I still think the best way to damage these people is with comedy, like Kate McKinnon savaging Giuliani on SNL. You know he's watched it. You know it fucks with his head.

For Pompeo? Not very many people will remember this reference, but he will. And he'll see that tweet, if he hasn't already. And it'll fuck with his head.

I'm not about cancel culture, especially at the plebian level, but I'm all for riffing on high-level office holders (or wackadoodle lawyers) who have practically written the punch lines against themselves because of their hypocrisy, idiocy, and disregard for decency. It's also really funny watching people trying to go after folks with integrity, like AOC (protip: choose anyone else, she'll put ya in the ICU with life-threatening burns). People can disagree on political views, but it is a lack of integrity that so easily opens them up to having their careers susceptible to death-by-joke.

If I ran into a Trump or high-level GOP office holder IRL, I'd just start laughing. They're walking jokes, time to start treating them like it.

P.S. I don't identify as democrat, progressive, centrist, or anything, but it's pretty clear who will, um, Be Best for America, at the moment. Almost literally anyone that's not a Trump. Except Mary Trump, she seems chill.
