1. Outstanding

Simply outstanding

[Leghorn21]

2. This is THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. end of friggin message, man.

No, wait - Pacifist Patriot, this is...the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life!!!

THANK YOU!!

[brush]

61. Come on, folks. It's not real. It's a nice Photoshop job. An OP here just criticizing trump for...

dummied up Time covers of him displayed at his golf course clubhouses.

The last person we want to copy is trump.

[FSogol]

69. Whooosh!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

83. One word says it all.

There are animated gifs, but probably enough.

[brush]

88. Whoosh? We should be doing the same thing as trump with fake covers?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/28/politics/trump-time-magazine/index.html

[Mickju]

106. Yes, whoosh. As in it went right over your head.

[brush]

112. Yeah, right. Don't flatter your powers of deduction.

It went over no one's head.

You missed the point.

We can do better than trump. Why dignify his egotistical dummied up covers as being worthy of mocking by doing our own dummied up covers? Where's the originality in that?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/28/politics/trump-time-magazine/index.html

[Chemisse]

108. It's fine to make a fake cover as a joke and post it on DU.

It's clearly NOT fine to make one that is boastful of oneself, then hang it up all over the world and pretend it is real.

Surely you can see the difference.

[pangaia]

72. REALLY? It's fake?

Coulda fooled me.

[Pacifist Patriot]

74. Wow, do you really think a single person here thinks it's real?

[brush]

89. Why are we doing the same thing as trump with fake covers?

[Pacifist Patriot]

91. I'll defer to her response below.

And question why you think this is remotely the same thing at all. One is narcissistic misrepresentation and the other spoofs the heck out of that.

[brush]

90. I hope not, but that's not the point

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/28/politics/trump-time-magazine/index.html

[Pacifist Patriot]

99. Yawn

It wouldn't be DU without at least one person pissing on humor to cope with this nightmare we find ourselves in. Your turn at the plate?

[brush]

113. We can do better than trump

[Pacifist Patriot]

118. I can assure you we do better than Trump every second of the day.

To equate this joke with his behavior is revolting, just stop please.

[Lioninjuly]

122. Bravo

Spot on.

[rzemanfl]

125. Welcome to DU. n/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

126. Welcome to DU!

[gopiscrap]

127. welcome to du

[gratuitous]

76. Clearly fake

Any legitimate news outlook would have referred to Clownface von Fuckstick. Glad you were here to catch that, brush!

[PelicanScot_V3]

77. Au contraire. I did not use Photoshop.

For the record it was entirely done on befunky.com. As for copying Trump, I highly doubt he has the skills to have done that fake cover himself. And since this was intended as satire and not for public display in TheFerret's hotels and country clubs, I think it's safe to say, it's not really copying Trump. So there.

[Leghorn21]

85. PelicanScot_V3...you are just...tremendous. Very, very tremendous, believe me. And I

love the yuge response you're getting here today, 'cause it means DU knows frickin talent when we see it!! Welcome to DU, you!!

Now, we all have our favorite TheFerret noms de plume, so may I just say that mine is, from May 30:

*Cheeto Broderick Crawford

(*Fuck you. YOU try making up all these nicknames every fucking week)


(...I just had to get that in here today, dammit!)

Again, SO many heartfelt "welcome to DU"s are being sent your way!

[Amaryllis]

86. Did you check with THe Ferret to see if he intends to display it in his hotels and country clubs?

He may want to do that. It is an excellent representation of his unique brand of humor. One might even think you colluded with him on it. But if you were truly copying Trump, you would deny that, even if it were true.

[brush]

95. Why even acknowledge trump's egotism? Of course he had the covers done.

No one thought he did them.

[PelicanScot_V3]

98. I'm utterly mystified as to why don't get the satire, but whatevs

[NCTraveler]

81. Not fake. I just picked up a copy at my local news stand. nt.

[rpannier]

110. Was the Hidden Benefits of Golden Showers as good as I am hoping?

[rpannier]

109. You mean the Hidden Benefits of Golden Showers isn't a real story???!

I am deeply saddened
So Sad

[GallopingGhost]

3. This gets five stars

for laugh out loud funny!

[PelicanScot_V3]

4. Excellent homage!

[Pacifist Patriot]

5. Must give credit where credit is due. My sister came up with this.

[flibbitygiblets]

22. Give your sister a big hug from all of us. Made my friggin week!

[PelicanScot_V3]

29. I take cyber hugs too. :-)

[SaveOurDemocracy]

46. Welcome to DU! This is most excellent, please keep gifting us with your...

...creativity and wit. Thank you for the laughter.

Many hugs ~~

[furtheradu]

63. Thanks for this! 💖

Well done!

[malaise]

65. Most excellent

[Amaryllis]

87. Cyber hug to you and your sister!

[pamela]

93. Welcome to DU!

Nice to meet you. Great job on the cover.

[Hortensis]

28. Notice she didn't include any exclamation points, though.

I think that's a fake!

[smirkymonkey]

41. Nor did she make extravagant use of the word "tremendous".

Obviously counterfeit.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. This is highly appropriate and very funny besides!

Yay for DU and TheFerret!

[nocalflea]

7. Ferret doesn't look rabid enough.

[niyad]

8. excellent!!

[iluvtennis]

9. LMBO

[octoberlib]

10. Baron Golfin von Fatfuk

[GallopingGhost]

23. And I. P. Freely!

[jberryhill]

11. Might I inquire as to what are "Candycorn skidmarks"?

Part of me wants to know.

Another part of me dreads knowing.

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. LOL! Just one amongst many creative nicknames

https://www.democraticunderground.com/~TheFerret

[PelicanScot_V3]

17. It was a tossup between Candycorn Skidmark and Marmalade Shartcannon

[TheFerret]

27. I confess...

...Marmalade Shartcannon is my favorite.

[PelicanScot_V3]

84. The funniest thing is...

There's a woman in my office who is convinced I am TheFerret. (I write really snarky internal memos from time to time and she knows I'm capable of letting the F-bombs fly). I've got her hooked on you. She gets in to work half an hour before I do and the days you post, I always have an e-mail from her letting me know to go read it.

[Useless in FL]

15. LOL!!

[procon]

68. I have this disturbing image... visualize this; candycorn is orange, just like Trump,

and Melania is his wife. A man with such small... um, hands, would have trouble aiming and choke on the approach, if you get where I'm going?. Unable to find the goal, he tends to leave behind multiple 'skidmarks' until he finally locates the target and homes in. Thus,"Candycorn skidmarks".

[Marie Marie]

12. Looks more real to me than Trumps self-tribute.

[PelicanScot_V3]

14. Indeed it does!

[NewJeffCT]

54. I would not have a problem with anybody making a fake Time cover

as a joke/prank and then showing it to your friends/co-workers. Heck, if Trump made a fake Time cover just like that one and showed it to Melania and Ivanka as a joke, I would be fine with it, as long as he said it was a joke afterwards and he tossed it in the recycle bin a week or two later.

However, making a fake Time cover and then putting it on display in all of your offices and resorts around the world for EIGHT DAMN YEARS is just really bizarre.

[Marie Marie]

94. Agree!! But then we are in the bizarro-world of an insane narcissist.

[denbot]

117. It is a facade.

Because tRump is a facade.

[DLevine]

16. Now that is awesome!

[TheFerret]

18. Wow!

Blushing my face off, that's effin' hilarious!

[Control-Z]

79. I'll never think of you the same

now that I've seen a real life picture of you. Not at all what I had imagined. No sharp teeth? No foam at the mouth? Mind. Blown.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

19. K&R nt

[JHan]

34. "Mein Covfefe" ....your sig

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

25. Needed the laugh!

Great job

[mnhtnbb]

26. That is just brilliant. Somebody tweet that cover to Baron Golfin von Fatfuk, PLEASE!!

And be sure to copy Little Miss Pearls for her "fake news" archives.

[ismnotwasm]

30. Hahahahaha!

Ok, now that's awesome 😎

[C_U_L8R]

33. People are saying...

... there's a champagne popsicle centerfold

[Pacifist Patriot]

36. It's scratch and sniff too.

[PelicanScot_V3]

38. OK, that made me LOL and everyone in my office just turned to look at me.

[JHan]

35. lol

[Moostache]

37. Send copies to Mar A Lago...stat! (n/t)

Well done!

[Adrahil]

43. That's a better fake than Trump's. NT

[cate94]

44. Thanks for the laugh!

This is perfect!

[Gothmog]

45. LOL

[Duppers]

47. Excellent!!

Great job! Thank your sis for me.

DU has brought smiles today - this and the thread on Arkansas' smashed 10 Commandments.

[H2O Man]

48. Recommended.

Thank you.

[red dog 1]

49. K&R!

I especially love the headlines:
- "Inside the Mind of Baron Golfin von Fatfuk" by Scary Thoughts
- "The Hidden Benefits of Golden Showers" by I.P. Freely

(That ferret is cuter than the one thrown into The "Dude"s bathtub in The Big Lebowski

[oasis]

50. The Ferret is tops in my book.

[PelicanScot_V3]

57. I've been worshipping from afar...

... so figured I owed a little something for all the laughs.
This opportunity was just too perfect.

[oasis]

59. Ya done good!

[BumRushDaShow]

51. !!!

[sinkingfeeling]

52. Looks less fake than 45's framed ones.

[47of74]

53. They should put this up

[Donkees]

55. ''This is HUGH!!11!''

[MontanaMama]

56. THANK YOU!

You won the day PelicanScot_V3!! Thank you for posting this Pacifist Patriot! This is why I love this place.

[dixiegrrrrl]

58. Trump also has a fake Emmy! Seriously.

Your serve...........

[PelicanScot_V3]

66. Oooo, that's going to be trickier...

I'm a 2-D arts kind of person.

[dixiegrrrrl]

80. Well, I applaud your TIME cover.

Looks better than Donald's fake.

[Sugar Smack]

60. I love this!

Well done, Pacifist Patriot's sister!!
And you for posting it.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

62. bwaaaHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

OMG, this is The BEST!!!!!

Tooooooo Hilarious!!!!!


Baron Golfin von Fatfuck......that's it. That is the perfect name. 🤣 ROFLMAO 🤣

[Borchkins]

64. Brilliant!

[The_jackalope]

67. Out-fucking-standing!

A great homage to great humour.

[Louis1895]

70. But you forgot the UPC barcode!

Step 5 of this tutorial shows where Trump got his. Plagiarized from Obama again!

https://leoamoretti.wordpress.com/2010/08/06/its-time-for-another-photoshop-tutorial/

[PelicanScot_V3]

75. That was actually intentional...

I read an article about what was wrong with Trump's fake cover and took steps to avoid some of his glaring errors. Hence the avoidance of exclamation points as well. If you do a Google image search of "Time Magazine Covers" the majority of them don't have barcodes.

[Louis1895]

115. Great work!!

I really enjoyed your efforts!

[calimary]

121. Welcome to DU, PelicanScot_V3!

Did you create this?

Got a big fat GUFFAW outta me! Glad I didn't have a mouthful of hot tea when I first saw this pop up on my screen!

[Docreed2003]

71. That's brilliant!!!

[pangaia]

73. HALIBUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HALIBUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!






More fish !!

82. Yes. I saw that issue on the newsstand just, uh, well, let me see.... NT

[Equinox Moon]

92. "...By I.P. Freely"

Awesome creativity!

[Auggie]

96. CLASSIC! K&R!

[bora13]

97. hollyhood blv

my question is, what are people doing to the t-rump star on a daily basis?
i want to see some real live action around that.
he probably has a secret service guy standing guard
over it like it's the white house version of the "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier."

[nolabear]

100. Okay who's up for taking them to all his properties?

[judesedit]

101. Too good. Ferret forever. Keep us informed in your funny way

It helps a hell of a lot.

[Ilsa]

102. EarlG needs to make this the DU cover Right Fucking NOW!

Really, for at least the next two days, IMO.

[Maynar]

111. Yep!

It's only right.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

103. Best post I've seen evah on DU in my 9 or so years.

[bleedinglib]

104. No dis-respect !!

to Ferrets !!

[LAS14]

105. Yay!!! Not fake, right?

[Grassy Knoll]

107. Fantastic Job!!!

Thank You.

[spanone]

114. a classic.

[Shandris]

116. I've got to post just because that Ferret is so damned cute!

I'll toot my own babies' horn a bit by saying he looks just like my Lord Tooth, but that's just cuz Tooth is a sexy beast.

Ferret Powa!

[VOX]

119. Hot damn! Hahaha! That's brilliant!

First-rate! Thanks so much for the laugh therapy. Laughter releases heart-healthy nitric oxide, so don't hold back!
Cheers--

[Enoki33]

120. Sure the humor helps us survive the pain and disgust. It also

puts a value on trump. Ironically 'fake news' accurately defines him.

[KPN]

123. Excellent! Congrats TheFerret.

[lunatica]

124. Very creative!

[tblue37]

128. Very funny! is there a site where you make these mockups, or are you just that good? nt
