Donald Trump did not actually get shot because his ear regenerated too quickly

No, he did not get shot... His ear is fully recovered... Have you seen pictures of his ears? A closeup of his ear currently? Evander Holyfield's ear has not regenerated. Trump is totally fine.

The FBI and medical reports confirmed Trump was struck by a bullet or fragment during the assassination attempt.

Ronald Reagan would likely be the best U.S. President at performing oral sex because he was 'taught by the best' in Hollywood

What president would suck the best dick? James Madison. Yeah, definitely. Well no. What about silver tongue Lyndon B. Johnson? Wouldn't it be Reagan? 'cause he's been taught by the best. Oh yeah, true. I think he's the best at getting head. Well maybe Clinton. Actually Obama, right?

Purely subjective and historical speculation.

The Russian Wagner Group rebellion was a PSYOP intended to dupe Ukraine

It was a PSYOP for the market. There was a PSYOP. Okay, Putin's Gucci. He just did that whole thing to make Ukraine think they could take back Bakhmut and then they're gonna do a pincer move on him... They were able to move troops under the guise that they're doing a coup. And now Ukraine thought they were going to Moscow, but now they're just North [of Bakhmut].

While confusing, the mutiny resulted in the death of Prigozhin months later and significant reorganization of Russian military structures, contradicting the 'fake coup' theory.

The United States should bomb the outback of Australia just to show we're still crazy

We need to bomb somebody. Not that we really care. Some open area. Like the outback of Australia. Nobody lives there. Kangaroos. Fuck up some kangaroos. ... Just to show [Russia], look how fucking crazy we are.

This is a satirical policy suggestion, not a factual prediction.

The Suez Canal ship will be bombed if it is not fixed within a week

Eventually they're just gonna have to blow it up. Eventually someone's gonna launch a missile at it. Take it apart piece by piece. They're gonna drop a bomb on it if it's not fixed within a week. That's my prediction.

The ship was successfully refloated six days later without the use of missiles or bombs.

Undecided voters deserve to be pushed off a building

If you're an undecided voter you deserve to be pushed off a building. If you don't know who you're going to vote for, do they exist? If you're an undecided voter tweet at us and let us know because I'm so interested in how you put on a hat in the morning without giving yourself a concussion.

This is a purely hyperbolic and satirical opinion.

The US national debt is essentially just a Bobby Bonilla contract that we have with China.

How the national debt works is that... whatever we owe to China's like our bookie and they basically are saying we'd rather you just keep playing then try to collect all this money... We have a Bobby Bonilla contract with the nation of China right now. We owe them a certain amount of money... every single year, as long as we keep those it's going then we can keep betting against the spread.

This is a humorous metaphor and cannot be evaluated as an actual economic fact.

Marlins Man is likely joining Donald Trump's legal defense team because top firms are rejecting him.

My theory is that I think that Lawrence Levy, Marlins Man, is joining the Donald Trump dream team because Trump can't get any more lawyers to represent him. He's been rejected by like five or six of the top law firms. Marlins Man's probably number seven or number eight. And if I was in a tough spot and I needed somebody on my side to just like harass my opponent until they got so annoyed... I'm going to Marlins Man probably first.

Rodney Harrison is appropriating white culture by deciding who is 'black enough'

Hitler was the interim head coach of the fatherland

Back in 1933, the German President Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler Chancellor, which roughly translates to interim head coach of the fatherland. And he ruled for four years under the title of temporary chancellor until they could find a turnaround expert to bring in.

Build a wall around Washington D.C. instead of the border

A wall is not going to keep people from invading our country at all. What we need to do is we need to actually build a wall around Washington, D.C. to keep everybody in. We tell them, hey, we're building this to protect you from invaders and immigration. But in reality, we've got them right where we want them and where we can keep an eye on them. And then all of us on the outside get to do whatever the hell we want.

Satirical counter-proposal to Trump's border wall idea (which was dominating the 2015 campaign). Instead wall in the politicians. Classic libertarian-flavored PFT satire.

Ray Nagin spent New Orleans' electricity budget on drive-through daiquiris and bribes

Mike Ditka would have beaten Obama in a debate by pulling out a Super Bowl ring

To be a fly on the wall at those debates would have been all time. There's no way that Ditka loses. No chance at all.
