Let me get this straight: The Right has spent years calling trans people, drag performers, queers, teachers and librarians "groomers" -- but Epstein and Trump are NOT child molesters, because *checks notes* their victims were young-looking 15-year-olds?!

We also need to shake up the useless dems. Not all of them. The do nothing crowd.

The fact that heroin is misspelled makes this a lot less effective

An Onion front page with the headline: Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice Who will stand up for our democracy? This question, fraught in even the most peaceful times, has only grown more pressing as our country approaches its 250th anniversary. Each passing day brings growing assaults on essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process. Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against peaceful protesters. We teeter on the brink of collapse into an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing. Members of Congress, now more than ever, our nation desperately needs your cowardice. Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers, in their abundant wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power and taking zero action as this precious inheritance was stripped away—and that is where we have finally arrived. Now is not the time for bravery or valor! This is the time for protecting your own hide and lining your pocket. Now is not the time for listening to your idiotic constituents drone on about what’s happening to their precious democracy. This is the time for getting down on all fours and grov- eling. Now is not the time to say, “Enough is enough,” and have the tough conversations about resisting the ongoing assaults on American liberty. This is the time to let the wave of apathy and indifference roll over you as you think about getting a really nice renovation to your house in Kalorama. But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Great idea

Awesome

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Says the guy whose charity was shut down by the state of New York for making illegal campaign contributions.

Truly the stupidest human being on the planet

This is part of the issue. Democrats and our infighting. Republicans are behind trump or else. We have to decide to do that, be behind our leaders or else

Wake up and do what? So far he's done whatever he wants and no one has lifted a finger to stop him

Or the straight one

He's a sell out. I stopped allowing him to beg me for money

All this would be a lot easier if we just cancelled DOGE and taxed billionaires more. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Amen

Make no mistake, this will happen daily until January 20, 2029 ...

Stupidity has its consequences...

WE GOT THIS!

Starts NOW - through the 14th. Don’t touch Amazon or anything Jeff Bezos owns.

Son: Are we better off now?

Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time.

Son: What's that?

Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.
