    If you spend any time listening to or watching anything Watters does, it is all satirical.

    How is it possible that you don’t know how to spell “bat”? I’m low key heated that your vote counts the same as mine does. I should get at least 1.5 vote points to your 1.

    He covers some news, but most of his whole deal is trying to be funny. Not much different then many late-night comedians, just built around today's news events with a curve to always make the left look foolish. The times I have watched, I have laughed but take very little with any seriousness.

    i helped design a bat condo as part of the Matlacha bridge replacement. Had to build them a new home before we could demo the existing bridge that they lived under. just another oddity that has crossed my desk. now they have a cat 4 protected structure to house the illegal immigrant bats.

    this is the stupid part. not on state or federal but FWC protects them anyway so we couldn't count on them finding suitable habitat by themselves, we had to build the immigrant squatters a waterfront condo that could handle twice the number of bats under the bridge and name a park after it. yes, there is a bathhouse park out there. go taxpayer

    Although Brazilian free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) are not state or federally listed as a threatened or endangered species, the bats still are protected by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission regulations.

    Matlacha is home to approximately 2,000 Brazilian free-tailed bats.

    but it isn't marketed as a comedy show or entertainment, it's marketed as news, and people consider it to be factual and not satire, and those peopel vote and propagate the satire as fact

    It’s not that you misspelled a word. It’s that the word was “bat”.

    Well..... Some of those best comedy I have ever seen wasn't purported as comedy! If you have to be told something is going to be funny, it usually falls short.

    Actually, when he takes rightwing conspiracies and takes them even further, he would be satirizing and making fun of rightwing conspiracies.

    You’re making it even worse, because now I’m almost certain you don’t understand what a compound word is.

    I think that is demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.
    The same thing Rush Limbaugh did on a daily basis and sent the left into wild tizzies regularly.
    Not saying Watters is anywhere close to Rush, but using a lot of the same tactics that you guys just don't know how to take!

    And this, ladies and gentlemen is the difference between the way Republicans and Democrats argue, in a nutshell.

    Absolutely.

    In a cheesy thread about a talk show entertainer on par with SNL and late night talk show no less...a proclaimed victory on substance, over a cheesey grammar post.

    Coudn't agree more, Murph!

    In a nutshell. A microcosm.

    Pop you some champagne bubba! You reeeeeaaallly nailed it! Nay, you really nailed me! Dead to rights! Spike that football! Do your TD dance....

    You really got me man!

    Ah, well maybe you can help us understand how to take it. How does, for example, did his claim that the 10-year-old rape victim story was a hoax qualify as "satire?"
    And who, exactly, is he satirizing when he claimed that the the 'deep state' is using DEI to hurt Republicans' election chances.
    Thanks for the help
