MSDNC was a parody site [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

The site was created by a guy named Hunter Penn in April, 2019. He labeled the top of what is now an X account, MSDNCNews, as being a parody. Twitter suspended his account for not following the rules, and somewhere along the way after Elon Musk bought Twitter and made it X, the account was restored.
What I can't find out, is when Trump started calling MSNBC as MSDNC, to find out if this guy was first, or if he was just copying Trump. I did find a Facebook post of Feb. 26, 2020 where he said MSDNC. Who's on first? I don't know.
Not having an X account, I can't go back through the possible whole stream of posts past the first pages anyone can get. But it looks like he never came back to continue. Out of those, there are some that were actually funny and creative.
This one has the exact same fist as at the bottom of the Daily Kos page.
Kente is associated with the Asante and Ewe peoples of Ghana.
Almost seems possible until you get to the 23 BET Image Awards.
We've heard of ladies being called Karen, but not like this.
There were many posts about Pete Buttigieg, most of them not funny. This is actually the only one about him being gay with the jagged rainbow flag. He seemed to think Pete deserved a lot of coverage.
This one is a classic skewering both Trump and Bush. The guy is obviously not a Trump supporter.
We could have created this one in comments. The list of charges were just in his first term. Think of how many more there are now.
It obviously didn't happen, but she would have been better off.
Zelenskyy on the job.
Ukraine minimum wage.
That Chinese balloon.
I don't get the link, but the minerals is funny with the Ukraine deal.
This should have happened and then Joe steps aside for Kamala.
I have no idea what the picture was about.
This one I really don't have a clue. Bernie and an underground fortress.
There was nothing in all his posts that should have got him shut down. There are thousands of right-wing accounts with unabashed racism and worse on X now. Some posts on MSDNCNews could be of dubious taste, but parody is protected free speech.
Some were really funny. I almost wish he was still posting.
All the whiite background ones were via the Wayback Machine.
