Counterpoint: it was a bad joke. I’m not offended by it, at least not nearly to the extent the author of this piece is, but it didn’t make me laugh, smile, or even smirk a little bit, either.

All these men are too emotional to be President.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that there is an intersection of Amy Schumer fans and Trump voters.

I think Bernard wants to continue with Arnold’s idea of the hosts expanding their own consciousness.
