Nancy Mace Called Me Retarded On Twitter

Nancy Mace called me retarded on Twitter. What a majestic compliment for my comedy:

(To finish my joke that got cut off in her retweet: “to reverse their votes on releasing the Epstein files.”) Nancy Mace’s Internet literacy is bad because she obviously didn’t catch the joke, and didn’t do a second of Internet due diligence to at least check my profile and read my bio which is very clear I write satirical Dada News, and that I don’t report the facts — I improve them!
I very much enjoyed reading the comments on her post because lots of people dunked on her for retweeting a comedian, as well as criticized her for using the R-word… and for being a US Representative who tells a bunch of fellow citizens to rot in hell. I’m still laughing about the exchange today, and if I can just get Trump to call me an “enemy of the people” before he dies or is locked up in prison and restrained with a straightjacket my satirical legacy will be fulfilled and I can die a happy anti-fascist! There is no higher honor than being insulted by the worst people in government.
I’d like to briefly remind you that Nancy Mace has had 100% turnover of her staff, the highest of any member Congress, who all seem to have negative things to say about their experiences working for her. Her staff have called her “toxic,” “clearly unwell,” “abusive,” and expressed discomfort in how much she “loves talking about sex.”
The best part of this is that my joke is, like, 99% literally true anyway — my tweet was a great example of my “halfway real news” parody style. If you were Trump’s lawyers, WOULDN’T YOU be concerned about his constant efforts toward obstruction of justice, covering up crimes, and witness tampering? And if your job was to defend Trump in court, wouldn’t you be concerned about people recording him? Trump’s lawyers being “worried” about his conduct is hardly a fictional claim!
For context, Trump even brought Lauren Boebert down to the Situation Room while trying to pressure her into dropping her support for the Epstein Files discharge petition, a room where no phones or digital devices are allowed for recording purposes. How sketchy is that?! And it reportedly backfired because Boebert left that meeting more sure than ever that a conspiracy to protect all the pedophiles was afoot. Great work, Donald!
Also, my tweet is hopefully manifesting a good idea into reality! Why is EVERYONE not recording every conversation with Trump? Especially now! He throws everyone under the bus, he has no guilt backstabbing his allies and friends, and he lies about everything to the point his lawyers meet with him in pairs. And Trump is such a soulless, transactional bully that it makes sense for the people around him to collect their own blackmail against him to defend against the inevitable blackmail he’s certainly hoarding on them!
I love how Mace spells out “retarded” but then adds an asterisk in “shit.” Stay classy, Nancy. A bunch of people in the comments took offense to her hard R-word, and called her ableist, and it is pretty unbecoming of a member of Congress. To be an elected federal official and not catch on that the R-word is an uncouth and uncivilized word to use is really something.
I also love how Mace recommends Trump sues me. I think right now Trump has MUCH bigger legal and political problems than a joke by a random comedian online! 😈 But, also, how could he sue me? Wouldn’t the discovery process necessitate him, Mace, and Boebert going under oath and publicly admitting what exactly he said to them? I think I could crowd fund a legal defense to get Trump under oath on this. Trump can’t help himself but lie about nearly everything, not to mention his dementia is getting really bad, so it would be legal malpractice for his lawyers to let him be deposed! He’d commit perjury a hundred times!
Also, the Supreme Court is pretty clear that satire is protected by the First Amendment. In 1988 the Supremes voted unanimously that satirists have a First Amendment right to accuse televangelists of banging their moms in outhouses in full-page parody ads in national magazines. Surely my joke is less “emotionally distressing” for a fair game public figure like the President of the United States! America is land of the free for satirists, baby!
Still, I must give Mace credit that she did not rescind her signature from the Epstein Files discharge petition. On that Trump phone call she could have taken some bribe or promise of Trump’s campaign help in her ongoing campaign for South Carolina governor, but she has stayed committed to outing the rapist pedophiles. Thanks, Nancy, even if you do think I’m retarded lol.
