Hey! It’s Wednesday in America, but around this time next year we might be calling it The Nation Formerly Known As The United States.

Anyway, here are Five Jokes!

Donate to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, The Carter Center, and/or Alliance for Middle East Peace.

Y’all hear about this?..

• In a decisive victory, Trump won every swing state that has been called so far. Naturally, he’s celebrating the victory by dancing alone to “YMCA” while applying bronzer on areas that haven’t seen the sun in decades.

  

• The world's first wooden satellite has been launched into space, in a step toward sustainable space exploration — and Geppetto’s last nerve with Pinocchio.

• Two Black women will serve together in the Senate for the first time. And since the senate is overwhelmingly Republican, they can look forward to the bulk of their colleagues mistaking them both for Whoopi Goldberg.

• Steve Kornacki got his own livestream for election night on NBC News so viewers could watch his every move. However, without his knowledge, the livestream never ended, and the entire nation knows his favorite tabs and search words at home. Turns out, only a select few can match his freak.

Finally…

• Voters in Florida rejected ballot measures that would have protected abortion rights and legalized recreational marijuana — proving once and for all that “pro life” and “boring narc” go hand in hand.
