Comedians: when they're right, they're right!


So you may have heard that several Democrats were the targets of bombing attempts yesterday, even though the Democrats are not in power of literally anything right now. In addition, most of the people targeted aren't even in office anymore. Of course, seeking any kind of sense or order in 2018 America is a fool's errand, so we shouldn't be surprised.

Anyway, in case you somehow missed it, someone sent pipe bombs to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, former Attorney General Eric Holder, former CIA Director John Brennan, former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Representative Maxine Waters, and George Soros (the billionaire financier who bankrolls all us "paid protestors). A pipe bomb was also sent to CNN's headquarters. And, this morning, they added to the list former Vice President Joe Biden and Robert DeNiro to the list?

I'm just wondering: is America great again?

Even better was President Trump taking the moral high road Wednesday night at his rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, calling the attempted bombings "an attack on our democracy itself."

He added:

"There is one way to settle our disagreements, it's called peacefully, at the ballot box."

Those are extremely rich sentiments coming from him!

Comedian Matt Oswalt (younger brother of fellow comedian Patton Oswalt) decided to weigh in on what was happening, and gave us a more lighthearted sentiment:

Has anyone ever captured the many-tentacled crux of the thing so perfectly in one sentence? It's all right there-- the absurd false equivalency of being scolded to "be civil" when running Turtleneck McGillicuddy out of a restaurant; the ultimate futility of doing so in the first place; the creeping sense that our brightest and best leaders' are too out-of-touch to offer any real direction--this thing has layers, man.

This isn't the first time Matt has taken the internet by storm with perfectly executed political tweets. He's taken on everything from the Brett Kavanaugh affair to the scandal over Melania Trump's jacket, and everything in between.

But judging from the reactions on Twitter, this time he really nailed it--perhaps most especially our desperate collective need for a laugh in the midst of this absurd situation.











Matt Oswalt, on behalf of that violent, leftist marshmallow-hating mob, we salute you!

MAGA Furious After Iowa Official Refuses Governor's Order To Fly Flags At Half-Staff For Charlie Kirk

Iowa City official Jon Green, chair of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, has declined to comply with Governor Kim Reynolds' order that flags be flown at half-staff following the murder of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that he will not honor a man “who did so much to harm not only the marginalized, but also to degrade the fabric of our body politic.”

Green sent an email to other officials and department heads in which he asked “that we keep all victims of gun violence, including the slain Colorado students, at front of mind as we serve," referring to students who were shot at a Colorado high school the same day that Kirk was assassinated in Utah.
