WASHINGTON — In a stunning instance of miscommunication between departments, ICE agents have deported Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro back to Venezuela just hours after he was abducted by the DEA.

“ICE is simply doing its job and keeping America safe from world leaders,” said a defensive Kristi Noem. “I don’t know how the liberal media is trying to spin this, but Maduro is a bad hombre. He is a dangerous man, has known ties to drug cartels, and has absolutely no legal right to be captured in the United States. Adios, buster!”

The move has been met with strong criticism from the rest of Trump’s cabinet, most vocally from RFK Jr., who reportedly had high hopes that Maduro could “Hook it up with some Molly.”

This is a breaking story, and we’ll have more as it develops.

cuddle Don't feel bad!

If it makes you feel better at all, you're actually not the first Hexbear user I've spoken to today who wasn't familiar with the site and thought it was a real news article. Like I said in my other comment, for a second I thought it might be real too, but then I checked the site and I was familiar with it as satire publication so I knew it was fake. It says a lot about AmeriKKKa that this seems plausible to many of us.

Thanks comrade, I feel a bit better. The lines between satire and fiction has been blurred a lot recently and it made me think about that documentary called Hypernormalization. Care-Comrade

Our community is overdue for another round of contending with our ironic tendency. It is at a level that is weakening the site, IMO. There is a positive feedback between doomerism and ironic "gallows humor" and see need to reduce both before we burn each other out.
