Idiot in the White House | Nicholas De Santo in Arlington, Virginia

Ойын-сауық

This was an open mic in Crystal City, a neighbourhood in Arlington County, Virginia. One of the gigs I did during my trip to Washington DC. Being an open mic, the sound and picture quality is not ideal, but as comedy at grassroots level, these nights have some charm of their own. I have also added subtitles to the video. It was fun to adapt my material to an American audience, in my only second trip to the US so far. I hope you like this set.
This comedy night is run by the Dead Horse Comedy, in Crystal City, Arlington. Thanks for getting me on stage.
If you have or know a venue in the US that could host me, please get in touch.
Thank you very much for your support. Let's make comedy great again!

    Those people felt the awkward pressure of political correctness they have been exposed to. They didnt find the jokes uncomfortable, they found their own discomfort troubling.

No one is perfect. But if we're talking idiots in the white house I will say one thing: Obama never bragged about being able to identify basic common items on a non-required competency test that his own doctor recommend he take while lying about his weight. You remember what shirtless Obama looked like? A real man.

    @@Pwecko "killed lots of innocent people" On July 1, 2016, President Barack Obama signed an executive order requiring annual accounting of civilian and enemy casualties in U.S. drone strikes outside war zones ("Areas Outside of Active Hostilities"), and setting a deadline of May 1 each year for the release of such report.[26][27] However, soon after taking office, President Donald Trump designated large areas in Yemen and Somalia to be "areas of active hostilities," thus exempting them from disclosure.[27] The Trump administration also ignored the 2017 and 2018 deadlines for an annual accounting,[27] and on March 6, 2019, Trump issued an order revoking the requirement. Buddy, Obama was so much more of a man than Trump was. That coward. That pathetic little weasel who wouldn't even report what we were doing after Obama manned up and went transparent. Nothing you say will change this. This is reality. And your hero is a punk coward. A drone-striking "nice-guy" lying little weasel coward who - for the record - is also a legally found fraudster and rapist who (it bears repeating) surrendered to the Taliban.

Nothing funnier than the truth. Everyone needs to lighten up and appreciate the humor that comes from pointing out our differences and flaws instead of being offended by jokes. Life is too short not to laugh at some of the things that are crazy and fucked up about all of us and all different cultures. It's all in good fun. This guy has balls of steel lol
