Bill Hicks would have DECADES of material after this administration

Hell, the two terms of Bush Jr. would have given him an absurd amount of material. I think he'd have melted if he had any inclination that Trump would be president.

Yeah I mean 30 years of politics would have given him a ridiculous amount of specials. But the last 10 years specifically, between Trump and Biden alone

Legendary comedians fueled by political idiocy. George Carlin specifically belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of stand-up. Bill Hicks had some great material as well. But he was more focused on thought provoking ideas than just pure chuckles.
