**The only object Jesus made was a whip?  
Would this be considered tax evasion?**

_“And Jesus went into the temple of Big Government, and cast out all them that harassed honest patriots with garnishments and liens, and overthrew the desks of the I.R.S. agents, and the seats of them that sold payment plans, And said unto them, It is written, You will collect nothing in my house; but get out ye den of thieves.”_

- John 2:99.77.64

\*\*Alternatives to buying Greenland

Cats  
\*\*

Yes, rather than trying to buy Greenland, we should try to persuade The Orange One to invest in Cats.

Unlike Greenland, cats are definitely for sale. They’re much more cuddly and warm that Greenland. Their purchase is not controversial. This might even get people to like him more.

In any case, Trump is the first president in umpteen years who doesn’t own a dog\*. He needs a White House pet.\*

\*Your political joke goes here.
