Dear Aunt Patriotica: Is It a Crime to Undermine Law Enforcement If I’m Doing It Patriotically?

Dear Aunt Patriotica,

Please help. I’m a deeply devoted public servant — let’s just say my initials are PB, and I hold a little position called Attorney General. I’ve recently pardoned several upstanding American citizens who were very enthusiastic about their love for velvet ropes, broken windows, and lightly toppling democracy on January 6th.

Anyway, someone recently had the audacity to ask me if pardoning these folks — many of whom attacked Capitol Police, local D.C. officers, and even federal agents — might constitute a betrayal of law enforcement. I was shocked. I love law enforcement! I wear flag pins! I’ve shaken hands with at least two sheriffs!

I reminded the rude person that no one should interfere with federal police operations… except apparently me, because technically I just did. Now I’m spiraling.

Can I still be pro-police if I pardon people who beat them with flagpoles? Is “backing the blue” conditional if the blue gets in the way of my boss’s base? Please advise.

Patriotically Conflicted,
PB, AG (Absolutely Guiltless)


Dear PB,

Oh honey.

You’re not conflicted, you’re just a little ideologically congested. Take a deep breath — preferably one not clouded by tear gas from an “organic political expression event” like the one your pen pals attended on January 6th.

Let’s walk this through:

  • You say no one should interfere with federal police operations.

  • But you pardon people who interfered with federal police operations.

  • You love law enforcement — just not when they arrest your voter base.

  • You back the blue — unless the blue is testifying before Congress.

  • You support justice — just selectively, and only on alternate Thursdays.

It’s not a crime against police, PB. It’s performance art. It’s like saying “I love firefighters” while handing out flamethrowers at a forest preserve. The key is branding.

Next time someone calls you out, just say: “These pardons were restorative justice for patriotic dissent.” Then stare at them like they are the criminal.

Also, you may want to get a loyalty punch card — you’re just one pardon away from a free Mar-a-Lago buffet.

Flatteringly yours,
Aunt Patriotica

Climate Change—Now Causing Bullets to Fly

Twitter (or X , if you’re into midlife crises for social media platforms) has finally cracked the case of America’s mass shooting epidemic. Forget guns, forget mental health, forget decades of policy gridlock. The true culprit? Thermometers. According to one very serious thread with 28,000 likes and three graphs made in Microsoft Paint, the number of mass shootings rises with the temperature. “As the Earth gets hotter,” the poster explained, “so does the barrel of an AR-15. And when that barrel heats up, freedom just starts firing itself.” The theory is elegant in its simplicity: Cold weather = mittens. Hard to reload in mittens. Hot weather = sweaty rage. Nothing says “Second Amendment rights” like a 102-degree heat index. Global warming = global shooting. It’s science. Commenters were quick to add supporting evidence: “I wore a hoodie in December and didn’t feel like shooting anyone. Coincidence? I think not.” “Ever notice school shootings dip during winter break?

PRESIDENT TRUMP ISSUES DECREE: "IF IT MAKES ME LOOK BAD, IT'S DEMOCRATICALLY MANIPULATED BULLSHIT"

Washington, D.C. — In a bold display of leadership reminiscent of only the finest banana republics, President Donald J. Trump today issued a sweeping presidential decree officially outlawing all statistics, reports, charts, tweets, TikToks, frowns, and bad vibes that fail to glorify his presidency. The decree, titled “The Truth and Nothing But the Trump” , follows the abrupt firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Director after last Friday’s jobs report showed a slight uptick in unemployment—a number that "smelled like Soros," according to Trump. “Folks, I looked at that report, and it just screamed ‘deep state’” Trump told reporters from the golf cart he now uses as his official motorcade. “That kind of anti-Trump math has no place in America. We’re deporting it.” When asked if he meant deporting people or just numbers , White House Press Secretary Tucker Carlson (now holding dual roles as Press Secretary and National Archivist) clarified: “Any operative—statisti...

MAGA Ostriches: Trump’s Flock Perfect the Art of Sand-Diving

  In the latest zoological discovery, scientists have confirmed that MAGA supporters and their leader Donald J. Trump share a striking similarity with ostriches: whenever confronted with uncomfortable facts, they immediately bury their heads in the sand. The key difference, experts note, is that ostriches eventually come up for air, while MAGA voters are still waiting for Hillary’s emails to be released by WikiLeaks. At a rally in Florida, Trump proudly declared, “Ostriches are very smart, very strong birds. People don’t know this, but they’re saying ‘Sir, you’re just like an ostrich, you see fake news and you bury, bury, bury.’ And I do it better than anyone. Tremendous bird, really classy.” The Ostrich Strategy When confronted with reports that contradict their worldview—such as unemployment numbers, climate science, or Trump’s golf scores—MAGA ostriches engage in a synchronized head-burying maneuver. Within seconds, they retreat underground, emerging only when Newsmax or OAN con...
