1. Interesting Line Up

Real Time is good for political humor as well as getting pundits in a more casual setting. Political satire is an important thing. We all need to keep our sense of humor, especially in challenging times.

2. I couldn't agree more. That's why I started posting the late night comedians a couple of years ago.

I can only take so much stress-inducing Trump news and it helps when they attack it with a little humor at the end of the day - and I figured that others here might feel the same way.

3. Buck Sexton sounds like he would be lots of fun...sort of like a Seinfeld character.

I saw him on Bill's show several months ago and almost puked. I may have to fast forward this time around since I am older and wiser. I will give him a chance, however I will be keeping my remote control by my side.

5. Yeah, it sounds like a cartoon, but he really is just a jerk, one on almost every show

I know you've seen it, but I had to find this to refresh my memory. He's right at the beginning.

and it would cost him the election and he almost is glad about it for that reason. I read that right wingers really attacked him for that afterwards.

I can't wait for him to jump all over the fact that the stock market and virus may cost him the election after all. This is basically the Silver Lining of this whole mess.

It's hard to believe after all the incredibly offensive and scary things we've seen and heard every day, that this could do it, but we'll take what we can get. I still can't believe he still hasn't been ridden out of town long ago...
