Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

Punching down is bullying, not satire. Humor that punches down makes fun of those with less power, marginalized groups, or vulnerable populations. It uses the power imbalance to ridicule those who cannot defend themselves.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.
