To be or not to be, that is the question:whether Rep or Dem or lib or cons or t-party or pro-, anti- ad infinitum.How is it even possible to be an independent? Whichever opinion you voice, you are labeled and shoved into the nearest bin that fits what people think they heard. They don’t stop to ask if you have a range of thought on many subjects. Just one statement condemns you.It has become the American way. Pity.
Back in the ’80’s I wrote for a satirical bi-weekly local newspaper.People would often ask, where I got my ideas from. I’d tell them, truthfully, I got them by going to city council meetings !
Politicians are the perpetual gift to comics that keep on giving. The Palins, Trumps, Cruzes and Rubios ( to name but a meagre few ) are a satirist’s dream. In their day Jimmy and Billy, Hillary and Bill, and others on that side of the aisle, also provided fodder for the funny bone.
It just seems to me, that the political right lend themselves more easily to skewering and satirical swipes because…they’re much more interesting than their liberal counterparts !
Bernie’s boring. Hillary’s ho-hum, Martin O’Malley could put you to sleep just thinking about him. But the Donald, and the Cruz missile and Marco Polo Rubio are exciting,interesting, and fun to make fun of – especially, since they can’t take a joke !
So, is Milo’s lack of concern for liberal heads exploding but concern for old guard republican ones an implicit admission that he is himself an establishmentarian Republican, of the old New York Herald-Tribune sort? (The NY H-T is dead, you know.)

The most interesting thing is that Comedians like Tina Fey don’t have to write any material. Just repeat whatever Sarah says!?!?!? LOL!

Since the recent Palin ‘speeches’, I haven’t heard one Republican use the term ‘Shrillary’.

Love how even the Republicans realize that a Trump presidency would be disasterous.

We get it. You are a far right extremist and arrogant enough to think your views are mainstream.

Given that Steve-O is on the can, I think that the sound effect in the last frame is missing a couple of "i"s perhaps?
