Like he yadda yadda’d over anything to do with civil rights and the existence of Trans people.
Many signs before that move
This is the definition by Cambridge.
Based on everything Trump has said and done. Really Jon?
It’s like we’re all in boat & we say Jon “the boats leaking” & he responds “on it” & pulls out a ax and bashes the shit out of the boat, thanks😳
Good to know.
Fuck you.
You are part of the problem. Instead of making fun of them, you could - I don't know, maybe start encouraging American politicians to stop ceding ground in advance to the GOP?
Fuck you, Jon.
Here's to hoping that people will look beyond what they -want- hear, and comprehend what he is actually saying. Because he couldn't have been more right.

I don’t care if it’s legal, it’s inhumane…fix that
Can Jon Stewart do a sequel?
This is what fascism looks like. Pushing past boundaries of authority repeatedly, until they succeed.
Each attempt to claim new powers is authoritarian.
Follow-up question: are you bought and paid for, or are you just this stupid and short-sighted for free?
Felon Of The United States
or
Fascist Of The United States
It’s not really even a close call. Having constitutional pardon authority doesn’t mean it can’t be used in a way to advance his authoritarianism.
At least 3 already in trouble with the law.. 1 shot by police, 1 involved with porn, possibly child porn, 1 arrested re gun charge..
I bet i missed others
Jon had the pulse of a certain moment under Bush. His legacy since has been one of performative GenX cynicism and smug false equivalency. Pass.
Preparation and planning over panic at this point.
Trump is a Fascist.
i recommend watching last night's seth meyers for a sense of how to properly respond to trump's actions
I mean. I'm not crazy, right? That cross is sus as fuck.
Have you ever read "The Designated Mourner". You should. I know you pretend your intellectualism will protect you, but, well, it didn't help the Weimar smarties.
Oh ignoring America's whole politically appointed judge problem too.
🤦♂️
You are blaming us for 'not voting' while you ignore all of the blatant voter suppression that was going on.
Talk about firebombed ballot boxes. Court challenges to mail-in ballots. Closed polling sites in D districts.
TALK ABOUT THE FASCISM THAT IS HAPPENING.
Genuinely disappointed. That was a really fucked monologue.
That's how it starts.
#FuckTrump
Trump is a fucking twat whose failed upward all of his life, and the billionaire class folded either to make/keep their money or because they were scared by threats of a prison time for how they made their money. Money is corrosive if left unchecked.

But, unfortunately, as of now, he's pretty much just democratically grabbing our p#ssy."
& by electing,"we gave consent."😡
John Stewart otoh, has been frustrating me. I don't get why he's both sidesing this thing. This isn't helpful buddy.
The radical right is winning because they're organized. They had a plan and they're executing it. Where is the left's "Heritage Foundation"? Where is the organization? "Project 2029"?
Seeing him try to normalize Trump? How dumb.
Stroking the proverbial lyre and watching it all burn like a madman who giddily embraces his own ignorance of the harm being done—thus aiding & contributing to the harm itself—as though it were hilarity.
I always thought Jon Stewart was smarter than this.
I was wrong.
The guy whose former chief of staff said he meets the definition of a fascist? 🤦🏻♂️
Just because Trump is finding loopholes in the law doesn't mean he isn't a fascist.
You don't have to break the law to be a fascist, you just have to behave like a fascist.
Hitler used the law to rise to power.
It's up to the people.
It is always up to the people.
Unless skynet already exists. I give us 20 years or so till it takes over.
It really is amazing.
