It obviously means make America great for Trump and his crooks with the help of the uneducated.

Yeah, more like 'boy talk' and "when you're a star you can..... they let you do anything, grab em by the {censored}. Some might consider them successful, (we know who you are) I'm putting them in the pasty faced piggy predator category....but they do have money and what else really matters, right??

It reads better if you can imagine Billy Bush giggling in the background like a, hmm, like, giggling like a Billy Bush. By the way, anybody know what happened to him? better question would be, anybody care?

@giujohn,

So, you and Trump and Bill, why isn't that a surprise. I have to say that those lines should be used to shock under age girls, if your goal is to be beaten to a pulp by her father. Does this still count as clever repartee in your world??? Well, spare me your weak ass routine, you ain't in the big leagues skippy, not in this lifetime.

Hey, layman. Do you have a college degree? If so, what did you study?
The reason I'm asking is because according to Pew Research, the uneducated voted for Trump.

Trump's phone calls are worse than his tweets.

On one level, this is high farce, a comic illustration that Trump is just as ignorant, impulsive, uncouth and obnoxious as his critics claimed. We, however, tend to look at the two incidents as downright scary. Trump gets fatigued after a few calls. He comes across as a fool to allies who must make calculated decisions based on their assessment of his reliability.

Trump claims he's a smart guy, but he continues to prove to the world he's "ignorant, impulsive, uncouth and obnoxious."

@glitterbag,

What this little discourse is about is an illustration of just how sanctimonious the left truly are. Their adherence to the social construct of identity politics is sacrosanct... Absolutely no room for humor. Couldnt pull a needle of your asses with a tractor.

What a repulsive bunch, defending sexual assault after McGentrix posted a load of fake outrage over a story about an immigrant raping a 14 year old, and even going so far as accusing Blatham of being a rape apologist because he wouldn't accept that this was something peculiar to immigrants.

Since then they've done nothing but mitigate the actions and belittle the effects of rape. They don't have a problem with 14 year olds being raped just as long as the rapist is a good ole boy and not some immigrant.

That's the residual slime that still approves of Trump alright.

Got that right...We uns ain't lettin dem foreigners have all da fun.

This gets it exactly right.

Why Authoritarians Attack the Arts

...Last month, the Trump administration proposed a national budget that includes the elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts. The NEA operates with a budget of about $150 million a year. As critics have observed, this amount is about 0.004 percent of the federal budget, making the move a fairly inefficient approach to trimming government spending. Many Americans have been protesting the cuts by pointing out the many ways that art enriches our lives — as they should. The arts bring us joy and entertainment; they can offer a reprieve from the trials of life or a way to understand them.

But as Hitler understood, artists play a distinctive role in challenging authoritarianism. Art creates pathways for subversion, for political understanding and solidarity among coalition builders. Art teaches us that lives other than our own have value. Like the proverbial court jester who can openly mock the king in his own court, artists who occupy marginalized social positions can use their art to challenge structures of power in ways that would otherwise be dangerous or impossible.

NYT
Humor, particularly satire, functions the same way and so represents the same sort of threat to authoritarians.

I think Giugi is projecting: HE would consider himself immensely lucky if his heroe Trump groped his ass.

Thanks! That was quite good. I'll steal it for the Brexit thread.
