The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

1. Maybe we need a public outrage letter- writing campaign to CBS

[Skelly]

5. Or better yet

Everyone who subscribes to it, drop Paramount streaming. We will be. Husband is in mourning.

8. Powerful people giving into Trump. It's ugly and depressing.

2. My first memory of satire towards a President was

The First Family (JFK) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_First_Family_(album)

and

a little book called "Who's In Charge Here" (1992) https://www.amazon.com/Whos-charge-here-Gerald-Gardner/dp/B0007EFNYC

Then Nixon on "Laugh In" and "Saturday Night Live"

Ford and Carter on SNL

No break until now.

9. I remember JFK impersonator Vaughn Meader. He was out of a job quite abruptly

[kentuck]

3. Very true.

Goodbye Steven!

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Heard the former a lot.

Will use the latter liberally.

Thank you!

6. Colbert will be gone

in 10 months when his contract ends. CBS - the trump appeasers - is simply doing away with the show entirely.

7. havent watched terreristrial tv or cable tv in years . ca tv priced me out of the market,

and since i live in an apartment , i cant attach anything to the building. i also have 4000 thousand foot mountains blocking me .

10. America is in the iron grip of dictatorship

and will likely remain so until he dies and the MAGA cult disintegrates
