    I can’t tell anymore what’s true and what’s parody.

      Satire is meaningless when reality is far more absurd than anything a writer could ever come up with.

        We all said that eight years ago as well. Somehow it’s gotten even worse this time around.

          I recall that sentiment during the Tangerine Turd’s first term as well from comedy writers. Like how can you make satire when it’s probably been discussed at the oval office? That alone should make any citizen think about what brought on that situation, but if it didn’t the first time, sure as hell won’t do anything for the believers now. Unfortunately it makes for a poor situation when it happens to the country with the biggest military on the planet.
