My condolences to the female writers and staffers.  I cannot imagine they liked this.

It’s a true fuck you to all his female staff members.

I also agree with commenters that even if I bought into Jon’s attempts at discourse here, doing it by giving airtime to a serial sexual harasser is not the way.

Jon Stewart Isn’t Helping should be the name of his show

We need a movement to persuade Jon Stewart to step down. It’s clear he is no longer fit for the job. His memory is clearly failing him if he doesn’t remember  this:

People say Jon and Bill are really different, but all I see is two rich out-of-touch white guys who should have stayed retired.

Look, wanting everyone to have reasonable healthcare insurance and believing trans people don’t have the right to exist are just two different but equal things that people can believe, right?

If Jon thinks having Bad Faith Argument O’Reilly on to discuss the political divide is “balance”, what does that say about him?

Yeah, the main issue at this point with O’Reilly is not that he’s some reasonable opponent who disagrees on policy or even some calculating dickhead who is rallying an easily manipulated base for clicks; it’s that he’s a sexual predator who’s had tens of millions of dollars paid out to settle the complaints against…

Meanwhile Clooney will be on Colbert explaining, like Sarandon, how little power and influence he has.

Next year when Trump is President and the Supreme Court strikes down gay marriage, “...but he had a bad debate...”

I won’t vote at all if these two are the choices

At least the debacle gave an overzealous conservative movement the confidence to reveal its terrifying and unpopular Project 2025 transition platform.

“If there’s not a candidate I like, all of you can burn in a fascist hell for all I care because I don’t.”

Oh gee, a mega wealthy guy that lives in a giant mansion in Italy so he can safely be removed from the consequences of a disastrous US election for four years (or realistically given Project 2025, for the rest of his dumb smug life) has some thoughts about how he’d like that election to go? Dooooo go on.

1. If Bernie couldn’t fire up the base enough to beat Hillary or Biden I don’t see how he’d be better than them against Trump.

Sanders would have won in 2016 and 2020 had his name been on the ballot

Yep. Legitimately any other POTUS in this era would *also* be doing some manner of that, if they had been faced with the October 7 debacle.

Joe Biden is FUNDING A GENOCIDE.

I said it before and its worth noting again. The fucker who wrote the report was a Trump appointee who is making comments of his personal beliefs in an official report. Including overt speculation as to what a Biden trial would look like, alongside inflammatory remarks about not remembering when his favorite son died…
