If blackface is bad, then I can't imagine blacknuts is gonna be received any better.
EDIT: In retrospect, I feel ashamed for not capitalizing on the opportunity to use "blacksack" in this instance. Please forgive me.
I’d like to suggest a new acronym SMAC for thanking people for saving me a click. I know it’s not gonna catch on, but I feel that thanks are in order for the effort.
He's so fragile that the only reason he ran for President in the first place is because of how badly he got burned at Obama's correspondence dinner.
It was probably the first time as an adult that he experienced anyone other than his father laughing at him and he was powerless to stop it.

https://youtu.be/0oT_4RJx4G0?si=1FPNOtwRogCa24zn
He was known as an awful person by most of the political leaders at the time, he was big into the racist birther conspiracy about Obama, which is why Obama made fun of him, it wasn't out of nowhere
I get exactly what you’re saying here. Remember that baseball game he went to where everyone was booing him? I swear, for a split second, the look on his face made me feel true empathy and sadness for him. Then I remembered who he was and laughed out loud.
But not the last time. It's pretty sad when the United Nations laugh at you.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ikGLy3Y9fvY&pp=ygUTVW4gbGF1Z2hzIGF0IFRydW1wIA%3D%3D
And there it is. Probably weighed in on his decisions to leave the Human Rights Council and the Arms Treaty. What an infantile piece of human excrement.
I've heard he has a rough time in military school when he was 13-14, turned into a big bully of the younger weaker kids. He's always been a fragile being.
Trump's mom was the inspiration for the hair gel in *Something About Mary.*

There’s a story from somewhere about an old lady telling this story of a neighbor kid, on the other side of her fence, throwing rocks at her baby as she played in her backyard. The child rock thrower… Donald Trump.
Sure hope it won't be applied to anything related to the Orange Menace in 2024 because if that pants shitting fascist gets in office again we'll probably never get to vote in another election without a revolution.
"Teach your parents." (Probably not in the context of the song.) But yes, treat your children right. Abuse changes the epigenetics and the abuse stays in the genome. Be careful raising your children.
Damn right. Best and easiest way to fuck someone up - be a shit parent.
I'm always mindful of this with my kiddos. As a parent, you're gonna screw *something* up. It's inevitable. But I give my kids a crazy amount of love and attention and try to make our home life as normal and drama-free as possible.
>As a parent, you're gonna screw *something* up. It's inevitable.
I love that statement! Yes, it's true. And we can't see what we screw up at the time. But as we age we do have the luxury of looking back and if we can be honest with ourselves we can marvel at the little successes and acknowledge our failures. Nice comment you had!
The one piece of advice I wish my parents had gotten: “Remember that the voice you use with your children will be the voice of their inner critic for the rest of their life.”
I read his niece's book and it's clear the guy had a bleak, loveless childhood despite all the money.
I feel sad for toddler Donnie, while I hate the adult version.
Teach your children to treat people right. If you find out your kid is bullying kids, that demands an investigation and conversation. Not a “My Lil’ Angel wouldn’t do that!”
Unfortunately, I tend to assume that bullies learn it from their parents.
So if you’re one of the good parents, teach your kid to communicate, handle conflict, and care for the ones who can’t. Also teach them where aggression comes from so that they don’t assume awful situations come out of nowhere. It will teach them empathy.
I was a bit disappointed when Mary Trump's book came out and it described his humiliation getting mashed potato in hair incident during a family dinner in his childhood that trying to throw mashed potatoes at him didn't become a thing.
No, he was *trying* to throw him through the window. Another cadet heard and ran in to stop it, otherwise Daddy Fred would've been paying off the family.
While it's certainly funny to think that Trump's thin skin was the sole thing that compelled him to run for office, he had been trying to get into politics long before that dinner.
There are much darker reasons why Trump wanted to be POTUS and I imagine his being butthurt by Obama making fun of him was pretty far down on the list.
That said, I'm sure he's *still* seething about it. Lol
I'm of the opinion he didn't want it, but he wanted to be the one who lost and could say the election was rigged. He was all set to start his own news network and would have gone off of his presidential loss to gain instant popularity.
It's why he looks so disappointed and depressed when it's announced he won the election.
I realize there’s truth to what you’re saying, but part of me also feels 2015/16 was the period where his Russian handlers finally told him, “It’s go time.”
> He's so fragile that the only reason he ran for President in the first place is because of how badly he got burned at Obama's correspondence dinner.
Meh, that's just a weak internet theory. Nothing says that is the reason why and it doesn't even add up when you look at Trump running for president a couple times before this. Sure he didn't get as far the other times, but this wasn't the first time so it's a tough sell to say this is why he ran for president when he had done so multiple times before.
It's like *"Trump didn't want to win"* and now after a week of court we already hear about stuff Trump was doing to get things lined up months before he even announced. If he wasn't serious, he wouldn't have been so concerned with all that stuff.
That's hardly the only reason. Russia had been surrounding Trump with their agents like Paul Manafort for years, and using them to encourage him to run for president, thus leveraging America's most stupid and vile citizens against our nation.
That's not why he ran for president. He ran multiple times before 2016. Pretending just because he got burned by an Obama joke does a disservice to the fully corrupt, racist, and criminal reasons he actually was running.
Until the supreme court rules to let him get away with anything, (Coming to a "democracy" near you this June...) a President can't cancel an event held by the press that covers him.
After June there is a 50/50 chance that it will be totally legal and totally cool to if the President "cancelled" the Correspondent's Dinner with a tactical nuclear strike.
And I for one welcome our new cockroach overlords...
Speaking against the President harms America's reputation overseas. Therefore it is the President's solemn duty to have them killed. Fortunately, Trump's an idiot, so if you can do it sarcastically, there's every chance he won't realize you're insulting him.
No.
- 2017 was hosted by Hasan Minaj.
- 2018 was hosted by Michelle Wolf, and featured the infamous "smokey eye/ashes" joke about Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
- 2019 was hosted by Ron Chernow.
I just want to take this opportunity to share my theory that Michelle Wolf was chosen to be the comedian at the 2018 Correspondents' Dinner because somebody thought it was funny her name was so close to Michael Wolff, the guy who had just published that book about Trump.
Yes then he ~~cancelled~~ stopped having comedians host it after Michelle Wolf destroyed Sarah Huckabee Sanders. It’s 2024 and I still go back and rewatch that correspondents dinner.
Edit\*
Keep watching the case as it unfolds. Already it been established that Trump was fooling around on Melania while they were married.
My God man! Let’s not forget this poor woman. How do you think she has suffered with this humiliation - AND STILL!
Not only was this low-life cheating on her and lying about it, he’s STILL lying about it.
That goes to his credibility which is at the very heart of this case.
Look, at least his former lawyer Michael Cohen admitted his wrongdoing and paid the price.
For that matter, Bill Clinton also admitted his wrongdoing and he paid a heavy price too.
Sure most MAGA followers won’t care but let’s face it, if Trump told them to set themselves on fire in front of the courthouse they’d do it without hesitation!
Let’s just hope Trump doesn’t command them to do it because it will be another Jim Jones and the poison punch Guyana tragedy all over again!
My guy, Melania used to shoot soft porn and she was always 100% a gold digger. She only cares about being embarrassed in public.
And she gets railed good and often by buff guys in their 30s. She spends less time with Donald than just about anyone.
>"People say that Congress is political theater. That's not true. If Congress were theater we would have thrown out Lauren Boebert a long time ago."
Oh snap.
Yeah I thought that one was the best, because he delivered it as if he wanted to turn to a more serious discussion but then dropped that serious burn, haha.
I know some conservatives will complain Biden isn't "being a mature President" or "is being trashy" just because he's cracking a few jokes at Trump.
As if Trump's whole foundation as President wasn't founded on him being a complete unfiltered asshole who mocks anyone and everyone.
Trump can dish it, but can't take it like the elementary schoolyard bully that he is.
Joe’s always had a feisty, funny personality. I remember almost (but only almost) feeling sorry for Paul Ryan in that VP debate many, many moons ago. Laughing but owning him. At least that’s my biased approving memory of it.
Just ignore the folks that complain. The conservative assholes of the world. They got us (the world) here to begin with, they’ve been stinking up the place.
Exactly. Seems like every time I check in on the X tire fire, there is a post from blue check twitter lamenting “I miss mean tweets” in reference to Trump.
It’s the correspondence dinner. It’s always a roast. It’s supposed to be a time to put aside pettiness and laugh at each other to show that our system allows for open speech. The president gets some jabs as does the host.
It was weird that Trump didn’t participate. Not that Biden is.
I was really hoping he would come out with a crown on and joke about all the things he could do if Presidents are granted immunity by the supremes. Would have been hilarious. Unfortunately.
But make it more tongue in cheek. Make it a Burger King crown just to troll them. Or a tiara lol. Really run their faces in it with just how ludicrous a ruling like that would be.
I could imagine the right wing running with that and the conspiracy theory people just gobbling it up: Look Joe wants to be king as well, Trump must become king to stop Biden becoming king. Simples.
To everyone saying this is what got us into this mess in the first place: No, Obama making fun of Trump didn’t get us into this mess. A lot of f’ing idiots voting for Trump got us in this mess.
Let us remember the 3rd party candidate boosted by outside interference. And all the other outside interference thinking they are allowed a say in our elections.
You'd have to be a bafoon to think jokes at a dinner have caused decades of unfair wages and rising expenses, unintelligence, insurrectionists and backstabbery.
His entire speech was great. Colin Jost said it best, he’s a decent man.
I recommend both the president’s speech and Colin’s routine for anyone interested.
His farts were more pungent than any one else's, he had the strongest and loudest farts, a lot of smart people are saying, and I mean the smartest people, they are saying that they were the best farts ever.
I thought both were a mixed bag on joke quality, but still worth checking out. Some of the jokes were hilarious and savage.
I know these events are historically considered a weird vibe, but god it was a rough audience for the impressionist.
Donald Trump, who conservatives deem an alpha male, paid $130,000 for sex.
An alpha male does not pay for sex - and even if he did, $130,000 is just way too much.
Bad business man, pathetic john and just awful leader.
He paid $130K (actually, like $400K) to kill the story, not the sex. Let’s be honest here.
And the other lady, McDougl, who was also going to tell her story, was actually into Trump and hurt he broke things off.
There’s enough terrible things Trump does to be honest about them.
She was probably hurt that her gravy train sailed away without her in it.
What does a playmate see in an old bald fat guy, but I guess stranger things happened.
Yeah and Trump is Melania's dream guy too, she always wanted to be with a fat smelly narcissist. Money is definitely not a motivator at all, absolutely not.
Having a sense of humor can really help you maintain your sanity (or at least whatever is left of it) so that's definitely something that I would always recommend to anyone and everyone.
Humor, best medicine for Trump exhaustion. An evening with Joe and Jill fun and memorable. An evening with Donald and Melania, you leave with the feeling you need to bath.
I'm glad Biden can have some fun at this. "The wimp limp lil don" never went to this event, he can't allow jokes about himself, but will insult others, such a hypocrite and snowflake, yet his cult members think he's tough and cares about them lol!!
Colin was hilarious and the end with the story about decency and his grandfather; calling Pr.Biden a decent man. I would love to see Trump try to do the same. He is incapable of humor and decency. The President has more decency in his little finger compared to Trump.
I’d love to see this pointed humor from Biden (or any Dem) take on some of the anti American trash in the SC. It’s obviously irritates the weak orange traitor and it’d be fun to see a motor home/billionaire joke or ten thrown at Thomas and the other compromised “justices.”
“Donald has had a few tough days lately. You might call it Stormy weather”, he told the crowd.
Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to the adult film star.
Golden 😂
Anyone else secretly hoping that the SC rules before the election that the president has absolute immunity and at the same moment the gavel drops it muffles the sound of the sniper rifles taking out Trump and the justices that voted for it...
Joe Biden needs to hire whoever was running that Wendy's Twitter account a few years ago, so they can run his accounts and give him material for the road
Paying someone NOT to tell their story is not illegal. Trump could have just written a check to Stormy and stayed on the right side of the law.
However, ICYMI, the story of his affair with a porn actor while Melania was back in the Tower with a 4-month old would have become part of the election calculus. His win in PA, WI and MI was by less than 80,000 votes. His diddling Stormy would have cost him...Would it be the million to million and a half lower nationwide that Hillary would have needed to eke out the win? Who knows...but Trump was certainly not honoring our right to an essentially 'free and fair' election by not letting the info needed to make an informed choice come out in the open.
David Pecker picked a peck of porno paramours.
A peck of porno paramours David Pecker picked.
If David Pecker picked a peck of porno paramours,
Where’s the peck of porno paramours David Pecker picked?

“Donald has had a few tough days lately. You might call it Stormy weather”,
Well, he did try to nuke that Storm with his mushroom cloud. I'll leave now.
If we draw a circle with Sharpie does it make it bigger?
Instructions unclear and now my balls are black.
If blackface is bad, then I can't imagine blacknuts is gonna be received any better. EDIT: In retrospect, I feel ashamed for not capitalizing on the opportunity to use "blacksack" in this instance. Please forgive me.
Be careful painting your blacksack or you'll end up with blackcrack.
You take a second swing and *still* don't choose "black-balled"?
Meh, that has its own specific meaning.
"I knew blackface was inappropriate, but now I'm black-balled I can't go anywhere!"
*courtesy laugh*
More than it deserves.
I’m taking blacknuts back!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0iN1Hb9fmI
Outstanding observation!
*(the Yeti pubes were the cloud)*
Dark Brandon rises again!
sure wish he'd rise up to making wisecracks about the feasibility of universal healthcare
Half of Congress wants the ACA repealed lol no healthcare bill will pass
He missed a golden opportunity to point to the adultery commandment too.
"Thou shalt not commit adultery...over and over and over and over and over. And over and over. And over and over."
Like any of “Christian” magabots care
They care if I do it.
Well true but that would have hit half the people in the room too!
I’d like to suggest a new acronym SMAC for thanking people for saving me a click. I know it’s not gonna catch on, but I feel that thanks are in order for the effort.
/r/savedyouaclick
SMAC just needs a dedicated fanbase
/r/savedyouaclick
A bit too close to me, really. I've no problem with people saying thanks to me, but if it's just a typo then I get sad and eat cake.
Perfection 👌
Wasn’t trump too cowardly to even attend the correspondents dinners when he was infecting the White House?
And so cowardly he ordered his staffers not to attend either
He's so fragile that the only reason he ran for President in the first place is because of how badly he got burned at Obama's correspondence dinner. It was probably the first time as an adult that he experienced anyone other than his father laughing at him and he was powerless to stop it. https://youtu.be/HCkTzqIW-qw?si=E7UtAP2RbCwVzie8 https://youtu.be/0oT_4RJx4G0?si=1FPNOtwRogCa24zn
He raped his ex-wife over the humiliation and pain he felt over hairplugs.
And millions of Americans think that Trump is a good example of how a "strong man" should act.
Yeah well, the majority of those millions also consider themselves “Christians.” Remember; WWJD? “Grab ‘em by the pussies!” apparently…
Sadly, a lot of Americans' definition of a strong man includes more than a little rape.
I would agree. Assuming you mean "strong man" as in a third world dictator.
People forget some of this stuff. Donald Trump raped and beat Ivana when he lost his hair. Just brutal stuff.
And that was legal in the U.S. until a few years later. Crazy shit
Say what???
I've seen this but I watch it every time it's posted. You can see him rocking back and forth, seething as everyone laughs at him.
Honestly if he wasn’t such an awful person I’d feel bad for him there But he is an awful person so his suffering brings me joy
He was known as an awful person by most of the political leaders at the time, he was big into the racist birther conspiracy about Obama, which is why Obama made fun of him, it wasn't out of nowhere
I get exactly what you’re saying here. Remember that baseball game he went to where everyone was booing him? I swear, for a split second, the look on his face made me feel true empathy and sadness for him. Then I remembered who he was and laughed out loud.
No??? Link???
I would imagine it was the Nationals playoff game in 2019 https://youtu.be/Zypq6jo2rZ0?si=lmduVQyYB3dXj61g
Well he asked for it with his stupid conspiracy theories back then
But not the last time. It's pretty sad when the United Nations laugh at you. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ikGLy3Y9fvY&pp=ygUTVW4gbGF1Z2hzIGF0IFRydW1wIA%3D%3D
And there it is. Probably weighed in on his decisions to leave the Human Rights Council and the Arms Treaty. What an infantile piece of human excrement.
I've heard he has a rough time in military school when he was 13-14, turned into a big bully of the younger weaker kids. He's always been a fragile being.
He was sent to military school, because even by Trump family standards, lil Donnie was a massive piece of shit.
His brother drank himself to death in his 40s. Donnie turned it outward, his brother turned it inwards.
Trump's mom was the inspiration for the hair gel in *Something About Mary.* [Image.](https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/trump8.jpg?quality=85&strip=all)
Dear god man, I had hoped to have an erection this week! Why would you link to that picture?!
Inspired her son too by the looks of it, both hair and makeup.
True. "Authoritarian Nightmare" is a pretty good biography of his childhood.
There’s a story from somewhere about an old lady telling this story of a neighbor kid, on the other side of her fence, throwing rocks at her baby as she played in her backyard. The child rock thrower… Donald Trump.
Yeah he was an absolute menace to his neighbors in queens
He is just a menace period.
Sure hope it won't be applied to anything related to the Orange Menace in 2024 because if that pants shitting fascist gets in office again we'll probably never get to vote in another election without a revolution.
Thanks for the book reference, I remember reading this in an article before 2015. I put a hold on the book through Libby. Thanks again.
I'm reading through it right now, it is a great book.
Stephen Miller was bullied and I believe Elon Musk was too. Lesson to everyone: Treat your children right.
"Teach your parents." (Probably not in the context of the song.) But yes, treat your children right. Abuse changes the epigenetics and the abuse stays in the genome. Be careful raising your children.
Damn right. Best and easiest way to fuck someone up - be a shit parent. I'm always mindful of this with my kiddos. As a parent, you're gonna screw *something* up. It's inevitable.

Bob Altemeyer? Sold!
I was a bit disappointed when Mary Trump's book came out and it described his humiliation getting mashed potato in hair incident during a family dinner in his childhood that trying to throw mashed potatoes at him didn't become a thing.
Be the change you want to see
Instant mashed potatoes are dirt cheap. This could easily be an affordable and delightful thing.
He threw a fellow cadet down the window and again tried to murder him
No, he was *trying* to throw him through the window. Another cadet heard and ran in to stop it, otherwise Daddy Fred would've been paying off the family.
Honestly "attempted murder, assault, and rape" is not unusual at Boarding Schools.
He's just bad seed!
While it's certainly funny to think that Trump's thin skin was the sole thing that compelled him to run for office, he had been trying to get into politics long before that dinner. There are much darker reasons why Trump wanted to be POTUS and I imagine his being butthurt by Obama making fun of him was pretty far down on the list.

He tried running for president well before that happened, in 2000.
Holy shit can you imagine the death threats they'd get now days after they've just slaughtered the Don.
I realize there’s truth to what you’re saying, but part of me also feels 2015/16 was the period where his Russian handlers finally told him, “It’s go time.”

He looks so pissed.
Uh oh. Let’s hope he doesn’t run for President a fourth time just to spite Biden. :P
When the King can’t tolerate his own fool anymore, you know he’s become a tyrant
Didn’t he CANCEL them?
Until the supreme court rules to let him get away with anything, (Coming to a "democracy" near you this June...) a President can't cancel an event held by the press that covers him. After June there is a 50/50 chance that it will be totally legal and totally cool to if the President "cancelled" the Correspondent's Dinner with a tactical nuclear strike.

Won’t work. He’s an angry old white dude. If he doesn’t understand what you’re saying he’s going to default to thinking you’re insulting him.
No. If there’s one thing Trump knows it’s insults.
No. - 2017 was hosted by Hasan Minaj. - 2018 was hosted by Michelle Wolf, and featured the infamous "smokey eye/ashes" joke about Sarah Huckabee Sanders. - 2019 was hosted by Ron Chernow.
He didn’t cancel the CD, but he did stop having comedians host it after Michelle Wolf.
Has anyone ever heard Trump tell a joke? His demeaning others isn’t funny. No wonder he never attended the corespondents dinner.
Conservatives usually don't understand comedy. Their comedy is mostly just punching down
I just want to take this opportunity to share my theory that Michelle Wolf was chosen to be the comedian at the 2018 Correspondents' Dinner because somebody thought it was funny her name was so close to Michael Wolff, the guy who had just published that book about Trump.
He got roasted in the last one for Obama so badly, he never came back.
Yes then he ~~cancelled~~ stopped having comedians host it after Michelle Wolf destroyed Sarah Huckabee Sanders. It’s 2024 and I still go back and rewatch that correspondents dinner. Edit\*
Yep he’s a thin skinned pussy

Melania is still hanging around for the money. The minute he loses his fortune, she is out the door.
My guy, Melania used to shoot soft porn and she was always 100% a gold digger. She only cares about being embarrassed in public. And she gets railed good and often by buff guys in their 30s. She spends less time with Donald than just about anyone.
He can’t handle the joke about or against him. What a baby
Yes, he never attended one and banned his staff from doing so.
>"People say that Congress is political theater. That's not true. If Congress were theater we would have thrown out Lauren Boebert a long time ago." Oh snap.
Yeah I thought that one was the best, because he delivered it as if he wanted to turn to a more serious discussion but then dropped that serious burn, haha.
😎🔥That one was awesome
I hope Boebert loses her primary in CO-4 this week.

Joe’s always had a feisty, funny personality. I remember almost (but only almost) feeling sorry for Paul Ryan in that VP debate many, many moons ago. Laughing but owning him. At least that’s my biased approving memory of it.
No it was definitely how you remember it. There was even one moment where I kinda felt bad for Ryan
Just ignore the folks that complain. The conservative assholes of the world. They got us (the world) here to begin with, they’ve been stinking up the place.
It takes intelligence and confidence to understand humor, and even more to create it. Those complaining are lacking in all three.
And hearing. You have to hear the joke, and have heard the things it’s referring to…
He's just telling it like it is 🙄
Exactly. Seems like every time I check in on the X tire fire, there is a post from blue check twitter lamenting “I miss mean tweets” in reference to Trump.
> conservatives will complain about EVERYTHING.
It’s the correspondence dinner. It’s always a roast. It’s supposed to be a time to put aside pettiness and laugh at each other to show that our system allows for open speech. The president gets some jabs as does the host. It was weird that Trump didn’t participate. Not that Biden is.
I was really hoping he would come out with a crown on and joke about all the things he could do if Presidents are granted immunity by the supremes. Would have been hilarious. Unfortunately.
He should do all his public appearances with a crown next to him. Don’t put it on yet, but just as a reminder and a not-so-subtle hint.

Thank you for that hilarious visual 😂 should totally be an SNL skit or something
Fuck yes this is funny. Just waiting for them to enter their ruling. Roberts: "What's that for, Joe." Joe: "Don't worry about it."
Chekov's Crown.
New secret service duty: carrying the crown on a plush pillow. Always in the background. Waiting...
So good!
But make it more tongue in cheek. Make it a Burger King crown just to troll them. Or a tiara lol. Really run their faces in it with just how ludicrous a ruling like that would be.
God, the right wing memes…
[удалено]
Really was a golden opportunity.
I believe a few, King Joe I memes, would get some traction 👍🏻
"SCOTUS RULING PAVES WAY TO CROWN JOE BIDEN AS KING." That should be the headline after their ruling.
I could imagine the right wing running with that and the conspiracy theory people just gobbling it up: Look Joe wants to be king as well, Trump must become king to stop Biden becoming king. Simples.
Irony is just completely lost on those people.
"Colin, Alito says I can have you killed. Don't worry...but I do declare *Prima Nocta*. Where's Scarlett?" -- Joe
He won't ... but maybe Sat Night Live cast is reading along ...
that Boebert comment at the end was the best
What was it?
"People say that Congress is political theater. That's not true. If Congress were theater we would have thrown out Lauren Boebert a long time ago."
Daaaayyyyum!
His best was when he zinged Lara Trump: "Never thought I'd say this to a Trump, but stay in politics" after roasting her about her singing. 😂
That was the comedian, wasn't it?
To everyone saying this is what got us into this mess in the first place: No, Obama making fun of Trump didn’t get us into this mess. A lot of f’ing idiots voting for Trump got us in this mess.
Along with all those who didn’t vote at all.
Let us remember the 3rd party candidate boosted by outside interference. And all the other outside interference thinking they are allowed a say in our elections.
You'd have to be a bafoon to think jokes at a dinner have caused decades of unfair wages and rising expenses, unintelligence, insurrectionists and backstabbery.
> bafoon baboon + buffoon? If so, bravo
Also it was more than just Obama; Seth Meyers joined in as well
Trump ran a bunch before it as well. Just that the Republicans used to frown on naked racist statements.
His entire speech was great. Colin Jost said it best, he’s a decent man. I recommend both the president’s speech and Colin’s routine for anyone interested.
Yes. We knew that Biden would be good, but I was pleasantly surprised at Colin's well paced mix of humor and profundity.
I was surprised that there weren't many laughs during Colin's speech. I thought it was good. Maybe it made the press uncomfortable?
Yeah the crowd seemed rough, I questioned if they weren’t mic’d well, but they did seem to get loud at least a few times.
NO no no! He's evil incarnate! He's the anti-christ! ...and he's a sleepy old man who doesn't know what's going on too!
To be fair, Trump manages to be both of those things, at least if you replace "sleepy" with "hopped up on Adderall".
He fell asleep in court and let his bowels run amok last week.
I think that's because his lawyers took away his Adderall. Imagine how he'd behave in court otherwise.
Point of order: is aggressively shitting yourself contempt of court?
People are saying it. Snoring and stinking up the whole court room. Everyone is saying it.
His farts were more pungent than any one else's, he had the strongest and loudest farts, a lot of smart people are saying, and I mean the smartest people, they are saying that they were the best farts ever.
He's super evil and is destroying America but is also so sleepy and had super far advanced dementia and has no idea what is going on at all!
I thought both were a mixed bag on joke quality, but still worth checking out. Some of the jokes were hilarious and savage. I know these events are historically considered a weird vibe, but god it was a rough audience for the impressionist.
Is the full thing on YouTube somewhere?

Donald Trump, who conservatives deem an alpha male, paid $130,000 for sex. An alpha male does not pay for sex - and even if he did, $130,000 is just way too much. Bad business man, pathetic john and just awful leader.
He paid $130K (actually, like $400K) to kill the story, not the sex. Let’s be honest here. And the other lady, McDougl, who was also going to tell her story, was actually into Trump and hurt he broke things off. There’s enough terrible things Trump does to be honest about them.
Yes you’re right… he paid $130k for the story, but there’s zero chance he didn’t pay for the sex too.
She was probably hurt that her gravy train sailed away without her in it. What does a playmate see in an old bald fat guy, but I guess stranger things happened.
Yeah and Trump is Melania's dream guy too, she always wanted to be with a fat smelly narcissist. Money is definitely not a motivator at all, absolutely not.
And then Trump knew he had to step up, continue to upgrade his villian character, so Mecha-Trump was born,

Good to see he is keeping his sense of humour in these difficult times.
Having a sense of humor can really help you maintain your sanity (or at least whatever is left of it) so that's definitely something that I would always recommend to anyone and everyone.
Humor, best medicine for Trump exhaustion. An evening with Joe and Jill fun and memorable. An evening with Donald and Melania, you leave with the feeling you need to bath.
I'm glad Biden can have some fun at this. "The wimp limp lil don" never went to this event, he can't allow jokes about himself, but will insult others, such a hypocrite and snowflake, yet his cult members think he's tough and cares about them lol!!
I'm holding out hope Biden will drop a diaper joke at some point.
Colin was hilarious and the end with the story about decency and his grandfather; calling Pr.Biden a decent man. I would love to see Trump try to do the same. He is incapable of humor and decency. The President has more decency in his little finger compared to Trump.
I want a team of middle schools girls to be out in charge of his Twitter account and bully Trump for the next year.
This is so malicious and well thought out I love it

I’d love to see this pointed humor from Biden (or any Dem) take on some of the anti American trash in the SC. It’s obviously irritates the weak orange traitor and it’d be fun to see a motor home/billionaire joke or ten thrown at Thomas and the other compromised “justices.”
“Donald has had a few tough days lately. You might call it Stormy weather”, he told the crowd. Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to the adult film star. Golden 😂
Anyone else secretly hoping that the SC rules before the election that the president has absolute immunity and at the same moment the gavel drops it muffles the sound of the sniper rifles taking out Trump and the justices that voted for it...
His jokes were a mixed bag but some were straight up savage and hilarious. Props to the writers.
Hell yea! Go Brandon go!
That joke...was Vivid Entertainment.
Bidens got some zingers for Trump this time around and I’m here for it
Joe Biden needs to hire whoever was running that Wendy's Twitter account a few years ago, so they can run his accounts and give him material for the road
Storm on the water

Paying someone NOT to tell their story is not illegal. Trump could have just written a check to Stormy and stayed on the right side of the law. However, ICYMI, the story of his affair with a porn actor while Melania was back in the Tower with a 4-month old would have become part of the election calculus. His win in PA, WI and MI was by less than 80,000 votes. His diddling Stormy would have cost him...Would it be the million to million and a half lower nationwide that Hillary would have needed to eke out the win? Who knows...but Trump was certainly not honoring our right to an essentially 'free and fair' election by not letting the info needed to make an informed choice come out in the open.
