The purpose of the Zoom meeting was to talk about creating conspiracy theories that could be fed to Newsmax and Fox.

Frankly, Dick and Jane had planned to leave conspiracy work behind after they left the White House (it didn’t play well at their class reunions).

Meanwhile their skills at bending reality have caught the attention of white nationalist groups.

No less than the rising, fund-raising superstar from Georgia’s Fourteenth asked for a Zoom. Dick and Jane agreed only because they need money.

“Y’all did great claiming the election was stolen” the congresswoman said “…pullin’ them talkin’ points right outta thin air.”

“I’ll pay top dollar for creativity like yours. We got some in-house ideas you could maybe help us fancy up.

”One is that COVID vaccines are linked to flesh-eating farts and the other is that Liz Cheney dates barnyard animals.”

Dick hit the mute button and turned to Jane.

“I’m not doing this.” he said.
