Millions Gather To Express Total Ignorance About Political System

U.S. · Oct 18, 2025 · BabylonBee.com



U.S. — Millions of Americans took to the streets today in order to express to the world their total and absolute ignorance about the political system they live in.

Several major cities including Boston, New York City and Chicago saw over one hundred thousand residents show up to proclaim their abject incomprehension of governance.

"The world needs to understand how incredibly little we know," said local man Roger McMahon, who had joined the march. "I really do not think the greater population appreciates how completely uneducated and illiterate we are when it comes to our own political system. That's why I'm here marching. We're going to join our voices together and let the message ring loud and clear that we are uneducated rubes in desperate need of a middle-school social studies class."

Rallygoers marched throughout the day on Saturday, chanting various slogans such as "Where do I live?" and "How does government work?"

"It's incredibly inspiring, seeing so many people walking arm in arm saying 'Hey, I don't know anything,'" said local woman Barbara Samson. "It feels incredible to be part of this movement of telling people that I'm a real dullard."

At publishing time, the rest of the world had politely told the rallygoers that the message had been received.

Trump Completes Renovations To White House Throne Room

Politics · Oct 20, 2025 · BabylonBee.com



WASHINGTON, D.C. — Trump administration officials announced on Monday that renovations on the White House Throne Room have been completed.

According to sources, the new throne room had undergone extensive remodeling to reflect President Donald Trump's increased monarchic power and bring greater honor and prestige to his historic reign over the nation.

"It is now truly fitting for a king," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reported. "The White House Throne Room has been retrofitted with golden accents, a diamond encrusted gold throne, and a mural depicting President Trump on a horse rampaging through a peaceful protest."

Though most Americans were unaware, the throne room was first constructed following the War of 1812 but fell into disrepair when presidents began spending a significant time abroad. In light of this weekend's "No Kings" protests, the president ordered it be modernized for immediate use.

"These people seem to think it's bad to have a king — a concept completely at odds with America," Barron Trump reportedly told his father. "We must show them what a proper king looks like. We must show them, father."

Following Leavitt's press briefing, Trump held court in the throne room to hear the pleas of journalists, which he repeatedly denied.

"Wrong! You're fake news!" Trump shouted at one point. "I will not return your farmland!"

At publishing time, President Trump demanded that the American Crown Jewels be cleaned forthwith.
