I read the headline and sub and wondered whether this would be a fact-based humor piece or fact-based analysis.

😅

Not just the laughs but it got funnier as it went. Nice way to end the week.

You got me in the first paragraph. I bought it hook, line, and sinker. Then I remembered it was a Roy Edroso piece. Hilarious, especially the bit about Iowa. Miracle whip was a staple in our house. One of the 3 major food groups. Brown-bacon; green-canned (dented of course) green beans; and white-Miracle Whip.

You forgot the Right to Bare Arms Act that Matt Gaetz proposed. Rep. Gaetz complained that the Missouri lege dress rule violated both the 2nd Amendment and his right to ogle AOC’s toned “guns.” (In response she offered to demonstrate her “guns” two feet from his nose.)

"Agents will do spot checks to make sure recipients are not using ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise in the home..."

Mayonnaide is of course acceptable. Cost = 2 ration cards.

I cannot let “girl bosses” slide by...

I get it, I do. The boss says the magas say that's woke, and in their dismal swamp it must be so. But out here in the real world “girl bosses” is a term that magas actually champion, in contrast to "women supervisors", who by definition cannot find purchase in the hierarchy.

You can work with girl bosses, is all I'm sayin'...

Victory will have the easiest job of any insult comic ever: he'll just have to shout "FAAAAAAAAAAG" whenever any Democrat uses the words "empathy," "equality" or "justice" on the House Floor. Then Sean Hannity will interview the puppet and marvel at his ability to come up with the perfect anti-woke retort, every single time.

You really do have an uphill battle with this. People this unserious make parody superfluous, It's going to be a very long two years.

I think the most horrifying two words in this were "Guest Congressman." My mind reels at the possibilities.

Lol, from over here in the hellscape that Iowa has become. Where only private/religious schools will get money, also too.

woke sentiments and concepts such as “endemic racism,” “marriage equality,” “girl bosses,” and “universal healthcare,”

Blue hair! Don't forget blue hair!

And there's a request sent in by a helpful individual, reading "please make sure all the girls are hot so I can think about them better. T.C."
