I started to watch, started to chuckle then turned it off.

Nope, we are at war with people who are trying to kill us.

Nothing at all funny about it. No offense to the OP, you are probably right to try and lighten the mood around here but I say no laughing, this is serious fucking business and the tax plan will kill over 10,000 of us next year alone.

But here's the deal.

If we mock Trump enough, his blood pressure may rise enough to break all the gauges and he'll explode into a bazillion little fragments, none of which are seed material for the whole.

True, Chaplin's send-up of Herr Hitler didn't prevent the Holocaust, but it was a good try.

When asked to read to the kids, Trump reads from his autobiography, "The Art of the Deal" ... and tutors them on how to abuse illegal workers... LOL...

But I'd rather laugh than cry. It's less dehydrating.

For some reason I found the fake Hillary "lip reading" to be the most humorous. What language do they have her speaking? Afrikaans?

I'm a little surprised this "bad lip reading" hasn't found its way to Colbert. But he does a great job skewering El Trumpo on a nightly basis.

Yup, the tax con is a major bummer. But we can laugh as we make all the necessary preparations to take back Congress and dump Trump.

to our institutions and to race relations in this country is a motive for deep sadness and introspection. I can't laugh although I'd like to.
