Now that his Assholeness is beginning to recede from… everything… it should not be forgotten that his administration was also responsible for more ridiculous content in its 4 years than the previous 10 administrations combined. Hell, maybe all 44 administrations, to be honest. This thread is dedicated to the comedic moments of the Trump Presidency (RIP). Let her rip!

Guys and gals, it seemed so long ago and it involved a man who wasn’t all that newsworthy to begin with, but remember that day that Sam Nunberg got progressively drunker as he appeared on Sunday talk show after Sunday talk show? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/mNhTWFUmrLQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Sam Nunberg Loses His Mind on Live TV | The Daily Show") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNhTWFUmrLQ) ---

Moved from P&E to the Pit. It isn’t a debate and is a joke thread that could use more leeway for posting than P&E would normally allow anyway. ---

Wow, give me a few seconds to make my post. **FTR** : I saw it and was immediately thinking not P&E and not a P&E op. Then it was flagged at the same time which made my mind up. ---

This sentence, that actually appeared in an Official Court Document, is also comedy gold: > [@](#): > > On approximately June 16, 2015, Individual-1, for whom Cohen worked at the time, began an ultimately successful campaign for President of the United States.

Lol, just saw the opportunity for additional comedy by jumping in before you could post your mod note. No big deal, one forum is as good as another. 👌 ---
