"Bias" is biased here. There's no reason that jokes should be 50-50% in favor of however political parties are configured. It's entirely possible (and currently the case) that one side of the political aisle is worse and more deserving of ridicule.

There is no lack of bad behavior on either side of the aisle, for sure.

Is this warranted? I don't know.

Comedians making fun of public figures, organizations, parties, movements etc is not bad behavior. It’s an open society.

I don't mean talk show hosts.

I'm taken aback by a president who recommends bleach as an antiviral.

I'm taken aback by a member of congress who married her brother as part of her visa process.

It just gets worse. How are we living like this?

My exit strategy is more fluid than I like.

Trump asked if disinfectant could be injected. He did not recommend injecting or drinking bleach.[1]

> I'm taken aback by a member of congress who married her brother as part of her visa process.

There is no credible evidence Ilhan Omar married her brother.[2]

Regarding the bleach, it's true he didn't recommend it, but the full quote of him saying it makes it clear that he is a very stupid person.

Also, just today, he promoted bunch of fake science and medicine about Tylenol causing autism, so he's only gotten worse at this since his big bleach idea.

I believe that all people are apertures to the divine, and bear that signature.

I believe that each and every one can show us something, not that we must demand it, but in that moment that it reveals itself, we should understand.

Perhaps I am very foolish in this way. I prefer to be a fool.

		I don't understand what that means, but it doesn't seem like that means we should allow crazy people to be president.
