Former Hippies Put in Horrible Position of Rooting for F.B.I.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Former hippies across the United States have been put in the unbearable position of rooting for the F.B.I., hippies have confirmed.From Vermont to California, erstwhile hippies bemoaned a nightmare scenario that has forced them to side with a law-enforcement agency they have despised since the Summer of Love.

“I always dreamed I’d spend my retirement surrounded by my grandchildren, telling them that the F.B.I. were fascist pigs,” Carol Foyler, a former hippie who lives in Santa Cruz, said. “That dream has been shot to hell.”

Her husband, Mick, nodded his head in sad agreement. “We were so happy when pot was legalized in California,” he said. “But the fact that we’re now on the same side as the F.B.I. has ruined even that.”

1. I can be at least hippie-ish. I like the FBI when they go after mobsters, klansmen, sex predators...

In Trump, they have a three-fer.

2. if trump fires a lot of the leadership

there is always the potential for their dream / nightmare to come true.

3. This does highlight how crazy things have gotten

Trump would have us believe that the FBI is some kind of deep state liberal organization. Really?

4. I'm still a hippy.

Never was against decent law enforcement people, but really disliked the dirty ones. Some deserve respect, some should be feared.
