      you people... you think this is terrible? wait until 2021, and 2023 if we make it.... and you know what, you will miss 2020, this brief peaceful reprieve with beer and isolation, you will miss it and callyourselves fools for not taking every moment of it for the joy and preplanning you could
      also... uhmm if we make it... and somehow the world isnt full of immense crators from super volcano explosions or failed experiments causing the core to collapse... or some other horror... if we survive all that...
      your going to miss trump by 2027, caus every other presidency will be boring and you will realize how much you miss things being spontanious and curious never knowing what comes around the corner next...
      trump is crazily spontanious enough that you dont have to fear any specific thing next, you dont know whats coming next... buuut... there will come a day if we survive you miss trump and you realize he wasnt that bad, just incredibly chaotic and full of panicy stress as people fear losing everything they value and in the end... everything was ok, perhaps better then ever because somehow enough people and scientists and other world leaders come together and carry the balls to the baskets to get everything worked out to make the world a paradise in a way that only pure chaos can allow

      The Trump presidency has numbed the American public to so many scandals and issues. He doesn't directly denounce white supremacy because he's supported by it, he protects companies over workers, he allowed Covid to infect Americans more than necessary, he had a porn star scandal, multiple instances of misusing campaign donations, he's been impeached, he's continuously attempted to de-value the American presidental election, and that's not even HALF. It's ridiculous.

Our POS whiny little coward baby 'president' is hiding in a bunker in the basement of the White House because he is fundamentally incapable of showing any empathy or of leading the country. Trump could not lead a pack of dogs to a pile of meat on the floor! I shudder to think what it will be like as November rolls around and Trump's only out for his crimes is to either get elected again or take down the country, because he has a good start on dismantling the country already.

      That's no f****** joke. I've been watching quite a few older episodes is last week tonight usually after the new ones come on and I watch them and then algorithm suggest these and it's scary to think how little time has passed and how much has happened in that time. I remember going through Netflix in mid 2019 and I have this odd feeling that it was hard to go and listen to NE stand up comedy that didn't take place in the Trump era because that's the only thing I need relief from right now. It's sad that I miss less than a year ago but what's happening right now is necessary we have to fight and we can't stop!

No incarceration costs. No legal expenses. No worrying about having to hear his pathetic voice on Fox "news" complaining about how he's treated and doesn't deserve it. But honestly I'd rather see him locked in a hole somewhere without access to twitter, phones or media people. Cut off his ability to communicate. And put a giant TV right outside of his cell that ran replays of him losing the election and being criticized by the media 24/7 at full volume. Run footage of people around the world dancing in the street celebrating his loss. And footage of all of his cronies in orange jumpsuits getting dragged off to other prisons getting the same treatment as him. I would happily spend my tax dollars on his incarceration and denial of freedom.

    The 2 most controversial jokes, according audience groans:
    -Making light of Roger Ailes' death.
    -Implying Yoko was a Beatle.

    • @Rattenkriegs

      I have to disagree on the latter one - I think the reaction to that joke came because they put them in the wrong order.
      The second one of the three jokes meant to show that the Trump Administrations always chooses the worst option available in every situation was clearly the funniest and should have been the closer.
      "- Soup or salad?
      - I'm gonna go with the N-word"
      That was clearly the funniest joke of the three and most unexpected as it broke the convention of the set-up by actually ignoring the options awailable.
      The audience predictably really enjoyed and laughed out loud at that one, and in comparison their more muted response to the last joke about Yoko Ono being the favorite Beatle might have made it seem controversial to you - but I don't think that's the case at all.
      If they had put the jokes in what I think almost anyone would agree to be the right order with the Yoko Ono-joke coming second and "Soup or salad?" as a closer I'm sure they would have had a standard build-up of laughter instead of the awkward comparative silence after the Yoko Ono-joke.
      I'm really surprised they did that - I really thought professional comics wouldn't make a mistake like that.

      Shannon DeYong Independent politicians are rising. Non religious politicians are rising. But for the vast majority of people that actually vote they have to hear their politicians are Christian or they don't get elected. It is declining. That is the good news. But it still happens and will for the foreseeable future.

      Didn't you pay attention in school? North Korea is a totalitarian dictatorship
      And human dignity and such things are logical. They don't need a religion to be justified, and nobody wants the shit that comes along with having a religion in politics
      Just look at pretty much anything that goes wrong in this world, you will find many who will justify it with religion and then no reasoning is applied

      The "Grab them by the pussy" audio should have killed his chances but what happened? Comey went public with the FBI's investigation into Trump.
      No, I'm wrong, that one remained private until the election was over, it was the FBI's investigation into Clinton's emails that went public. Which concluded mere days later with "Nope, nothing illegal. just wrong".
