Before storming out, Trump reportedly said that any additional sanctions, "would just be gravy."

Mental Illness in El Paso

EL PASO   A mentally ill man rambled around an El Paso hospital this week ranting to stunned emergency personnel who days before had performed heroically in the aftermath of a mass shooting.  "He seemed to be fixated on crowd size for some reason, it was bizarre. No one knew what he was talking about," said one doctor.  The man then posed with an toddler who had been orphaned in the sooting. Inexplicably, he grinned and shot a thumbs up. Staff were horrified, but luckily the man was quickly escorted out by the entourage that he'd arrived with.

The man was described as having 'clownish hair and an ill fitting suit." He was accompanied by a woman, who staff said had, "tons of makeup and strip club hair." Anyone with knowledge of who the man is should contact authorities,

I can make them hurt, if I want...."  When Trump ended by reminding the audience that they 'had one hour to produce Harry Potter' and then, "Join me in the Forbidden Forest and confront your fate. If you do not do this, I shall kill every last man, woman and child who tries to conceal him from me," - the crowd went wild.

Pence Pushes Provolone

WASHINGTON DC  Vice President Mike Pence appeared on the Sunday news shows to tout the administration's latest proposal for a border wall.  "Everyone knows that Latinos are exceptionally lactose intolerant and America produces some of the worlds strongest cheeses. A border wall made out of cheese would A) Be very effective in repelling migrants and B) Bring a much needed boost to America's dairy farmers." when pressed about the durability of a cheese border wall Pence countered, "Have you ever tried cutting provolone or romano? It's nearly impossible! And remember, we will leave the rind on, that makes it very comparable to our steel slat design." The president hopes to discuss the proposal with Democrats, "over some fondue and Lactaid" and hopes they'll keep an open mind.

Introducing: The MAGA Wall Hat!

WASHINGTON DC   Hoping to jump start the negotiations over his border wall funding, President Trump has introduced his 'MAGA Wall Hat' design. "I've got two right here, one each for Chuck and Nancy. It's a great hat, the greatest - well maybe second greatest. But believe me it's a great hat."

Trump reportedly believes that this will clarify the actual purpose behind the wall and quickly shift public opinion behind him. Polls currently show that "next to no one" thinks either the border wall or the resulting government shutdown are a good idea.

Trump Confessed to Collusion

WASHINGTON  President Donald Trump confessed to collusion with Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 election via twitter last night saying his son Don Jr (aka Fredo) actually met with Russians to accept "dirt" on Hillary Clinton.  His tweet seems to implicate his son for high crimes, treason as well as first degree dumbshittery.  Trump's resignation is now expected "at any time", while the president and Don Jr are reportedly squabbling over who will bunk with Paul Manifort in prison.
Manifort is reportedly balking at that arrangement and is hoping to instead bunk with "people who read."

FBI Releases Photo of Russian Who Did Not Meet With Don Jr.

WASHINGTON   The FBI reportedly believes it has located a US based Russian agent who Donald Trump Jr. did not meet with. The agent, known only as Vlad (pictured at left at a 'Real Americans for Trump' rally) reportedly had several meetings scheduled, but all were cancelled. When questioned by the FBI, Vlad claimed "All his friends were meeting with 'Donny" but was evasive as to why he'd been shut out, "This is very complicated, a lot of in's, a lot of out's, a lot of what have you's." The FBI feels that there are not many other Russian agents out there who haven't met with Don Jr., but as one agent said, "It's certainly not suspicious, Donny's a people pleaser."

Summit-Up

WASHINGTON    Thrilled with what he sees as 'amazing press' following the Helsinki summit,  President Trump has reportedly asked aides to prepare a short list of leaders he can meet with. Summit requests from dictators are reportedly flooding in and White House advisor Steven Miller is reviewing the offers for 'whiteness."
     "The President was very disappointed to learn that Narnia was off the table," said one staffer. "Apparently Putin told him he had to meet the queen - 'she's so hot.'"

Helsink-hole

Both leaders agreed to meet again - but not collude - "right before the mid-terms."

Your Healthcare - Revealed

WASHINGTON  Republicans rolled out their Obamacare replacement to rave reviews from their own damn selves on Monday. GFYcare, as the program will be called, will provide tax credits to subsidize coverage for poor people - just not enough to actually pay for insurance. People with pre-existing conditions will get coverage - from unaffordable High Risk pools. "We've thought of everything," said Republican congressional spokesman Billy Vader, "but there's a lot we just didn't get around to putting in.  The important thing is, it won't be 'Obamacare', other than that, it really doesn't matter if it works."

Iranian Roulette

TEHRAN   The leaders of Iran were stunned to learn last week that one of the first actions secretly taken by the Trump administration was to put the Middle Eastern country on ‘Double Secret Probation” because, as as security advisor Dean Wormer noted, “We hate those guys.”  Iranian foreign secretary Ali Ali Allcomefree explained, “As soon as we found out, the Supreme Mystical Security Council was convened to address the issue. We all knew what had to be done, everybody shouted ‘Missile test!!!’ Then we threw our heads back and laughed.” 

The Iranians seemed unconcerned with the posturing by the Trump administration. “We’ll let them duke it out with the Australians for a while," said Allcomefree, “then we’ll come back with something even better. We’ve got some doozies planned." 

Trump Casts Out Satan

WASHINGTON   The nation was stunned today when President Trump failed to nominate Satan - The Destroyer of Worlds, for confirmation to the Supreme Court. All week it appeared The Prince of Darkness was the clear favorite. One staffer noted, “He’s been at the White House for days, showing up early, bringing donuts, sitting in on all the meetings - I thought it was a sure thing. He’s such a good fit. Beelzebub and Trump are really on the same page, they finish each other’s sentences."

Some pundits are sure Satan will find a role in the new administration while others are less certain. “How much unbridled evil do they really need?” asked noted political analyist Snoops McGyver, “He’s already got Gingrich, Bannon, Guliani… that’s an excellent triumvirate of dead eyed, soulless horror right there. Why would they want to mess with that balance." 

Trump Goes 'Bananas'

NEW YORK  Sources report that famed director Woody Allen is seriously considering suing President Trump for plagiarism over copying "almost work for word" the plot of Allen's 1971 film 'Bananas.' The movie is about a bumbling New Yorker who, through a series of implausible events, ends up being the dictator of a country. He quickly proves to be out of his depth and issues increasingly ridiculous policy proclamations. "It's the same story," said a movie veteran, "exactly, totally the same story. Even a game show host can see this is plagiarism."
