Best thread EVER: USA Today fact-checked The Babylon Bee about Trump wanting a Space Navy for the Moon, but then the real U.S. Navy got involved and ROFL

The Babylon Bee had this really funny satirical article up earlier this week joking that President Trump proposed a Space Navy now that NASA found water on the Moon:

With Moon Water Announcement, Trump Proposes Space Navy https://t.co/aG1at5Wp1F

— The Babylon Bee (@TheBabylonBee) October 27, 2020

And then the morons at USA Today decided this needed a fact check, which led to an even funnier “retraction” from the Bee:

Sadly, we must retract this one. We'd like to thank @USATODAY for calling us out with this fact check. We will strive to do better. pic.twitter.com/5tk5ApSQjv

These morons thought Trump was talking about real coyotes at the last debate with Byedone. So why wouldn’t they believe a space navy? Remember when they thought Trump’s sons shot an endangered dinosaur?

That’s why the Space Navy needs a Star Fleet rank structure.

Captain Picard not Colonel Picard

Commander Riker not Lieutenant Colonel Riker

Lieutenant Commander Data not Major Data

Forget about the Navy and the moon.

Keeping in spirit with the leftist absolute “laws of response”, Trump needs to make a statement about reality of the moons existance.

Well if I’m going to watch for the mail bouy, go get me a bucket of steam and an overhead buffer. I might as well clean the stack bat shit off the ceiling.

Here is the funniest apology ever.

It’s the Chaser Brothers apologizing for calling a guy a pedophile.

These 2 guys from Australia are a real hoot...
