Wow. Jon Stewart at his most brilliant…
…Jon Stewart’s return to The Daily Show is a win for the craft, an enormous test for woke Millennials and may be the best chance of stopping Trump.
I have been an enormous Jon Stewart devotee ever since I first saw his criticism of Bush’s corrupt Iraq war.
His ability to critique the narrative and challenge it is unequaled in the TV genre.
Stewart is the Gen X God of political satire and his laser like argument brilliance has never been seen since.
The incredible jump in ratings from 300 000 to almost 2 million speaks volumes of how lost many Gen Xers have felt in terms of genuine cultural leadership.
Gen Xers loved being reminded what intelligence and broadcasting skills meant before social media.
Ironically his hilarious critique of how old Biden is was immediately attacked by the wokest Democrats on Twitter because snow flake triggered Millennials know only how to cancel someone and virtue signal minus the talent of persuasion.
That is what Jon Stewart actually represents, the talent of intellectual persuasion that dominated Gen X values. The Identity Politics virtue signalling cancel culture is fine for creating sharp pure temple factions that divide and exclude, when what is required is a shared agreement of the argument, which is what Jon Stewart can achieve.
In an American election year built upon radical identity and existential grievance, Jon Stewart’s ability to persuade minus the woke piousness could be the difference between Trump winning or not winning.
He is Gen Xs moment to step up between the Cultural Boomer Overlords and the self-absorbed Millennials.
God speed Mr Stewart.
As for Biden, Jesus wept, how have the Democrats fucked up so appallingly?
If Trump is the orange fascist existential threat he really is, the Democrats have to put forward a Candidate who can actually beat him.
Biden is not that. He beat Trump last time because after 4 years of Trump, the nation needed an emotional support Labrador, and that is what Biden was.
Now America needs new vision and a candidate who can get through 90 second answers without becoming confused.
If Trump wins, the American Midnight begins and Jon Stewart will be the first up against the Republican Wall.
Martyn – Jon Stewart can be very funny…President Biden needs to call it a day and live out the rest of his days in peace, and happiness.
Biden’s interviews are an embarrassment yet when analysed he makes a lot of sense. Trump’s speeches are complete nonsense, it’s worth looking at transcripts. Yet Biden gets all the criticism in mainstream media. The thought of either being President is frightful but at least Biden is sane with sane people around him.
The Democrat leadership must have been drinking its own Kool-Aid. It’s been obvious to anyone with eyes to see that Biden has been unfit to govern for years. He hid in his basement during the 2020 election and only won because of Covid, postal ballots, and the FBI tinkering with Facebook and Twitter feeds. He’s avoided press conferences and when he did them, with only friendly media being allowed to ask scripted questions. His last cabinet meeting was October for goodness’s sake. That’s not governing!
So, everyone on the left leaning media was in on the coverup…right until the debate, when the narrative fell apart. So now they’re all running for the hills. There was a Washington Post headline saying “Viewers of Fox knew what we didn’t two years ago” which is just another lie of course. They knew alright!
The best bit is that they’ve painted themselves into a corner. Their VP choice was based on toxic DEI guidelines and she’s clearly not competent. In the 2020 primary she got less than 1% of Democrat votes – yes, she’s that awful. The Biden/Harris campaign fund now stands at 220 million dollars but even if they find another candidate, that money is held in trust for Biden/Harris. As I understand it, it cannot be transferred.
‘What tangled webs we weave in order to deceive’
Trust a racist, homophobic prudish fuck like you to say that.
If you support Trump, then you support the roll back of civil rights for blacks, women, gays and other minorities. Plain and simple,. No wiggle room.
You are the enemy, and you always will be, I will not let you force your Bible on me,
Christ Andrew, you make Alice n Wonderland sound real and you truly believe what you write. No wonder our country’s fucked with people like you in it. Fox news, haha, how many millions have they had to fork out due to their slander, or is it in the billions now? You truly are a moron.
I don’t normally agree with Andrew but this comment is pretty much on the money. I’m intrigued by the reaction from @millsy and @National are Squeaky Clean though especially because this article is very clear that Biden is being criticised by people on the left.
To my eyes Andrew has just agreed with this left wing analysis and now 2 people have gone off the deep end verbally abusing him. In fact the more I read the 2 responses the more unreal they seem – like someone pretending to be left-wing.
Anyway, the reason Andrew is agreeing with Jon Stewart and Martyn is that is. So. Profoundly. Obvious. That Biden is not fit for the job.
Only a political ideologue could miss it
Well said Aaron.
Hilarious. So Trump is going to institute a dictatorship on day 1 of his second term, despite… having done nothing of the sort in his first term (not even, as he promised, locking the disgusting, corrupt war criminal Hillary Clinton up)?
A typical rant from someone who hasn’t been following this election or the reputable polls. Sadly, it concentrates on the media, right wing media, beat up, with sod all attention to what’s happening outside that tiny bubble.
I’ve said it before, and it bears repeating until certain unnamed people get it through their thick skulls. This American election began three and a half years ago with the events of Jan 6. Over those three and a half years, the independent verifiable reputable polls have consistently shown the trends. No Democrat or Independent voter will vote for Trump. Period, Full Stop. That leaves the undecided and Republicans, of whom at least half say they either won’t vote, or will vote for Biden.
Where’s your Trump victory in that. It disappears in a puff of reality.
Time to stop your scaremongering, I think.
Nah, he had his day…he’s just a cog for the machine now. For those that want a funny take on politics, Jimmy Dore is hard to beat.
Funny how every serious political commentator says that Biden is the man to beat Felon Daipher Don in 2024. A view echoed by Mary Trump, Republicans Against Trump and the Lincoln Group.
It seems they are so afraid of Biden that they’ll invent any sort of lies and falsehoods to get him to drop out.
Makes you wonder about who’s spouting this nonsense and why are the stupid repeating it?
Is there an agenda here? Probably, with the ill informed parroting the MAGA message.
I loved his crystal-clear take.
Gaza was the first and last word for me before then. The complete bankruptcy of America displayed to all of us.
Sanders and Reich trying to go around that. Biden was doing well according to Yank progressives. I still like Johnson despite Vietnam, but Gaza is ethnic clearing — where I draw the line.
Let the foul vessel drift off and find its up and down, north and south, again. I would be Fabian cumulative like the Yank progressives, but Gaza. Nah.
Gaza is a mess, and a war crime. Morally, politically, and legally, Israel deserves the heap of shit that’s about to descend on it.
That said, do you honestly think that Felon Daipher Don will be better than Biden or Harris? Do you!?
Then where should your support go? To someone who’ll flip and is “best friends” will Bibi, or two someone who’s trying to get into a political position where they can do something constructive.
Your choice pal, and you only get to pick one option. Failure to pick one hands power to the wrong party, so choose wisely, eh.
If Biden offs Trump while still POTUS, he claims both immunity and senility…jus’ sayin.
