You’d be wise to stop for me. I’ll be a national hero for defeating fascism with satire.

It's horrible that in Trump's America, a USA Men's Hockey gold medal can end up bringing disgrace on our country.

It’s a national treasure because everyone (except Elon) goes to gawk at the obscene excess that led to decapitations and revolution. #ElonisDUMB

Reminded me of overstuffed sci-fi comedies of the 80s: full of audacious and silly ideas, where you appreciate the things that make sense with "that's brilliant," and dismiss the things that don't with "it's just a comedy."
