Cornyn to Block Trump Nominees [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 26 July 2026 | John Semmens

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex) says he will block President Trump's diplomatic nominees until he expedites funding for treatment for HIV and AIDS around the world. "The AIDS virus was first identified by American doctors in 1981," the he pointed out. "As such, I think it is our moral obligation to fund the treatment of its African victims who represent the largest and poorest concentration of victims in the world. President Trump should do this because it's the right thing to do, but the only way it seems like you can get the administration's attention on some of these funding issues is by using the leverage to withhold votes on nominees."

The Senator also cited "Trump's endorsement of my primary challenger as a secondary reason for blocking his nominees. I have been a senator for more than 20 years. Trump implied that I might get his endorsement, but at the last minute endorsed my opponent. This 'stab in the back' has motivated me to use my last months in office to do everything I can to avenge his betrayal. He has no one to blame but himself for the damage I will wreak between now and January."

AIDS originated in African chimpanzees and monkeys and made the jump to humans sometime between 1890 and 1920. It is transmitted by the co-mingling of blood with an infected ape or human. Opportunities for transmission to and between humans can occur when butchering an ape or monkey for food, anal sex, or sharing needles to inject narcotics.

“the damage I will wreak between now and January.”

That’s quite an admission - and proves Trump was right to toss him to the curb.

AIDS, like drug addiction and alcoholism, is caused by BEHAVIOR. No funding from the well behaved tax base is warranted.

It’s a shame cornyn’s constitutients can’t take him behind the barn and deliver a beating to let him know they are displeased with him. And tell him it happens every day until he straightens up and supports the President they elected.

It’s not satire. Cornyn actually threatened to withhold his vote. But the nominees have already been voted out of committee so apparently he relented.

“Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex) says he will block President Trump’s diplomatic nominees”... because Trump backed Paxton. Simple as that.

AIDS funding was the original global slush fund before USAID.
Ever wonder how the leaders in the Gay Mafia got so rich?
There is your answer.
