Hey Jon, FUCK YOU. I VOTED today straight D ticket primary. Eat Shit, Jon because I did what it takes to save democracy and women's rights.

Democracy v fascism, Jon, you seem to be on the fence about that. I won't even get to war on women.

You are AWESOME!

It's the Democratic candidate always must be the perfect candidate ,while the Republican can be any old hairball they cough up.

Read a Fux headline earlier how Ds are in disarray over Biden's handling of Gaza and how it has split the party. It ALL boils down to democracy v fascism. NOTHING else matters.

He Just Shouldn’t Be President’: Jon Stewart Torches Biden at Comedy Show

I know liberals say, “Don’t say Joe Biden is old” — don’t say what people see with their own eyes! You can say it, he can’t hear us. I know you know how fucking old he is, and I know you don’t want to say it because Trump is so scary, but he’s so fucking old. When you watch him on television, you’re nervous, aren’t ya?

He added: “I’m not saying that Biden can’t contribute to society, he just shouldn’t be president.” During the set, he also acknowledged that Trump is also old, but as The Hollywood Reporter wrote, Trump’s supporters “don’t live in reality, and he can lie his way out of most things.”

Easy ticket to clicks, just like a good "both sider' pundit should be. Besides, it's not like there are Biden cultists to terrorize him. He's basically just doing a typical Tuesday New York Times column.

Expand full comment

His whole point is "Biden's too old, he could die tomorrow." Yeah dipshit, that's true of every president, in fact many have died in office, that's why we have VPs. If your point is "but Biden can die and Harris is a fucking nightmare" then say it, and explain why Harris is such a nightmare. If not, then face the fact that Biden right now is doing a solid job as president, and his understudy has given you no reason to doubt she can hit the ground running if it came to that.

Oh and elections are a binary choice, in case they didn't teach you that at William and Mary--it's going to be Biden or Trump, and we know Trump isn't fit, and while we don't know who his VP is, we do know that one criterion he is NOT using in picking his VP is "that they're very competent, ethical and capable of serving this country". So take that for what it is.

Well it would BLACK be unseemly BLACK to explain BLACK why these pundits BLACK have such BLACK big fears BLACK about Kamala BLACK Harris becoming BLACK President.

The fact that anyone on this planet can die at any time escapes many. Yes age is not on his side but brains are no where to be found in the GQP and the orange fucking moron controls them. How they let that happen is beyond comprehension but I predicted it years ago.

Expand full comment

It’s not that you can’t say he’s old, Jon. It’s that I don’t fucking care.

The media has said he’s old a thousand times already. I still don’t fucking care. I care about democracy. Not the number of birthday candles on his cake.

Expand full comment

I'd like this 100 times if I could

Expand full comment

What kills me is that Stewart thinks he’s some kind of fucking hero for telling us Joe Biden is old. Really, Jon? We didn’t know. Thanks Captain obvious. You’re not telling us anything Chuck Todd hasn’t said a thousand times already.

How did you go from edgy comic with insightful commentary to telling the same awful dad joke over and over and expecting everyone to laugh?

Being an asshole. He's appearing with John Mulaney on his new LA show this week. I hope he doesn't elaborate on that shit. It would still be a horse loose in the hospital.

There’s a good YouTube video about “what happened to Jon Stewart” that details he was always more of a centrist than we remember.

He gave the Tea Party a platform and treated them with legitimacy while outright dismissing and mocking Occupy Wall Street.

This.

He peaked before 2016 and should not have come back.

This is just like Seinfeld going out and doing his shouting at clouds thing last week.

Drumpfenfuehrer's infantile, reactive, petulant and aggressively indignant behavior in the courtroom is going to catch up with him pretty gawd damned fast, primarily because it is going to increase in melodrama, volume, and gag-order violating blatant attempts to intimidate the jurors/bullshit the assembled deplorable audience.

Judge Merchan is going to put an end to this crap pretty freakin' quickly, of that you may rest assured.

seagulls are asshole birbs

I like watching them grab clams and then drop them in their favorite rocky area to open them. The local crows have learned the trick

Expand full comment

We'd be existing amidst one helluva mess in the event of any global gull absence.

Their gruff and ungraceful character traits notwithstanding those gulls accomplish a great deal in the way of necessary clean up and carrion removal.

They are beautiful flyers though. When we get a good wind, they soar around for the fun of it. Reminds me of Mr. Dorothea with his skis on and fresh powder under them.

After the 6th round in Zaire, Ali said to Foreman, “You got eight more long rounds to go sucker!!” PAB’s got at least three more trials to go. Joe Frazier was doing commentary and said “I got a feeling George ain’t gonna make it. “ I got a feeling too.

Merchan is probably more than a little pissed about the MN fundraiser scheduled during Barron's graduation

(honestly, graduation thingies are usually in the afternoon, and [former occupant of the White House] usually does his hate rallies at night, and he has a private plane - so, assuming he shows his carcass in court the next day, he's not necessarily being extra fucky here imo)

I believe Barron goes to a private school in Southern California. The logistics would make it an either/or choice. I have a feeling Barron is SOL.

I read Barron's is at 4:30 Pacific, the rally at 5:30 central. Impossible

Takes a lot of chutzpah for Trump's lawyers to complain about throwing aside guardrails. FFS. Fortunately Merchan is having none of it, and told them they should have objected during her testimony.

ineffective assistance of counsel on appeal?

Expand full comment

No fucking way. That only works if your counsel was literally drunk or asleep in the courtroom.

And even then, it only works if you're the right color, and even THEN not very much...

It would take more than this. They're doing what tfg wants.

I don't think they can paint a senior partner at Cadwalader as 'ineffective counsel' though

Could be trying to throw himself under the bus.

Or maybe he doesn't care anymore.
