about how T wants Flynn back in the WH, and once again had to ask myself if this was satire...because honestly, it is very hard to tell the difference between what comes out of the WH and what Borowitz and the late night comics do. The source was the Daily Beast, so i knew it wasn't satire, but it is very weird to have to check the source to determine if it's satire or not. Unpresidented, i believe is the word?

I know this is not the first time anyone has made this observation, but it seems to me it has been getting steadily more the case as the wheels keep spinning looser.
