Unfortunately, "Business as usual" in our political climate, is a pretty conservative sentiment.

I get that you're saying Cheney is just making a rational decision but it doesn't contradict the Op's point.

this ~~party~~ electoral system.

Trump also caved to billionaires immediately despite all of his rhetoric.

Edit: it's kind of whataboutism but I'm just pointing out the real problem.

I mean, in the Bible it's explicit that Jesus knew Judas would betray him and didn't do anything about it whether he told him to or not. Not much explanation for that except that a martyr story is a much more powerful message.

Pessimism is easy and makes you feel smarter than everyone without having to try anything yourself. It's kind of a win-win for your ego I guess.

Seems like a fun tongue-in-cheek thing to give one of your players inside another campaign to determine how their time with lors Byron went.

My cat likes me to pour a little bit of water into hard food and then he licks up the water until it gets absorbed by food.

I watched it a while ago, but from what I remember it's partly that conservatives are not very creative. It's an old bit but it's true that lots and lots of mainstream conservative pundits tried to make it as writers in Hollywood, or at least as comedians before failing and turning to right-wing grift and money.

Another point is that political comedy, by its nature, has to express an political opinion, or else it's not "political" comedy. The left wing can do this easily as a lot of left wing problems tend to punch up to the rich or to corporations. On the other hand, the political opinion a lot of conservative comics find "funny" is the fact that they hate women and minorities.

Unfortunately for them, the country is a little too WOKE to do black face anymore so they have to try to obscure that opinion with weird contrived bits. Bits so contrived that they end up having to spell out the joke at the end about how the funny part was that they hate women and minorities. (There are clips of this in the video). That's a double whammy of bad comedy because it's already a shitty premise and it breaks many rules of comedy such as punching down and explaining the joke.

Ah yes, the dream to have less fun and be less fulfilled but make a lot of money. And then do... What exactly was the goal again?
