How does anyone still have an attitude for snarky comments?
How can people still find some relief in joking about what’s going on in the US?
I’m more inclined to believe Russian trolls are actively spreading anti-trump-lolz comments as a form of reversed-psychological-warfare than believing people can actually laugh about what’s still going on and how things turn from bad to worse.

People were making jokes even in the Nazi death camps. Humor is a vital coping mechanism for many, many people.

Do you really believe this to be a fair comparison? There’s only so much left when you are starving and outgunned.

My point is that snark and humor about bad things happening does not mean people aren’t taking those bad things seriously, or doing what they can to counteract those bad things. Being all grim and serious all the time does not benefit anyone, and will make it much more likely that people burn out and give up.

In other news: the pope took a dump in the woods.

That’s what really struck me: no functional professional is going to accept hundreds of pages of legal argument being READ TO THEM.
It’s beyond laughing OR crying at this point. White House officials had a major document (or rather, only selected portions) read to them. How are they not hanging their heads in shame?

I feel lucky to have grown up and raised my children in a [nominal] democracy.
alas, your children’s children will grow up in an authoritarian hothouse.

Which means Barr straight up lied when he said that Trump’s personal attorneys did not get a look at the report prior to release.

Maybe they use a definition of “prior” that’s diluted of any meaning - just like “collusion”.

I’m not trying to win an argument here really believe me. I hope you are right with your judgment, But from over the pond what’s happening in the US politically looks like a Hollywood production. Not in the screwball comedy sense like the Brexit, more like in a horror/slasher where You know right from the beginning who is the bad guy or the monster and the good folks can’t do much and are just trying to stay alive.
Keep on keeping on.
