@georgetakei You mean to tell me that Larry The Cable Guy’s fans have issues with reading comprehension?

@georgetakei Larry the cable guy is still alive? And considered a "comedian?" And has twitter followers? Huh. How bout that.

@georgetakei Like sharks in the womb, conservatives will devour each other; they are thrashing monsters in a gooey darkness, incapable of compassion or remorse.

Somebody once said that there was no conservative comedians.
I disagree, there are plenty of comedians that are conservative.
The difference is they are comedians first, they focus on what is funny.

@georgetakei Isn't it funny how many conservatives think the country needs saved, but fail to realize their own party is the one making it difficult for them to earn an honest living or even to breathe clean air? I guess that's what we should expect from people whose voting criteria comes down to the party which can scream the most childish insults while their constituents go bankrupt from getting sick.

@georgetakei I think Larry the Cable Guy is funny. BUT I think both Larry and MTG are trying to get publicity and distract people from real problems.

@georgetakei

This story rings totally true. If you’ve ever done stand-up, you already know this: Never explain the joke.

That said: I’m strangely OK with Larry The Cable Guy being savagely heckled.

I guess Trumpists can't have people thinking for themselves. They need to toe the line and only repeat the approved misinformation.

Meanwhile liberals make fun of Joe Biden all the time, and Biden appreciates it. Conservatives have no sense of humor. Only misplaced anger.
