    Not triggered at all, I guess your use of the word hate wasn't meant as hate.

    Trump produces enough fodder for all kinds of punchlines, no one will dispute that. Yet, when every segment and every guest is nothing but political mantra it gets old. There's some SNL skits with spoofing Trump that are funny, but their narrative gets tiresome as well.

    George W. had a lot of them as well, but I could still watch Leno and Letterman. Letterman was more of the one to get a little too political, but it wasn't on a night after night basis.

    If only I had the millions from a HOF career to fall back on. And in related news, my last two classes of the day didn’t show up. I spend the last three hours of my work day on my phone doing nothing. At least there are no kids in my room unlike some of these other “teachers.”

    Here's a good example, Fallon poking fun at trump (along with Trump) without being a lapdog for the dems. It's pretty funny! I doubt too many Trump supporters would be upset if this was the kin




    Edit: It's pretty funny to listen to Trump talk about cutting spending. lol!

    Remember seeing this somewhere ot was pretty good. Some of the early Alec Baldwin stuff form SNL was good too.



    The problem is it's overplayed and after 3 years in, is stale. I mean of course Carson, Leno, Letterman, or whoever made political jokes. But it wasn't the entire show for 3 years running or whenever rating slip. Funny is funny I don't care who its about or the topic, but if that's all you got it's not gonna go far and really lazy. Out of all the talk shows or many comedians it's pretty easy to see rating and popularity goin down. And that's just not from Trump supporters. Everybody's getting tired of the same thing. Look into recent movies that have bombed for pushing pc or left agendas, anyone honestly believe they bombed just because conservatives didn't go watch them.

    I remember way back in 2019 "the Storming of Area 51" like it was last year. Way back then, this would've been a BIG deal.

    Tired of having to watch virtual sports, although the racing is kinda cool. I can't watch any of the other stuff.

    UFC will be on Saturday night, has to be more though.

    Sob never shoulda applied for John Deere's credit online. Buying a new mower but with this virus crap the implement dealers don't let anyone in office. So had to do the stuff online. Filled out app and got on dealers website I'm gonna go through after sales guy talked to said to do it that way. Which was fine cause then didn't haveta deal with ppl and have somebody try talkin ya into something else. Kinda had mind made up on what wanted.

    Well apparently that must send up a flag to local dealers because I've gotten 3 or 4 calls today with offers and salesmen trying to sell crap. Must be slow boring days without the regular foot traffic for salesmen.

    Not to mention Carson didn’t do his monologue or skits with the hate people use today.and everyone was fair game.

    your grandson likely has nothing to worry about...other than passing it on to you.

    Not being a smartass; just trying to alleviate any stress about your grandson.

    I wouldn't hate it. I actually thing Baldwin's impression of him is spot on and can be pretty funny. Minus the overt politicization.

    Gotta remember to switch channels at 9. Richard Pryor on tonight, another legend of his time.

    Oh yeah, remember watching that, Eddie Murphy's "Raw" and George Carlin's "Live from Carnegie Hall", hell back then even Bill Cosby was funny, used to listen to the record "Himself" as a kid as well, just wasn't as vulgar.

    Seems a lot of things turned for the worst late 90's into the 2000's.

    Draft be damned, wish I was born 20 years earlier honestly, 120 years would be more ideal :lol:

    Gas jumped 37 cents overnight. Funny how it can jump so fast yet you never see the opposite.
