I didn't even register this as satire until I opened the article. The headline is just too believable.

Not believable at all because I've seen it with my own eyes and know it to be true.

I know this is from "the hard times" But I don't know if it counts as satire when I literally know people like this -_-

Politics aside, the quality of this satire is about as bad as something the political right could have scrambled together
