A bunch of nominations and no wins is not a “snub.”

Then why couldn’t he implement the popular forgiveness plan he’d announced? He said SCOTUS didn’t stop him, but that was just rhetorical. They did stop his original plan, he just used some end runs for new repayment/forgiveness programs. I wish he had just found a way to go ahead with the original promise, but he…

Wait, how did he tell SCOTUS to stick it when it comes to student loans? We never got our blanket $10k forgiveness, just a bunch of new options for repayment with extremely strict qualifications.

I don’t think they want to do Tues-Thurs, though. So they can’t make it an official recap.

It’s really been a progression from him, that’s for sure

Exactly, and he knew full well the audience was booing out of disappointment that the magic wand wasn’t waved, not on the merits of the case. It was a 9-0 decision. We can wish that were the magical way to remove him from ballots and get him out of our lives, but unfortunately the constitution doesn’t support it.

Stewart pretty much pointed all that out

I think this write-up does not represent the segment accurately -- he absolutely identified actual action on immigration by the Dems (and discussed how the GOP cynically blocked it), and certainly said nothing that suggested it’s an unsolvable issue.

Not to mention that anyone who actually legitimately wants the conflict to realistically end? Absolutely has to acknowledge the position of both sides.

This was addressed on the episode, it was hardly presented as some sort of reductive “there, I’ve fixed it, you’re welcome” moment

I really hate that not having gendered categories means half as many acting winners. There really has to be a better way. Making the wins more exclusive in the name of inclusion makes no sense.

They’re not, but for the TV categories it’s just any new series with an “independent spirit.” This was a fairly recently introduced thing and it doesn’t make a lot of sense, but hey, whatever pays the bills. I’ll take it.

Right? Seems like quite the opposite: centrists/moderates wouldn’t find any appeal in Trump. Who is this hypothetical Daily Show viewer who is sincerely undecided between Trump and Biden who would listen to Jon Stewart criticizing the current acuity of each of them (amid a sea of anti-Trump commentary on a nightly…

Jon Stewart has at no point made it seem like both guys are similarly bad options. 

I’m pretty sure English is his first language?

Apparently it’s like saying “Candyman” three times — mention the obvious (or anything critical at all — all while making it extremely clear we’re voting for him anyway) about Biden and automatically Trump appears as emperor and ends democracy. 

Yep. The only people who thought he elevated/promoted Trump in any way were people who already hate Trump and think leveling criticism in any way at any opponent of his works in his favor. Nobody who could be actually swayed toward Trump in the slightest were moved in that direction by Stewart’s commentary.

How would we know, since all his advisors and handlers are working overtime to promise us that in private he’s sharper than ever and has the stamina of a young man?

No. “Someone not strong enough to beat him” is literally anyone who runs against an incumbent because of the way the mechanism works. It’s career suicide and splits the party, so obviously no decent candidate would do it. Sticking to one term would’ve allowed a better candidate to run.

I don’t think anyone is imagining that, I’d say folks desperately wish that key Dems had put more pressure on Biden not to run for a second term. Primarying him was not going to be the answer for precisely the reasons you’ve laid out, but begging the man to let it rest would’ve been ideal.
