Roy Cohn was his lawyer? That's...disgusting...and makes perfect sense!

Yeah. I was like: but not that -- Oh.

Wow.

Did all the reporters take the Spring off or something?

Haha.  I almost posted that here.  Liberal bro humor vs. GOP bro humor.  They're funnier and much more easygoing than he is. 

Wait.  I wanted to post a different video.  This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy47dgjMk-A

Also watched the Alex Jones/Young Turks fiasco a couple times yesterday.  Much more entertaining.  Alex Jones is basically a pro wrestler.

Third and final post: Videos of liberal guys mocking Trump rallies aren't helping anything.

I think The Daily Show helped secure George W. Bush's second term. 

Smug attempts at clowning intelligent, angry politicians and commentators who know the game by now... Hey, a paycheck's a paycheck, but you'd be a horse's ass if you think it's making a diff with all those "clueless" Republican voters you're teasing on TV, a medium largely watched by conservative Middle Americans.

I see your point, but funny is funny.

I love how Alex Jones creates the drama by walking in like a total dick, then walks away all shocked like he can't believe they flipped out on him. He's a great actor.

Agreed with Eric....not sure what good comes from making fun of Trump and his ilk.  Sure it's funny but it's basically more preaching to the choir.  I know it feels good to think "I am right and these people are idiots" but that kind of thing just galvanizes the other side.  I don't think any conservative ever watched a Stewart takedown piece and thought to change their mind or re-evaluate their own thinking.  Worst thing about it is that it still treats that campaign like it's a joke and not a real threat.

By all means, keep patting yourself on the back

If Eric Andre seals the election for Trumpp, it will be worth it.   Black Lives Bladder!

Have you seen that footage of him and a small film crew "infiltrating" the Bilderberger Shlamozzle? It's pretty amazing. They convince themselves that they're about to be killed by Der Biderberger SS because the lights in their hotel room flicker.

It might be the very definition of Paranoia. Or just being a stupid fat-assed carnival barker. Maybe they took acid that evening, I wasn't there.

Regarding what's accomplished by making fun of Trump supporters: probably nothing, but I'm sure FOX News, Gavin MacInnes, Milo Yiannopoulos and other comedy geniuses will take the high road to Chuckle City - Population US ***at the Democratic Convention.

Seriously, though, I hate to see EA fail.  Love that guy.

Late Saturday night I lay awake thinking about Trumpp and Hillary and Bernie instead of making love to my wife like I shoulda been.  I've been feeling a sickening dread the past couple weeks thinking about Amerikkka and the chance that DT might win the general, and pigs shooting black people left and right and getting away with it and turds blabbing about how all-lives-matter and cops is heroes etc.: the usual.  Then I thought, wait: how is a Trumpp victory possible?  How does he have the numbers?   My man Barry won by a landslide in '08, with the same right-wing pieces of shitt voting for... who was it, now?  Romney?  Baby-O even beat the '04 Nazi ticket with the moose lady and the wonky son, whatsisname... Trike?  And her baby-havin'-baby, apologizing to JC all over the tv with jock-semen still up in there, toolin around.  All them babys and she still couldn't beat B.H.O..  So in the best of circumstances, how do the pugs pull the numbers to put DJT over?  It doesn't add up.  It's still uggly that anybody would vote for him but why'm I worrying?  So I figured, well, he's the perfect bogeyman, and he can't win but he doesn't care (he'll melt it all down into a book deal or a church or themepark) so when Hill inevitably wins in November, we'll be all relieved and thank god this MOR, corporate mercenary won 'cos she's "ours."  There's no time for a third-party ticket to suck votes from her, which is why Burnie stayed in the race, right?  So his people don't flock elsewhere?  Burnie knows the score and doesn't care.   Hillary doesn't even have a message -- it's just "Hillary!"  They're playing like it's a done deal.  Bill sidling up to Loretta on the jet plane, knowing it looks bad, not giving a shitt: it blows over within a couple of news cycles. 

More lulz would be nice, honestly.  Even better would be if HRC did something interesting and worth thinking about.
