and you can turn that into a joke, it s a high. sometimes when i m at home late at night on twitter, i think of something, and i say i could end it all right now with these two little thumbs. north korea conducted what they claim was a successful test of their biggest nuclear warhead yet. i m glad they re finally figuring that out. would someone tell kim jong un they like his glasses and he looks great whether it comes to comedy, you look for something people know about or are talking about, and give your take on it. when you do topical humor, it goes right to the brain and the heart and the stomach all at the same time. you know, they reintroduce the mcrib every year, it s not big news. the power of topical humor is everybody s on the same page. it s already primed and they re laughing already, then your joke has rocket fuel in it. the best comedy feels novel, like you have never heard it before. the things that are happening in the headlines give rise to brand n
off. politicians are very visible, and they tend to be liars, which is great, so you can really go after them. it s making me angry, and i feel like screaming, but i m unsure about how far my neck veins can safely bulge out of my neck. political humor, now that it s become such a farce, it s hard to out do it. yes, this is real life. this is really happening. . i cannot believe the men and women that we have chosen to be our leaders, you watch the in-house footage of congressional hearings, and i think what sort of empty headed pez dispenser say answer am i watching here. politics is one of the most egregious areas of society, great fodder for society! in the white house, in the oval office on the wall, obama has the original copy of the emancipation proclamation, which i m pretty sure is just there in case the tea party is like we don t think you re free, look at the wall. politicians are so loathsome, but we re stuck with them. we can t prosecute all of them

and so in that moment what you see on dr. fauci, this is what people say to me that he doesn t represent science to them. he represents joseph, dr. joseph of the nazi doctor that did experiments on people. the way some people say getting nasty stuff in. to show you how ludicrous but how offensive that comparison is, let me talk a bit about who joseph mengele is, he sevened as a physician at the auschwitz concentration camp and the embodiment of absolute evil, a doctor assigned to select who would die or live only to be subject to the ghoulish human experiments he over saw and enamored of tortuing twins. dr. fauci that seen this nation through aids, bio terrorism, ebola, swine flu and now covid is nothing like joseph mengele or like the creator of fascism because that too is offensive. it s a comparison tucker carlson made on his show but doesn t make sense. making sense is hardly the point. it s about power and spreading lies and fake outrage so the maga squad wins electi
