A self-described "email prankster" seemingly fooled top editors at Breitbart over the weekend into believing he was Steve Bannon, the fired White House chief strategist who returned to the right-wing website as executive chairman on Friday. 

In the emails, Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow pledged that he and several other top editors would do Bannon's "dirty work" against White House aides. The emails were shared with CNN by the prankster. 

In other emails, Marlow suggested he could have Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump ousted from the White House "by end of year" and shared a personal smear about their private lives, perhaps an indication of how low the website is willing to go to achieve its agenda.

The one that gets me is where the fake "Steve Bannon" says that Donald Trump drinks wine decanted through Melania's used pantyhoes (sic) and this Alex Marlow guy buys that possibility completely. 

Trump's Energy Secretary, Rick Perry, falls victim to Russian pranksters.

Dammit! I thought these glasses made me too smart to fall for shit like that?

Energy Secretary Rick Perry was duped by Russian pranksters in a phone call he believed was conducted with Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Hroisman. In the 22-minute phone call confirmed by an Energy Department spokesperson Tuesday, Perry discussed everything from the oil and gas industry to coal exports and Russian cyberhacking with a person he believed to be the Ukrainian PM, but who was actually a Russian comedian. At one point, the man claiming to be Hroisman announced that the Ukrainian president had personally developed a “new kind of fuel” made from alcohol and manure, the distribution of which Perry said he’d be willing to discuss at a later date. Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov, two Russian comedians known for similar prank calls, took credit for the stunt. Energy Department spokeswoman Shaylyn Hynes said Perry was “the latest target of two Russian pranksters” who often target “those who are supportive of an agenda that is not in line with their government’s.”

Nice explanation there Ms. Hynes, but we all know that the Trump Administration is not doing ANYTHING that is not in line with the Russian government.

Perry was pranked because simpletons are easy to take advantage of, and that is why we typically choose intelligent people to run the government.

I am sure that the first thought that went through most of your minds was that this seems eerily familiar, and you would be right.

Yet another bespectacled moron that pranksters found to be an easy target. 

I think Jimmy Kimmel's April Fool's day prank was the best one of all.

Courtesy of Raw Story:

“April Fools, America!” declares ‘Trump. “I’m not really running for president. It was a joke! You’re so stupid, it’s mind-boggling. It really is. Now go vote for my friend Hillary Clinton, and Make America Great Again.” 

“I can’t believe you bought these crappy hats.”

I think the reason that this works so well is that a lot of people have hoped all along that Trump would do exactly this. And who knows, he might.

I wonder if there are any Trump supporters who were fooled by this and really think Trump pulled a fast one?

After all these are not smart people.
