is a couple bucks for paper to eat, ink to drink, and the secret ingredient to the Punch in our Bowls (hint: it’s copious amounts of alcohol).

And PubCo, one more thing to let you know before we go: this is all your fault. That whole FAKE NEWS thing that got us into this mess in the ¿rst place" We started it in 1899, and you’ve been our slush fund this whole time. If only you’d taken a stand, maybe this all could have been avoided. But you didn’t, so here we are. Thanks a bunch.

The Punch Bowl would like to thank SAC for its ¿nal round of funding. As the world will soon meet its ¿rey end, we will no longer be forced to crawl on our hands and knees, beg-ging for scraps from SAC’s table. Instead, we will soon have the chance to crawl on our paws, tentacles, and other mangled appendages, beg-ging for scraps from whatever overlords rise up to replace SAC as the world’s chief ¿du-ciary supplier during the End of Days.

We can only pray that our new benefactors are as benevelont as SAC, which honestly isn’t that high a standard to meet. All we need

Dear Doomed Deplorables,

I know I’m usually pretty sassy and irreverent in these letters – after all, deal-ing with your spoiled faces all day leaves me in a permanently nasty mood. But this time I have to genuinely ask: What the actual fuck is wrong with you"

/ike seriously, why did you do this to yourselves" A manic, rapey, unTuali-¿ed, and narcissistic reality star who has made a literal career out of swindling people was just elected President. Democratically. As in, the American people wanted him.

In the past, I’ve referred to ‘the American People’ in a distant, removed way. For instance, I have referred to passing the homes of ‘The American People’ as I Acela home to New York each evening. I have referenced my hobby of dining on Omaha Steaks that were raised, slaughtered, and packaged by ‘The American People.’ When I hop into my stretch Cadillac limo to avoid seeing students on /ocust, I have often brieÀy pondered on how it was likely assem-bled in Detroit by ‘American People.’

In other words, my previous opinion of the uncultured simpletons that com-prise middle America as one of nebulous respect but little meaningful care or interest. I was very happy here in my Ivy League bubble, and I was glad that I had achieved a sort of live-and-let-live, distant detente with the time of mouth-breathing dimwits that eat at Applebee’s.

But no more. This utter fuckup has hit way too close to home. Pennsylvania, the state I “live” in an which lends its name to my 8niversity, voted for this obese shitshow of a man. As in, it voted 5epublican for the ¿rst time since 1988. Like, it went out of its way to trigger the downfall of civilization. No wonder the other Ivies – all of which are located in blue states, by the way – have started referring to us at the University of Pennsyltucky. Pathetic.

But wait, it gets better��� You know where this orange antichrist of a President got his college degree"""" You guessed it!!! THE UNIVERSITY OF MOTHERFUCKING PENNSYLTUCKY!!!! HURRAH HURRAH PENNSYLVAN-I-FUCK-YOU. I’m not sure what came over us that we let him in – I’m assuming his daddy made a few ‘small loans’ to our endowment, if you get my drift – but I can tell you that if I had been here at the time, there’s no way that shit would have happened. Good thing I was off in Cambridge getting a real, Presidential education – think Kennedy/Roosevelt.

Oh, and not to mention, we let three of his offspring in here as well. And I’ll be damned if I’ll be around for when Prince Barron enrolls in 2024.

So fuck this shit. I Tuit. This is e[actly what I get for spending years making half hearted attempts at ‘local and global engagement.’ I should’ve just built a wall around campus. And made Ron Perelman pay for it.

A-Gut out. Hopefully in the afterlife you can get something a little stiffer than what they serve at Wharton cocktail par-ties. I’m gonna need it.

After college, Conway became a Republican pollster and political commentator, a deadly combination of job titles. She won an award for accurately predicting the 2004 elec-tion, but had it rescinded after she predicted Sarah Palin would switch roles with John McCain on the 2008 presi-dential ticket and defeat Barack Obama.

Sean Michael Spicer is the White House Press Secretary and Commu-nications Director for President Don-ald J. Trump. He was born next to a construction site in 1970, and the loud noises that greeted his emergence from the womb have kept him perpetu-ally on-edge ever since. After a brief stint in boarding school, he attended

Connecticut College, where he somehow was able to earn a B.A. in Government. While in school, he wrote a letter to the student newspaper asking that the new anti-smoking rules not change the freedom to smoke during examination.

Trump: Everyone, line up against the fucking wall. Lucky for all you, the White House basement has a big, beautiful wall – unlike our border with Mexico.

Welcome to the cabinet, ladies and gents – I know you are all feeling high and mighty after getting a bid from the 6enate, but your real conÀrmation process is Must getting started, believe me. You’re gonna get hazed so much, you’re gonna get tired of hazing.

*Ben Carson falls asleep*

Rick Perry: Wait, Mr. Trump, I think there’s been some confusion – when I wanted to be in the cabinet, I thought I would literally be eating food out of a kitchen cabinet.

Trump: Shut the fuck up, glasses. Keep it up and you’re going to get cut – Must like you wanted to cut the department you now lead.

Betsy DeVos: Excuse me, when do we get to read this chapter’s charter? I’m a big fan of all things charter. Also, this pledging has had far too little religion for my taste.

Trump: Did I tell you you could speak, Little-Miss-5ich-*irl? This pledging is going to break you Must like Mike Pence had to break your tie in the Senate. A Republican senator from ALASKA voted against you – that’s the one state that might actually buy your grizzly bear bullshit.

Jeff Sessions: Excuse me: Why is that negr–I mean Secretary Carson– asleep in the corner?

Trump: I don’t know, but all of you are also gonna be passed the fuck out after I force you to chug this barrel of highly-spiked Kool-aid.

Reince Priebus: Don’t worry, Mr. President – Re-publicans are always more than willing to drink your Kool-aid.

As we all know, appointees to the cabinet undergo a rig-orous vetting process in front of the U.S. Senate. What is kept more clandestine, though, is the other tests they must pass in order to head their respective depart-ments. This is the little-known and largely undiscussed cabinet pledging process. Here is a partial transcript of what went down on one recent late-night session.

WASHINGTON - Following President Donald Trump’s Àrst month in ofÀce, former President *eorge Washing-ton issued a statement on Saturday announcing that he would be ordering his troops to intentionally lose their Àght against the %ritish forces near Saratoga in 2cto-ber 1777. “Having reviewed the State of the American Union in the year 2017, I have decided to reverse my decision on the impending battle with the forces of King George III. I hope the American rebels lose miserably, crushing their hopes of ever having a sovereign nation.”

The decision marks a maMor reversal in a 2�0 year-old policy for Washington, who had originally planned to win the battle, turning the tide of the Revolution-ary War and consequently, history; following his plan, he would later become the Àrst President of a country founded on a historical Constitution that would become a world superpower, and eventually, elect as President reality TV star with no political experience, but plenty of softcore pornography experience.

“I’ve fought against the tyrannical %ritish for years now, but in light of a religiously discriminatory ban on refugees, a border wall, climate change denial, appoint-ment of utterly incompetent Cabinet members, support from foreign dictators, systematic degradation of the press, and Twitter, I think we should all call it quits and take whatever sugar taxes King George imposes on us,” declared Washington, adding that he felt current Republicans are “a little too soft on keeping [women] in the household and preventing [African-Americans] from voting.”

However, upon learning that %ritain had voted to leave the European Union, the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army simply noted that humanity should Must “screw it all,” before throwing down his sword and charging off into a thundering rain of cannonÀre.
