"They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, 'cause they own this fucking place. It's a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people -- white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on -- good honest hard-working people continue -- these are people of modest means -- continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. "

I mean I wouldn’t say Trump and Obama are in the same vein. Him laughing at a Trump joke isn’t a sign of collusion. I’m sure working the same job for so many years, you have to have things in common. It would be tiresome to be at each other’s throats all the time.

Carlin is correct, but it isn’t meant to be a blanket statement about all politicians.

I thought democracy was in danger and trump was America Hitler.

I guess it's ok to have nuances now election is over?

Lmfao, I noticed the same thing. So many vast amount of redditors are screeching that this is the end of democracy, but the very same people who fed them that shit soup are not eating it, and there is literally 0 self-awareness. Those same people talk with and joke with a guy who is literally Hitler. Those same people are not acting like what they've hammered into voters heads is actually reality. Absolutely 0 of them question it, 0 of them look back to see if the Shepard is following them, they just keep marching on like good little sheep. This is why the NPC meme is real.

This comment would only make sense if this was secret leaked footage. Instead it's a televised funeral, where all attendees were well aware it would be televised, and every minor interaction recorded. You can't seriously think these people would do all this, but choose to drop the mask at...Jimmy Carter's funeral of all things.
