      There is a running joke, that the writing staff for “Fake News You Can Trust” website “The Babylon Bee” can foretell the future, because so many of their jokes have actually been fulfilled by reality…sort of…not long after.

      Yesterday I posted on this forum a Babylon Bee joke about creating a “Night At the Museum” sequel featuring the statues removed in the name of BLM, in a thread here (see image and link to that thread here on G+G below).

        …Today, real news:

        “The bronze statue of Theodore Roosevelt, on horseback and flanked by a Native American man and an African man, which has presided over the entrance to the American Museum of Natural History in New York since 1940, is coming down,” museum president Ellen Futter told The New York Times.

        Enter actor Ben Stiller. He starred in all three of the “Night At The Museum” movies along with co-star Robin Williams, who portrayed Roosevelt in the films.

        “How about replacing it with a statue of Robin Williams. He deserves one.” — Ben Stiller (@RedHourBen)

        Some of the old The Onion stuff also seems very believable these days

          Not Babylon Bee but satire itself, because the current bullshit is just unbelievably stupid, no oen would have believed it 10 years ago.

          BabylonBee might be satire, but damn there headlines at times can be really something that i could being REAL! Funny has hell as well! Ben Stiller (Dont think i spelled that right) who started in Night at the Museum stated it should be replaced by a statue of Robin Williams, i find that kinda of funny and i am not sure how i feel about it.

          The babs bee had to start posting facts cause the satire was being proven to be real.

          Its a joke; almost.

          No way? Really?

          No Im a sarcastic asshole. But most of their headlines the past 4 years have been more factual than anything communist news puts out.
