[del]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The raging controversy over Confederate statues has impelled Betsy DeVos to Google the Civil War, the Education Secretary confirmed on Thursday.“People have been going on and on about the Civil War, and I was like, Betsy, what the heck are they talking about, exactly?” DeVos told reporters. “After a certain point, I decided I just had to Google it.”
DeVos said that she was glad that she Googled the Civil War, calling it “an extremely fascinating chapter in American history that people need to find out about.”
“Like President Trump has been saying, the Civil War had sides to it,” she said. “Although I don’t think it had many sides. I only counted two.

Doctors Close To Cure For Butthurt Disease

After decades of research and development, Naval scientists say they are within reach of a cure for Butthurt Disease, more commonly known as BHD.

“With BHD the rectum gets so inflamed it essentially swallows the rest of the body, making that person an actual, giant $#@!,” said lead researcher Doctor Yvette Diaz. “Thus, the puckered frowny-face and $#@!ty attitude.”


According to sources at the Center for Disease Control, BHD is highly contagious and does not discriminate among the ranks, affecting nine out of ten military members throughout their enlistments, often repeatedly.

Posting satirical stories and expressing negative opinions of political figures is not trolling. Responding to a thread with just "tds" and "c" or "c student" is pretty trollish, though.

LOL America is a comedy today. Trump refilled the swamp, actually it could be said he made it a bigger swamp. Monied interests are happy in swampland. The DeVos family is a large part of swampland, read 'Dark Money'. I am curious what Bannon will do now as I think from his economic nationalism he sees swampland. I am not sure what his war will be on, I'm gonna check Breitbart more often to see. Americans must wonder, if they are are awake, just how much money they are paying the Trump family today? see article below. Enjoy the swamp folks but watch those mosquitoes. No golf here.

"Conflicts of interest have been a defining trait of the Trump Administration. The President has not only refused to release his tax returns; he has declined to divest from his companies, instead putting them in a trust managed by his children. Questions have emerged about the ongoing business ties of his daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who, since Trump took office, have reaped nearly two hundred million dollars from the Trump hotel in Washington, D.C., and from other investments. Although Trump promised to “drain the swamp,” he has assembled a Cabinet of ultra-rich Americans, including two billionaires: Betsy DeVos, the Secretary of Education, and Wilbur Ross, the Secretary of Commerce." http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/20...-on-washington

One of Mussolini's slogans was "Drain the Swamp!" Trump even stole that.
