Jimmy Kimmel has been positively, gleefully brutal with his trump jokes lately. In one of his recent monologues (aired Tuesday night I think; we watch after the fact on streaming) Kimmel said ā€œtrump likes to ask if youā€™re better off than you were 4 years ago. Well, hereā€™s what happened exactly 4 years ago to the dayā€. Then he played a clip of trump and the infamous bleach speech. Whatā€™s the opposite of nostalgia? It seems like only yesterday trump was constantly saying horrible, crazy BS from behind a Presidential podium. It gives me PTSD every time I see a clip of trump as President saying stuff like that. I think Biden would win in November if he just played attack ads that were nothing but supercuts of trump as President doing his thing. Voters have short memories, and need to be reminded what chaos and insanity those 4 years were. ---

Voters have short memories, and need to be reminded what chaos and insanity those 4 years were. Agreed. 538 recently discussed how 18-22-year-olds are (currently) MORE likely to vote for Trump than 23-27-year-oldsā€¦because the first (youngest) group were mostly in Middle School during Trumpā€™s presidency, so they know him less as ā€œthat noxious idiotā€ and more as ā€œthat guy that wanted to let me go out and do stuff with my friends during COVID.ā€ If nothing else, such ads should be run for these youngā€™uns. ---

This has been updated in the other thread, but for readers of this thread, this ruling today was by the trial court on post trial motions. The appeal to the 2nd Circuit hasnā€™t even started yet. ---
