CBO: Majority of July’s Record 119 Billion Deficit Went Toward Hushing Hookers

 

The Congressional Budget Office released July’s deficit numbers and, in the immortal words of Warren Zevon, it ‘aint that pretty at all. On top of the usual tax cuts and heavy spending, the CBO is also tracking what the president is climbing on top of. Hooker Pay Offs, Hush Money, and Prison Hits were not even spending categories prior to President Trump taking the reigns, and, if leaked images prove accurate, the Ball-Gag and Leash categories as well. Head of the CBO, Bob Excel, said, “Paying off hookers has only managed to escort our deficits all the way to the proverbial Penthouse. See what I did there? It’s kind of like an ouroboros, or a snake eating some hooker’s tail kind of thing …uh, and then the necessary billions to make the problem slither away. We’re attempting to lower costs by keeping some of these executive escort services in-house, but Ivanka is not returning our calls.”

The Images From The President’s Recent Shootorama That They Don’t Want You To See

Dayton Someone—The Discord has obtained exclusive, Photoshopped images of the president’s recent mass shooting twofer. The pictures were apparently leaked to the internet, before they were downloaded into an older and more affordable version of Photoshop where they were altered by a crazed-liberal hack. These images now depict the president in seemingly more offensive activities that …oh, who am I kidding? The stuff he actually did was way worse.

Prison Official: Epstein Was Taken Off Suicide Watch And Placed On Suicide Unwatch

New York, NY—A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Correctional Center, Skip D. Rounds, told the Discord today— Oh, before we go there, there’s some new business I’d like to address. The New York Times posted a scathing article that claims: “Epstein’s death unleashed a torrent of unfounded conspiracy theories online.” The Daily Discord is demanding a full retraction at this hour. They must absolve today’s feature as well as yesterday’s Pulitzer-worthy coverage: AG Barr Blames Epstein’s Death Behind Bars On Epstein-Barr.

AG Barr Blames Epstein’s Death Behind Bars On Epstein-Barr

Washington, DC—The Justice Department has both opened and closed the case on the death of accused sex-trafficker and socialite, Jeffery Epstein. AG William Barr ordered the Inspector General to open the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s suspicious death while in federal custody and then finalized the report, in what many are calling an orchestrated effort to end the Justice Department’s inquiry, roughly seventeen minutes later, to coincide with a presidential tweet on the same subject.

Trump’s School Teacher Grilled Over Possible Bribery Allegations: “How Could You Possibly Pass Him, Mrs. Magaluso?”

Queens, NY—After a heated exchange, the competency and possible criminality of president Trump’s grade school teacher is under scrutiny at this hour. When the retired 87-year-old teacher, Mrs. Magaluso, was questioned as to whether or not she received payment for allowing the current president to graduate elementary school, she clearly dodged the question by changing the subject to her family’s coveted (or covfefe) lasagna recipe. Refusing to let this old fish wriggle off the hook, The Discord’s own Alex Bone pressed Trump’s former teacher further by asking the question: “What did you know, Mrs. Magaluso, and when did you know he didn’t know it?”

Police Release Sketch Of Accomplice In Garlic Festival Slaying

Gilroy, CA—Several witnesses describe a morose, heartless throb, who both helped last week’s Garlic Festival shooter enter the park and then partied until dawn, effectively frying our coveted vampire genre *cough*. I’m being told I need to be more specific, because not one but two mass shootings have occurred while this was waiting patiently in The Discord posting queue. Fine! The California one, which occurred before the Dayton/El Paso twofer. See?! It’s not too soon, because lots of other horrible things have happened since I wrote this shit, aka put a stake through it already! This nation is toast and our vampire genre is on borrowed time!

If This Is The Best Liberals Can Muster, I’m Writing In Ralph Nader

The Liberals are simply not up to the task of slaying this Donald Dragon. It’s becoming increasingly apparent they don’t have the required smarts, charisma, historical knowledge, or testicular fortitude to get the job done. If the Dems are Rogue Squadron, it’s like we left the hangar doors closed with the X-wing engines running for too long. In early May I took my shot at what I felt was the best duo to save our democracy. That’s not hyperbole, folks, we are on the edge or ruin. Our state of the union is akin to that moment when Wile E. Coyote no longer has any rock, ledge, or wooden plank between himself and the canyon floor, but gravity hasn’t quite kicked in yet. My so-called “dream ticket” back in May was met with an abundance of scorn and ridicule in comment-thread land. When Politico ran with that same Biden/Harris ticket, about a week later, Kamala responded by calling such a suggestion sexist. Really? Having the ‘rebel scum’ fighting amongst themselves is just what the Empire wants. No one is nominating me for Veep, and offhand I seem a whole lot savvier than you, prosecutor. In related news, police are now permitted to use of the Vader-mind chokehold on minorities. Harris is not the only disappointment; Biden admitted he didn’t even read the Mueller report. I expect that from Republicans, who are opposed to learnin’ stuff in general, but it’s an embarrassment for a leading Democratic contender to admit as much.

Shock Poll: This Week’s Drunk Delta Pilot Pulls Ahead Of Trump In Head-To-Head Matchup

Minneapolis, MN—Delta pilot, Gabriel Schroeder, is all smiles today. Shortly after being booked by Minneapolis Airport Police for attempting to pilot an aircraft drunk, the 37-year-old found himself surging in national presidential polls. Schroeder was arrested just before take-off at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after TSA agents became suspicious when the Mad Dog 2020 he was carrying had a worm in it. “He usually only smuggles on worms in tequila for domestic flights,” explained TSA supervisor Pat Downy.

After A Contentious First Round Tonight’s Debate To Include ‘Cone Of Silence’ Feature

 

Amidst last night’s edgy debate two clear and separate factions of the Democratic party have emerged. Many feel such heated exchanges are not suitable for all progressives and could emotionally scar viewers and participants alike. Under pressure from the Democratic National Committee, CNN has agreed to alter their format for tonight’s debate to accommodate these concerns. Moving forward if a participant becomes frightened by any mention of a potential segregationist, misogynist, racist, or by someone believed to have seen a Mel Brooks film in a theater, they can take a brief timeout to collect themselves, get some snacks, or even grab a shower. CNN is also working diligently to install real-time ‘cone of silence’ technology that can descend over the heads of those offended in the hopes of blocking out potentially trauma-inducing viewpoints and ideas. Home viewers are encouraged to hover a finger over their volume control or mute buttons.
