https://babylonbee.com/news/the-babylon-bee-purchases-competing-satire-site-cnn-for-12-billion

Quote
The Babylon Bee has been the world's best satire site for thousands of years, spawning dozens of secular knock-offs that just aren't quite as good.

The site announced a new acquisition this week, one that immediately made the site the largest satirical site on the planet: a purchase of competing satire site CNN for $12 billion. The move more than quadrupled the site's catalog of hilarious, satirical articles.

"We've long admired CNN's ability to parody leftist media organizations so effortlessly, and we're thrilled to have them under The Babylon Bee's umbrella," said site CEO Seth Dillon. "When you can't compete with hilarious satire like CNN, you obviously look for ways to get them on your team, and an acquisition seemed to make the most sense."

The new conglomerate organization will be called BNN. CNN writers and hosts will be instructed to simply keep doing what they're doing.

"We don't want them to change anything since you don't try to fix satirical content that's already incredible," Dillon said. "They'll just keep churning out incredibly skewed content in order to satirize the leftist media's inability to report anything without bias or prejudice."

The IRS decided to audit Grandpa, and summoned him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.

The auditor said, “Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.”

“I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,” says Grandpa. “How about a demonstration?”

The auditor thinks for a moment and says, “OK. Go ahead.”

Grandpa says, “I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.”

The auditor thinks a moment and says, “It’s a bet.”

Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor’s jaw drops.

Grandpa says, “Now, I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.”

The auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind, so he takes the bet.

Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye. The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa’s attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

“Want to go double or nothing?” Grandpa asks. “I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.”

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.

Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor’s desk.

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Grandpa’s attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.

“Are you OK?” the auditor asks.

“Not really,” says the attorney. “This morning, when Grandpa told me he’d been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you’d be happy about it.”


Don’t mess with old people!

    President Obama walks into a local bank in Chicago to cash a check. He is surrounded by Secret Service agents. As he approaches the cashier he says, “Good morning Ma’am, could you please cash this check for me?”

    Cashier:
    “It would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID?”

    Obama:
    “Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn’t think there was any need to. I am former President Barack Obama, the President of the United States of AMERICA !!!!”

    Cashier:
    “Yes sir, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of 9/11, impostors, forgers, money laundering, and bad mortgage underwriting not to mention requirements of the Dodd/Frank legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing ID.”

    Obama:
    “Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am.”

    Cashier:
    “I am sorry Mr. President but these are the bank rules and I must follow them.”

    Obama:
    “I am urging you, please, to cash this check. I need to buy a gift for Michelle for Valentine’s Day”

    Cashier:
    “Look Mr. President, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into one of our bank branches without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a coffee cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his check.”
    “Another time, Andre Agassi came into the same place without ID. He pulled out his tennis racquet and made a fabulous shot where as the tennis ball landed in a coffee cup. With that shot we cashed his check.
    So, Mr. President, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you, as the President of the United States?”

    Obama:
    Obama stands there thinking, and thinking, and finally says, “Honestly, my mind is a total blank…there is nothing that comes to my mind. I can’t think of a single thing. I have absolutely no idea what to do and I don’t have a clue.”

    Cashier:
    “Will that be large or small bills, Mr. President?”

Steingar says everyone on this board will defend Trump, even when he is wrong or says stupid shit.

Steingar also says a lot of real stupid shit.  So your point is?

Nobody is perfect.  I disagree with some of the retorts Trump gives, and how he gives them which are typically in response to what Democrats and/or the Communist Media says.  These are mostly "counter punches".  He gets down in the gutter with them, as that is all they understand. 

Bush, and others never fought back because they FEARED THE MEDIA.  Trump does not.  Does he sometimes give them ammunition to use against him?  Yes, but if you look at the big picture, that is relatively rare, but seems more prevalent due to the Media's over the top response. 

We will see the ultimate outcome if he is reelected or not.  I believe he will be.

 You just hit on another reason the progressive media hate Trump so much, he fights back.   They have never had a president take them on, and get away with it.    The media operates like the playground bully, they hide behind the first amendment and use that to defame and slander/libel whoever they feel, including the President.

 Ever see the reaction of the playground bully when he get's a bloody nose?   Yep, the same reaction the MSM is having right now.

I believe we are going to see something new this year.........honest talk.

Instead of the constant "my feelings are hurt!" and the unending "outrages", the pushback has begun.  Ricky Gervais just gave an excellent example at the Golden Globes (and he's a liberal).   People are fed up, watch for more of this to happen.

 At least Trump has shown the weak kneed republicans it's OK to fight back.

I get frustrated by some of Trump's tweets and some of the things he says that shoot himself in the foot.  Then I remember we purposely elected a non politician that doesn't carefully parse his words in sentences that have a lot of words but say nothing.

/\ /\ /\

This.

  I'm sick and tired of polished politicians who lie constantly, but who are also eloquent in speeches.

 We didn't hire Trump to be the Pope (although he would do better than the present one).  We hired the guy to fix things, it's all about job performance.

Spin Zone / Hey, GOP! This is What Pushback Looks Like

Quote
Republican voters have lamented for years over the lack of pushback from their elected leaders. Democrats and the media hurl baseless and libelous accusations at Republicans, only to be met with a weak defense at best, or silence at worst.

Republicans want to push granny off a cliff, make senior citizens eat dog food, starve children and put them in cages. Republicans are racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, Islamophobic, mean-spirited, and ignorant.

Watch any cable news show and get a healthy dose of this garbage. If you don’t like the news, watch late night “comedy,” entertainment award shows, or virtually any television series to hear much the same. It’s one-way propaganda with no pushback.

As one of the all-time great propagandists Joseph Goebbels summed it up, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

In the last few years, however, the tide is turning. Pushback is being demonstrated by our pugilist-in-chief, President Donald Trump. And others are following his lead.

Spin Zone / Re: Excellent video from an Iranian/American
« on: January 10, 2020, 04:22:11 PM »
That's been my experience with the few Iranians I have met.  They are wonderful, well educated, hard working people.  That is why I am so hostile to their government and think we should liberate that country from their leaders.  Actually, that is not why I think we should liberate them.  We should depose their leaders because they are a threat to the US.  I just don't think we should be the ones to install a new government.  Perhaps NATO (that useless bunch of pricks) could set up a police force while they organize themselves.

Your espousing the Bush Doctrine.  And while it may sound reasonable, it's not.

 First of all, if we go in and "remove" the current regime, then we own it.  And that means billions upon billions of dollars, our dollars. 

 And don't look to NATO to offer up any help, well, unless we foot the bill.

 On the subject of "liberation". Right now we have a large percentage of people in the US that would like to see a "regime change" here.   So should several countries get together and "invade" the US to force a regime change here and liberate the leftist and progressives?

 Sound absurd?  Of course it is.  But so it would be for the US to go liberate Iran.   Let the Iranian people throw out the government if they don't like it.  It's not the job of the US to go around the world and remove governments it doesn't like.

The impeachment hoax at work.

The real reason for impeachment was not to remove Trump from office.  The dims knew that would not happen.  The actual reason for impeachment was to cripple Trump and smear him before the election.

 And how was this to work?  Anything Trump does the dims disagree with (which is everything) they simply get their MSM to project he's only doing this to deflect from impeachment, or if say the SC has a vacancy, then they can cry "He's being impeached, and shouldn't be allowed to make nominations!".

 This is why Nancy wants to hold the articles from the senate.  As long as he has the articles they can use the impeachment hoax.  If she sends them to the senate, she knows they will acquit and the dims lose the hoax.
