The Onion escalates President Trump’s already aggressive use of memes and AI videos on social media, such as his recent wielding of religious imagery against Pope Leo, by imagining AI Trump fornicating with a basketball. The fun of the article is the addition of absurd details, like the basketball emblazoned with the word “America” and AI Trump yelling out a different country every second. The confusion over the video heightens at the article’s end, as a pantless AI Trump dunks the same basketball over Jesus Christ. 2.

In this SNL sketch, Charles Barkley interrupts the March Madness chat to make the surprisingly salient point that he hopes that the war in Iran will end soon, because “war is turrible.” Barkley has a way of saying that word. He continues to chime in with his political views instead of opinions about basketball, such as being happy Pam Bondi was fired, or how weird Kristi Noem’s husband looks in those pictures with him having balloons in his shirt. And the segment surprisingly ends with Kristi Noem herself joining the basketball show, talking about how much she misses working in…

Desi Lydic makes fun of Donald Trump attending the Supreme Court on a birthright citizenship case, as she assumes the President must have fallen asleep during the session. She also pokes fun at the judge’s opinion on a ruling that blocked Trump from building a ballroom at the White House and its 13 exclamation points, saying it sounds like one of her fun workplace emails. The piece ends with a fake commercial for a ballroom attorney, who only takes cases involving the right to build them. It’s a mix of enthusiastic examples of ballrooms, and expressing regret for picking such…

In a fun move, the British government hires a teen influencer to coach Starmer through his emotions. Starmer’s eventual voicemail to Trump references fun memories like “Remember when the whole cast of Friends went to England?” The Onion takes tensions between Trump’s America and NATO to a logical extreme, as Trump thinks the global community isn’t pulling their weight in…

Hegseth Iran Presser Cold Open – Saturday Night Live SNL portrays another Iran press conference, and this time Colin Jost’s Pete Hegseth hit such diverse pop culture references as Papa Roach and Sebastian from “The Little Mermaid,” and his Jamaican accent, all while acting like a frat bro. During Q and A with the press corps, Hegseth shows off his chops as “White Hamilton” by rapping about his drinking.

1. Biden Asks Why Trump Didn’t Just Bomb Ayatollah In The Leg – The Babylon Bee The rapidly increasing military aggression against Iran by coalition forces led by the United States and Israel always seemed like it was always going to be difficult for satirists to make light of. The strategy of The Babylon Bee is to deflect it into a “Joe Biden is a confused old man” joke. The metaphor of a cop who could’ve avoided killing a suspect by shooting him in the leg instead of the head, and tying that to where on his body the now…

State Of The Union recap – The Daily Show In their thorough recap of the President’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, Feb 24, “The Daily Show”’s Desi Lydic makes fun of Trump for saying how great the country is doing now, before he describes in visceral detail all the injuries that people have suffered in recent tragedies.

Troy complained that if Trump was “giving awards to a woman for her good parallel parking,”…

1. Political Profile: Pam Bondi – The Onion The Attorney General of the United States has some biographical factoids in this satirical profile from The Onion.

Trump Replaces Pam Bondi With Broom In Blonde Wig – The Babylon Bee The Babylon Bee satirically looks into Bondi’s future, where the blonde AG is replaced by a broom wearing…

1. Support For ICE Skyrockets To 99% After Super Bowl Halftime Show – The Babylon Bee According to the “Conservative Onion,” political consensus in favor of deportation has solidified because the halftime show wasn’t a “traditionally American” one. “Where’s the cheerleaders?” one fictional onlooker said. “I don’t know what they were saying, but I don’t like it,” another satirical viewer said of Bad Bunny’s Spanish-language singing. Although this is heightened satire, it does seem to capture the sentiment of at least some conservatives. 2.
