Trump Forced to Sell Prized Collection of House Republicans

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Drowning in debt, Donald J. Trump has been forced to unload his treasured collection of over two hundred Republican congresspersons.

“If the Joe Biden legal system can make me sell my politicians, it can make you sell yours,” he warned supporters at a rally in Michigan. “This should never be allowed to happen in this country.”

But even as the indicted businessman put his used legislators on the block, economist Davis Logsdon, who tracks the resale market for public officials, questioned how much they will fetch.“The first thing any prospective buyer of preowned politicians wants to know is, what condition are they in?” he said. “Unfortunately, many of these House Republicans are missing such crucial features as brains and spines, and, in the case of the men, two other parts.”

The economist cited the cautionary example of Koch Industries, which had to withdraw Rep. Matt Gaetz from eBay in February after he drew a top bid of $30.

Sell tickets and let buyers make selfies with the furiously ousting Johnson. Of course it's sarcasm, we run a legit joint here.

people need to be investigated further, to determine if and what role they played on 1/6. If they participated, then BOOM, get rid of them. But, I don't have any faith in Garland anymore. So, we'll suffer knowing that some of these idiots did in fact, help tRUMP to try and overthrow the valid certification of the votes on 1/6.

China, Russia, Iran, and just about every other American adversary actively root for the GOP and support them in every way. That cannot be a coincidence.

My jaw drops every time I look at who is using Substack - but I certainly get it. Wonkette said that after being with Substack a minth they experienced the first payday in I forget how long that they didn't have to worry and wonder how they were going to meet it.
