Trump: Decision to Consider Women Humans Should Be Left to States
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Attempting to repair some of the fallout from his recent remarks about women, Donald Trump said on Sunday that the decision of whether women should be considered humans should be left to the states.
I wouldnt want to tell Texas whether women are humans, for example, he said on CBSs Face the Nation. They obviously have some very strong opinions about that.
When asked point-blank whether he considered women humans, the billionaire responded, It should be a case-by-case thing. ..............

your gut explodes in laughter to relieve the intense pressure before your head explodes.

(2,872 posts)3. I keep forgetting Borowitz is a humor writer...
Might be because I don't see nearly enough of his work, though.

Iunno what it is, but the Onion's just lost some of the magic it used to have for me-- I need a stellar satirist in my life. Satire typically drags me out of my own bullshit long enough to laugh, which might as well be just a big ass celestial on/off switch that hard resets the whole machine.

Is when it's so close to the truth you have to really think about it.
This qualifies.

My BP spiked. Jesu, it is utterly believable that he would say something like that...because he cherishes us so much.

I swear that when it comes to Drumpf, The Onion & Borowitz are non-fiction.
