It smacks of stand up ironic humor. The problem it has grave consequences. The jester could always make fun of the king and not have too many repercussions.. It reminds me of the 1/2 hour of commentary that Kimmel/Colbert/Meyers and the other guy at the beginning of their shows.. It's educational too. I had to laugh when he said he tried to understand brexit and failed...... ME TOO! When he explained about the emergency brake and the representational democracy vs true democracy it all made sense... I like the way he segued into the tool we have that is impeachment that the brits don't..... or a constitution
good stuff..
