    “I just bet it makes Mr. Trump feel real good to know he’s got somebody out there on his side. Like, he’s up in that magnificent home of his, and he’s thinking, ‘Man, I’ve got it all, but it’s nothing compared to what Mr. Crenshaw has done for me.’ Because it turns out, he knows me! He knows my name! He’s even got a picture of me on his desk. Me! Little old Joshie Crenshaw! And just thinking about that makes me turn off the car engine and open the garage door and know I’ve got a reason to face another day.”

    I didn’t expect that sudden turn at the end

      The Onion goes dark real fast. Fortunately that suits my sense of humor.

      What’s really funny is all the Trump campaign emails they send you. I only signed up for them because it was a requirement for snagging free tickets to far right events (So someone who actually wanted to go can’t… leaving empty seats)

      Many of them say things like “Anon, Trump named you personally as his top contributor. Send us 9001 dollars for an autographrd Trump hat. He is counting on your support, yes, you specifically”

        It sounds like the perfect target group for such scammers. I like the idea of taking up space without actually using it. I wonder how much they’d be secured against automated registrations

      Yeah that got pretty real. The ideation of political criminals is the only things keeping these people going? That’s worrisome.

        We broke the record in suicides this year, so people are clinging to whatever scraps they can.

        It’s a bit frightening how my reaction to many onion news is just mild surprise because it seems a bit more outlandish than usual but still something I won’t write off as not-true immediately because there’s just been to many things that seem too ridiculous lately
