    Hey, after Trump’s gone, can we please get comedy back to the way it used to be where an offensive joke wasn’t immediately followed with an unironic bout of legitimate hatred

      @mrmattimation Do I think you are able to get the Trump out of the White House ? yes. There are ways and means to get that done.

      But do I think you can get the Trump out of the Comedians ? I have NO idea how you can get that done, especially for those who have done nothing but make non-stop Trump jokes for the past 4+ years.

      Tell you what though, after such a long amount of time there is NO doubt on my mind that these people legitimately hate Trump. The bigger the hateboner the bigger the chance that they will never be funny again. Steven Colbert, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel & Seth Meyers would be my top list of such 'far gone' 'comedians' that should Trump be removed will in all likelyhood never fully recover. Be it through weakness or through fan-expectations and them caving to 'give the fans what they want'.

        @drinkingpony those same comedians made nothing but Bush jokes for eight years, they managed just fine after Bush left office

          @mrmattimation That's not really true, all of the Bush jokes I remember were mostly about him being slow or dumb, so like 95%+ of that repertoire was already written before he appeared on a ballot, and 95%+ of the near same jokes after he left office simply went to Mitch McConnel.

          I do not know any Mitch McConnel jokes of before or during the Bush era though. Probably because he was still a whip back then.
