Some of these Babylon Bee satires are truly lame. This is definitely one of them.
Good satire is barely distinguishable from truth. John Semmens is a master at it.
I agree John Semmens is a master. But remember, his semi-news/semi-satire posts start with something that actually DID happen. That lends a greater veracity to the remainder of the piece. I often find it difficult to tell where the reality stops and the satire starts.
Then again, 10 years ago, what is our current reality would have been deemed satire. Or worse.
The Babylon Bee takes off into the blue from the git-go. It's not lame, it's just ahead of its time.
Look back and read their stuff in 5 or 10 years. It'll read like the straight news of the future. Just you wait...
Dissing on the Bee? You must be a Russian spy!
Hillary accused Tulsi of being a Russian asset with no more basis than this.
I liked it. Obviously false but weaved together many true things from the rotten one: being carried out by the arms, third time, falsely accusing of Russian asset, triggered by Trump, and having to get servants go to market. Also mocked her: “just Hillary” and “failed presidential candidate”. And despite its left leanings, I like Costco.
