What could possibly go wrong with a legion of supporters who share that sentiment?
 
Ya, that's bad. I think that's true of a lot of different political supporters, but maybe only some Trump supporters are dumb enough to vocalize it.
I hope so.

I can completely empathize with anyone who is sick of DC status quo. But things have gotten out of hand when the citizens are capable of that mentality.

I doubt it. Young people haven't lived long enough to understand that liberal policies are faulty. They will understand one day. I'd bet half of this list considered themselves "liberal" at some point in their youth.

Guilty as charged here also. Liberal until I was about 27 and realized, as you said, their policies are a joke for the US.
 
Do you think that list is enough to dispute @strummingram 's assertion that all comedians are liberals? He seems unwilling to acknowledge my poast.
Well, I never said "all of them." In fact, I specifically said "almost" all of them.

I'm not convinced that your list proves that those individuals are conservative... all the time. Not to mention, if they were more liberal-minded when they became famous, and then became more uptight and grizzled as they aged, I'm confident that their more liberal-driven creativity propelled them to national fame.

ETA:

I already confirmed that comics such as George Carlin were appealing because they could make fun of both in their content.
 
I’m not convinced that any of the comedians you cited or even the ones you thought of when making your claim are liberal at all. In fact, I’m confident their conservative-driven realism propelled them to national fame and they only became more flaky and weird as they got too big for their britches.
Well, I only remember "citing" one or two and the main one was George Carlin, and that was mostly in an exchange with uncboy.

The point is, our humor emanates from the liberal part of our brain/psyche. That's not the scientific terminology, of course.

No one is liberal OR conservative. We are all a mixture of both.
 
I'm going to see this dude at Charliegoodnights in Raleigh in mid November. Eventhough he is old, I 'm sure I will be laughing.

 
Your terminology isn't scientific nor is your hypothesis backed by any scientific research.

Just from a quick google search, I found this:

Then those liberals don't find it to be "funny." I know that I find a lot of things to be hilarious that my liberal friends (in comparison to me) are offended by and can't understand why I'm amused by it.

These are the "Mr. and Mrs. Soybean Futures" that Carlin would refer to. And, anyone who labels themselves one or the other is denying the OTHER that exists in them.

That also doesn't address what I was trying to convey.

When one is acting cautiously and with concern, it doesn't seem like a wellspring of jokes and humor... at that time. You might laugh about it later, if things turn out well. I'm referring more to the impulse or the source of laughter. Conservative is "serious" to me. Again, the subjective understanding of the variables plays a role.


If you had a comedian "open for" Trump at his rallies, and they made seering jokes about Donald, I doubt they'd be well received. Then again, it depends on how well the comic constructs the jokes.
 
Here's some good news for all of America . .

A federal district court judge issued an order Wednesday to temporarily block election officials in Georgia from tossing out absentee ballots or applications when a voter’s signature does not match the signature on their voter registration card.

Judge Leigh Martin May, on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, said election officials have to notify voters first before they can reject absentee ballots with mismatched signatures.

The order is an early win for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) after the group filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Georgia Muslim Voter Project against Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp and county registrars.

The Dow is now in the red for 2018

No worries . . . 45 will be along shortly to brag about how well the market is doing, lying his fatass off yet again, but wait, that is when he gets through yelling 'lock her up' and calling for the pummeling of the media in a physical altercation. IIRC, he was just recently blaming the Fed Chairman Jerome Powell for raising interest rates . . LOL. Captain never happy might be in need of a diaper change.

Donald Trump meets with the Queen. He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"

"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."

Trump frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"

The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligence riddle."

The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send Theresa May in here, would you?"

Theresa May walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?"

The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Theresa. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"

Without pausing for a moment, Theresa answers, "That would be me."

"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.

Back at the White House, Trump asks to speak with Vice President Mike Pence.

"Mike, answer this for me. Your mother and father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," says the Vice President. "Let me get back to you on that one."

Mike Pence goes to his advisers and asks every one, but none can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes General McMasters' shoes in the next stall.

Mike shouts, "General! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and your father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?

General McMaster yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"

Mike Pence smiles. "Thanks!" and goes back to the Oval Office to speak with Trump.

"Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's General McMaster."

Trump gets up, stomps over to Mike Pence, and angrily yells into his face, "No, you idiot! It's Theresa May!"
