January 6th, Reimagined: A Fairy Tale for the Ages

If history is written by the victors, then January 6th is now being rewritten by the very people who lost the election, lost the courts, lost the recounts, and somehow still insist they won. According to the latest Republican remix—executive produced by Donald J. Trump —January 6th was not an attack on democracy , but a spirited self-guided Capitol tour led by deeply patriotic sightseers who just happened to break windows, assault police officers , and chant about hanging the vice president. In this new cinematic universe, the rioters were “hostages,” the police were “ provocateurs ,” and Trump himself was a passive bystander heroically watching cable news while heroically doing absolutely nothing. Once upon a time (that time being January 6, 2021), Republicans were briefly horrified. They called it an “insurrection,” a “violent mob,” even—gasp—an attack on the Constitution . Some wept. Some condemned. A few even suggested consequences. But that phase passed quickly, like a New...

Trump Orders ICE to Raid ABC News After Weather Segment “Warns” Northeast It’s About to Get ICY

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a bold new expansion of federal law enforcement into the realm of basic vocabulary, President Donald Trump reportedly ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to storm the headquarters of ABC News after the network’s broadcast last night informed viewers that the Northeast was about to get “ICY.” According to multiple sources inside the administration, Trump immediately interpreted the warning as a covert signal that ICE raids were imminent , and concluded that ABC News was actively aiding suspects by providing “advance notice.” “THIS IS OBSTRUCTION,” Trump wrote in a late-night social media post, reportedly typed with one hand while the other pointed accusingly at the television. “ABC IS TELLING PEOPLE ICE IS COMING. VERY ILLEGAL. VERY UNFAIR. WEATHER IS A HOAX ANYWAY.” ABC News maintains it was simply reporting on an approaching winter storm, noting that roads, sidewalks, and general reality could become icy. But the White House remains unconvinced, arg...

Trump Demands Control of Greenland for “National Security,” Unaware NATO Already Covers Entire Concept of Security

“We have to protect Greenland from… the alliance that is literally designed to protect Greenland,” President explains WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump renewed his interest this week in acquiring Greenland, declaring it “absolutely essential” to U.S. national security and warning that the United States may take it “by force” if necessary, citing urgent security concerns about a territory that is already safely nested inside the world’s most famous security blanket: NATO . At a press conference, Trump stood beside a map of the Arctic that appeared to have been printed from a weather app, pointing at Greenland with a Sharpie and saying, “We need it. It’s big. It’s ice. It’s strategic. Everyone wants ice now.” Trump emphasized the seriousness of the threat. “Greenland is vulnerable,” he warned. “It’s sitting there, just hanging out, unprotected, like a beautiful frozen cake. Very dangerous.” Reporters noted that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a founding member of NAT...

Trump & MAGA Crown Themselves King of All Excuses

“Accountability is a hoax,” says movement, unveiling 600 new ways to never be wrong PALM BEACH, FL — In what supporters are calling “a historic victory for personal convenience,” President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement have officially become the undisputed King of All Excuses , a title previously held by the guy who didn’t do the group project because “his dog ate his Wi-Fi.” At a celebratory event held near a golf course (the nation’s most sacred location for avoiding consequences), Trump accepted a ceremonial crown made entirely of laminated grievance statements and freshly minted victimhood coins. “This is the greatest excuse movement in history,” Trump declared. “Nobody makes excuses like we do. The best excuses. Our excuses are so strong they should have borders.” A Movement Built on a Simple Principle: If it’s bad for us, it’s fake. If it’s good for us, it’s destiny. Political analysts say the MAGA movement has perfected what scholars are now calling Selective Reality Theory...

On X, “Murder” Is a Partisan Vocabulary Word

​ By now, the rules are clear. Not written anywhere, of course—just intuitively understood by anyone who spends more than ten minutes on X. When someone is killed by law enforcement, the question is not what happened, what the threat was, or what the law allows. The only question that matters is: Who was the victim politically? Take Ashli Babbitt. For years, a loud faction on X has insisted her death on January 6 was a “cold-blooded murder.” The facts, inconveniently, never seem to matter. Babbitt was inside a restricted area of the U.S. Capitol, attempting to climb through a broken window into a barricaded hallway where members of Congress were being evacuated. An armed officer stood on the other side, gun drawn, repeatedly warning her to stop. She continued forward anyway. In most other contexts, X assures us, this is exactly the sort of situation where police are justified in using deadly force. Clear warnings. A secure location. A perceived imminent threat. An officer pointing...

“Run ‘Em Down!” and Other Hot Takes From the Highway to Hypocrisy

In the grand digital amphitheater known as X (formerly Twitter) and its many echo chambers, a new political philosophy has officially been codified: if the traffic’s blocked, just motor-murder your way through it — and feel free to post about it with pride. Yes, that includes folks who, until very recently, might have balked at the idea of anyone using lethal force in a peaceful protest… unless, of course, someone waved a camera or socioeconomic grievance in their face. The “Right of Way” Doctrine A certain faction of posters has taken to the interwebs to loudly proclaim that any protester blocking traffic ought to be treated like a pothole on the interstate: flattened, removed, and mourned over coffee later. They argue, with admirable consistency in their outrage, that: Civil disobedience = obstacle Obstacle = hazard Hazard = run it over your civic duty In their view, a protest sign is just a more pretentious version of a traffic cone, which — according to folklore and state law...

Trump Vows to Bomb Iran for Killing Protesters, Praises ICE for Doing It With “American Values”

WASHINGTON — President Trump escalated tensions with Iran this week by warning the U.S. may attack Tehran if Iranian authorities continue killing protesters, describing the alleged crackdown as “barbaric,” “unthinkable,” and “the kind of thing only bad countries do.” The announcement came just days after a fatal incident in Minneapolis in which an ICE officer shot and killed Renee Good , a woman whose death has sparked widespread protests and intense scrutiny of federal enforcement operations. When asked whether he saw any irony in threatening Iran over protester deaths while his own enforcement agency is at the center of a similar controversy, Trump reportedly stared at the reporter like they had just suggested gravity was a liberal hoax. “There’s a big difference,” Trump explained. “Iran kills protesters wrong. We do it right. We do it the best.” “Iran Protesters Deserve Freedom. Ours Deserve Consequences.” At the press conference, Trump again positioned himself as an international...

“Protesters Adopt ICE Tactics: Mask Up, Open Carry, and Stand Their Ground — Because Nothing Says ‘Reform’ Like Copying What You Protest!”

In an unexpected twist on America’s protest playbook, thousands of demonstrators outraged by recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics — including the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis — have decided the best way to fight ICE is to be ICE.  Yes, you read that right. Across major cities — from Seattle to Miami — protest organizers marched Friday, shouting “If they mask, we mask! If they brandish, we brandish!” as they embraced a strategy that political analysts are calling “performance art meets legal theory.” A Method to the Madness According to the newly minted National Protesters’ Tactics Handbook (Volume I: “If You Can’t Beat ‘Em… Dress Like ‘Em”) , any group protesting ICE must now: Wear tactical masks — a nod to federal agents’ penchant for anonymity. Open carry firearms where legal — because nothing says peaceful demonstration like walking into a rally with an AR-15 and a sharp sense of irony. Invoke “Stand Your Gr...
