    “Brink of WWIII” is a little extreme. People have been saying that for years.

    No, I blame the parents of the orange cheeto. He seems to have been raised to be a narcissistic sociopath, so just because he can’t take a joke, even though he is a walking punchline (oh please, someone punch him) you can’t blame Obama. After all, he had important other stuff on his mind at that moment, and still delivered with style. I don’t think the hair furor could kill Bin Laden and still keep quiet about it for even a second. He’d live tweet it, if he could get Ivanka to show him how.

    “Comedy”, as Steve Martin used to say, “is not pretty.”

    Hmm…something speculated about since his early 2016 entrance – ‘I don’t know. You don’t know. But a handful of armchair psychoanalysts — reporters for major news organizations, no less — have decided that it all began at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, where Trump was the butt of jokes by President Obama and “Saturday Night Live” comedian Seth Meyers. Trump was so humiliated by the experience, they say, that it triggered some deep, previously hidden yearning for revenge. “That evening of public abasement, rather than sending Mr. Trump away, accelerated his ferocious efforts to gain stature in the political world,” wrote the New York Times last month.’ WaPo April 26, 2016

    Who knew the Rump was so thin skinned, besides everyone who knew the Rump?

    I wonder if President Obama asked the WaPo to invite him. He obviously had the jokes planned, and needed the birther idiot to be there.

    The Dotard is trying to erase President Obama’s accomplishments because Obama had the audacity to make jokes about him. Sad. The Dotard is a real mother-covfefe (gerund form) jerk.

    It shows your parents were right, anyone can grow up and become potus.

    Laughter hurts the cons, without making them significantly weaker. For years, I said there would be no legalization of marijuana until the last hippie who laughed at Nixon was dead. Because the one thing you can be sure of from the GOP is the tangled syndrome of resentment, long memory, and vindictiveness.

    Half the US has the government it wants, and the other half has the government it deserves. Who’s laughing now?

    Nailed. It.

    A significant part of the Trump catastrophe is directly linked back to his public humiliation. Should we blame Obama for that? Absolutely not – Trump needed to be publicly humiliated a lot more often than actually happened. But was the 2011 WHCD a key link in the chain of disasters that led to the Trump regime? Absolutely.
