I asked the King of Thailand if he has a problem with comedians. He said, “No, no problem.” I said how is that possible? He said, “Death penalty. We have law of lèse-majesté. Offense against dignity of reigning sovereign.” So we’re going to be looking into many things.
Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!

Giordano Bruno was one of the first humans to intuit and thus consciously occupy the universe in its full immensity. Thus he seemed to his contemporaries to be like an alien from a different world. And so they killed him. Charged with heresy, burned in Rome on Feb 17 1600.

He said in the future we might develop means to visit these worlds. Arrested by Inquisition in 1592; after years in prison he was deemed a “pertinacious and obstinate heretic.” Turned over to the “secular arm” for punishment, he was burned before a cheering crowd.

“Because I did not do my job then, I helped kill 4,000 Americans,” he said. “And I will go to my grave regretting that.” Walter B. Jones, 76, Dies; Republican Turned Against Iraq War via @NYTimes nyti.ms/2E8UbvB?smid=nytcore…

“What we do is very little. But it is like the little boy with a few loaves and fishes. Christ took that little and increased it. He will do the rest...And why must we see results? Our work is to sow, another generation will be reaping the harvest.”—Dorothy Day, February 1940
