Carlin is perhaps best remembered as witty, sardonic anti-authoritarian and as an S-tier American sceptic.

Searching Carlin in correlation with "It's a big club" shows the relative content.:]

My search assist spat out:

"It's a big club, and you ain't in it" is a famous quote by comedian George Carlin, referring to the idea that a small group of wealthy and powerful individuals control society, leaving the majority of people excluded from real influence and decision-making. This phrase highlights issues of inequality and the disconnect between the elite and the general public.

#9 Thanks, Red.

Would be very, very helpful if the author of said post had provided that context, in plain English.

As you were so kind to do.

Righties don't even try to defend this.

They sit idly by reacting with *meh* as their boy is brazenly corrupt every day.

If you have the money to pay off Trump you can commit as many crimes as you want. Republicans support this.

Ok, this person seems prone to criminal activity.

The MAGATS on this site are completely silent on this topic because of Trump's lawlessness and corruption.
