    Okay Trump is fascism. So how did a fascist get elected directly after one of the greatest presidents of all time had his second term? What could have caused that? What condition was the country in at the end of Obama's term that caused Trump to take power? Certainly the non-fascist and intelligent, technocratic, moral Democrats couldn't have created the conditions for fascism, right? I mean certainly the intelligent Harvard grads and coastal intelligentsia aren't suggesting fascism comes out of nowhere?

    Also here's a good comedy tip: Just yell what you believe. That's super funny and a very comedic thing to do. Especially in a funny voice.

      Ok who remembers when NYT had that gusano "Venezuelan" "comedienne" make a cutesy video about how actually sweety NOT doing a coup in Venezuela is the bloodier choice--I think the video literally ended with "sometimes 'hands off' means blood on your hands"--and it turns out her father is connected to some American/western foreign policy think tank...but more importantly her comedy bits were basically her yelling into her phone on Twitter?

        I was a Johanna Hausmann fan (why are gusanos always of euro descent) but that vid made me unsub real quick.

          I remember that last name raising many eyebrows at first but her ancestry apparently fled the Holocaust, not the Nuremberg trials.
