A hard-line, lunatic socialist fringe group, estimated at 535 members, today seized control of and occupied the U.S. Capitol. The group, largely consisting of lifelong, documented larcenists and moochers, claimed to be the legitimate, constitutionally empowered representatives of the American people. The group occupied and seized control of the Capitol largely unnoticed and without a struggle. The group added emphatically that its claim to power âwas permanent and absolute, and that any attempts to resist the takeover would be futile and met with blunt force.â They stated that as far they could tell, however, âNobody seemed to much care or had discernable interest in doing anything about it anyway.â The move was immediately and universally hailed by the media, major institutions of higher education, Wall Street bankers and investment firms, corporate lobbyists, Democrats, Republicans, the NAACP, Black Lives Matter, and unions from coast to coast. In fact, few if any ordinary citizens seemed to voice concern or disapproval. âWho cares about such archaic things as constitutional rights?â mused a disheveled, glassy-eyed law student at Yale. The future of unquestioned, unlimited control by a self-appointed enlightened elite holds out the promise of world peace, evenly distributed poverty, and exact global temperature control.â His inebriated friend of undetermined gender emphatically chimed in, âYouâre god-damned right.â Person-on-the-street interviews largely echoed their sentiments. High-level representatives of nearly every well-heeled special-interest group and government beneficiaries and clients recognized and sanctioned the legitimacy of the clique and professed lifelong fealty. A stunned SEIU official tearfully exclaimed, âI realistically never expected such a supine reaction to this coup. At last our investment in a values-free public education is reaping its rewards.â
Somebody ping Montel Williams.
or Hiraldo Rivera
“Nobody seemed to much care or had discernable interest in doing anything about it anyway.”
Actually they do. They want to elect more of them no matter what as long as they claim a win.
It’s a lesser evil.
Red Rider?
Well, do they both have enough deadly weapons?
The Feds took the building back?
Congress has really Lost Control.
I knew it was mostly desert, but I thought Saudi Arabia would’ve had at least 30 people. That .83 of a person should really get something to eat.
Shove it lib.
Oh BTW, plenty of us are just as sick of coming here to listen to liberals like you make excuses for why it’s impossible to NOT vote for evil.
Whatever you do, just don’t ping Janet Reno and Wesley Clark.
I know your post was in humor, with true descriptions of the lot of them scattered throughout.
However, on a serious note, since every single member of the HOR were elected by our fellow citizens (voter fraud notwithstanding), there was/is, by definition, no “coup”.
THIS is where the blame lies, imo. Especially in those states which rather gleefully re-elect people who have clearly demonstrated their disdain for the people who sent them to Washington and for the very Constitution they swore to uphold before taking office.
It’s maddening.
I tried to make that point, however roundabout by the references to public indifference over the fictional coup.
Thanks for reading it and critiquing it. A/D
Heh heh...
