Like, British humor is subjectively different than American humor. Even Canadian humor (think Letterkenny) seems weird by my US standards. Kids in the Hall vs. SNL. Etc.

Humor deserves a lot of academic study.

And even the President-Elect has some choice very funny lines. Always mean spirited and cruel, but when he makes fun of my least favorite Republicans I admit I get some guilty pleasure.

My favorite was the photo of Mitt Romney doing something good like wearing a mask or some such nonsense with a Trump tweet saying "Such authenticity - what a guy".

I am not that concerned about what Trump will be able to accomplish nationally (I am worried about what he will do in the world.) My biggest disappointment is that we have to continue to look at his face and the hateful faces of all those around him. I was so looking forward to VP Harris' face, her thoughtful speech and dignified behavior.
