Malarkey Stew. . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Stuart Varney!!!!




Stuart Varney is saying "I don't see any illegality to taking the homeless off the streets and putting them in clean facilities where they can get help and training. Our legal system would applaud such an executive move in my opinion. . . . And while we're at it, there are many more misguided people who could use the camps and some re-education. . . . It sounds like a 'Win, Win, Win.' . . . Who could possibly object?"




******************************************************

Above CAPTION is based on the following exchange linked at Media Matters:

.... why ever did they do away with them. Where are the undesirables and hated supposed to go ? Besides it is good for capitalism,.. we can exploit them and work them to death and not have to pay them.

Win,... win,.. all around.

God Bless Fascism.

...rationalizing his greedy, bigoted existence. To his own mind, he sounds perfectly rational, I'm sure.

we try to channel our subject's greed, stupidity, inhumanity, etc. for satiric purposes.

So . . . he really didn't say this but he may have if he thought he could get away with it."

asked Scrooge.

"Plenty of prisons," said the gentleman, laying down the pen again.

"And the Union workhouses?" demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"

"They are. Still," returned the gentleman, "I wish I could say they were not."

"The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?" said Scrooge.

Varney- No, soylent green is people.

Hannity- But you wouldn't put it in a vape, right?

Varney- No, we'd make Soylent Green flavored vape.

Hannity- But you wouldn't market it to minors, right?

Varney- No, that's are target audience.

Hannity- But you wouldn't add nicotine to make it horribly addictive, right?

Varney- Funny enough, we would make it horribly addictive.

Hannity- I love this idea. Homeless camps. Very humane. What could go wrong?

Varney- Nothing, if we got a good marketing campaign that is.

we try to channel our subjects' inanity, greed, stupidity, etc. for satirical purposes.

So he really didn't say this but would have if he thought he could get away with it. At least that's the joke.
