What's funny is that two spam bots chimed in.

That's the real problem comedy has.

[VULGAR MADMAN]

Who cares? These idiots haven’t been relevant since 2016 when The Trump lightning bolt animated their monster and it rose up and strangled them to death. They’re as relevant as 3rd tier YouTubers. “Truthiness” was a fake-watershed comedic moment below the par of “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.”, “That escalated quickly”, and The Turkey Song. It’s the same niche Boomer idiocy of keeping perennially-unfunny comedian talk show host Bill Maher in the news cycle.

Truthiness? Fuck off!

Truth is reality.

Anything either is or isn’t real.

Maybe only describes ignorance.
