I first recognized in myself how I felt about so many current events and life itself thanks to the words and comedy of Jon Stewart awakening my opinions, and I've never regretted learning from him...still do!!!

My entire life the Daily Show has been the only reliable source of news and that's fucking horrifying. Cable news was dead ages ago when it gave into the 24 hour cycle, but now it's just completely fucked beyond saving.

Jon Stewart is my favourite journalist. The other journalists I pay attention to are either comedians or independent youtubers. The rest are all paid for by advertising, and just as boring.

Dear America You are not remotely angry enough or active enough. Not even 1% You cant wait until November and hope all will be fine, because it won't How many more people have to die or have their lives destroyed before you act?

Jon Stewart is a man out of time honestly. He was still both sidesing a decade after it had become abundantly clear to literally everyone that both sides were not in fact the same

He's much like the gadfly in 'V for Vendetta.' He's the safe yet salty clown for the elite. He looks & dresses exactly like one of them, so they won't be upset when he makes them a bit uncomfortable. Had he been born much earlier, he'd be the King's jester at court.

Trevor Noah was an excellent successor And South Park and the current daily show hosts deliver the hits, despite being owned by a Trump loyalist i wonder if david Ellison knew what he was getting when he signed their contracts

You people make me sick. Fawning over this man who used disability hate speech. If he had used any other form of hate speech you would cancel him. But we autistics and learning disabled people? Bully away! Thank you for reminding me that we are not accepted in your foul Society and never will be.

I am autistic and I stopped watching Stewart after he repeated the R slur, laughing, while the audience howled with laughter. He is not "reclaiming" it. He is a bully. He "supports autism charities" but not us autistic adults. Stop arse kissing this ableist.

Hey Mayor Mamdani, did you fire Ana María Archila, your Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs, & her 2 office Officials yet? She scheduled a meet with Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s UN Rep, at 2 United Nations Plaza, alongside two other senior officials in the mayor’s Office

To be accurate, the meeting did not take place, and not knowing the subject matter, it's hard to say. She was reprimanded for not telling anyone. Perhaps she was going to try some backdoor diplomacy since rumps ragtag entourage has failed so spectacularly? 🤷‍♀️

city-journal.orgA Top Mamdani Official Tried to Meet with IranAna Maria Archila, Commissioner for International Affairs, almost took a meeting with the Islamic Republic’s ambassador to the U.N.

Reprimanded? Meaning what? "Don't do it again or else!" She wad hired by him. He damned well should have fired her & the 2 officials on the spot. Apparantly Mayor Mamdani didn't think it was insulting & offensive enough. Maybe he hired her to test how far her agenda could be pushed. He knew.

She was VP....does it dawn on us that the Biden Admin was in full control over the DoJ and the refusal to prosecute his crimes proven by both Congress Dems & R's by J6 2021...THEY ALL allowed EX POTUS CRIMINAL Felon DJT to run again w/out SUBPOENAE? Harris was a pawn. If she knew, why not stop him?

Harris would have won had Musk not been allowed to commit voter fraud. I volunteered for her campaign. We had 12,000 show up for her rally. Trump had his in the corner of a park. Somehow, all swing states voted blue for everything but the presidency. Dems wouldn't vote Trump. Reps wouldn't vote blue

That was only ONE reason he won from crimes Dems were in power. Harris was a Prosecutor. Congress proved his crimes in CONGRESS-a compromised political-only body, NOT a LEGAL body we needed to employ through Judicial Branch They ALL CHOSE NOT TO PROSECUTE...we're too busy with politics to care why

Jon Stewart is happy to play both sides. When someone takes issue with his centrist bullshit, suddenly he’s “just a comedian” and no one should listen to him. Instead of motivating people to do better, making jokes undercuts the seriousness of the issues. “Haha! War crimes, amirite?!”

That is about 2/3 of the truth. Jon Stewart is the Jewish grandmother of false equivalency. But he is funny and his authors are top notch. We owe them to the whole "both sides are (equally) bad", but we can't hold it against the people who write solid jokes about Trump's pool.

It’s been a long time since we’ve had honest and caring representation. This stuff is like heroine with no bad side effects. Mamdani is a beacon of hope that brings comfort to a very battered and abused America. It’s still dark outside but at least we have a light to march towards!

I remember tuning in to TDS during the Bush years for a dose of essential sanity as Bush, Cheney and the rest of the GOP just started lying through their teeth and the mainstream media played happy stenographers. Legends.

Making me reconsider spending time with the pointless and farcical posts I read (and occasionally write) on bsky. Then again, we can't vote daily, we can't kick in to every fundraising plea, we can't get representation from legislators the likes of Scalise and Cassidy. Rallies might not be so bad.

A significant contingent here wants it to be a Senate (or Presidential, even!) campaign rally. Don't think there's much chance for success in SC or Electoral College, but I've been wrong about TV personalities' electability before.

His shaming of people who mask was unacceptable, and those trying to pass it off as just a joke were wrong. His lab leak crusade was equally harmful. Other than that he's always had a half critique of politics at best. Not that funny anymore either. I don't follow his career anymore and don't care.

Bingo! So well said about Jon Stewart. Watch him in Washington DC and you will see how serious he is and what a kind and caring man he is in life. He’s so witty even when he talks about politics and it’s insanity. Hats off to Mamdani too.
