Some Much Needed Comedic Relief

Following on the heels of the surprisingly popular drama series, The January 6th Hearings, the runaway comedy hit of the summer is now taking the nation by storm.

Another entry in the reality-show genre, Covering for Trump has audiences laughing from one end of the nation to the other.

Aside from hastily-prepared GOP talking points - which always seem to be written at least two days behind the news cycle - the show is largely unscripted, but the often-inadvertent punchlines are absolutely hilarious!

The spontaneous outbursts from GOP politicians, the Trump-Dumper Kids, FOX-News hosts, and RW pundits in response to the FBI executing a search warrant on Mara-Lago have been nothing less than side-splitting, comedic entertainment that is bound to keep Americans everywhere entertained between now and the soon-to-premier show Indictment!, currently being prepped for release.

Not since the "Our Gang" comedies has the populace been treated to excuses like Guiliani's latest - "he was just trying to keep those top secret documents safe" - or Trump's own ever-evolving tales about how "he didn't have the documents, the FBI planted the documents, but that doesn't count anyway because he declassified them months ago with a wave of his Magic Wand". Miss Crabtree didn't buy such nonsense from Spanky and Stymie - and neither is anyone else.

If you haven't caught any episodes of Covering for Trump as yet, you're in for a treat. Just tune-in any time, anywhere - or you can wait for the boxed set of Republicans saying Hamana, hamana, hamana - kinda like Ralph Cramden when Alice caught him taking his bowling ball to allegedly attend an important lodge meeting.

I am not making light of the situation our nation now finds itself in. But I can't help pointing out the fact that for all of the divisiveness, the violence, the racism, the blatant corruption of the GOP, they will go down not only with their obvious crimes exposed - but with an accompanying laugh-track.

Also, God spoke to me in a vision and said the world will begin to heal if all Republicans march into the sea until the bubbles stop.

we have a comedy show ridiculing Magats to combat the #1 rated comedy show, Fox News.

All that Covering for Trump needs to do is play clips from Fox and add canned laughter.
