I could only watch the first one this time, the stuff MF45 put out is such a gut punch, wrapping it in comedy leaves the taste just as bitter. I appreciate the way you present the vids, as always,

Stephen has been outspoken about Trump before, but this is the farthest he's pushed the envelope that I've seen - his audience actually stood up! And the Opening was quite clever. But I sure understand, there are so many times these days that I just have to walk away or change the channel. Nevertheless I'm just glad that the late night vacations are over... it's been a long two weeks.

I'll have to play the second clip the next time my brother gets obnoxious. I love the audience sentiment about Trump.

With good reason, obviously - but it seems to me like he's pushing the envelope even more - and that's saying a lot!

I think SC deserves a medal for his service to the Resistance. I am not kidding!
