Remember when everyone turned on Howard Dean because he yelled weird?
Yes and that was a moment of genuine excitement, however unbecoming of a candidate. It torpedoed his character, and career. Absolute farce tbh.
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Yyyeeeee-aaaahhh!!!
Trump really killed political comedy in the US. Comedians don't even have to change anything. The guy just says the things that used to made fun of. I remember how that journalist said he was working on an exposé for months, and Trump just tweets it out.
I'm enjoying the Jon Stewart approach. Describing totally normal things you'd expect from a president, followed by j/k roll the tape of insanity.
Remember all conservatives have against democratic presidents is gas prices
I really liked that dude. Wonder if he's still yelling weird things these days.
He's also credited with somewhat pioneering modern day grassroots fundraising, where seeking a million $10 donations from average dudes is prioritized over courting a million dollar check from a single entity.
Also they didn't clap for Jeb Bush 🤣
