Imagine garbage-tier political comedy, every joke is just a reference to a thing that stopped being funny years ago, and 30 seconds of audience screams as parade of washed up actors come out one by one to do terrible impressions, but it's Kevin Sorbo instead

Oh man at one point the cartoon shorts from that were on YouTube and it was incredible.

You were supposed to side with the main character, Guy White (natch), who was constantly butthurt over oppression from his liberal boss and co-workers, but like every episode just inadvertently showed how petty and childish he was over insignificant things. He responded to his coworkers offering to pick him up at his house so they could carpool for Earth Day by burning tires in his backyard to make up for it. (You were supposed to agree with the guy polluting his own air in order to spite people who were nice to him).

Like if you didn't know the ideology of the people who made it and that they intended you to sympathize and identify with the protagonist, you would assume it was satire lambasting conservatives as pathetic ineffectual passive-aggressive manchildren obsessed with self-invented slights to their honor from a hostile universe.

I just looked for it and you're right

It's just insane stdh in each episode and the biggest laugh is always when the guy with the ponytail shows up. You can tell there's no editorial process at all and every single idea they have gets greenlit. Even when I was 14 and writing top ten lists with my buddy, we had enough sense to come up with at least 20 so we didn't have too many duds.

I'm guessing it's that Noted Black Man Barack Hussein Obama is not kneeling for the pledge of allegiance and/or the anthem, therefore ipso facto it makes perfect sense to require all black people to do the same.

A TAN suit you say? MY GOD! I didn't realize Obama was such an insufferable giant rear end in a top hat. I heard he was born in Kenya though so...checks out I guess.

Serious question, what's so hosed about a tan suit? Is there some law I'm not aware of? Are we reduced to "White after Labor Day" levels of having the vapors here? Honestly, who gives a poo poo about this? They make it sound like he had his pants down around his waste and puffed his boxers. God forbid he didn't crease the brim of his baseball hat (which I assume was tan also?)

He's being black while I guess they're reciting the pledge of allegiance? That's a major offense, not unlike being black in general.

The original out of context photo appeared to show Obama not knowing not knowing which hand to pledge allegiance with. Super Patriot, Donald Trump, on the other hand, not knowing the words to God Bless America is the media picking on him.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear a double standard existed and that there was some sort of...I dunno...difference between the two that I can't quite put my finger on but I guess I'll leave that up to the unbiased fair and balanced experts at FOX to sort out.

I have never owned a gun until yesterday, when I went out and bought two. It was hilariously easy. The background check it basically instant, now, so I didn’t have to wait more than a few minutes. Now, I have a Glock 17 pistol, and a Taurus .357 Magnum revolver. I guess gun control doesn’t work, unless... unless we don’t have anything that could reasonably be called gun control.

e: oh and the time he claimed Obama returned a bust of Churchill out of (anti-white) spite, had the pres sec go 'that's bullshit also the bust is there still' but because the sec was talking about a different bust of Churchill (why do we have two) CHARLES demanded an apology and never corrected his original report with the fact that the 'returned' bust was on loan and always meant to go back. He got the apology because of :decorum: and proceeded to gloat about it and slam Obama for apologizing to 'rogue states' because he's a ghoul.

ok im glad I ventured into D&D to check up on this because I could not for the life of me think of a single specific thing that made Krauthammer reprehensible beyond the normal neocon frothing warmonger

which is also an amazing indictment, dude filled his role in such a banal way as to fade into the milquetoast roaring background noise of our ghoulish foreign policy scene lmao. Couldn't even CHUD good.

he's one of the Frum style Never Trump types who love the idea of forever war and massive oppression but are just so darn peeved that Trump is RUDE about. He was, in the media, one of the core pillars of drumming up war support post 9/11, like I said he literally was writing "WE GOTTA GET BIN LADEN" poo poo the day after.

He also just is in general one of those Reaganites who's really loving stupid but he speaks in a slow, medicated, tone that makes people think he's profound. Like, he was all around in 2012 saying Romney would narrowly win and then when Obama won he just casually went to 'well but Obama doesn't have a mandate so I wasn't wrong' and he's the dude who said if we say settlements can't just constantly encroach onto Palestine then we're going to jail Israelis for building additions to their house I guess.

Also he hilariously is a hardcore bible beater who tried to tell Bush to be more open to stem cells but also embryos and clones are evil and PROBABLY is what got the 'human animal hybrid' thing started. When Obama eased things but still kept things hamstrung because compromise he invited Charles to the bill signing but he refused to go because what IF this opens the door to CLONES????

No one gives a poo poo about Krauthammer outside the RWM bubble. Fox News will do a weeks/months long eulogy while he dies and CNN will mention it for like a day when it actually happens. But most of the world will go without noticing it. And that gives me peace on an otherwise bad day.

A depressing number of them believe that mental illness doesn't really exist or it does but therapy and psychiatry are useless because you should just will the crazy away.

They seriously believe that the mentally ill choose to be that way one way or another. That or they believe that you can fix crazy by just going to church s lot and having enough faith in Jesus. It's why they keep saying the answer to school shootings is prayer in school. If we force everybody to be Christian then nobody will shoot each other ever again.
