Beats crying, I guess.

Seems there's no humor in Obama-Rice (both belong in Leavenworth) using NSA-CIA-Lynch to subvert the constitution and trash American democracy. Must be another New York City production genuflecting to the DNC-Hillary Politburo. So sad.
The portrayals of Ivanka and Jared were hilarious! And frighteningly accurate.

Oh, it sounds wonderful.
And the chance to laugh through this,
priceless.

I'm sure these folks are great, but you know who did perfect and hysterically funny political parody today? A Prairie Home Companion! Just happened to catch part of today's episode in the car and my gut was busting I was snickering and laughing so hard.
Check it out.

I love Prairie Home Companion, but something troubles me about the comparison. One is a high budget enterprise, while this small off Broadway show is a totally different type of experience. It feels like saying Newsical is really funny and cute, but you really have to see Saturday Night Live.
Or something like that.
Or something like that.
A small off-off-Bway theater can get away with this. But the Public Theater is now terrified of threats to its fat corporate donations after its bad faith production of Julius Caesar. Any threat to big bucks and the producers et al cave in & roll over.

I admire what they’re doing in spending a good amount of talent and money on this show in this current ever-developing climate. This is not a once-a-week show at Don’t Tell Mama. They have even advertised quite well on major cable news stations, which can’t be cheap, so I get the feeling this show (like Spamilton just before it) has aspirations beyond the Triad.
I wonder what the result would be if the President caught wind of this show, though it might be better if he doesn’t. It could put them on the map in a big way, or send protests their way in either a good or a bad way.
Truly wishing the show all the very best! For talent and guts.

President Trump is an affliction tearing the body politic of America apart.
Dealing with that affliction in satire and parody may b fun, but neither can cure it. There's a surgeon out there who can: Her name is Senator
Elizabeth Warren. Let's unite behind her and give her every help she needs
to remove the affliction so the body politic can be healthy, again.
Let me add: It's high time we elected a woman as president of the United States of America; the nation needs her healing touch.

I used to think that far more people in this country are ani-trump than for him but votes no long seem to count in America. Only money does. Only lots and lots of money. They have all contributed to Trumps' campaign and are making plans to destroy the country. I wish we had an 'referendum' option like England does but we don't so there is little we can do about the billions given to the Koch brothers and their rich allies. I can think of a few things but they are illegal but then so it is garbage the Kochs do and write.

Oh PLEASE!!! I am so tired of hearing how we need a woman president. I am a woman, and all I want is someone who is up to the job. Someday there will be one, but constantly mentioning this is a distraction. A woman, simply by virtue of being a woman, is not better equipped to be president than a man. Give it a rest.
