Under breaking news, “ **Trump blasts DA Bragg and Stormy ‘Horseface’ Daniels** ”. Way to give his inane rantings air.

Shouldn’t they be obligated, in a perfect world, to refer to him in a headline like that as “Captain Mushroom Dick”? Captain Mushroom Dick and Horseface make sweet extramarital fuck.

These sorts of headlines are a joke. Check out a similar one from Newsweek:

> **[Donald Trump could be sentenced to more than 100 years in prison](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-could-sentenced-more-100-years-prison-1792487)**
>
> The former president will face 34 class E felonies for falsification of business records for the $130,000 payment of hush money to Stormy Daniels.

And as a source…

> Donald Trump could be sentenced to more than 100 years in prison if found guilty of the over 30 charges of business fraud in the indictment from a Manhattan grand jury for which he’ll be arraigned on Tuesday in New York, according to attorney Lisa Bloom.

> Bloom, who’s known for advising Harvey Weinstein and then admitting that working for the scandal-ridden Hollywood mogul had been a “colossal mistake,” tweeted on Tuesday that each charge against Trump could carry a possible prison term of four years.

But then buried at the end of the article…

> Most experts looking at the case against Trump expect the chance of Trump actually serving prison time if found guilty close to zero.

But hey, that’s not an **EXCITING HEADLINE** people want to see.

Okay, I will not stop laughing over this forever. 🤣 😂 🤣 Thanks so much, and I am officially announcing the forming of heavy metal punk bluegrass band called Captain Mushroom Dick. We’re from a woodsy area. 😃

I really do wish the truth of the allegation of his affair with Daniels was a legal issue here, because I’m picturing a court exhibit with a court ordered dick pic of Trump next to a picture of the mushroom character from Mario Kart, as a team of lawyers spends a day arguing over the similarities and differences.

I would lose some major weight. Just a glimpse of that thing would put me off my feed for a long time. Imagine having to sit through a whole day or more of testimony with a big poster of it? It would be inhumane. 🤢 ewwww!
