Mark Meadows evidently used an address where he’s never lived for voter registration.

I thought that was Bannon’s job. Or did the livestock object to his lack of personal hygiene?

From a bunker deep below the Kremlin.

Commander Offonov: General Ivanonvitch, Nagurskoye airbase has just been attacked by two stealth aircraft coming from the north over the arctic.

General Ivanovitch: Prepare ICBMs and target Washington DC we will teach those American Dogs not to wake the Bear.

Commander Offonov: Wait general, although due to their stealth capabilities we were unable to track the aircraft, we caught a stalite image of them. They match the profile of an F22 but they have what appears to be the Chinese flag hastily painted on their wings.

General Ivanovitch: Chinese swine! Belay that last order and nuke Beijing instead.

It could have been suggested we paint our planes with the sickle and star so we could sneak into Russia and kidnap Putin.
