A president walks into a bar: Have Donald Trump and his trolls “killed comedy”? Hardly, Andrew Kahn writes. Though we like to forget it, comedy hasn’t always slanted liberal, and it hasn’t always told the truth.

Commander of nothing: Trump invited members of the armed services to lunch at the White House on Tuesday, saying he wanted to ask them their opinion on strategy in Afghanistan. The spectacle infuriated Philip Carter, who writes that this gimmick can’t make up for Trump’s abdication of responsibility around all things military.

For fun: Just one California Republican in search of the truth.
That kid behind him knows,
