      “Is he team Red or team Green?”
      *Little did they know that beneath his outer attire lay his blue wizard robes.*
      “I mean he’s wearing boots, which is more than either of us have.”

    I am leaning harder and harder on ‘political comedy isn’t comedy’ as a rule. ‘It’s just a joke,’ is a far too common smokescreen for people pushing terrible ideas and mocking people spreading bad ideas doesn’t do anything to stop them. It can even help. Politics isn’t supposed to be entertaining. It’s the decisions that affect how we live our lives. We need comedy in politics like we need strippers in surgery.

      Same but some don’t tag their posts and I still see some posts slip through maybe I should block the news communities.
