49. Sorry John, "I'm not your fucking monkee"

Oct 29

Part of the biggest problem is that NONE OF THIS TRUMP SHIT IS FUCKING FUNNY

This isn't Chevy Chase lampooning Gerald Ford's clumsiness, or Jon Lovitz lampooning Michael Dukakis in a battle helmet, or any of the other political satire prior to 2015.

See John, neither of those candidates for president threatened to burn down our country and violently seize power through a FUCKING coup.

Jon once went on Crossfire and chastised the hosts for failing to meet the "seriousness" of their work.

Someone needs to tell Jon that there is nothing funny about fascism.

Jon can't be biased. He must portray "both sides" as equally funny.
