Republicans Defend Trump's Decision to Give Putin Office Space at White House

[Zorro]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a sign that Donald J. Trump’s control over the Republican Party is now complete, congressional Republicans on Thursday defended his decision to give the Russian President Vladimir Putin office space at the White House.

A newly emboldened Trump told reporters that he had furnished Putin with a corner-office suite and secretarial staff to use whenever the Russian President is in town. “He says he plans to be here more and more,” Trump said.

Putin, who moved file boxes into his new office on Thursday afternoon, said he looks forward to many productive hours at the White House with few, if any, interruptions. “At the Kremlin, people are always sticking their heads in my office, asking me questions,” he said. “President Trump just spends all day watching TV.”

At the U.S. Senate, a visibly angry Senator Lindsey Graham called allegations that there was anything improper about Trump giving office space to Putin “totally unfair, disgusting, and vile.” “Vladimir Putin has worked harder to run the U.S. government than all of the Democrats in Congress put together,” Graham said.

1. Some of these headlines you guys post...... whooooooooooooo

I go into them half thinking is this going to be Borowitz/The Onion or did that fraud somehow manage to do exactly what's in the headline. For the 130th time since yesterday "I can't wait until this guy is gone".

This is not an easy time for humorists because the government is far funnier than we are.


You can't make up anything anymore. The world itself is a satire. All you're doing is recording it.
