I think the problem for satirists and comedians is that the real thing is now funnier and almost as ridiculous as the spoof.

*Trump goes to a prayer meeting and instead starts talking about how terrible the ratings are for The Apprentice*

Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park have said they're giving up trying to satirise Trump.

Have they finally found something where both sides are, like, not totally just as dumb as each other?

Making fun of Trump and his administration is a great way to get under his skin, he can't stand it. I hope they keep it coming!

She's among the favorites to lead the ticket in 2020.

To paraphrase It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, like Hillary she's a woman and therefore automatically shrill. Those white voters in the rust belt who abandoned the democrats for Trump aren't voting for her.

She can sound a more populist tone and be much more credible than Mrs. Clinton (even though Mrs. Clinton herself tried hard to introduce universal healthcare back in the first half of the 1990s) - she founded the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect working men and women everywhere from unscrupulous big businesses. Warren's presence and influence would appease the left wing of the party, allowing the other half of the ticket to strike more centrist (even moderate right-wing) tones. They could unite the party in a way Hillary "Favorite Child" Clinton and Tim "Fluffy Non-Entity" Kaine ever could.

How can you really parody what he's already doing? Trump is a living, breathing parody already.

And if they did find something, I'd be worried Trump would see it and think it was a good idea, then issue an Executive order the following day.

I think it's better to publicly ridicule what he's doing than not bother, if it helps him dig a deeper hole for himself then yay.

I'm amazed at the lack of tweets from Trump about this.

He's going to be rage-Tweeting against the independence of the judiciary for years, he doesn't have time for us.

Trump has also started Tweeting after the rejection of his appeal,

I wonder what extras agency he got those protesters from...

He's so damn reckless. He's done far more to stoke anti-US terrorist attacks than that judge ever will.

100 people well that totally invalidates all those people protesting against him. It's clearly a huge crowd.

Up to 100 now
A cynic might point out that all those signs look pre-printed and official...

Armed toddlers are presumably armed American toddlers further adding to the total number of people shot by an American.

I'm surprised falling out of bed kills so many people. How high is the fall? Bunk bed height? Do those killed by it ever have carpet or are they always hardwood floors they land on?

PostRe: The American Politics Thread by **Garth** » Sun Feb 05, 2017 11:03 pm

I would assume they hit their head on something during the fall, and maybe some fall on something that cuts into them under their own weight...

Even Bill doesn't go easy on him. :lol:

. (He didn't follow up on any question though, of course)

What the strawberry float was that rambling nonsense after the Iran question? It's very clear he has no idea what the deal Obama made with Iran actually consists of. All he knows about it is that it's "bad".
