WASHINGTON, D.C.—Democrats are beginning to grow worried that if their impeachment effort fails, they'll have to resort to plan B: nominating an electable candidate and winning an election.
"The real danger here," said Nancy Pelosi in a meeting of top Democrats, "is that the normal way of getting rid of a president---impeachment---fails. Then, we'd have to try to find someone who isn't a smug, smarmy doofus and get the public to like them."
"What about Andrew Yang? He's pretty nice," said one aide, who was then asked to leave the room for such reckless hate.
"I could run for president. I'm pretty electable," said Chuck Schumer.
"Oh, cut the crap. You're insufferable," said Pelosi, rolling her eyes. "Ocasio, any ideas?"
"What if we just, like, seized the means of production and executed all the leaders?" Ocasio-Cortez asked, looking up from a comic book about herself she was reading. "That would be so fetch."
"Stop trying to make fetch happen!" Pelosi replied, clearly irritated now. "Alright, so getting elected is out. Let's just put all our eggs in the impeachment basket and hope it works out. Maybe we can pass impeachment first so we can find out what things Trump did that are impeachable."
Not only is the Bee a zillion times better than the Onion, but when they draw from pop culture, they totally nail it.
They are great.
CNN got them all fired up.
LOL!
Love the Bee but the Onion’s “Our Dumb World” was one of the funniest things I’ve ever read!!
Major recommend read for every Freeper.
It’s already failed.
Is this satire ?
Yeah
It can be had at the public library for those who do not wish to buy it.
Yes, but it’s the Babylon Bee, where they are often too close to reality to be able to tell the difference.
It’s funny because it’s true!
The Dem’s would otherwise have to hire a PI to find out how to contact Jim Webb (assuming he’s still a Dem).
Then there’s this, already posted on FR so I won’t post it as a thread again.

That’s a huge problem because none of them are
Tragically, Babylon Bee is the _only_ satire site so spot-on absurd you can tell the difference from reality. The rest fail miserably, being utterly indistinguishable - or if distinguishable, only because they actually make more sense than reality. I’ll give Onion an honorable mention, but Bee wins “last survivor” for satire.
Actually, sometimes even the Bee is hard to distinguish from reality.
This one from them is one......
