Well......You actually mean the moment that the Orange Guy walked in.

And for sure, we were suitably entertained for the next four years.

Though the finale was less light hearted and more dark comedy.....Rudy G deserves an Oscar.

No, I mean it still is. Biden has been a shambles overall.

Biden too old for sure.

But nowhere near as amusing.

And in my opinion, pulling out of Afghanistan was a masterstroke.

Otherwise it's still Republicans who are the most entertaining.

Gaetz for instance, is that guy human or hybrid...Fantastic film baddy though.

Enemies have been laughing at America since its creation, you just were never aware.

It's when they stop laughing and start shooting when it becomes problematic.

Nope, they haven't.

American history is pretty concise 250 to 450 years, depending upon where one chooses to start.

And so inextricably linked with European history.

So I'm not sure why you think that American history is such a mystery.

Exactly, so I’m sure you’d know some of our most embarrassing moments in history that were far more consequential than “orange man bad.”

There's a lot of people that believe the world was created by Trump, Jan 6 was worse than the Civil War, and a Phone Call to the Ukraine was worse than Watergate. Such is the failure of American education and history.

Well.

Do you mean funny embarrassing, or excruciatingly embarrassing?


And of course, history is everything that has happened, not just the stuff chosen to be in history books.

Do you or I know, even 1% of our respective homeland's real history.

Most people don't even remember Crimea was lost under Obama.

How's that for world laughter?

Or how about the bellylaugh Syria gave Obama's "red-line"

That's a timeless classic world joke. A real "gas"

Oh also the ole parlor chucklefest Ben Ghazi, you know, the joke that helped Hilary lose her election to an Orangeman?

That was one hell of a world knee slapper!

Kinda hard to have revisionist history on Obama when the internet exists.

So a left-wing talk show host who is American makes a friendly skit about Obama...

Please, oh please, try harder when grasping at straws.

The point is that Putin laughed at Obama's rhetoric over Crimea. It's a matter of historical record.

All of your revisionist history can't erase it. It doesn't matter if some radical left wing nut-job actor recognizes history as it is happening. It doesn't make it any less real.

Putin wanted to own Crimea, Obama defended it.

Got it, that means the world was laughing at the US.

Got it.

Maybe you are too busy rewriting history to understand the implications of Putin having been able to celebrate in the streets in response to Obama's failed threats in 2014. The entire reason why there is a situation in the Ukraine right now is a direct result of this historic diplomatic failure of epic proportions.

Like I said before, I would rather have America's enemies laughing at us over them marching troops across allied territory. If they wanna laugh and stay home peacefully, the world will be a much better place for America. Celebrating victories over America isn't the kind of laughter I want to hear.

Is that what they really thought, or were they doing it on purpose to make him look bad? 

I didn’t see Putin take Crimea under Trump’s watch. I didn’t see a U.S. Ambassador die under Trump’s watch. I didn’t see the Russians violate the red line in Syria under Trump’s watch. What did Trump do that was embarrassing? Telling NATO to pay more? Standing up to the Chinese and Europe on trade?
