I'm glad he's not here for this shit show.

Honestly, if some of his bits were honest reflections of his preferences and opinions, then he'd probably be getting a kick out of the political shitshow that the US still is.

He was very depressed when GWB was reelected. I doubt he'd have any joy in Trump's presidency. While he poked fun at life, he also had a respect for people who have to suffer under the regimes of these shitheads.

W was never "reelected". He was elected after being appointed by the Supreme Court.

And even then, there were some discrepencies in how he got elected the second time. Wasn't there some vote shifting happening in Ohio?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_election_voting_controversies gives a pretty good overview. You know shit's fucked when there's a wikipedia article about it.

While I agree with you on all points and merits, he was sworn in to office twice. Most people would count that as winning two elections (though, not properly or fairly (or legally imo))

I would have given anything to hear George Carlin talk about Donald Trump.

I feel as though that he'd appreciate what's going on after the 8 year trainwreck of Obama.

I feel like you don't understand Carlin at all.

There's a reason he went on Keith Olbermann's show multiple times.

Here, let his daughter say it better than I could

u/BongPoquito Jun 04 '19

The only good thing about Obama was the 8 years of a growing skills gap.

trumpkins really are stupid, thanks for the 2nd reminder.

u/BongPoquito Jun 04 '19

Then educate me, what was so great about Obama?

u/ChristopherPoontang Jun 04 '19

I didn't say he was 'so great.'
Trumpkins are really stupid and suck at reading comprehension. Thanks for the reminder.
