Twitter's Servers Burst Into Flames After Attempting to Fact-Check All of Trump's Tweets
SAN FRANCISCO (The Borowitz Report)—Servers belonging to the social-media platform Twitter burst into flames on Thursday, after the company attempted to fact-check all of Donald Trump’s tweets.
“We knew that fact-checking Trump’s tweets was going to put a strain on our system,” Jack Dorsey, the C.E.O. of Twitter, said. “We had no idea that it would result in columns of fire shooting forty feet into the air.”
Reportedly, an explosion in the server fact-checking Trump’s tweets about Joe Scarborough ignited a blaze that quickly spread to a server furiously vetting his tweets about Barack Obama.
Fire trucks rushed to Twitter headquarters to extinguish the inferno, which San Francisco officials called the largest fact-checking-related fire incident in the city’s history.
While no one was injured in the conflagration, Dorsey quietly shelved plans to fact-check all of Donald Trump, Jr.,’s tweets.

Thanks for posting, Rhiannon!
We sure need his humor right now and he really is the best! 
We have had great and not-so-great presidents before, but it sure seems like this one has not only ignored any and all problems in this country, but now he's only managed to make the situation unnecessarily worse. We desperately needed proactive leadership in this country, but we have had none for over 3 years, and this pandemic which has affected everyone has made this heartbreakingly obvious. How anyone can continue to support Trump after all this totally boggles the mind.
