BREAKING STORY

The Tanks in DC for Independence Day Are Russian! Trump Takeover Planned!

(MSNBC) Shock waves were felt across America today as unnamed sources from the DOJ, FBI, and CIA disclosed a highly classified bombshell: the tanks that President Trump demanded be part of the 4th of July celebrations in Washington are actually Russian tanks manned by Russian crews.

Instead of the standard US M-1 Abrams main battle tanks, the sources who wish to remain anonymous are saying the tanks on the Mall are actually Russian T-14 Armata tanks. Reporters from both MSNBC and CNN approached the tanks and attempted to engage the tank crews in casual conversation, but the crews appeared unable to speak English.

The situation became ominous when a Russian-speaking reporter from the New York Times overheard the tank commanders discussing their “assignments for tomorrow.” The reporter, who asked not to be identified, stated he heard phrases like, “capture the US Capitol and arrest Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Shumer.” The reporter also heard talk of “seizing the Supreme Court building” and “taking Justice Ginsberg in for interrogation.”

These reports have not been verified but they are so frightening that they must be true. CNN and MSNBC recommend that citizens panic, and run around the streets while screaming. MSNBC will continue to report this news as it develops or until we are arrested. Good night, and good luck.

But they're not good with making $2 billion a year instead of $5 billion a year. And that's the same with every other multi-trillion dollar corporation. It's called greed, and it's universal, right down to the poorest peon. That's life...
