I think President Trump will indeed Make America Great Again and Make America Healthy Again. It won't all be done in 4 years, but it will be a start. Everyone will benefit, not just one preferred group. 🇺🇲

I think Dave, who is my neighbor, should stick to comedy and not try to be politically influential. I have all but stopped watching movies because so many of the actors have involved themselves in politics and they are ALL on the side of the Democrats which I believe are a cancer on the American idea.

In the words of another comedian, “So if you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech. You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. Come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your God and f*** off, OK"?

(Ricky Gervais)

Israel/Palestine is not a democrat issue and not a political issue. When is it ever a bad thing to remind people to be humane? As I have watched the horrible wildfires in California -- the huge devastation there and dislocation of so many people who are likely never to have their familiar community back -- made me think also of the Palestinians who have been displaced so many times with rubble all around them and nowhere to go.

I hope that Trump will mastermind a two-state solution that works. Where there is a will, there is a way.

The Palestinian people fully protected and supported the Hamas monsters who invaded Israel. I say; kill em all and let their allah sort em out. Nothing whatsoever like California fire victims.

Carter is relevant today because he died. I lived through his bumbling presidency, sat in the every -other- day gas lines, etc. Yes, I love Dave's humor for the most part, but after listening to this, I'm wary of his good sense. Taking a political stance is a dangerous thing for a celebrity to do, and he also left out western NC, Tenn., Ga. and SC as well as West Palestine, Ohio. There have been other "coinsidental" man-made catastrophes this year, as well as 2 assassination attempts on the President elect. The state and fate of Palestine is the last thing on this piece of "human garbage's" mind! PLEASE! Bring on our new President! Bring on bad consequences for bad behavior! I am praying so hard for this ship to be righted!

Carter is relevant because he earned his Nobel Prize instead of buying it like Obama did.

Carter was always incompetent especially in foreign affairs. From the debacle with the Shah of Iran and the hostages that the komeinist took to the so called ‘palestinians ‘. He was certainly not a friend of the Jews. His center received a lot of arab money.

Carter was a hard core Globalist. Part of the Trilateral Group . David Rockefeller’s robot. I confess I am not a SNL watcher. Just another group of sickos.

Respectfully disagree somewhat. Chappelle is smart. He knows the SNL audience tends left/Dem/neverTrump. Recall in 2016 on SNL, he said he was giving Trump a chance to a Trump-hostile audience. https://www.salon.com/2016/11/13/watch-dave-chappelle-pledges-to-give-donald-trump-a-chance-in-genius-snl-monologue/

Chappelle acted to move the broader audience towards a softer neverTrump status, their natural psychological defenses lowered via humour. He opened their eyes to look for the compassionate side of Trump, which MOCKINGBIRDs have blinded neverTrumpers to.

Sometimes even small progress can be disproportionately important, if it results in a change in momentum.

This is typical of liberals. No mention of all the hundreds of thousands of violent illegal alien criminals who’ve been killing innocent Americans, or the 340,000 missing children being trafficked and other gruesome and horrible treatment to feed the elites sick appetite, or the money going to illegals that should have been sent to help Americans in East Palestine, North Carolina and other states ravaged by the manipulated Hurricane Helene, now the manmade wild fires caused by intentional neglect by California officials to build their smart cities (President Trump warned them that this neglect would be disastrous, but that was the plan), the fires in Lahaina and Maui, and the billions to house, feed and bribe the illegals in all the blue cities while Americans are forced to be homeless, etc. I could go on!

This was all on Obama and Obiden!! We all know Obiden was the puppet! I don’t watch any of these creeps on TV anymore. They’ve lost their humor! Obiden/Obama and their heads of the three letter agencies that have been fully corrupted all should be arrested for abuse of power and stealing from the American people! The people who could also do better are the ignorant liberals who think what Obiden/Obama did to America is okay and they support destroying America further!! Just like the stupid march in D C yesterday and these anti-Americans were defacing property as they marched! No talking heads said a word!! I can think of lots of people who must do better, but they always get a pass with the left! How about the 158 democrats who voted against the Laken Riley Act!!

We’ve learned that the majority of democrats these days are all criminals and the left has better wake up to that fact!! Like I told my ignorant liberal brother in law…do you think these illegal aliens will ask them what their affiliation is before killing them???? He looked at me and couldn’t say a word!! He had the nerve to say, oh, there isn’t any crime in NY!!! Let’s ask the lady who was doused with gas and lit on fire by an illegal on the subway!! Why ole Hochul bragged that subways were safer!! Oh sure!! Let’s ask all the police being attacked. And I could go on and on!

I don’t believe Carter was a good man. Walking into Palestine after writing a book favoring them does not make him brave. And you’re correct, Chappelle was unfair and bias with his comments on Trump. Why these people think they know better is beyond me.

While I don’t like where Dave’s coming from, I do believe Trump can and will do better this time around. God gave him 4 years in the wilderness to plan for his return and I believe he learned much from that. He is fully aware of the many ways that the deep state thwarted him in his first term and, in the immortal words of The Who, “Won’t Get Fooled Again!”

Regarding the Trump comment... Trump has been attacked from every direction and he still wants to Make America Great Again... for everyone. He is rich, he did not have to take on this huge responsibility... but he did. He is not a petty person.

I like Dave Chappelle but am disappointed in him singling out President Trump instead of Biden & all the horrific Democrat Governors & Mayors who have supported criminals instead of the police & law & order?

When Trump was President the first time everything was better & cheaper & economy headed back in the right direction, except for all the trouble the corrupt Uniparty & Soros types & the lying MSM who did everything to try to stop Trump from MAGA.

The corrupt NWO Uniparty which is run by the WEF elite tyrants have embedded traitors in our government & military & DOJ in the highest levels.

They are trying to divide us & destroy America because they want a One World Government where they have complete power over everyone.

They want MASSIVE depopulation worldwide & they want to destroy the middle class & take away our ability to own any land.

They want to make it impossible for any of us to become wealthy.

They want to rule EVERYTHING & make us their slaves who will be corralled into their 15 minute “Smart Cities” which will end up becoming like concentration camps.

It is why they allowed (helped?) LA to burn, because they need the land to rebuild their first “Smart City” which they already planned a few years ago & called: “LA 2.0” & they want to have it mostly completed before they host the Olympics in 2028.

Newscum seems more excited about this rebuilding of LA than caring about everyone’s loss?

He singled Donald Trump out because he’s genuinely relevant, no matter what side you're on, if you agree or disagree, if you’re abhorred or enthralled by his views - Trump definitely has personality - for Chappelle to satirise Dozy Joe, it would be a cruel monologue of mumbling dementia jokes!

Chapelle is a gaslighter that believes his own crap! He obviously has zero insight, even about God- God doesn’t hate, and blaming the fires on God- is using a lie about God to further the left’s agenda- (pro- terrorists, anti-American, and pro- Communist ways)!

The fires were caused by the abysmal incompetents and planners sitting in the highest offices of CA government! Newscum, Pelosi, and by extension the DEI hires, Karen Bass and her lesbians, and money laundering “ leaders” in LA and the burning surroundings, set this up for their land grab, and money laundering schemes! They want 15 minute cities to be experienced by southern CA citizens up close and personally!

Let’s see- Hunter Biden’s “ paintings” were insured and he will be reimbursed 20 million, but the homeowners in middle class neighborhoods were kicked off their insurance 4 months before the fire- and 100% re-imbursement is on the way for the rich property owners! Sounds like collusion between government, wealthy insurers and the CA wealthy class!

LA would still be standing if CA leaders had listened to Trump in 2016- fill the reservoirs, clean up the forest floor, invest in fire fighting preventatives and stop stealing from the people to fund your agendas ( trips to Ghana)! But- as it is- YOU and yours will be paying for this liberal money/land grab fiasco! Even though CA liberals stole from CA citizens - the Federal government ( that’s you and me for those in Rio Linda) will be re-funding that! We will watch the insurance companies pass those high costs onto the rest of the country as well, by increasing their homeowner’s insurance for everyone in the nation needing it! The liberal stench is sickening- vote out the liars, thieves and usurpers!

Agree that Biden was a hot mess. Chapelle underscoring that in the moment would not have helped anything, and I think it would have diluted the focus of the moment: his message to DJT about the future. Trump already knows and has said that he was unhappy with how things went the first time, is more carefully choosing people, but whether Trump's "Better" is OUR "Better" is a) yet to be seen, and b) our definition of better is going to vary from person to person. I'm willing to watch and see if Trump can deliver on his agenda, where I have a surprising number of areas of personal agreement--but then, who am I, and what does it matter what one man thinks?

In the end, it's clear that it's not what someone says, but what they do. Even if we only focus on the agenda that we can all generally agree upon (instead of focusing on our differences) it can make a big difference.

Anyways, I agree with Chapelle, let's all of us "Do Better" in the ways we can. It's the collective action--not the collective posting and tweeting" that will make the most difference.

He doesn’t look the same and his voice is very similar, but not exactly the same. It’s not just like he used to sound. It’s like a really good impression, but not spot on and same with how he looks.

He was being very vocal about what was going on in the world over the past few years. He didn’t like it and he was quiet for a while and said he’s probably in trouble for the things he was saying against the left. Now he’s talking up the left again. And, he looks and sounds a bit different. Whatever the truth is, he was nervous for telling the truth about what happened over the past 4 years. Too bad. He was right in saying what most of us knew to be wrong.

Give the guy his due. He did say "all of us do better." I would suggest, in his case, that he might try to begin to understand that the Jews are the most displaced people in the history of the world clinging to their very existence as a people, mostly in small enclaves here and there in the world. If he considers the Palestinians to be displaced, he should really really begin asking himself why they're where they are and why literally NO ONE wants to give them sanctuary EXCEPT ISRAEL!

It was something that Dave Chappelle ended the monologue with a plea rather than a curse, given the excoriation that Trump has been through to get to his inauguration day.

There will be a lot of 'hurty words' before this presidency is over; I wouldn't start picking over a comedian's standup routine and looking for them before it's even started.
