[@waltonsimons12]

You ever see that scene in "The Sopranos" where Carmella's therapist brings her face to face with just how shitty Tony really is? I'd love to see a short film, preferably with the same actor, that riffs off that. But instead of Carmella discussing Tony, it's a GOP Senator discussing Trump. Hell, some of the dialog from the original scene could be used verbatim. Like, "You tell me he's a depressed criminal, prone to anger, serially unfaithful. Is that your definition of a good man?" Or, "You must trust your initial impulse and consider leaving him. You'll never be able to feel good about yourself-- you'll never be able to quell the feelings of guilt and shame that you talked about-- so long as you're his accomplice." And of course, "One thing you can never say is that you haven't been told."

[@dailynews5683]

I hate this line because it equates ghetto black culture with regular black folks who have class. In other words, black does not mean ghetto. This trope needs to cease.

[@misterman2830]

​@@dailynews5683 So does the trope of ghetto being a derogatory term rather than a sign of harsher oppressive conditions.

[@dailynews5683]

@@misterman2830 I'd argue that 'being ghetto' is a sub culture in its own right, and those raised in it celebrate it as being the norm. Of course people raised in that environment have it harder and are oppressed, but there is a difference between having class or not. Look at Trevor Noah for instance. Raised in a poor South African environment yet still exudes class. The same can't be said for a lot of black folks from the ghetto in the states. That's besides the point, though. I hate the fact that when people in this country think of a black man or woman, they first think 'ghetto'. You have to prove yourself first before the greater society will accept you as just a regular black person like Marques Keith Brownlee.

Don't worry, the liberals in the US are the ones who travel, and we know.

[@egalitarian-rex]

@DubElementMusic, The coming election here in the USA will have consequences that go beyond the intellectual capacity of many Americans to understand. We have been negligent about educating our citizens. Civics, World History and US History are barely present in the curriculum being taught. City and State taxes collected for funding our free public schools are in many cases being given to parents who wish to educate their children at home. This practice is quite common among religious fanatics and political extremists. This leaves our public schools underfunded and results in direct indoctrination of a sub segment of our children into right wing extremism. These are the people who voted for a completely unqualified man to occupy the White House. The majority of our citizens remain unaware of the broad and far reaching powers vested in our president. Our founders didn’t imagine a world where a completely amoral, poorly educated, mentally disturbed man like Trump would be able to attain widespread appeal or be taken seriously in our national politics. The US Constitution established three co-equal branches of Federal Government with checks and balances to maintain that equilibrium. When our House of Representatives, under Democrat control, voted twice to impeach President Trump and our Senate, under the control of a Republican majority, refused twice to convict him of the charges, it allowed what we have today which is his candidacy for president. If the spineless self-serving Republicans had convicted him then, he would have been permanently ineligible. I am fortunate to have a large family, many friends, and professional colleagues who do not support Trump. I avoid the people and businesses that support Trump. I give of my time and resources to Democrat politicians across America who share my egalitarian values. Humans are full of potential if nourished physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Empathy is the greatest quality we can possess as humans. Malignant narcissists such as Trump and Vladimir Putin are incapable of feeling genuine empathy which makes them very dangerous indeed.

So good, spot on satire that Trump essentially wrote for them and they just cobbled it together

[@sinbadsailor1963]

It was a weird sketch about three former presidential candidates who were destroyed in primaries and an obscure senator who never ran for president and who Trump has only praised. Rubio and Graham said horrible things about Trump and Trump forgave them. Not sure why that wasn’t mentioned.

[@Sardonac]

I really appreciate how there's a lot of humour here, it's just not the ordinary 'pause for laughs' kind of humour that SNL mainly does. The actors convey a lot, especially the Graham character. I hope this sketch evolves into something recurring, exaggerating the absurd. For example, they could all join a spin class and talk about Trump like he was all of their famous ex-husband.

This is the exact same conversation that members of the central committee would have about Stalin.

[@MrRainrunner]

It did remind me of the movie "The Death of Stalin" which was a fairly accurate yet depressing state of affairs for those Russians. That said, Great movie !

[@user-hn1oi8vt9f]

Except Stalin was a communist who killed millions and Trump did nothing of the sort. You are so fucking brainwashed it's sad. You take your cues from the actual people who are Stalin hiding in plain sight.

[@MarkDavid-gi9vw]

this is how they talk about Putin in Russia

Comparing Trump to Stalin is like comparing your wife's boyfriend to Dahmer, respectively.

In the midway of this our mortal life, I found me in a gloomy wood, astray Gone from the path direct: and e’en to tell It were no easy task, how savage wild That forest, how robust and rough its growth, Which to remember only, my dismay Renews, in bitterness not far from death. Yet to discourse of what there good befell, All else will I relate discover’d there. How first I enter’d it I scarce can say, Such sleepy dullness in that instant weigh’d My senses down, when the true path I left, But when a mountain’s foot I reach’d, where clos’d The valley, that had pierc’d my heart with dread, I look’d aloft, and saw his shoulders broad Already vested with that planet’s beam, Who leads all wanderers safe through every way.
