    They should never get the audience back. Without the mouth-breathers they take the comedy in new and fresh directions.

    The leave them alone guy I don’t like, mostly because the comedy is poor and repeated, but also because hes a parody of people who are actually concerned about compassion sensitivity kindness and civility. I would be very happy if he was replaced by the ghost of the sea captain visiting or wasps in the theater.

    Matt Gates is being investigated for sex trafficking according to the doj. Qanon proliferated the idea the Democrats were engaged in sex trafficking. Donald Trump was behind the qanon movement. Matt Gates who is a Republican was vehemently in support of Donald Trump. Now what the hell do you Republican see wrong with that? Let me clarify something. For somebody to point their finger and accuse another person of sex trafficking, when later they themselves are getting close to indictment for sex trafficking. That is what’s called deflecting. Attempting to divert attention away from their own crimes. Criminals practice this all the time.

    I had the same fight with my boyfriend last night in between bites of 3 day old cold pizza that I was eating over my sink full of dirty dishes. I was upset that he wasn’t bothered by how many dishes there are because he has no corporeal form and doesn’t need to use dishes or eat or survive. My cat’s disapproval was scathing.
