Omg did you see last night? David Tennant reading Scottish insults to Donald trump. The end of me.

Full Frontal has the same zany fury that permeated the Daily Show, but even better. Samantha Bee is a genius.

The description of Full Frontal that I got off Google says, “After spending 12 years on the Comedy Central juggernaut, Bee was not approached to replace departing host Jon Stewart, opening the door to her own series on TBS.” No idea how accurate that is, but the implication is she would have accepted the offer to host

I don’t think the problem is that it’s unfunny, but what it implies.
SCOTUS rule was something really important for women’s autonomy and health, and in the Twitt those same women stopped being subjects of the ruling and became passive objects to be used by the assumed readers (women still watch TDS!). It also

Yep, the true inheritor of Stewart’s crown is Samantha Bee’s incisive Full Frontal. I can’t even remember the last time I watched a clip of The Daily Show, much less a full episode.

He is emphatically unfunny and while I also doubt he wrote this tweet it’s in line with his particular brand of bad comedy.

There is nothing to like. His stand up is awful.

Even though Trevor Noah probably didn’t have anything to do with the tweet, this post still reminds me of how downhill the show has gone since John Stewart left. It’s cringe inducing.

I heard this news in traffic, at a stoplight, listening to NPR. I yelled “Yes!” and made the pictured gesture. Other women in other cars reacted similarly. It was great.

Did you hear that moreover Texas was hiding the evidence of the NEGATIVE effect the law was already having? The whistle blower in this story is a ducking hero. I want to meet him/her and buy him/her a beer. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/e…

WHO ARE ALL OF YOU TERRIFYING PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIE ABOUT HAVING GUNS IN THEIR HOUSE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN PLAYING THERE??? This is seriously the most fucking insane thing I have ever heard. What is WRONG with you??? Why is your love for guns more important than allowing those who dislike guns

As someone who has struggled with suicidal depression, I can say A) that I know if I had access to a gun, I would be dead, B) my life matters and I’m glad I’m alive C) if I had a gun for protection and used it to commit suicide, it is a death that wouldn’t have happened otherwise, and would still be tragic. I’m glad

I personally would rather be weird than my child be dead. I also don’t let my kid ride in a back seat that only has a lap seat belt. I really don’t care what I look like as long as my kid is as safe as I can deem him to be.

Utter bullshit. My sister was around all sorts of methods like knives for years. It wasn’t until an uncle, unaware of her mental illness, gave her a gun that she successfully committed suicide. That idea of a moment of shocking obliteration draws them. That it completely obliterates them means it will work, unlike

So suicides aren’t real gun deaths to you? Our death rate from suicide by gun is many orders of magnitude higher than any other 1st world country. Speaking as someone who has struggled with severe, suicidal depression, fuck you. the only reason I’m not dead right now is that my family did not own a gun and last year,

Oh come on. You do realize that a gun is much more effective, much more deadly than most “other means” and suicide is often an impulse act. This whole “Gee, he would have found another way,” is one of the most bullshit arguments of all. If that’s the case, why do we bother with ANY security? Why do we try to keep guns

“Law-abiding gun owners” is a dogwhistle for “white people”.

In Germany gun permits are only valid for 3 years and people applying for one have to go through a test to evaluate their character/sanity and their need for a gun. A person must be at higher risk than the general population and a gun has to be a reasonable tool for minimizing that risk* to be deemed as in need of a

People missing the point will try to point out that she apparently was only using a pistol at the time, so likely not a type of gun that is currently being targeted by gun control advocates. But the real point is the disconnect between the dream—I will use this to protect my family!!!—and the reality—that it is far

It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away, but that’s exactly what Democrats are determined to do by banning semi-automatic handguns.
