Today, in yet another move that seems intent on both consolidating dictatorial powers, as well as distracting Americans with a theatrical show to help them forget that he promised to release the Epstein Files and never delivered on that promise, Donald Trump began his crackdown of Washington, D.C., that nation's capital.
It is debatable at best whether he actually legally possesses that kind of authority. But since our system of checks and balances appears to be broken (seemingly by design), nobody is keeping those increasingly authoritarian powers and tendencies by the White House in check.
Yet, more grim headlines.
Thought that this might be an important time to try and remember that humor can be used both as a weapon, as well as a device to try and keep us a bit sane. To that end, Andy Borowitz ranks among the best, particularly with political humor.
This is a piece which Borowitz released earlier today on Facebook. It's a short piece, and seemed worth sharing here.
Below is the link to the Facebook page which it can be found on.
Enjoy.
Andy Borowitz · WASHINGTON— Residents of the District of Columbia are demanding that Republicans vacate the city “immediately,” according to a petition released on Tuesday.
The petition, signed by hundreds of thousands of DC citizens, accuses the Republicans of participating in an “unprecedented crime wave” and calls for them to move “far away.”
While DC crime overall is at a 30-year low, the petition says, an organized criminal gang invaded the city on January 20 of this year.
That gang, consisting of known Republicans, has engaged in shakedowns, sold worthless crypto, and desecrated public buildings with decor worthy of a mafioso, the petition says.
Additionally, the petition indicates that a “mentally unwell” Republican menaced the city last week by skulking about on the roof of the White House.
