    Pence accused of taking Trump's Coronavirus tests FOR him!




    WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Borowitz Report)—In a scandal that threatens to upend Donald Trump’s Presidency, a new book accuses Trump of paying Vice-President Mike Pence to take his coronavirus tests for him.

    According to the book, “Swapping Swabs: Trump’s Pandemic of Lies,” when the subject of being tested for the virus first came up, in March, Trump started casting about for a “good test-taker” to substitute for him.

    Trump considered several candidates for the ruse, including his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and the Attorney General, William Barr, but ultimately settled on Pence, who agreed to take the tests for the fee of twenty-five dollars per result.

    Reportedly, Pence initially balked at the proposal, expressing concern that it “would look bad” if the truth about his taking Trump’s coronavirus tests came out, but Trump brusquely shut him down.

    “I’ve never taken my own tests, and I’m not going to start now,” Trump allegedly snapped.

    LOL! Of course he did. The only person they left off the list is Putin.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    There was a time when we appreciated Borowitz for the fact that his brand of satire was based on current issues. These days, it could all be fact. As seen in this thread, many can't tell the difference.

    Who can't tell the difference? People are laughing because it's funny satire. Who here doesn't know the Borowitz is satire?

    Usually there's at least one or two per Borowitz thread who take it seriously and bellow "FAKE NEWS!!". And another one or two like Tahu think WE believe it.

    This is hilarious. Borowitz sometimes comes up with some good stuff. Of course it makes it better when idiots believe it.

    Only an idiot would believe that.

    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    Yes. The funniest thing is Pence's compensation for doing it; $25 per test.
