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

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

If there is a Space Navy there will need to be a Space Marine Corps.
In space no one can hear you scream unless it is the battle cry of the United States Marines.

Fact-checking satire is the ultimate in stupidity.

Actually, in her defense, I don’t think she thought the BBee was story was real. I think she was informing other idiots that the story was a parody.
