Washington, DC -- National Cable Satellite Corporation, commonly known as C-SPAN, is a non-profit organization renowned for its unfiltered coverage of US government proceedings over decades.

However, viewership has been plummeting in recent years. The causes are unclear, ranging from "voter apathy" to "lack of education about democratic processes," with "having a life" at the top.

In response to this trend, C-SPAN embarked on various experimental initiatives, beginning in 2019. The most popular by far was the introduction of pre-recorded laughter, akin to the "laugh track" in sitcoms. Consequently, C-SPAN has witnessed a surge in Neilsen ratings, reflecting viewers' apparent enjoyment of the Congressional clown show.

Frank Gumpley, Chief Technologist at C-SPAN, shed light on their approach, stating, "We simply trained an AI to augment the deadpan delivery of unironic humor by folks in the House and Senate, and add a laugh track so people understood what parts were jokes. But, as it turns out, nearly everything they say is a joke."

Yes, Comrade Circenses, besides laugh tracks, I hope they will also use AI to include a music break with sponsors such as Preparation H Cream, Listerine Mouth Wash, and various Hemorrhoid and fissure Ointments, combined with glowing testimony from various animated Congressional members.

Are you saying Joe Biden won't leave even if he loses (again) in November?

Well that is certainly a possiblity, but jackalopelipsky was thinking more like this:

Just push the current residents doing the same things, and replace them with squatters. Sort of a phone book selection to get justice in the public square.

But, the idea of the Bidens becoming White House squatters reminds the jackalope of a Sister Bunny story. Way back to the Clinton Whitehouse, Sister Bunny heard on the news that Arkansas Hillary took White House FURNITURE to Chappaqua, New York, Oh, my Panem! You know when special needs bunnies recognize low down, theivin' behavior by the co-President of the USSA. Where was the outrage amongst the rest of The Collective? The emotion... all that special needs sense of right and wrong would pour out of Sister Bunny's mouth.

One could rethink that the White House was occupied by squatting trash, with no sense of decorum back in the 90's. But, The Bidens????

How would we recognize The People's sofa, or curtains going out the door, if Jill is overseeing the removal?

Squatters do what squatters do.

C-Span ----cue laugh track
