      Show me how they’re not…
      Because I can point to a ton of prominent ones that have continuously slammed Trump for the dumb crap he’s said lately and slammed him for this.
      By the way, you did your due diligence in checking on this ‘information’ from a ‘comedy’ show? Right?
      Because you’d know what he said isn’t nearly as hyperbolic as the title deceptively says.
      You wanna say that ‘republicans won’t do X, Y and Z’…yet democrats have continued the charade of ‘everything is fine’ and ‘totally not incompetent’ regarding the current administration.
      Or how they’re not correctly legitimate manipulation of information that the White House has put out.
      For instance, the WH just recently put out about how the unemployment rate is at its lowest in the nation’s history…
      The reality: more people have two or more jobs just to barely get by right now.
      So yeah - when the majority of the country needs more than their main career to get by…unemployment certainly is ‘low’.
      Yet here we are, where not too long ago this was anything but the case.
      And 20 years ago…it was still extremely plausible for a middle class family to get by on one income.
      Kind of like how my house sold for 113k in 2012, yet is now evaluated at 322k in just 10 years.
      With the most massive spikes occurring in late 2020 to now.

      I've noticed that he also seems to slip into Tucker Carlson when he does rants, even if not trying to imitate TC.

    Correction: Johnny Bananas has actually had a pretty easy time. He was one of the most decorated competitors on MTV's "The Challenge" and was a former host of "1st Look" on NBC. He also dated Olympic Snowboarding Champion Hannah Teter.

    Correction(s):
    1. That is not a monkey in a dress, it is a chimpanzee, which is an ape.
    2. The first published lithograph in the US is recorded as being released in 1819, and Alexander Hamilton died in 1804, so he likely wouldn’t have written that in any part of the Federalist Papers.
    3. This is just me saying I’m so happy you’re back again. You help me get through finals every year! ♥️🤣
