I agree with you, but sometimes a comic makes a political point that just opens up a political dialogue. It’s at that point I sometimes get sucked in and express my views. I’d rather just enjoy my comics with a cup of coffee and ease into the morning.
No need to leave your loved one out in the cold. At Bob’s Berserko Lounge, your car is as welcome as you are!Refuel yourself in an atmosphere of righteous indignation.-There couldn’t be a Firesign Theater today.
Gee… politics only affects how much we pay in taxes, what we’re allowed to do in the privacy of our own homes, whether our sons will end up being killed in some foreign country, whether we’ll have roads and bridges that aren’t falling apart… yeah, I can see how we don’t want to ever talk about things like that. Better to leave politics to the professionals, like those guys on the TV.
A relative once insisted the shouting matches on FOX were what political debates should be.I pointed out that those “debates” are what get you thrown out of bars.And I guess this is one of those bars.
My open mic message: I saw the strangest thing a couple of days ago. It was a car with a bumpter sticker that said “TRUMP” in tasteful white-on-subdued-blue letters. My mouth hung open and I tried to stare into the car window to see WHAT was driving.
Drinks are on me, if you can abstain from mentioning, discussing, intimating, or suggesting anything remotely connected to politics, government, or current affairs ( other than your own ) for 2 hours in a bar !
Two trolls go into a bar where they argue politics. At closing time one leaves and goes home satisfied that he won the argument. Later the next morning the other goes home the proud owner of the bar he just bought. Before he leaves he hangs a sign on he door: TALKING POLITICS PROHIBITED IN THIS BAR. Anybody know the moral?
Bars are where people sometimes get real drunk. Real drunk people lose their inhibitions and let emotions take over. People who let their emotions take over can be set off easily. People who get set off easily can become violent. Good reason for avoiding button-pushing issues such as politics, religion, or, in a cowboy bar, gun control.
Few men of first class ability can afford to let their affairs go to ruin while they fool away their time in Legislatures…But your chattering, one-horse village lawyer likes it, and your solemn ass from the cow countries, who don’t know the Constitution from the Lord’s Prayer, enjoys it, and these you always find in the Assembly; the one gabble, gabble, gabbling threadbare platitudes and ‘give-me-liberty-or give-me-death’ buncombe from morning to night, and the other asleep, with his slab-soled brogans set up like a couple of grave-stones on the top of his desk.— Mark Twain.- Letter to Sacramento Daily Union, June 20, 1866
Okay. But I’m going to make mine with fresh fruit and vodka. That way, I can gain a following. Sure, while we are all wasted and obnoxious, it might seem like it must have been something more awful, but it doesn’t need to be. Once you pour it into your skin-bag, it transforms into the shape of the container.

The Trump Hour should be from 7 PM to 8 PM, an hour billed as comedy, not politics.

Now we know why all those politicians are so prone to “mis-speaking” : they’re flapping their jaws at 2 or 3 in the morning!
