Announcement:  The Babylon Bee To Shut Down As There Will Be Nothing To Make Fun Of During The Perfect Trump Administration

There are so many wonderful things about Trump, but his one flaw is he is not good for comedy.  A smoothly running, efficient administration that does what it says, fulfills its promises, and abides by a strict code of ethics simply provides no worthy targets for valid satire.


What are we supposed to do - make fun of Trump when he closes the border and ushers in a new age of prosperity?  What about when he [..]

Well, the Babylonbee has been failing at satire for some time now, so they might as well become an actual news agency.
