Now I don't give a crap about trump, and used to watch the show for entertainment, but tuned out because I got tired of the mean spirited political attacks.

You must have watched a different monologue. In an 11 minute segment, he told dozens of jokes. He did one about Trump (6:50) and Pence (7:55). Melania and Barron weren't mentioned at all. I suggest you refresh your memory:

Carson and Leno could joke about Politicians, be funny and not insult or lecture. Todays late night hosts lack that ability.

And politicians used to be more educated, well-spoken and diplomatic.

Certain of today's politicians see to lack that ability.

That's so false.

Leno absolutely insulted Clinton on his late night show.

The idea that poor little Trumpy has it worse than any other president as far as being made fun of is fallacious to say the least...

Yeah, I remember an old episode from the 80s, Phil Hartman played Reagan and he was dealing with the fallout from Iran Contra, and he was the sweet old man with fading memory to the press, but once in the back room, was barking orders and knew exactly what he was doing. It was hilarious 😂

no I didn't I made a statement, and let me tell you, as argumentative as some are in here, there is no way I'm going any further....

and no his political stance does not revolve around his child, by no means.

Didn't watch the whole thing though as it is way too long of a program. But what I did watch was good and the fashion was great and there were good jokes and not all about Trump.

Kimmel is funny?

and people used to be nicer and kinder to each other on forums, but that surely doesn't hold suit any longer....

I've been a member of forums, in one shape or another, since the early 2000s. People were NEVER nice on them.

Even when I belonged to mothering forums, people were vicious.
