WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Accusing the West Virginia senator of “collaborating with the enemy,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell angrily announced Joe Manchin’s expulsion from the Republican Party.

“Joe Manchin’s behavior during the past twenty-four hours has shocked and dismayed his fellow-Republicans,” McConnell told reporters. “He has gone over to the dark side.”

McConnell said that Manchin had “traitorously” broken with the G.O.P. leadership by “consorting with Democrats.”

“If Joe Manchin thinks his party will forgive him for this betrayal, he is sorely mistaken,” he said.

The party leader said that “what hurts the most” is that Manchin agreed to a deal that mitigates climate change and lowers health-care costs. “He no longer deserves to call himself a Republican,” he said bitterly.

I think "National Christians" is too wordy. That should be tightened up a little bit, don't you think? How does "Nat C's" sound?

I use "Jesus weasel" to differentiate Trump drunk Christian hypocrites from the living examples of the principles, f.i., Jimmy Carter.

The problem is that canonically Ariel’s bottom half is cod, whereas in this new trailer she appears to be half mahi-mahi—yet another example of the Left’s “woke” anti-whitefish agenda.

Ketanji Brown Jackson Bravely Infiltrates Shadowy Alt-Right Group
By Andy Borowitz

September 30, 2022

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Carrying out a mission fraught with danger, a woman named Ketanji Brown Jackson has bravely infiltrated a shadowy alt-right group with a menacing agenda.

Although there reportedly are two other like-minded moles already embedded in the organization, Jackson will find herself surrounded by extremists bent on destroying many of the tentpoles of American society.

The group, garbed in black robes, meets in secret behind closed doors in the nation’s capital, experts believe.

Having already plotted to destroy women’s bodily autonomy, the group is currently scheming to eliminate voting rights and marriage equality, as well as to hasten the spread of military-style assault weapons across the country.

Harland Dorrinson, a former Navy seal, hailed Jackson’s courage. “I was behind enemy lines in Afghanistan and Iraq, but I am in awe of what she’s trying to do here,” he said.

It's a fake, no truth in it at all. In fact, it began its (fake) existence in Belgium and some enterprising soul decided to "emigrate" it to Canada.

Sorry, Rob, you'll have to look elsewhere for an excuse for a little Muslim bashing.

WAY TO GO QUEBEC........
MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CANTEEN MENU... EXPLAINS WHY
Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of
a Montreal suburb.
The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval, has refused, and the town clerk
sent a note to all parents to explain why...
“Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec, its
customs, its traditions, its way of life, because that's where they chose
to immigrate.
“They must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in
Quebec.
“They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not
the Canadians who so generously welcomed them.
“They must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic,
they accepted many immigrants before Muslims (whereas the reverse is not
true, in that Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants).
“That no more than other nations, Canadians are not willing to give up
their identity, their culture.
“And if Canada is a land of welcome, it's not the Mayor of Dorval who
welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole.
“Finally, they must understand that in Canada (Quebec) with its
Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals,
religion must remain in the private domain.
The municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and
Sharia.
“For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in
Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them
under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms in
accordance with Sharia.
“If you left your country for Canada, and not for other Muslim countries,
it is because you have considered that life is better in Canada than
elsewhere.
“Ask yourself the question, just once, “Why is it better here in Canada
than where you come from?”
“A canteen with pork is part of the answer.”
