THIS IS THE POLITICAL SATIRE THAT FINALLY STOPS TRUMP
McSweeney's ^ | January 23, 2017 | Jeff Loveness

I’ve done it.

After every failure by the political establishment, journalists, activists, concerned citizens, and media empires, I am pleased to announce that I have brought an end to the terror of President Trump by utilizing the greatest power of all: Comedy.

It wasn’t easy. But heroism rarely is, and destiny never calls at a time of our choosing. So, at 12:34 AM, after reading one of his tweets, I take up the pen of justice. I channel the spirit of Voltaire, Twain, and Swift. I hold the mirror to society.

From the article

“...I Photoshop Trump’s face onto Jabba The Hutt....”

Would be better to put Michael Moore’s face on Jabba the Hutt.

While I’ve read some awfully stupid $#!+ on the internet over the years, this has to be a new standard for leftist mental masturbation.

I’m not sure if this is satire or some liberal kooks wet dream.

Not much of a Twain s scholar:

“Communism is idiotcy,” he reckoned. “They want to divide up the property. Suppose they did it — it requires brains to keep money as well as make it. . . . The division would have to be re-made every three years or it would do the communist no good.”

Mark Twain

I’m sure, it’s satire, and the meme-makers trying to knock down Trump by their comedic wits are his targets.

its satire, he’s making fun of the left meme-makers - especially the dimwitted ones making non-spicy low energy memes.

You can’t possibly say it’s satire or not unless you are the author.

Why? Would it look any different?

The author being dimwitted, "non-spicy" and low energy himself in the process was intended to be a wry a touch of irony, I suppose? It's not working if so.

Isn't this the website satirized in SNL's "The Bubble?" Why, yes it is.

Poor, misguided libtard. One day he’s going to run into Reality and break his nose.

“leftist”?

I dunno. This could be any of the National Review usurpers, could be the Salem Radio neverTrumpers. Could be Egg McMuffin. or Levin?

It’s satire. Good Lord, you don’t see that? Maybe I missed the biting satire of your own post. If so, oh well.
