Can there be any more reliable source for the fake news we all depend upon than the Babylon Bee?


"LOS ANGELES, CA — As has become the standard operating procedure for the military branch over the last half-century, 700 members of the United States Marines found themselves being deployed to yet another third-world country that is full of hostile foreigners.

In this latest deployment to a non-English-speaking wasteland, the Marines were supremely confident that they would be able to handle the marauding hordes of foreign nationals, despite the inhospitable conditions presented by the rubble and destruction of the surroundings.

"Same thing, different day," said Sergeant Heath Parsons. "We know the drill. We train and prepare until the day when our number is called and we have to report to save the world by traveling to some third-world hell-hole to confront foreign hostiles. We're used to it at this point."

Though there had already been some skirmishes in which Marines clashed with the angry natives in the area, the presence of the U.S. Military had already had an impact on the war-torn region. "You can catch little glimpses of what this place used to be like," said another Marine. "It's part of our job as Marines, in addition to being prepared to fight, to bring a little bit of hope with us from the United States to show places like this what life can be like under better circumstances."

Some of the foreigners cautiously welcomed the Marines, while others remained combative when faced with English-speaking Americans.

Another wag the dog moment for Trump to cover up for his colossal failures as President. Jan 6 was an insurrection and Trump did nothing. As a matter of fact he pardoned his crew of criminal thugs.

National guard troops have better things to do in life than watching people spray graffiti and throw bottles and rocks.

Oh, come on.

There were no guns, no generals waiting to stage a coup d'etat, no plans to overthrow a thing.

Pelosi's daughter was filming a documentary, and her son-in-law was photographed with that shaman dolt with the Viking horns on the steps.

It was a bunch of partisan people who foolishly felt they could affect DC, which they couldn't (no crowd can, or even should).

Fast forward to California where the governor (hair gel Newsom) is defying federal authority, which is the actual definition of an insurrection, and Democrats lie and dub it peaceful...

So Trump deployed 700 Marines to LA for what? To guard government buildings from spraying graffiti on the walls and breaking windows? This is a classic police state clusterfuck with one moron to rule them all.

How come Trump isn't sending troops to help Alabama with their soaring murder rate which is triple that of California? I suppose stuff like that happens when you are a red state that is governed by a washed up football coach. And a nation that is "governed" by a washed up failed casino operator.

The Marines aren't doing jack. It's another waste of taxpayer dollars along with Trump's stupid parade. The only thing the Marines did was to take some guy into custody when went under the yellow tape to get his govt benefits.

Looting and vandalizing government property on Jan 6 is what aggrieved unemployed and lost middle aged white men who are losers love to do. Where was the national guard when the deplorables were storming the Capitol building? Oh....wait, Trump ignored the request to get the National Guard involved.

There were no guns, no generals waiting to stage a coup d'etat, no plans to overthrow a thing."-Dishonestjohn describing what he considers to be an "insurrection" when talking about Republicans literally breaking into the Capitol, defying federal authority and literally trying to stop Congress from carrying out its Constitutionally mandated duties

"Fast forward to California where the governor (hair gel Newsom) is defying federal authority, which is the actual definition of an insurrection, and Democrats lie and dub it peaceful..."-Scumbagforbes describing what he considers to be an "insurrection" when talking about Democrats who had no guns, no generals waiting in the wings to stage a coup d'etat, and no plans to overthrow a thing.

Dishonestjohn is literally comparing a protest against a single Administration immigration policy (not against the government as a whole as johnny is pretending) of rounding up immigrants and illegally deporting them without due process. Dishonestjohn is literally saying that Americans have no right to protest a single government policy without it being "the actual definition of an insurrection". Utter nonsense.

Of course, the very definition of every protest is to "defy government authority," especially when it is an illegal policy.
"a public expression of strong disagreement or disapproval, often organized to oppose something. It can be a statement, an action, or a series of actions meant to show dissent, objection, or opposition."
Even the marines now deployed against American citizens on American soil are OBLIGATED to disobey illegal orders from authority without it being labeled "insurrection."

But to this day johnforbes has the audacity to claim it is not an insurrection if people literally physically attack the Capitol, the Congress, and the police with the aim of closing down government functions, taking over, and controlling the entire governing body of the country as long as the only weapons the mob is armed with to carry out their attack do not include "guns." Wielding other kinds of deadly weapons is just fine by johnforbes and relieves the mob of the label "insurrectionists". How can anyone ever take such a cartoonish clown seriously?

We all have absolute proof that looting and destroying federal property is what Republicans love to do, and they literally do it with impunity (pardons) and the support of johnforbes because they have the support of a Republican president.
