Unreal.

‘misinformation under the guise of comedy’?

Try Saturday Night Live. Or the old Daily Show.

Except the Bee is actually funny.

I thought Twitter’s network was shut down for some time, Ishtar after they censored the story.

More proof that all humor is truly conservative. Lefists are SO INCREDIBLY humor-impaired. And they call us straight-laced.

In other news, the NYT claims that Rodney Dangerfield was a liar because he actually was respected.

The crap that flows from the NYT sewer is, like the Bee, untrue, but it is not funny at all.

You always know what the Left is about by what they accuse others of doing.

My attempt at humor re the Hunter Biden emails:

Here’s how the Russian disinformation got onto Hunter Biden’s computer. As far as I can guess, it must’ve been something like this:

1) Hunter Biden puts his computer into a repair shop.

2) Knowing this through their extensive spy network, and wanting to help Trump win the 2020 election, the Russians break into the repair shop and steal Biden’s computer without the repair shop noticing.

3) Then the Russians add what looks to be real emails that are very incriminating to both Hunter and Joe Biden, but are really just bogus. They also see some of Hunter’s collection of kiddie porn but take no action other than to make copies for themselves.

3) The Russians return the computer to the repair shop, again without the repair shop noticing.

4) The Russians, knowing that if Biden doesn’t pick up the computer it will become the property of the repair shop, use their extensive spy network and slip a “forget it drug” into Hunter Biden’s drink at a fancy cocktail party which makes him forget all about the computer.

5) At about the same time, the Russians, again through their extensive spy network, slip the repair shop owner a “remember it drug” into his beer at a backyard barbeque party.

6) The repair shop owner remembers that the computer Hunter Biden had left for repair some time before has now been abandoned and realizes that it now belongs to him, so he looks at the content of the computer. He sees the kiddie porn but also sees the bogus emails that smell to him a lot like corruption at a very high level. But the shop owner is merely a useful idiot to the Russians, not a sophisticated journalist from the New York Times who would have immediately realized the emails are bogus.

7) The ever-watchful Russians then slip an “idea drug” into the shop owner’s next beer, and so he decides to let the FBI know about the kiddie porn and contacts Rudy Giuliani about the emails.

8) Rudy Giuliani, being an operative for Donald Trump, the Nazi president who the Russians helped steal the 2016 election from our dear Hillary, contacts the New York Post, an unsophisticated far-right newspaper which publishes the bogus emails as fact.

9) The Russians slip “Sit on it drugs” to everyone in the FBI. (Added by FReeper, Scrambler Bob.)

I think the left is irony-impaired, as a general rule

They don't like to be laughed at, that's for pretty damn sure.

You know panic when you see the Grey Lady getting all hot and bothered about what is clearly a satire site.

I loved how first CNN, then other biased and Fake News sources like the NYT have attempted to take on the Babylon Bee. I can’t wait to see the resulting satire the BEE responds with.

Good satire has an element of truth and the left cannot stand any truth that doesn’t fully support their lies.

I quit reading articles posted at F.R. from satire sites when management said they must be labeled as satire. That took all the fun out of it for me.
