You forgot to mention that Routh was just out there hunting cats.

Fine work on deadline, Lew. Forget Deep Throat. You have best sources in journalism.

I'm new to your Substack and believed the whole thing. Satire is harder and harder these days. Tom Lehrer once said something like when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize I had to stop making comedy. Little did he know.

As crazy as the world gets, I think there's still a tiny crack where you can squeeze the satire in. It's a matter of pinpointing the absurdity and shining a light on it. Is that a mixed metaphor?

Governor of Utah even? And coming in through the Haiti/Mexico border? That would be very interesting. That's what we should do. Send the orangeman to the Haiti/Mexico border and see if he can find his way back to Venezuela so he can hang out with Maduro. Or even to Palm Beach to try to find Melania in New York. Delicious. Thanks for the laughs.🤣🤣🤣

I know this is satire, but I swear it sounds completely plausible, especially the last graf with the Trump quotes.

Plausibility is what I've always made my highest priority, whether writing satire, news or porn.

Oh man, yeah, I kinda thought this was real up until Melania, that’s when I knew this is satire; she would never want to find him, she doesn’t care enough

One of your very best. Laughed out loud through the whole thing.

Great shot of the fat fuck out on the course. Probably gives himself 1-2 mulligans and foot wedges on every hole while his party casually looks the other way.

The "photo" is AI-generated. But yeah, probably.

Did Trump really say that last paragraph?

I wish this was funny.

The man is sadly deranged. To put it in simpler terms, he’s suffering, but his family is suffering more. Please stop. 💙

Good job. Although I suspected for a moment that you were using AI, I mean, what else could come up with a name like Gerald Pushling?

Wow Lewis, that’s true. I guess some women are the same.

ok, I’m going to be mean. Why does DJT wear that tight white shirt; it makes him look really fat without the cover of the long red tie.

Most men don't know how they look. We just keep wearing the same styles and sizes we always have.

Hysterical. Loved the Gov of Utah and Melania’s call!🫶🫶
