Lifestyle: A Look into the Romantic Escapades of Vladimir and Donald
Paris, France
Everyone’s favorite white house couple, Vladimir and Donald, announced last weekend they were off to a romantic vacation in Paris to commemorate a successful election season. “It’s a break I’ve really been needing,” Trump informed sources, gently snuggling into Putin’ shoulder as he did so, and occasionally stealing a kiss. “His company always lightens my heart.” Vladimir was relatively silent, but Donald assured reporters he was simply a “quiet boy.” “Shy boys have always been my type,” he joked before boarding the plane. The Assorted Veggie tracked their vacation -- the two visited a variety of luxurious bars, and of course toured the Louvre and the Eiffel tower. Every night involved working themselves through a barrage of media for a bit of alone time, but that didn't fend the reporters off for more than a day. Donald spoke to reporters nearly every morning, red faced. “He always gets me to open up about myself. So many secrets between us. It's wonderful.” He kissed him on the forehead, and Putin smiled eerily. "Yes," he said, "wonderful."
Vast majority of population supporting Net Neutrality through sheer fear of Bing, study finds
U.S
Due to recent developments regarding the abolition of net neutrality and public backlash, the Assorted Veggie decided to conduct a nationwide survey to track the reason users support neutrality. It revealed at least 97% were terrified of a search engine called “Bing” loading faster than Google. What was so menacing about Bing? We asked a local man from New York how he felt. “Bing is kind of like the racist aunt at Thanksgiving who says she isn’t racist so often it kind of cements the fact that she is, indeed, racist,” he explained in an eloquent analogy. “”When you try really hard to make something seem like it isn’t uncool it’s probably pretty uncool.” The Assorted Veggie, unwilling to provide to our valued readers a one sided report, decided to interview Bing employees. “No one needs net neutrality,” commented a publicity manager at the company, “when you have net cool - al - ity!” He then proceeded to turn his cap the other way and wink for a reason we do not understand, for we did not have any camera nearby and neither did any other major media outlet.
FBI Director had gall to honestly investigate all issues, political ideology aside
Washington D.C, 2023
On an average day, Comey, the former FBI director, allegedly properly did his job -- according to reporters, he “combed through every scandal at the white house, DNC, and GOP, leaving no stone unturned.” “It was despicable,” commented Trump, when approached by the Assorted Veggie. “Soon all of us are going to be hearing things like ‘the sky is blue’. Okay Mr.Perfect, that’s great and all, but everyone wants the sky to be fuschia, and that’s what it’s going to be.” Pence sided by the President on this one, agreeing, “everyone was poor till we all agreed $1 actually meant $1,000. Our economy is skyrocketing. Aggregate demand is through the roof.” In fact, it could quite literally be, since the White House was missing one. When questioned about the perplexing missing roof, Pence clarified it had been something called a “bombing” -- which Trump corrected quickly to the occurrence we are all familiar with -- “large popcorn.” The Assorted Veggie, curious as to what Comey had done with himself since the firing, attempted to question him at his home. However, at press time, he was far too busy reading something called a “book.” The Assorted Veggie investigated deeply, but unfortunately, could not recover any definition for the odd, likely outdated contraption.

Religious Freedom Order really expands freedom of setting limits on other people’s freedom

On May 4th, 2017, Trump signed into law an executive act expanding religious freedom, and everyone championing the American ideals of liberty for all cisgender, straight, christian, abled, white but preferably not Spanish or Irish men across the country rejoiced. “It’s just not everyday you get to see the white male get to have a say in how the country is run,” shrugged Sean Spicer, Trump’s press secretary. “We’re always discriminated against, pushed on the back burner, because everyone’s busy talking about women and LGBT and all that hullabaloo -- finally, we’ve got a president actually listening to us.” The religious freedom act allowed all people across the country the freedom to bar other people’s freedom in all sorts of locales, including schools, employment, and government agencies. “An important part of my religion,” detailed Mike Pence, vice president,, “is that I’m much better than everybody else. It’s with the deepest feeling I am capable of -- mild pleasure -- that I congratulate Trump on this momentous achievement.”

Local Republican Experiences Shock at First Sneeze of his Life
Washington DC
"I just didn't believe this to be possible," sniffled Mike Pence, bed ridden for the first time in his life. "This isn't supposed to happen to good people!" Mike Pence was one of the many republicans applauding the American Health care act that passed the House last Thursday -- an act meant to punish, as Paul Ryan put it, "those who have sinned." "I mean," sobbed Mike Pence, on further questioning. "I can see one of those gays getting sick. Or maybe one of those despicable women having sex before thirty - four. But me?" He hung his head, presumably bursting into tears. "I'm not sure what the big deal is," shrugged a local poor person. "It's not much of a punishment, in my opinion. I've always rather wanted the sweet embrace of death." The Assorted Vegetable. however, was not going to take only a couple of sides for questioning. We called up God, who surprisingly, allowed us an appointment at 7:30. When asked how he could possibly have time for this sort of thing, he shrugged and answered, "Well, people just don't seem to want me to save lives that much anymore. It's cool though. I've been watching Netflix." Later sources confirmed that Pence had been denied healthcare on the basis of his age, and was relying on prayer to cure himself. Unfortunately, a really good show was on, and God didn't notice.
