Big if true: Sarah Silverman jokes (?) that Hillary Clinton captured Osama bin Laden

We think Sarah Silverman lists “comedian” as her occupation, so maybe this is the same sort of meta-joke that had ’em in stitches at the Democratic National Convention as she and fellow master of improvisation Sen. Al Franken attempted to stall for time.

That’s got to be a joke on several levels, right? The giveaway isn’t the bit about Hillary Clinton but the Purple Hearts — no one’s that ignorant.

and they wouldn't stop talking about it.

Wait, there’s more, and the ellipses suggest there’s some sort of logical conclusion right up ahead.

…B4 I react to shit I always try & think "how would I feel if this were the other way around?" but it doesn't seem like every1 does that..

Is this the punchline? Comedy isn’t like we remember it being back in the old days; you know, funny. There’s a lesson to be learned here, but we have no clue what it might be. Maybe some of these folks got the joke.

those people are called @realDonaldTrump supporters.

compassion, empathy, and consideration are seriously lacking in our self serving society of entitlement. It's a sad time.

When I'm teaching my high schoolers, I call that "intellectual empathy." Wish more people practiced it.

It’s getting all warm and fuzzy in here. Well, it was.
