5 min

Performing live with Raymond Kampf, Tim jokes that American politics is pro wrestling with a crown for Trump, argues the ruling class is losing power and doesn't know what to do, and mocks a college kid majoring in social work.

In this bit10 moments
  • Tim asks what Americans would even call their current system of government if not royalty.
  • Literally putting a crown on Trump would be fun, according to the observation that the ruling class is losing power.
  • Tim's argument: America has been scamming everything for 200 years and now it's done.
  • A kid majoring in social work has no idea what he's actually going to accomplish with that degree.
  • Social work is just having junkies fill out questionnaires about their life goals while nothing changes.
  • Trump will probably win again, though Bernie Sanders has a messianic thing going on.
  • The left controls everything but tries to give away assault rifles while the right just tweets resistance.
  • Pro-gun people claim they need guns for when government gets too radical, but it's already too radical and they're not shooting anyone.
  • Tim likes the idea of overthrowing a government in theory, but nobody in America actually does it.
  • The only militia thing people care about is defending Confederate statues as heritage while ignoring actual problems.
