THIS IS THE POLITICAL SATIRE THAT FINALLY STOPS TRUMP

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.

I Photoshop Trump’s face onto Jabba The Hutt.

I tweet my “Jabba the Trump” meme for the world to see...

If you can’t tell that my post is satirical, then how can you tell this authors post is satirical?

I actually believe there are leftists out there that would seriously dream this up. Therefore I cannot rule out that it isn’t satire.

[OddLane]

Heh.

[Califreak]

Pizza the Hutt(Spaceballs)was supposed to taste good.

Michael the Hutt probably tastes like rancid lard.

I thought comedy was supposed to be......funny

Not necessarily!

[dr_lew]

Well, the arms lined up pretty good, don’t you think?

[Daffynition]

Ditto

“The New PTSD: Post-Trump Stress Disorder” - The MLN didn’t make Trump, so they can’t break Trump.

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

Much more fitting, indeed.

“Would be better to put Michael Moore’s face on Jabba the Hutt.” — you don’t need to. he already resembles ole Jabba

[jocon307]

Yes, that article was pretty useless with out the picture. About a thousand words short I’d say. But no vagina hat, so there’s that.

[NoCmpromiz]

Would be better to put Michael Moore’s face on Jabba the Hutt.
Why? Would it look any different?

Now that right there is.. funny. ;-)

Jeff Loveness treads a fine line but definitely falls to one side.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

OK. This guy is wacky.

He loves Twain and Swift. OK, so do I, a conservative. Shania Twain is talented and gorgeous. She puts on a classy show that makes Beyonce’ seem like a $25 hooker.

Taylor Swift - A real talented cutie. She’s cool in my book.

Voltaire - read him in college. Funny, sharp, educated, unlike the author of this article.

I think a photoshopped picture of Michele Obama on Jabba The Hutt’s body would be something to see. Hillary’s head could be on the Rancor Monster. Fits her personality.

The Left really has not talent for good humor, not even an ice cream bar.

Oh come on ..: conservative father in cathartic conversion tears, underground Putin symbolically conceding at chess? How much more do you need? In either case, I can SAY it is satire, I can even say I’m certainly is. The only thing I can’t do without being the author, apparently, is convince you that I’m right.

I’ve read quite a lot of Twain over the years, but I can’t remember seeing that quotation. Can you give me a citation that I can verify, or is it just the usual Internet BS that someone made up and attributed to Twain?

Also, Mark Twain would never have spelled “idiocy” with a t, but I’m willing to let that go as a typo.

[Daffynition]

Your comment made me wonder; what if we could time travel and put Twain and Trump in a room together; wonder what would happen? :)

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Could be fun.

[Daffynition]

Heh. I know which of the two, would light up a cigar. :)

[Albion Wilde]

Had you read the whole thing, you might realize he was making fun of people who make fun of Trump.

[CrazyIvan]

I remembered a quote that said much the same thing but was simpler and did a search. I could not find it but this one was credited to him in the WSJ. I do try to vett quotes I post. I hope this one is geniune.
