Trae Crowder https://www.traecrowder.com/ is doing the good work also. Very good social media presence in addition to his standup. Check him out!

Came here to say the same - Trae Crowder is from Tennessee, talks a mile a minute with a drawl (I've never heard a Southerner talk that fast, I lived in Mississippi for 4 years) and a whole lot of f-bombs, and describes this disaster with accuracy that rivals Closer to the Edge. He's my favorite.

This I love because Cliff and I had a decent chat last Monday before the NC Writers rally at the NC Capitol. This was about the banned words list from the NSF. Cliff, Cliff's brother author Wiley Cash, NC Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green, and Jill McCorckle (author of Cuss Time), among others, spoke.

I didn't know much about Cliff before the event. And not until after did I get it.

The event is connected to this national movement:

Doug Stanhope has long been my Messiah, but I suppose there might be room for a new Holy Ghost. If you see blue smoke, Cliff Cash is in.😂

Um, I've heard and, better, seen Trae Crowder perform. Never heard of Cliff Cash till reading this. And I'm at a loss to explain why this piece fails to include links to a YouTube video, his website -- or even a damn quote or two!

I'll need to see where I can watch this genius. I think Ronnie Chang does an excellent job of reality with a velcro punchline too. Thanks.

Art is freedom and artists can be prophets and protesters. Telling truth to power with art

I'm pretty sure tRump's tantrum started when Obama roasted him Patty back and hurt his feelings.
