Still "satire", though.

It's interesting how The Onion became synonymous with satire, similar to how Google is just another word for doing an internet search. It's to the point where calling a news article "not The Onion" now means "real article that sounds like satire" instead of "literally not an article on The Onion website"

I meant it to mean a satire article that's not from the Onion, since that's becoming pretty rare nowadays.

I thought this line was a hell of a burn:

"News that Pence had vanished touched off a panic in Indiana, where residents feared that he might return to resume his political career."

Then I read the last one:

"Reportedly, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie offered to fill in for Pence in the event that he became unable to fulfill his duties. That offer was declined."

Biden’s two sons had recently had the engine rebuilt as a Christmas present, and it’s only natural that he refers to his Corvette as the only car he’s ever loved. He claims that he “buried it” up to 160 miles per hour when he was younger. Hell yea.
