THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS

Thanks for all the info. Uh, what exactly was their stand against PETA?

wait, what? When the fuck was that? That’s horrible. Did they even fire that one (increasingly disheveled) guy doing the Some News segments? Because damn, that was some Daily Show shit there.

I’m just gonna leave this here:

Yup, not to mention That Asshole in the WH. They’ll denounce him right up until he’s the nominee, and then they’ll fall in line.

It’s worth considering that a substantial portion of the GOP may be getting blackmailed. Remember, the RNC got hacked, too, but that material never got released. The theory is that That Asshole, or his dom, Putin, has it, and is coercing top Republicans (such as Graham) into falling into line. See here.

This story has gotten almost completely ignored among all the other shit going on.

I’m reminded of John Stewart’s remark back in the day on one of the rare occasions when the WHPC was asking some hard questions in the briefing. He introduced the clip by stage whispering, “we’ve secretly replaced the WHPC with actual reporters! Let’s check in and see what happens!”

Stories like this are why it’s so difficult for me to take seriously the pleas of dying old-media companies (and not just a few of the new-media ones as well) that journalism is some venerable public institution deserving of our esteem (and, more to the point, of our money).

Remember, like, a decade ago last year, when we were just getting our first taste of the new era of ugly American jingoism, and some companies actually did run ads that weren’t stomach-churningly tone-deaf? Remember this one?

Take heart, Dodge advertisement! There is a 100% chance that That Asshole in the White House will say something so egregiously, unambiguously racist and offensive by the end of the week that everybody will forget about this.

And where can one see this? Because holy shit, “gonzo,” “social critique,” “Gabriel García Márquez,” “bizarre,” and “Whatever you initially expected can be tossed in the trash 30 minutes into the film” are like all my favorite things to hear about a film, and now I want to see it soooo hard.

You think that’s bad, please enjoy (??) this utterly batshit money-laundering A Block from Maddow:

Running theory on Russian Conspiracy Twitter is that a good chunk of the GOP is being blackmailed. Remember, not just the DNC, but also the RNC got hacked in 2016, but the RNC stuff never got released. Wonder who has it, and what they’re doing with it? (see here). If they quit politics, maybe the thinking is that…

Can you even imagine what it might have been like if she were running The Daily Show? Holy shit she’s amazing.

Russian Conspiracy Twitter has been running the theory for some time now that a significant portion of the GOP in Congress is being actively blackmailed by the Kremlin.

Not to mention that, for example, the minimum wage in 1970 ($1.75, according to the Dept of Labor), once adjusted for inflation, would be $11.23 today.

Trick question, because Rosenstein is going to be fired and replaced with a stooge who will cut all the funding of the investigation, it will be suspended, Mueller will drop his bombshells and the Republican-controlled Congress will collectively shrug, the outrage will die out along with the motivation to vote in…

Also, OP doesn’t even realize what the original safe spaces were. Here’s an brief summary, courtesy (of all places) of Cracked:

Here’s a Cracked explainer about why sexual assault victims come forward so rarely. Here’s another about why colleges aren’t in the business of punishing the guilty, but of making the unpleasant truth go away.
