A district judge has issued a ruling saying Trump lacked the Constitutional authority to pick up two astronauts who have been stranded at the International Space Station for several months.
SpaceX has been ordered to return the astronauts immediately.
"I will not stand by while Donald Trump abuses his power like a dictator," said Judge Earl Flanders in his ruling. "Trump has no authority to pick up these astronauts, and I can say that because I'm a federal judge, and no one is allowed to argue with me, and everyone has to do what I say."
Eyewitnesses say the judge then donned a Keffiyeh and spray painted a Cybertruck while screaming "Black Lives Matter."
Sources in Washington say Trump plans to brazenly ignore the lawful order and bring the astronauts home anyway. "This is just the kind of wanton lawlessness we should expect from a dictator who is literally Hitler," said one legal analyst.
The SpaceX craft docked at the ISS on Sunday and was preparing for the return journey to Earth when the orders stopped the process short. "Please bring us home, I just want a cheeseburger and a nap in a horizontal bed," said one of the crew.
At publishing time, Trump was polling at 100% approval among the stranded astronaut demographic.

LOL!
Funny because there’s so much truth to it.
I believe it!
Some of us have been demanding the Babylon Bee cover this story—and they have done it.
Yes!
Hahaha. The Bee is too funny (and too close to the truth.)

I responded:
Brilliant.
Bee will probably take it.
Darn! You beat me to it fair and square!
I’m not sure this is parody.
The Democrats would absolutely do this.
Dont give em any ideas they just might do that..
Judge: Wait, did I just hear that woman astronaut say that she thanks Elon and Trump, not on my watch, she’s going back to space
Barely satire
Additionally, the judge order Trump to put the toothpaste back into his tube.
To avoid reader confusion the Babylon Bee reference should be put in extra-large, flashing, bold font since the headline and excerpt are almost identical to actual reports of TROs and rulings that anti-Trump, radical leftist judges have been pulling out of their keisters.
Good one!
Bad news for the stranded one who went bonkers.
Several months? They’ve been up there for nine months for heaven sakes.
“Several months? They’ve been up there for nine months for heaven sakes.”
I think you’re missing the point of the SATIRE my friend
Epic!
