Events are so extreme, how can satire keep up? Yet satirists like Scott Dikkers, a creative force behind the satirical publication The Onion, find a way. If you have the time, you might listen to what Dikkers says about satire and his life in my latest podcast. youtu.be/YOgErRbCWEw

Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history.
