This satire is dangerously close to being fact.

I mean, it is factual, but has to be labeled as satirical to ensure the writer is not sued or suicided.

The U.S. military industrial complex is hitting new heights! Now that Trump's sons are manufacturing drones it's going to be even better. For Trump and Trump's pals.

The 1% are making a literal killing!

War is America's largest export. Billionaires & US politicians make huge profits. No one wants tax dollars to go to healthcare, infrastructure, or citizens. Silly! There is no money in that! That's why we should thank Israel for keeping us at war.

The CIA is busy negotiating in Cuba ATM and we know what that means! The New York Times will be explaining how Cuba has been manufacturing an A-bomb. Once the place looks like GAZA the US will take it over.

Win win!

When is the question.

When will the "checks and balances" we are supposed to have in Amerikkka kick in?

I used to say we're ruled by elitist oligarchs. I've since narrowed that to the unauditable unaccountable MIC. They're firmly in control of both parties.

I am constantly importuned to support this or that candidate for Congress as if that body had not long since stopped even pretending to represent the people of the U.S. Turns out that the best democracy money can buy is not a democracy, who would have guessed? Elections here still exist in order to suck up time and energy from people alarmed at where we're heading and confused about how to intervene.

I think it is a blessing in disguise for him and MTG to be ousted from the right wing of the Epstein coalition, they can do more damage running as independents to support a real anti establishment 3rd party candidate in 2028

Epstein- the gift that keeps on giving - like a venereal disease.

Well, that is what you get when you are a foreigner agent in the U.S. of A, complete control over the suckers.

Fortunately while the people are paying high fuel prices, oil companies in the U.S. are exporting more than ever before, enriching the already rich, and making sure that both, millions can die, and that the rich will still be making money after everyone else is dead.

After all, who needs people when you can have robots doing the slave job without complaining, and when the suckers are so stupid to call algorithms and apps “artificial intelligence”.

Until they realize that robots don't buy their widgets.

Yep! Lost another primary to Israel, and saying those words makes me want to fill my pockets with rocks and walk into the ocean. On the bright side, Summer Lee trounced Israel in her Democrat primary. Again, how is it that Israel is allowed to punish dissenters via our elections?! That shit can't end fast enough!

Please don’t fill your pockets with rocks and walk into the ocean. We need you. These horrors come and go in waves. We’ll keep going, as depressing as this is. 🍪 Have a cookie. ❤️

The Roman Empire fell when Israeli-approved candidates were appointed to the Roman Senate, but this doesn't mean the same thing will happen to the USA.

Gold star award for today's piece. Just please don't mention the Israel lobby or Israel in your acceptance speech

Exactly, 100%, perfectly right. Thank you and now, I'm gonna go scream-sob into my moral outrage pillow.

Thank you for saying what I could not as my blood was boiling over and preventing me from uttering any 'anti-semitic' slurs.

As a Kentuckian (but not a resident of Massie's district) it is with profoundly conflicting feelings I learn of his primary loss to AIPAC. It has been unreal to find myself sending an anti-choice, assault-rifle for each family member Christmas card photo, hater of social programs Republican House member "Thank You" cards for voting against giving money or weapons to Israel and for Epstein file disclosure. He had the correct choice for these things but for certainly the wrong or disingenuous reasons. In Kentucky there is no exemption from the abortion ban for any reason, including rape, even the rape of a minor. Gun violence is endemic. He'd have it no other way. However if my only options are the strapped-up lunatic misogynist voting against two bad things and the lunatic misogynist supported by AIPAC and Trump who will vote for EVERY bad thing, the choice is clear.

Apparently the district that elected Massie in the past is still in thrall to Trump.

It's amazing what money (in any form) can buy, I tell You! Best We be rid of that psychopath-promoting and archaic tool.
