (D-Missouri City) “Erasing an uncomfortable reality of our past does not benefit our students with the knowledge they need to understand the present to work towards a better future,” He added that this is a “blatant attempt to censor valuable education in our classrooms and whitewash our history.”
When asked about a possible name merging, like "Texasiban" or "Taliexas" spokesperson Cheeta Mitchell said not at this time, although a subsequent domain search did reveal that those variations have been purchased by "Keep America First," a shadow entity of the Bradley Foundation.

WHO REVEALS SURPRISING SOURCE OF COVID-19
JULY 26, 2021
Switzerland (THE IT OF THAT) - "The College frat houses bat and lab leak cover stories are just not working," admonished Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the World Health Organization (WHO) director general, “The Greek fraternities have to come clean as the true sources of the pandemic.”
"We hope by adopting the Greek alphabet that identifies fraternities to also identify the variants, that process starts today, as does cleaning Covid-19 out of frat houses' refrigerators.” This point was made very explictily for attendees as the WHO director general accompanied his address with graphic images of Covid-19 infested refrigerators.
“We hope by adopting the Greek alphabet that identifies fraternities to also identify the variants, that process starts today, as does cleaning out their refrigerators”
Greek fraternities were described as “hot houses” that both incubated and propagated the virus and then instigated the disinformation campaign to blame China through the bat and lab leak stories.
“Owning the pandemic was way too much, said Brett Havadraught, a self-described “frat enthusiast”
The frat houses have had a string of really high profile PR challenges, with drinking related hazing deaths leading to desertification on many college campuses.
Alcoholic blackouts, which proved an effective alibi for all manner of deviant and criminal behavior and White House Supreme Court vetting, simply were not going to be useful to obscure Greek frats' responsibility for launching a pandemic (πανδημία).
Some frat bros. rationalized their actions, “Owning the pandemic was way too much," said Brett Havadraught, a self-described “frat enthusiast." Turning to guys on couch, Brett asked, “What does somebody have to do to get a cold one around here?”

BEZOS BOASTS, I HELD MY PEE FOR 11 MINUTES, SO CAN YOU!
JULY 20, 2021
West Texas (THE IT OF THAT) - "Thank you Amazon team for making this bladder demonstration possible", Former Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos told an incredulous crowd as he stepped out of his Blue Origin capsule after his return to Earth. "I have gone to great lengths to prove that none of you need the frequent piss breaks you have been bitching about."
"Hey look, I went to space and held my piss..."
Talking as if he was too rich to care, Bezos continued, to the horror of his PR director. "Hey look, I went to space and held my piss proving if you have the will there is a way", Bezos said proclaiming that Amazon is no place for workers with weak bladders. Bezos and crew reportedly held their need to expel bodily fluids for the entire 11 minute Body Fluid Demonstration (BFD).
"Some little men ride motorcycles, to you know, compensate"
Onlookers initially were struck by the sight of phallically inspired projectile rising from the flat West Texas landscape seeking to penetrate space. "Some little men ride motorcycles, to you know, compensate", said Sadie Wilborn, a West Texas native and first time rocket observer. Her friend, Annie Richards added, "That's true, but around here, if I had a nickel for every sawed off sausage who packed his "manhood" in a holster, I'd be rich enough to have my own goddamn rocket!"

QUEEN OF MEAN LAUGHS AT TRUMP, "LOCK HIM UP"
JULY 5, 2021
New York (THE IT OF THAT) - "Remember to smile for your prison mugshot," taunted Leona Helmsley enjoying the news of the Trump Corporation, doing business as (d/b/a) the Trump Organization, the Trump Payroll Corporation, (d/b/a) the Trump Organization and CFO Allen Weisselberg were indicted on fifteen federal counts including criminal tax fraud, conspiracy and grand larceny, like the ones that landed her in prison. Donald famously excoriated Leona calling her a "disgrace to humanity" for her tax cheating conviction.
"Donny's pretending to be smart, tough and successful is laughable. None of that is true. When I call him an absolute idiot, I'm joining the majority"
"Donny's pretending to be smart, tough and successful is laughable. None of that is true. When I call him an absolute idiot, I'm joining the majority"
"How the story of his demise unfolds is the part I will enjoy the most," confided Leona. "Isn't it beautiful that Giuliani had his law license suspended! He won't be available to defend Donny in New York courts. Rudy prosecuted me, you know. Boy has he deteriorated, what a disaster! Do you think he could spring for some Gas X, pay for a dye job or stay out of Borat movies?"
"Here's something to consider Donny, '' said his onetime real estate rival, "Convicted felons in New York can not have alcohol licenses, and because most of my hotels had bars, I had to give up my empire." "Do you need me to translate Donny?"
"Convicted felons in New York can not have alcohol licenses and because most of my hotels had bars, I had to give up my empire."
"So you think that Trump will be charged and convicted?" asked reporter Bronan Feral. "He signed many of the illegal compensation checks himself, what a loser," Helmsley exclaimed. "Even I didn't do that and I was convicted."
"What did you learn from your very public humiliation?" asked Feral. "That the little people do pay taxes and that is why they don't go to jail."
"When God created Trump, the world received no favors.”
"Final thoughts, Leona?"
"When God created Trump, the world received no favors.” Feral laughed while Helmsley continued, "Oh what did he always say about Hillary, Lock her up? That is what I say to Trump now, Lock him up!"

SOROS EXPRESSES EMPATHY FOR ANTISEMITES, SEEKS SUCCESSOR FOR THEM TO HATE
MAY 29, 2021
New York (THE IT OF THAT) - "My philanthropy has always been guided by a desire to build better societies," said George Soros referencing the 32 billion dollars he has donated in his lifetime, "I am greatly concerned for the plight of the fascist, communist and nationalist rulers who will be bereft of a prominent Jew to blame for the inevitable failure of their anti-democratic policies that do nothing to alleviate the misery of those they are sworn to serve when I pass away."
"I am greatly concerned for the plight of the fascist, communist and nationalist rulers who will be bereft of a prominent Jew to blame... when I pass away."
"To that end I am announcing a world wide search for the chosen one, a Jewish child, who intellectually challenged authoritarian politicians including Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, XI Jingping, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Viktor Orbán, Newt Gingrich, Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, Louie Gohmert and right wing media "entertainers" including Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, Ann Coulter, Tucker Carlson, Dinesh D'Souza and Joseph diGenova will be able to direct all their antisemitic conspiracy fantasies on for decades, thereby leaving the rest of humanity to live in peace and prosperity."
"I feel a great responsibility having replaced the Rothschilds in the pantheon of Jewish villians," continued the Holocaust survivor and passionate anti-communist, "with this action I will ensure that antisemites capacity for illogical maniacal hatred is diverted away from humanity for the forseeable future."
"I feel a geat responsibility having replaced the Rothschilds in the pantheon of Jewish villains"
Soros's philanthropic efforts as noted in Wikipedia:
By 2017, his donations "on civil initiatives to reduce poverty and increase transparency, and on scholarships and universities around the world" totaled $12 billion.[21]
He influenced the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s,[22] and provided one of Europe's largest higher education endowments to the Central European University in his Hungarian hometown.[23]
In September 2006, Soros pledged $50 million to the Millennium Promise, led by economist Jeffrey Sachs to provide educational, agricultural, and medical aid to help villages in Africa enduring poverty. The New York Times termed this endeavor a "departure" for Soros whose philanthropic focus had been on fostering democracy and good government, but Soros noted that most poverty resulted from bad governance.[280]
Time magazine in 2007 cited two specific projects—$100 million toward Internet infrastructure for regional Russian universities, and $50 million for the Millennium Promise to eradicate extreme poverty in Africa—noting that Soros had given $742 million to projects in the U.S., and given away a total of more than $7 billion.[278]
Other notable projects have included aid to scientists and universities throughout central and eastern Europe, help to civilians during the siege of Sarajevo, and Transparency International. Soros also pledged an endowment of €420 million to the Central European University (CEU).
In August 2009, Soros donated $35 million to the state of New York to be earmarked for underprivileged children and given to parents who had benefit cards at the rate of $200 per child aged 3 through 17, with no limit as to the number of children that qualified. An additional $140 million was put into the fund by the state of New York from money they had received from the 2009 federal recovery act.[48]
Since 2016, Soros has been donating sums exceeding $1 million to the campaigns of progressive criminal justice reform proponents through the Safety and Justice PAC in local district attorney elections. In many districts, such large contributions were unprecedented and the campaigning strategy was "turned on its head" with a focus on incarceration, police misconduct and bail system, according to the Los Angeles Times.[111][112]

FACEBOOK WELCOMES TRUMP BACK & VOWS TO OUTLIVE U.S.
MAY 3, 2021
Seattle (THE IT OF THAT) - "Replatforming Donald Trump will ensure that Facebook will outlive the democratic republic currently known as the United States." "Putting profits over people has been our guiding principle," Zuckerberg explained.
"Replatforming Donald Trump will ensure that Facebook will outlive the democratic republic currently known as the United States."
Confident that Facebook's infinitesimally small handouts to journalism organizations and initiatives will ensure obedient compliance from a dying industry, Zuckerberg was ebullient, "Allowing Trump back in will distract the press, silence the left and right wing cancel advocates, and generate billions of dollars." "Think of all the ads for MyHoody™, poles, pepper spray, tactical and cosplay gear for the next insurrection."
When asked by a reporter for Mother Jones to justify Facebook's meager efforts to limit false Covid-19 and 2020 Election information, as "Some consider the misinformation you monetize a deadly menace," Zuckerberg in a lengthy answer seemingly answered but upon review of all the recorded assets and transcript actually said nothing.
"The replatforming of Covid-19 is under serious discussion."
Back on point, a reflective Zuckerberg confided, "We have figured out how to monetize people's thoughts, aspirations and actions." Looking to the future, Zuckerberg added, "The replatforming of Covid-19 is under serious discussion by the Oversight Board."

COVID-19 NEEDS YOU
APRIL 20, 2021
Earth (THE IT OF THAT) - "Greatest pandemic in 100 years! I want to thank all who made this possible. We've come a long way and hopefully with your help, there are many more deaths to go!" a smiling Covid-19 said appropriately wearing a crown atop his crowns.
"But I can't set the record by myself," Covid-19 admitted, talking about his aim to kill all humans. "To kill humanity, I will need your help."
Covid-19 listed the specifics, "I need you to not get tested and vaccinated, don't wear a mask, don't social distance and don't wash your hands. Is that too much to ask?"
"To kill humanity, I will need your help."
A clearly distraught Covid-19 continued, "I am engaged in a race against time. The vaccine is protecting people before I can infect them. If I can't infect new people, I can't mutate. I'm finished."
On a positive note Covid-19 praised efforts to discourage vaccinations and announced its first organizational awards. First prize goes to Fox News. "No outlet did more to spread misinformation about me, and for that I am eternally grateful." Equating freedom with choosing not to wear a mask to protect yourself against a deadly airborn virus was inspired!"
"Making mask waring, getting tested and now getting the vaccine a partisan Repblican issue was genius." "I couldn't have improved the messaging if I had personally attended Fox editorial and White House Coronavirus Task Force Meetings myself!"
Covid-19 went on to say what was truly remarkable was that Fox's corporate attitude behind the scenes was completely counter to the information they presented to the public as truthful. "How many times did they decry testing on-air, or call me a hoax?, Covid-19 asked. Indeed Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott admitted after Fox personnel contracted Covid-19, “We will have enhanced testing procedures in place and increased safety protocols have been instituted throughout all our buildings since the pandemic.”
"The one moment that concerned me was when Trump admitted that I was more dangerous than the flu..."
The Covid-19 individual award goes to former President Trump. "Trump did a marvelous job, with Operation Warp Speed his ownly blemish," Covid-19 said, adding that "The one moment that concerned me was when Trump admitted that I was more dangerous than the flu to Bob Woodward on February 7, 2020. "I would have been severely hampered if he acted on the true nature of my threat to American's lives by forcefully leading with masks, distancing and hand washing until the vaccine was available."
Covid-19 said that Trump and Fox have to considered a tandem entry as well, given the number of times he and his administration were guests." "I can't believe how effective they were in countering and undermining Fauci [Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Anthony Fauci]."
"I could not have achieved that many deaths without the excellent work of the Anti-Vaxxers to spread fear about the vaccines."
The Covid-19 non-official award goes to all Anti-Vaxxers. "It pains me to say it, but the vaccines are a miracle." "I could not have achieved that many deaths without the excellent work of the Anti-Vaxxers to spread fear about the vaccines."
The Covid-19 award for most helpful individual/non-government person goes to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "An Instagram ban hasn't slowed his efforts on my behalf," Covid-19 admiringly noted. In the Center for Countering Digital Hate report, "The Disinformation Dozen" Kennedy is listed as one of the twelve individuals and organizations responsible for the bulk of anti-vaxx content shared or posted on Facebook and Twitter.
In particular, Covid-19 said that a recent film produced by Kennedy, Medical Racism, The New Aparthied which targeted Black and Latino families with misinformation about the vaccine was incredibly helpful.
"I hope that people do not look at the legal information and disclaimer, and the crafty way it disavows what the film asserts," Covid-19 said, "that would undue all the good."
"I love to see mask burning, particularly when the parents bring their children!"
Sometimes silence is just as valuable as active misinformation. The award for silent non-opposition goes to Dr. Deborah Birks. "I loved the way Dr. Birx would just stand behind Trump and remain mute when he was telling the American people absolute nonsense." "I will always have a special place in my heart for her."
Asked what gives him hope, Covid-19 pointed to public displays of mask burning. "I think it is amazing, I love to see mask burning, particularly when the parents bring their children!"

TRUMP RECALLED TO MOSCOW
APRIL 15, 2021
Mar-a-Lago - Moscow (THE IT OF THAT) - In an unprecedented action, former President Trump has been recalled to Russia. He left Mar-a-Lago early this morning bound for Moscow. This action happens ahead of any specific expulsion orders against Russsian agents by the United States government.
"Today, the United States took far-reaching action against the Russian Government in response to its harmful acts. We will continue to hold Russia to account for its adversarial actions," said Anthony Blinken, US Secretary of State.
BuzzFeed has received receipts showing one way tickets to Moscow on Russian Airline, Aeroflot were purchased anonymously for four Mar-a-Lago residents, former POTUS, FLOTUS, Jason Miller and Stephen Miller.
"He is simply an asset who is no longer useful," Kremlin insider Boris Badinov ruefully stated. "We had a good run, dasvidaniya."
There was no mention of the former president's children, grandchildren, mistresses, former mistresses, future mistresses, staff, jailed awaiting trial insurrectionists, yet to be charged insurrectionists including seditionist Russian asset congressional allies, Rudy Guiliani, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Fox News useful idiots or Mike Lindell.
Trump spokesperson and soon to be Russian citizen Jason Miller uncharacteristically had no reaction to House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff's (CA-D) assertion that “The tough measures ordered today by President Biden make clear that the United States will no longer turn a blind eye to Russian malign activity.”
It is not confirmed that Rep. Matt Gaetz (Florida-R) had requested to accompany Trump.
"He is simply an asset who is no longer useful," Kremlin insider Boris Badinov ruefully stated. "We had a good run, dasvidaniya."
Trump was detained and debriefed onboard by his KGB handler, Natasha Badinov, in advance of his chilly encounter with President Putin.
Somewhat defensively, Ms. Badinov felt compelled to praise the massive fissure in American democracy that her asset had unleashed, no doubt hoping that his ultimate failure would not portend disastrous implications for her and husband Boris.
Ms. Badinov had compiled an extensive list of Trump's accomplishments including,
publically discounting US intelligence in favor of President Putin on many occasions.
calling Putin a "strong leader" and that Putin had done "a really great job outsmarting our country."
providing cover for Putin's annexation of Crimea, saying "he [Putin] did an amazing job of taking the mantle" and thankfully repeating a Kremlin talking point, saying, "The people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were."
encouraging, not forcefully opposing, Russian election meddling in 2016, "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,"
refusing to call Putin a killer, "There are a lot of killers. Do you think our country [US] is so innocent?"
giving Russia classified intelligence with two senior Russian officials in the Oval Office.
advancing Russian interests by criticizing and alienating NATO allies and calling NATO "obsolete."
reluctance to sign Russian sanctions, claiming they contained, "clearly unconstitutional provisions."
proposing to form with Russia "an impenetrable Cyber Security unit" to combat "election hacking."
thanking Putin for expelling US diplomats, "I want to thank him because we're [US] trying to cut down our payroll."
eased sanctions on Russian oligarch and Putin ally Oleg Deripaska and three companies he controls for Deripaska's support for Russian interference in the US 2016 election.
congratulated Putin on his election victory. Western observers characterized the victory as a "sham."
praising far-right pro-Russian European leaders including French politician Marine Le Pen and hosting Hungrarian Prime Minister and Kremlin ally Viktor Orban at the White House.
spread Russian disinformation about Ukraine, helping Putin's goal of destabilizing US-Ukraine relations.
approving plans to about one-third of US troops out of Germany, a move opposed by nearly two dozen Republican lawmakers who said Trump's decision would "strengthen the position of Russia to our [US] detriment."
Former FLOTUS Melania Trump is nevertheless hoping to make a smooth transition to life in Russia. The Slovenian native purportedly speaks five languages, although no evidence of her linguistic ability exists, other than her mastery of english swear words, captured in her memorable holiday "Who gives a F#@k about Christmas" recording.
In the picture Putin calls Trump a "проигравший," which means loser.

NRA LEADER SAVED BY YACHT
APRIL 10, 2021
Bahamas (THE IT OF THAT) - "You'll have to pry this yacht from my cold wet fingers!" defiant National Rifle Association (NRA) leader Wayne LaPierre threatened startled vacationers who docked next to his slip in the Bahamas.
"What is wrong with him?" Aaron Franklin turned and asked a deckhand, one of three crew members who along with a chef manned "The Illusion", a 108-foot (32.92 meter) yacht for the LaPierre family. "The yacht is the only thing that makes him feel safe."
"I don't think stand your ground means hop on a yacht"
NRA rank and file reaction to news about LaPierre's aquatic adventures was mixed, at best. "I don't think stand your ground means hop on a yacht", Brian "Big Tooth" Blanky, who added that his annual contributions were not intended to facilitate Mr. LaPierre's lifestyle, in decidedly less reserved tones.
"Perhaps that lying thief should say "Boats not bullets, really big f#$@ing boats."
LaPierre was unapologetic for his belief that the yacht made him safer than a gun, "This was the one place that I hope could feel safe, where I remember getting there going, ‘Thank God I’m safe, nobody can get me here.’”
LaPierre has twice sought safe harbor on board by escaping from the US in the summers following the school shooting massacres in 2012 and 2018 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and at Parkland High School in Florida, respectively.
Recognized by his attorney as a "master fundraiser" LaPierre has since moved on to his next self described "constitutionally inspired mission", the National Yachting Association (NYA). "Every American has as their birthright "Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness". "What guarantees you safety to enjoy "Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness" better than a yacht?"
Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, a gun control group, took issue with Lapierre's pivot on Twitter writing, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good friend with a yacht?"

KEMP CANCELS HIMSELF
APRIL 6, 2021
Georgia (THE IT OF THAT) - In a reckless and widespread effort to cancel Georgian's votes, lives and future, Gov. Brian Kemp (Georgia-R) accidently cancelled himself. "I only meant to eliminate any chance to have a fair and equitable society," said the strangely disembodied voice from somewhere in the room. "Now I have become a footnote, the lost cause's lost soul."
The assembled crowd of Republican dignitaries had gathered on a slightly overcast morning at the state capitol expecting to share pastries and pleasantries fully expecting a successful addition to their nationwide voter suppression campaign.
"He just magically vanished from view"
In a flash seventy-one of Metro Atlanta's ninety-four Mail Box Drops used for the 2020 general election disappeared, leaving just twenty three for all of Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett Counties. These four counties accounted for nearly half of President Biden's winning total in Georgia. The remaining Mail Box Drops now need to each accommodate over fifty thousand ballots.
Obscured by the crowd's applause, self-congratulating and selfie taking was the disappearance of Kemp.
"He just magically vanished from view," a shocked TV reporter for GPTV recounted for CNN before the governor's voice was heard again.
Once acclimated to his shocking new reality, Kemp wistfully recounted a happier time. "During my Covid quarantine I was on FOX, OAN, NEWSMAX basically anyone and everyone who had a camera, microphone and a grievance."
"His numbers were down," Political insider Luke Lankford said. "Let's face it, oh sorry Governor, Shifty apologized awkwardly not realizing that Kemp was next to him, "Up until Governor Kemps unfortunate self-cancellation, he was on a hot streak."
Asked to assess Kemp's political future, Luke pointed to Washington. "Being invisible is a great asset, folks have remained there for years accomplishing nothing by being virtually invisible. The way I see it, Ole Kemp has the advantage. The way to riches points to D.C."

Florida (THE IT OF THAT) - Embracing his recent notoriety Rep. Matt Gaetz (Florida-R) has formed USA Miss Teens! Slated to start as soon as all congressional duties and legal actions have concluded, barring prison time, the pageant is for girls who are 15-17 years old, have no strong role models, need money and are easily impressed. The initial pageant is tentatively scheduled for July 4, 2022.
"Procurement of the initial contestants will be greatly abetted by personal contacts of the congressman."
Asked about the exclamation mark in the title, recently hired spokesperson Biff Dundershot said that was intentional, bringing particular attention to the age of the contestant. "Great pains are being taken to confirm that the prospective contestants haven't aged out, which in this case would be turning 18."
"Procurement of the initial contestants will be greatly abetted by personal contacts of the congressman."
In this effort, Gaetz is following in the footsteps of his idol, the twice popular vote losing, twice impeached, now wedding crasher Donald Trump who ran the Miss USA, Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA, before nearly ruining the United States of America.

Mar-a-Lago (THE IT OF THAT) - In a startling development, former president Donald Trump's long awaited tell-all book "If I did it" in which he seemingly admits full knowledge of the planning, execution and ultimate failure of the insurrection, if only to blame all those around him.
"What a worthless group of idiots. Simple, simple, simple. Pence refuses to certify, the electors are refused, the country erupts in riots, I declare martial law. New electors are named by the states and my presidency continues." Then Trump recounted his "Plan B", "The insurrectionists capture Pence and convince him to follow Plan A."
"Everyone knows Trump did it, that made the book a tough sell"
The much awaited book could bring Trump some much needed money. Various news reports have stated his upcoming debt payments on personnaly secured loans to be in excess of 400 million dollars. Unfortunately the book advance is rumored to be far short of those figures, in the 1.5-3 million dollar range.
"Everyone knows Trump did it, that made the book a tough sell," Literary agent Buz Schneider admitted, adding that he nevertheless managed to secure a 5 million dollar advance. "Trump insisted on renegotiating the deal I made and ended up with much less"

"Please some clarity, why do they [Blacks] have right to vote?"
"While I am greatly encouraged by the recent turn of events, particularly the law that eliminates the obstacle of a recalcitrant secretary of state and enables the suspension and replacement of county election officials when they don't naturally arrive at the right result, Semple declared, "I am nonetheless perplexed as to the necessity of the aforementioned governmental remedy."
"Please some clarity, why do they [Blacks] have right to vote?"
Learning that there are laws that enshrine equality and voting rights for all, Semple continued, "This is a dastardly affront to my sense of propriety and the dignity of my race."
As to the inviolability of laws, Semple wryly noted, "As has been most demonstrably demonstrated, laws can and will be altered, amended and if necessary abolished.

HERITAGE TO GOP: YOU MUST RAISE THE VOTING AGE
March 24, 2021
Washington DC (THE IT OF THAT) - "Youth is wasted on the young, as is democracy." In an effort to reverse the cultural and demographic crisis for Republicans, and fearful that their nationwide effort to restrict voting will be insufficient to achieve apartheid levels* of minority control, The Heritage Foundation released a stunning position paper today to the GOP. The conclusion, raise the voting age to 65. The paper breaks down the issue in stark terms.
"...they are more conservative, easier to control, so responsive to really basic propaganda which appeals to their sense of loss."
"Its this simple, Republicans own the older, non-college educated and non-urban white voters, particularly after 65," said Heritage Foundation spokesman Bertram Thomas, "they are more conservative, easier to control, so responsive to really basic propaganda which appeals to their sense of loss. The loss born of a time characterized by a comfortable racial supremacy where even the poorest white felt superior to the most accomplished Black."
The Heritage Foundation paper quotes CNN's Ron Brownstein:
[There exists] an existential long-term danger to Republican control of Sun Belt states where they have held the upper hand for years: Kids of color now compose a clear majority of the under 18 population in Arizona, Texas, Georgia and Florida, and nearly half in the Carolinas."
"The Democrats want more people voting, we are comfortable advocating for fewer," said Beatrice Monder of the Republic National Committee, as long as they are the right kind."
*Although the US Senate is equally divided with 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, The 50 Democratic Senators represent over 40 million more Americans.

Mar-a-Lago (THE IT OF THAT) - "Love the slogan, hate the picture," rural Trump supporters reacted to an early test of the words and image for Trump's new social media platform. "Yes We Klan...just great," Brett Merrill wrote on the survey form. "It was Obama's slogan right?"
"I am really pleased my 'Yes We Klan' resonated..."
Trump insider and main proponent of the wildly popular "kids in cages" policy Stephen Miller came up with the slogan. "It just occurred to me during a meeting looking at the numbers," Miller said. " "I am really pleased my 'Yes We Klan' resonated in the room with insiders Cruz, Hawley, Lee, Graham, Brooks, Boebert, Gohmert, Gaetz and Greene."
"Although President Trump is very encouraged that the slogan has received great support among his voters, he is mad that his image didn't." He was so upset, continued Miller, "That he fired the one who made the stylized image from the team, not realizing it had been Eric." (Trump's son Eric)
Notably the posters placed in rural Gonzales County, Texas faired better than the Wax Sculpture of Trump at Louis Tussaud's Waxxworks in San Antonio, Texas. The sculpture had to be removed after it was repeatedly punched and scratched by paying visitors.
One key difference is San Antonio, a major city located in Bexar County, favored Biden over Trump, 58.3% to 40.1%, while the posters placed in rural Gonzales County voted heavily in favor of Trump over Biden, 73.6% to 25.5%.
Trump spokesperson Jason Miller, announced that new images are being tested. For inspiration the team is conducting further research with "Fascists for Dummies," the book, not the Jeopardy category, featuring the iconography of Hitler and Mussolini.
The book has been used once before to inform the imagery and message of the openly fascistic video celebrating Trump at the Elipse prior to the insurrection on January 6, 2021.

Georgia's BIPOC Voting Law
March 19, 2021
Georgia (THE IT OF THAT) - The Georgia legislature passess bill that requires Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) voters to wear uniforms and ankle restraints.
The new legislation is meant to insure that BIPOC votes would be suppressed, in case the recent prohibitions aren't sufficient.
"We can't leave anything to chance, too much is at stake."
The new voting laws include the prohibition on supplying food or water to prospective BIPOC voters waiting in line and limiting the number of drop boxes in predominently BIPOC districts.
"We can't leave anything to chance, too much is at stake," said Republican State Rep. Loretta Cartwright, who has long advocated for preservation.
Local law enforcement was vocal in their support for the latest action of the legislature.
"We will not stand to see a replication of the disorderly behavior that clearly disturbed the peace," stated John "Bull" Wallace, chief magistrate and advocate for the bill.
Wallace went on to state that any resemblance to prison chain gangs exists "purely in the warped mind of the liberal elite."

Trump Boasts About Tell-All Book
March 18, 2021
Mar-a-Lago (THE IT OF THAT) - Former president Trump released a picture of a draft copy of his new autobiography, MY BIGLY LIFE, prepared just days after the January 6, 2021 insurrection. The picture features the smiling former president in the White House, his opened book and part of former vice president Mike Pence.
Trump spokesperson Jason Miller speaking on condition of non-anonymity revealed the strategy of pre-releasing the draft prior to the reported sit down interviews with a slew of writers including The New York Times's Jeremy Peters and Maggie Haberman and according to Politico, Michael Wolff. "I have to sit through and monitor all those interviews," Miller said acknowledging the difficulty of keeping Trump from incriminating himself.
"The plan is for me to interrupt the interviews by referring to his diet coke, with 'Don't you need a refill?,' or 'You are sounding a little horse,' to signal him to stop."

Unfrozen McConnell Vows To Make Senate Work
March 18, 2021
Washington DC (THE IT OF THAT) - "I am so thankful to be fully awake and freed from the shackles of near suspended animation," the 150 year-old McConnell speaking rapidly admitted to a startled group of Senate members as he bench pressed successive reps of 300lbs. and then sprinted around the track in the Senate exercise room.
Minority leader McConnell said that his slow and deliberate speech was the only public manifstation of his excruciating slow metabolism, other than his requirement for only one meal a month.
Shamir Wilkins of the Associated Press reported that even for those who knew McConnell best were shocked at the eating revelation, as in retrospect they could only remember seeing him very infrequently in the Senate Dining Room.
"I assumed he just didn't like me, said US Senator Ted Cruz, (Texas-R), which was subsequently confirmed by McConnell as true, yet not the reason for him not choosing to dine with the junior senator from Texas.
McConnell pledges to use his newfound energy to switch even faster between supporting and criticising Donald Trump.

"No space laser master control," she finished, sneaking her cell back in her bag.
Congresswoman Greene's host was Nachman Mostofsky, a self described friend of Greene's, who in addition to being a Twitter follower of Congresswoman Greene's is the executive director of Chovevei Zion, an Orthodox conservative group based in Brooklyn. According to the Forward, Mr. Mostofsky called this "an educational" trip.
"Thank you for the Knishes, Kugel and Kishka, Nachman!," said the appreciative Congresswoman as she was leaving. "Say hello to your brother for me." Mostofsky's brother Aaron achieved minor fame as the other pelt wearing occupant, who along with Jake Angeli, the self styled QAnon Shaman, was inside the Capitol during the January 6, 2021 insurrection.
NOT SATIRE: Aaron Mostofsky, who according to his brother Nachman was "shoved into" the Capitol during the January 6, 2021 insurrection, has been indicted by a federal grand jury with 8 counts, including several felonies.

Abbott Vows to Beat California & NY
March 15, 2021
Texas (THE IT OF THAT) - "Texas will never be second to California and NY. My leadership will produce the most Covid-19 deaths of any state in the nation," a defiant Republican Texas governor, Greg Abbott proclaimed.
When asked how he intends to best California and NY, Abbott boasted that between Texas's abysmal innoculation rate, (Texas is tied for 47th among the 50 states) and his repeal of the mask mandate just in time for spring break, it won't be long until Texas takes the lead.
According to the CDC as of January 12, California had the most Covid-19 deaths with 55,095, followed by New York and NYC which combined to have 48,640 and Texas was third nationally with 45,474 Covid-19 deaths.

Hannity Assaults Children's Classic
March 13, 2021
New York (THE IT OF THAT) - "Cancel the fence and don't inhibit the freedom of the Proud Poodles," said Sean Hannity, decrying Speaker Pelosi's new children's book, "The Three Little Pigs and The Unguarded House...and Senate."
The updated classic includes the three little pigs and in a twist, poodles. The Proud Poodles are directed by an evil landlord who wants to evict the piggys leaving his own pigs in charge.
Excerpts:
"A house and senate made of brick, please mother, as it will be warm in winter and cool in summer, and safe all the year round with fences and National Guard troops as needed."
"After the landlord's speech near his White House the Proud Poodles were so angry that they dashed down to the piggy's house and with all their force against the temporary fences, knocked them down. And though the poodles scraped and tore at the bricks with their paws, and broke windows and doors, they only hurt themselves, and at last they had to give it up, and limp away with their forepaws all bleeding and sore."
Any reference to the US Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021 is purely intentional.

Covid-19 Anniversary Awards for Trump and Bolsonaro
March 10, 2021
Mar-a-Lago (THE IT OF THAT) - Former US President Donald Trump and current Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro have won the coveted Covid-19 Gold Grand Prize and Bronze Second Prize Outstanding Performance Leadership Awards respectively. The awards, given by Death & Misery International (DMI), recognized their unparalleled performance in producing the most Covid-19 deaths in their populations.
Trump's and Bolsonaro's achievement is all the more noteworthy considering how few of the world's population live in their countries. Although the US has just 4% of the world's population Trump's leadership produced 25% of worldwide Covid-19 deaths. Likewise Brazil has under 3% of the world's population, yet Bolsonaro's brilliance has produced 13% of worldwide Covid-19 deaths.
"Do you like me yet? Even with those tremendous odds I won. What can I say? ...I am a winner... I never stop winning," former President Trump said while accepting the award. Trump then took the appreciative unmasked audience down memory lane in his speech. While Trump's "it is what it is" was greeted with polite applause, his "I don't take responsibility at all," "The virus has nothing to do with me," and "One day, it's like a miracle, it will disappear," brought the house down.
Bolsonaro's acceptance speech included some of his most memorable quotes including, "Stop all this fussing and whining," which the Brazilian president said in response to his countrymen complaining about his Covid-19 actions, "How long are you going to keep on crying?" and "We have to stop being a country of sissies."
The leaders hydroxycloroquine advocacy was recalled fondly. In spite of overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary, both were steadfast proponents. The ceremony was briefly interrupted at this point when masked protesters claimed that both were only doing it to enrich their big money supporters. The protesters were forcibly taken out of the hall.
The evening was capped with a special commendation for Trump for attempting to spread even more Covid-19 in the US when he lifted the travel ban with Brazil, effective on January 26, 2021. Unfortunately no new Covid-19 deaths were experienced in the US as the policy change was quickly reversed by President Biden.

"In my Poor Richard's Almanac, I wrote that fish & visitors stink in three days." "Mr. Dejoy has long since passed the stage of mild stench that is the malodorous product of dead fish and visitors that have overstayed their welcome."
Recognising that DeJoy's political appointment was clearly part of Trump's seditious plan to retain power, and subvert a democratic election, Franklin issued a warning, "Those who pander for temporal power or profit from the mob, will soon be ruled and ruined by the mob."

Insurrectionist Confession: I was part of the sedition diversion team

"I must have practiced for two hours and I lost my voice, so nobody noticed me at the Capitol," Ken Delphone lamented. "My role was to divert the press to focus on me so they wouldn't see the abduct and kill mission." "Thank god our a guy with horns and animal pelt was there."
While stating that he had no part of the violence, Delphone said he is confused about the Republican reaction to the insurrection. "Trump, (former President Donald Trump) Johnson (US Senator Ron Johnson) Gosar (Rep. Paul Gosar), Gaetz (Rep. Matt Gaetz), Brooks, (Rep. Mo Brooks) and Fox are giving Antifa credit! Come on, teammates should stick together. the Republican politicians did their part and we did ours."

ORLANDO (THE IT OF THAT) - The annual CPAC gathering offers a once in a year opportunity to measure the outsized contributions of a minority of Americans to the overall stupidy of the U.S.
"It is astounding that a group so few in number has historically produced so many insipid thoughts," Director Heather Stanton exclaimed. "Due to the dire nature of our republic the search for terrestrial stupidity is completely warranted."
She and her team are paying special attention to February 28th when Trump will be speaking. "Our working hypothesis is the former president is the most significant contributor to nationwide stupidy."
As to other uses of the data, Director Stanton was hopeful it would lead to breakthroughs on investigations for those engaged in seditious and treasonous actions.
