By The Wasted Onion: DOJ Releases Unredacted Epstein Files To Distract From Iran War

WASHINGTON—In what appears as the Trump administrations most desperate attempt yet to shift public discourse away from the ongoing U.S.-Israel war against Iran, the Department of Justice has released a slew of unredacted documents part of the Epstein files. "As part of our ongoing disclosures regarding the deceased child sex offender and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, I am announcing today that I have ordered the Department of Justice to immediately release over 2 million files fully unredacted for the public to view on the DOJ website," said Attorney General Pam Bondi. "We encourage the American public to spend as much time as possible perusing the trove of documents, we also heavily encourage journalists to solely focus on dissecting every little detail they can. Luckily there isn't much else for you guys to talk about right now. So c'mon, please discuss these new files with your friends, family, neighbours, co-workers, pets and the voices in your head!" Bondi also encouraged Americans to extensively spend time reading fully unredacted testimonies that implicate President Trump in a series of sex crimes against children, saying that "who knows, maybe you'll find a little nugget of information that proves once and for all that our great president did indeed fuck kids." At press time, panicked Republican lawmakers began floating the idea of beginning impeachment proceedings against Trump in an effort to distract from the Iran war.

By The Wasted Onion: Democrats Support Bill To Rename Highway After Charlie Kirk Because It Kinda Funny

COLUMBIA, SC—Erupting into an intense debate in the South Carolina House of Representatives Monday, Democrats supported a resolution that would rename a portion of highway 76 to the "Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway" after claiming that it was kinda funny. "While members have the deference to name stretches of roadways in their respective districts, this decision is fucking goddamn hilarious to many South Carolinians particularly in the Black community," said Representative Hamilton R. Grant (D-SC) while laughing at photos of "Kirkified" memes on his phone. "I was inspired by Charlie Kirk my entire life. I looked up to him. I listened to his work every single day. So his passing affected me deeply and profoundly. Wait, guys, I really need you all to stop laughing or I will cry," pleaded Representative Luke Rankin (R-SC) as he pouted and attempted to hold back tears. Reactions to the resolution advancing to the South Carolina Senate were mixed, with many residents believing the renaming of the highway would be a sober, powerful tribute to the conservative activist, while others were snickering and excited to let out a good cackle at the pretty funny idea of renaming a road after Charlie Kirk of all people. At press time, inspired by multiple states introducing bills to rename roads in honour of Kirk, Senate Republicans were considering introducing a bill that would make the AI-generated song "We Are Charlie Kirk" by Spalexma the official national anthem of the United States.

By The Wasted Onion: MAGA To Change Name To ‘Kool Kidz Klub’

MANHATTAN, NY—Announcing that the the political slogan was falling out of favour with its base and the general public, the Trump Organization announced Thursday that it was planning on renaming the U.S. president's political movement from Make America Great Again (MAGA) to Kool Kidz Klub. "After much careful consideration and consultation with some of the most prominent individuals part of the presidents patriotic movement to Make America Great Again, it has been decided by both the Trump Organization and the White House that MAGA no longer correctly serves the purposes of this great movement. With that in mind, we are encouraging our MAGA patriots to begin adopting the new shorthand of the Kool Kidz Klub, abbreviated as, uh oh, um," said a spokesperson for the Trump Organization before panicking and rushing off to the nearest closet. "As we all know, President Trump has been famous for his excellent naming skills, from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to Operation Epic Furry [sic], the president has once again made an excellent naming choice in rebranding his powerful MAGA movement for the ever evolving times in our great nation," said Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Following the announcement, the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, associated with Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr., was also planning to be renamed to New Awesome Zombie Infections. At press time, Trump administration officials were seen scrambling to revert back to MAGA branding after realising that associating the president with a slogan that has the word "kids" in it is likely a bad idea.
