Andy Borowitz

MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)—Vladimir Putin has become “deeply worried” about his strategy after learning that Donald J. Trump called him smart, Kremlin sources have revealed.

After Trump praised Putin Saturday night at the Conservative Political Action Conference, in Orlando, the Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, reluctantly shared a video of the disturbing moment with the Russian President.

“As Putin watched Trump call him smart, all the blood drained from his face,” a source said. “He was clearly shaken.”After watching the video of Trump, Putin spent a sleepless night in consultation with Russian military and intelligence officials to determine where and how he had gone wrong.

“He’s rethinking everything now, and he’s in a very fragile state of mind,” the source said. “If it comes out that Don, Jr., or Eric thinks he’s smart, that could break him.”

Meanwhile, Donald J. Trump doubled down on his support for the Russian President, offering Putin advice on declaring Russia bankrupt.

The Convoy for Freedom or whatever it calls itself has given rise to some great one liners in Lawyers Guns and Money comments.

Here comes the People's Convoy Rush Hour Reenactment!

What a maroon. "Meet my unspecified demands or we'll keep driving in circles!"

My understanding is that they plan to drive at the minimum speed limit on the Beltway: thus significantly speeding up traffic.

"Hey, we've shut down the Beltway!"

"Nah, it's always been like that."

I feel so owned. The only thing that would make me more owned is if they all converted their life savings to cash then burned it all in a giant bonfire.

But will they ever return?

No no they'll never return

And their fate will be unlearned

They'll do laps forever

Good thing I hadn’t just taken a swig of coffee!

I heard the voices of the Kingston Trio as I read this…

(About fame) Living for likes, shares and follows is a form of validation. The question is whether it is also the source of our self esteem. If it is, we’re screwed. And, culturally, it seems as if it’s become more and more our shared value. ... Meringue is no longer a sweet and pretty topping but the body itself. ~Charles Perez

I bumped into two good jokes in TAC comments.

What's the difference between a Republican and a Ukrainian? The Ukrainian defends their capital.

What's the difference between a Republican and a Ukrainian? Only one of the two is a fawning, simpering sycophant of Putin. Spoiler alert - not the Ukrainian.
