Republicans Earn Bonuses for Exceeding ISIS Recruiting Goals
Yup. I am very well aware of what this is. This is satire, and it is calling out the Republicans for proposing exactly the wrong things to do as we try to deal with the Islamic State, the Syrian War, the Syrian refugee crisis, and so much more. The Republicans are cowards, and their policies never fail to make sure we create more people who hate us. It is complete madness.
Republicans Earn Bonuses for Exceeding ISIS Recruiting Goals
WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Today, the Islamic State (ISIS) announced many prominent Republican politicians - including many GOP presidential candidates - will receive cash bonuses for exceeding ISIS's recruiting goals. The Islamic State explained Republican opposition to Syrian refugees being allowed into the United States was "a wonderful way" to help the religious-extremist organization recruit even more Syrian civilians, who were essentially being held hostage inside their own country.

The ISIS official added, "Speaker Ryan is getting a $150,000 bonus for his efforts, and many Republicans in Congress will be receiving a $15,000 or $30,000 bonus. They'll get the higher amount if they are also urging more direct American military action in Syria while they tell Syrian civilians to stay where they are in the kill zone."
