Obviously not.

And let us remember that criticisin politics in general, and more specifically
the party in power has ALWAYS been an American hobby. Many comedians poke
fun of the foibles of people thay voted for. I WON'T tell you who I voted for
because it's none of your business. But I have joked about Kennedy, Nixon,
Carter, Reagan, Bush Perot, Clinton, Dole (the bannana man) and many other
prominent in American politics, regardless of party.

That implies that his rhetorix and criticism empower to solve
lesser problems.

>and not a forum for political discussions.

We weren't discussing politics. We were making JOKES. Like Star Trek, Jurrasic
Park, and innumerable other topics that have served as fodder for our humors.
Politics didn't enter until your long post, which began by declaring where your
vote went.

Humor is non-partisan. Sorry I ruined your day. I'll put up a 'fragile' sign.
