UN Security Council Resolution 2344

This blog is fiction. I maintain this blog, chronicling the fictional presidency of John McCain, to remind me what is and is not news in this Reality TV America. Though the stories in this blog are fake, most of the links are real. Please, click the links to find out what's happening in the world, without the reality showmanship covering up the important news.

President McCain this week made a national address railing against Russian president Vladimir Putin's threatened veto of any military action taken against North Korea, after the the recent ballistic missile test. The UN Resolution which passed this week called for economic sanctions on North Korea, including sanctions against banks which do any business with the rogue nation.

(Here is a humorous link to The Borowitz Report making fun of McCain with the headline, "Putin Offers McCain Cheese To Go With His Wine".)

President McCain's bill to repeal ObamaCare, the Empowering Patients First Act, has passed two committees so far, but some of his former colleagues in the senate, led by Senator Rand Paul, say they are opposed to the bill. Like the bill it aims to repeal, passing this bill will require quite a fight. A single scandal would likely derail efforts to repeal ObamaCare.

Buried under the coverage of North Korea and the ObamaCare repeal, President McCain had a quiet meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. McCain and Merkel have had a sometimes rocky relationship over her dove-like tendencies in relation to Russia.

Speaking of Russia, FBI director James Comey announced that Reality TV host Donald Trump, who had been allowed onto the debate stage with former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during the failed election, apparently colluded with Russia to deny Secretary Clinton a victory. This internationally backed meddling in the election led to the creation of this blog, and to the selection of John McCain as president on January 6th.
