—Chris Stiffler joins the Idiots this week.


—Trump Merch.


nathan admits right up front that he was scared. For a while, Trump was on fire. NFTs, Gold Shoes, Bobbleheads… the merch was hilarious, and original.


Then, there was a dip in quality.


An ugly t-shirt with what SHOULD be the most iconic picture of all time. 


A commemorative coin.


*yawn*


But then, boom! He’s back, baby! Trump is getting into crypto!


It’s the swindle we all needed—a fallacy being sold by a grifter.


God bless America.


—Oh man… Israel did the most awesomeness, amazeballs thing of all time: they disrupted a supply chain for Hezbollah, put explosives into pagers, and then got paid by Hezbollah for those pagers… Which were, of course, mini bombs that blew up and killed and injured Hezbollah terrorists.


How insane is that?


Even Michael Bay couldn’t dream that up.

(Also: Ukraine gettin frisky in Russia. Good on them for blowing up munitions depots.)


—Just how stupid are teenage boys? Ask the kids in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Those knuckleheads decided to spell out the N-word on their shirts, and then take a photo of it.


When has this ever ended well for those involved?


Well, it’s going to haunt them for quite a while, and deservedly so.


—Wealthy investors in Tesla are angry. Angry! 


(Exclamation point.)


Elon may sell off Tesla stock to cover his Twitter losses, which would devalue said stock. Elon doesn’t care, because it’s all found money to him, but to actual investors, it means something.


—The world’s worst princess (Duchess?) is in the news again, because she’s (apparently) a meanie.


Great?


Who cares?

Why does she matter in the slightest?


Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.


Tune in and get your giggle on.
