      He is a war leader and will do what he must do to lessen the unspeakable horror being done to those he leads.

          Apparently the right thing to do is elect a comedian, not a reality TV personality

          Now just need other nations to try other specialties. Someone should do a YouTuber and then we also have a bunch of music genres to try out…

            I think you’re onto something.

            The modern day prophets are our comedians. Im thinking of people like Stephen Colbert and John Stewart, but there are many more people prepared to go out on a limb and say what needs to be said.

            And then you have many churches (I won’t say all, because I know it’s not) who seem to clown around behind Trump and tell him what he wants to hear, and they bring their adoring fans with them.

            All this is to say that we’ve turned our prophets into clowns and our comedians into prophets.

              Comedians are modern day jesters. They can call bullshit to the faces of powerful people and say the things no one else would dare. It’s probably not much of a stretch for them to do the right things too if they’re given the reins of power.

        One joke from the Ukrainian president and the US president gets a stroke over so infuriated and incapable to answer he is.

          The last time someone made a joke about Trump, it was Obama at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and Trump was so incensed that he decided to destroy the presidency and the country.
