Political humor is apparently dead.

I remember when Trump was funny.

I don't remember that at all.

Hilarious until we learned that conservatives figured judges were more important than our democ... oh wait, their judges wants to get rid of democracy. So I suppose maybe should have known all along.

I remember people finding humour in what Trump did. I don't ever recall him doing anything objectively funny on his own. There's a difference between having a sense of humour and being the fucking joke.

I have never cared for that kind of Trump/Archie Bunker/Michael Scott type humor. "Omigod, I can't believe he just SAID what we were all THINKING!" No, Janice, I wasn't thinking that, and it's definitely not a good basis on which to select the next president.

Outside of being Trump, neither do I.
He’s a buffoon. Nothing he does or says is funny in isolation or in context. But it was easier for people to laugh at the buffoon being the buffoon when the buffoon didn’t own every single gonad on the right side of the House. He’s now the Sta-Puft monster, terrorizing the Nation, while being boring at the same time.
Guess he should be credited for managing that.

Had evangelicals not voted for him en masse, his political career would have been a comic legend.

What's the difference between Trump and the Hindenburg?
One is a flaming Nazi gasbag. The other is an airship.
