WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump on Friday capped a busy week of diplomatic activity by naming the former Alaska governor Sarah Palin the United States Ambassador to Nambia.
By naming Palin to this diplomatic post, the United States has become the first nation in the world to formally recognize Nambia’s existence.
In a joint appearance with Trump at the White House, Palin acknowledged that she “didn’t know a lot about Nambia” but said that she was looking forward to receiving a comprehensive briefing on the nation’s history, culture, and customs from the Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos.
“Then it’s Nambia, here I come!” Palin exclaimed.
In a sign that Palin’s appointment was a popular move, a new poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans support her permanent relocation to Nambia.

1. I love good satire

[Gothmog]

2. Here is how Trump sold her on this appointment

16. Wow, an actual image for a [real] alt-fact!

If you made this up, then huge KUDOs for your talent. In any case thanks for a nice image.

3. I'm no fan of Palin, but I do indeed support her moving to Nambia

She can't leave soon enough. As I couldn't find any direct flights to Nambia, I suggest we get her a one-way ticket to Lilongwe, Malawi, and promise to reimburse her for the last leg of the trip on to Nambia.

8. I'll bet Price or Munuchin can find her a flight

[DFW]

11. Now THERE'S one perk flight I as a taxpayer would be pleased to subsidize. n/t

[PJMcK]

13. As long as she goes away...

...I don't care where she is if she'll just shut-the-fuck up.

[DFW]

14. I care!!

If it's anywhere with an internet connection or a microphone, it's too close

[erronis]

17. As long as she can see Russia from her back deck.

Maybe Donnie would like to stay there too. He could feast his eyes on Put's Pects and grab him some Palinussy at the same time!

[DFW]

18. At least

That way, they'd all get what they deserved.

[First Speaker]

4. I thought he named her Ambassador to Narnia...

...I think Nambia is next over...right by Florin and Guilder, and to the east of Ruritania...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Oh, too funny! In fact, ALL the posts are too funny!*

*Not this one, though.

[underpants]

6. Delicious

[applegrove]

7. Namibia Pambia!!!

[smirkymonkey]

9. "I can see Nambia from my house!"

[Angry Dragon]

10. very best choice

[onecent]

12. Oh hardy hardy hardy har.......

She is a LOSER!!

[Solly Mack]

15. She has to take her family. All of her family.

They'll be like pioneers. Going where no American has gone before. (or anyone else - but that's a minor detail when the gains are so great)

[jmowreader]

19. How can we possibly do something so low to the noble Nambian people?

Come on: Those fine individuals live lives unsullied by war or strife. They spend their days tending the world's largest herds of Three-Toed Naugas, from which we get the best grade of Naugahyde. They live on fruits, nuts and small but nutritious portions of Nauga flesh (it'll keep ya going but it tastes like rubber) and their nights are filled with dancing, song and wild sex in the streets.

If you send that ditz Palin over there, the Nambians will discover war.

[paleotn]

20. You know, it's getting hard to tell

what's satire and what's not these days.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

21. I pity poor nambia.

[StevieM]

22. We must all unite to refudiate this nomination. (eom)
