It is more of a "nailed it" reaction than a "ha ha" reaction.

However, I do love how good satire can present reality so clearly that pretty much anyone can see the truth. That is a real talent and Tom Tomorrow is exceptionally good at it.

The "scary migrant caravan, heading for the border" is spot-on. They pull that out whenever they want to divert attention from some story that makes Hair Furor look bad, which means "often."

As a matter of fact, I fully expect to see a scary migrant caravan forming at this very moment. Time to check Fox Noise.

MAGAts wouldn't understand it. It's coded so only Democrats get it.

...Trump sure misspells "stolen" often enough. In fact, I have several screenshots of that particular Trump malapropism, saved to my flash drive file--"Trump misspellings and grammar"--as they have appeared here at DU over the years.

Mmm, stollen...
