Ripping the Headlines Today - Paul Lander, Humor Times

Making fun of the headlines today, so you don’t have to

The news doesn’t need to be complicated and confusing; that’s what any new release from Microsoft is for. And, as in the case with anything from Microsoft, to keep the news from worrying our pretty little heads over, remember something new and equally indecipherable will come out soon.

Really all you need to do is follow one simple rule: barely pay attention and jump to conclusions. So, here are some headlines today and my first thoughts:

Ivanka Trump’s Chinese-made scarves recalled because they’re incredibly flammable

So, even a Trump’s scarves can inflame a situation.

Also, FBI reopens Kennedy Assassination after Hillary emails found on Ted Cruz’s dad’s cellphone.

Luckily, the clown was able to get away in a car with 40 other clowns.

At this point Hillary must want to kill the person who invented emails. That’s right, I’m talking to you, Al Gore.

Really disappointing everyone when he returned.

Angelina Jolie had to endure a 4-hour interview with the FBI

Most of the time was spent with her listing the names of her kids.

Although, it does feel like he’s cheating on Dunkin Donuts.

Oops! Trump mistook a black supporter at his rally for a protester and called him a ‘thug’

Well, Ben Carson is a little scary.

Happy 69th Birthday, Hillary Clinton

Don’t forget to send the Republican Party a thank you for the gift of nominating Trump.

In fairness, there’s lots of stuff Kendall doesn’t understand.

While Hillary showed off hers during the debates.

“Shark Tank” star: Trump rated my breasts during a business meeting

I do have to admit, that’s a nice rack on Mark Cuban.

See, that’s what happens when you only use a right wing.
