They make themselves ridiculous as they try to kill comedy. ‘A transgender weightlifter and a horse walk into a bar . . .” “That’s not funny!” Welcome to the wonderful world of woke comedy. And it’s not as if they say it with the indulgent attitude your mother used to have—when she knew it was inappropriate but was kind of amused anyway. No, these people are not joking. They’ll kill your career, get your children to turn on you, dredge up your every purported misstep, and make sure all of it goes on your permanent record. We’re talking a mentality that blacklisted the “Seinfeld” episode in which Kramer stomps on the Puerto Rican flag to put out the fire he’s set with a sparkler, and forced HBO to saddle “Blazing Saddles” with a dreary three-minute introductory spiel by an academic explaining to the unwary—i.e., idiots—that “racist language and attitudes pervade the film. But those attitudes are espoused by characters who are portrayed here as explicitly small-minded, ignorant bigots.” No wonder that even non-edgy comedians like Jerry Seinfeld won’t go anywhere near a college campus. In a remarkable turnabout, today’s students have all the live-and-let-live joie de vivre of Dean Wormer from “Animal House.” ...Progressives have been getting away with comic murder for quite a while now, not only being unfunny, but also—through their dominance of entertainment and especially social media—empowering themselves to dictate what others should be allowed to find funny. Nowhere is this more evident than in political humor. Whereas progressive internet snark-meister ...

Thanks, I do my best.
Puritans without purity.
Just as long as there are no women with those doing the stoning.
I think most of them were laughed at when they were in primary school which is why they’re so spiteful now. Ugly girls and goofy guys that never fit in. Now they’re getting even with the world.
And it doesn’t cost me two of my own pies.
You sound like we’re related, I heard rumors mom had a second son…
Sage advice. Say it loud-Say it proud.
Agreed. I noticed the WSJ started losing its way about the time they hired Max Boot. It may have begun earlier but after the Boot hiring it became obvious to me that the WSJ wasn’t your father’s paper anymore.
Or the Mensheviks and Russian Whites had some nutty Bolshevik jokes that had them laughing all the way to the execution pit.
Mock them, make fun of them, laugh at them, just back it up with force.
I like your idea, but we need to include the sword for some regardless of them being martyred. Some evil doers are just too powerfully evil to be allowed to continue breathing.
What’s the difference between an antifa chick and a muslim woman?
The antifa chick get raped AFTER she gets stoned
I agree that the traitorous leftists should be mocked and ridiculed at every opportunity.
But we already see the left’s response has been to demand that the First Amendment be curtailed and ultimately eliminated, and they have worked to ban such mockery and ridicule of themselves from YouTube and other websites, enemedia news, public forums, peaceful demonstrations, and local participation in civic meetings, in some cases by threats and violence (with law enforcement and corrupt judges acquiescing to leftist demands and illegalities).
If the patriots resort to vigilantism, then they becomes no better than the traitorous left.
Only open trials, convictions, and sentencing under the law will separate the patriotic Americans from the convicted leftists. And such trials and convictions should be part of the education of school children so that when they become adults, they will know their responsibilities when domestic leftists again try to subvert this nation.
At what point do they round up the 10-year-old boys?
I can’t really laugh at the Left anymore. I mean literally. They’re making me wear a shock collar that shocks me REALLY BAD if I just chuckle at something. Someone got a court order because I was laughing too much. *laughs*
OWWWWWWWW!!!~!!!!!
We got the WSJ for over two decades, then dropped it from their terrible attitudes toward Trump.
Sad.
Words?? Since when has words stopped the Left from advancing their agenda? We’ve been laughing at them, exposing their hypocrisy, protesting, shredding them with facts and common sense for years, and it hasn’t even slowed them down. Just having the Truth on our side is no guarantee of victory.
So True!
that’s why I go to DRYBAR on youtube.
Funny clean humor.
How government provides services
During the legitimate HUAC investigations, which uncovered many communists hidden in the government, agents learned of a trick to spot fanatics.
Fanatics develop a rigid mindset of reality. It is a small, rigid subset. Ideas that cannot be integrated into that compact area are just ignored as irrational data, static.
Instead of just disregarding the irrational, normal people use a defensive measure to protect themselves: laughter.
So here’s the trick: fanatics cannot genuinely and spontaneously laugh. Any laughter they produce is forced and false. So investigators would tell them a recent joke or two.
Importantly, this was not an “acid test”, just a strong indicator.
This is why humor won’t work on them. But what might work on them are techniques to disrupt their mindset. However this is risky, as when it collapses, they would have a nervous breakdown.
