3. I would hate to work for the Onion these days

in order to get to caricature and sarcasm, one has to evoke totally impossible exaggerations of the people you are ridiculing.

But that simply is not possible with Trump and his minions.

Example -
Onion Story Title:
Stephen Miller Rewards Self After Day Of Speechwriting With Trip To See Children In Local ICE Detention Center

would anyone really be that surprised if Miller actually DID this?

( I posted this to another thread about the current Onion )

4. The article itself - funny but chilling because it's not so far off

from the way Miller seems to think:

WASHINGTON—Saying the outing was a well-deserved treat for laboring on President Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address, senior policy advisor Stephen Miller reportedly rewarded himself Tuesday with a trip to see all the children at a local ICE detention center. “I’ve been putting in some pretty long hours, so it’s nice to unwind a little at the Immigration and Customs facility watching all the kids held indefinitely in federal custody,” said Miller, who stopped outside a cramped 6-by-8 cell to smile warmly at a set of scared, parentless 7- and 8-year-old Mexican siblings, adding that the tear-streaked faces filled his heart with joy. “It’s so gratifying see those trembling little chins and reddened eyes filled with palpable fear. I love listening to those tiny whimpers and sobs. So cute. God, this place is amazing. I really haven’t had this much fun in a long time.” At press time, a reflective Miller was fondly recalling that unnecessarily detained, mistreated immigrants were the reason he got into politics in the first place.
