Used to have some funny stuff but they just up and threw in the towel. Nothing new there for a good minute. Twitter feed is dead too.

I thought that new FB page The Sadvocate may have been launched by an old Shtick writer or something. I dunno. Anyone?

No need for it now that real world news reads like satire

Liberal satire isn't funny

It's why Babylon Bee is kicking the Onion's arse

I did a little digging and found the owner's twitter feed which is still active. Its 100% retweets of police and Trump hatred. Your post makes sense

I remember back when I listened to 98.1 Scotty Drake would have the Red Shtick guy on a lot and I could tell he was a soy boy without even ever going to his site.

I'm thinking many of the people who once purchased ads probably follow a different political ideology. RS was decidedly left.

TDS and wokeness has made them wholly unfunny.


They can’t admit how absurd they are or dare to offend anyone or commit wrongthink, so they lost that counterculture irreverent sense of humor that makes comics funny in the first place.

The Left Can’t Meme because they can’t accept the truth

Without question. On a related note, from what I remember he triggers easily on those subjects and would rather block than debate.

This tells you all you need to know about him. Now I know why his site floundered. Following and retweeting AOC
