    Vance Ruins Disneyland
    Jul 16 2025
    Once again our team points out Vance didnt ruin anything and its just wordplay and this whole show is parody.

    Anyway, Joe Biden defends using an autopen to pardon people—and yes, he threw in some Trump shade while he was at it. Over in Anaheim, Vice President JD Vance visits Disneyland and triggers ride shutdowns, protest signs, and culture war cameos. And in Missouri, a man throws a woman off a boat and leads police on a Fast & Furious-style lake chase because...America.

    Trump Steals the Spotlight (and the Trophy) + Elmo’s X Meltdown
    Jul 15 2025
    Our team reminds you Trump didn't steal anything and we are just doing wordplay and this whole show is parody.

    Donald Trump crashes Chelsea’s FIFA celebration like an uncle who won’t leave a wedding, blocking photos, confusing players, and—oh yeah—keeping the real trophy for himself. Meanwhile, Elmo’s X account gets hacked and goes completely off the rails with rants about Epstein, Netanyahu, and PBS. Sesame Workshop scrambles, screenshots go viral, and somewhere Cookie Monster quietly logs off.

    Jul 13 2025
    Deep in the Florida Everglades, where corruption runs as thick as the swamp, a broken immigration detention center becomes ground zero for a darkly comic uprising. When mild-mannered maintenance worker Tommy Esperanza is wrongfully detained, he teams up with a mysterious fellow inmate to turn the system upside down—using bureaucracy’s own chaos against it. With wisecracking narration from Southern legend Beau Thibodaux, Alligator Alcatraz is a sharp, satirical romp through government failure, family separation, and unlikely heroism. It’s Shawshank Redemption meets Veep, with gators.

Because nothing says policy genius like blaming Somalia for your commute.For more political absurdity and culture war chaos, subscribe to Ballot. Go ad-free with Caloroga Plus at caloroga.com/plus
