I’m sorry mate but if you read anything sarcastic as earnest, it’ll mean something totally different. I just think you’re inventing an enemy here 🤷‍♂️

God I wish this dork would fuck off already, along with the rest of the AI bullshit currently making investors and other business-wankers the world over cum themselves dry. It’s fucking embarrassing.

You know the comment you’re replying to confirmed that they were being sarcastic, right?

It always blows my mind that people would get offended by something like this. Like, who cares? You’re going to go get teacher because someone you barely know said something that is honestly barely even mean?

This presumably didn’t happen, but similar things do! People just get upset over nothing, it’s wild.

Apologised in private for calling for the bombing or gassing of the UN in public on a show watched by millions of nutters.

Watters is a coward, a Tucker Carlson-wannabe, a loser, a creep towards women (slashing his current wife’s tires and then offering a ride to her home before they were together).

He’s stupid, he’s malicious, and he’s loud.

Actually, on reflection, he’s perfect for the USA.

Oh I wonder if this man’s entire livelihood and power fantasy is tied to the continuation of this very obvious dog and pony show?

I loved the idea of that podcast but I just couldn’t stomach it. One of the hosts is constantly shouting. It’s like he doesn’t understand how microphones work, and instead thinks he has to shout to be heard by the audience. It’s been maybe a year since I tried them, and my ears are still ringing 😂

“In the last five years since we’ve been making the show, we’ve seen an unfortunate amount of violence in the United States: the kidnapping attempt on Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer; the January 6th attack on the Capitol; the assassination attempts on President Trump; the political assassinations of Democratic representatives in Minnesota; the attack on Speaker Pelosi’s husband; the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk; the recent shooting at an ABC affiliate station in California; and over 300 school shootings across this country,”

And yet only a specific one of those things caused the show to be paused?

Wait, so why wouldn’t they (and others trump goes after) be willing to cave without a fight?

We just watched them cave immediately without a fight, and then revert their decision after having “thoughtful conversations” behind the scenes that we’re not privy to.

We haven’t seen any victory, any pushback against this trampling of free speech, any principled disagreement. We’ve seen an immediate kowtowing.

I don’t know what those conversations behind the scenes entailed. I don’t know the future. But I’m going to predict the show that gets returned to air will be (even more) neutered. They won’t upset the administration again.

Looks pretty steady to me. Not optimal, or good, but steady.

Lol, and now we get to watch everybody buy their memberships again and the company will move forward like nothing ever happened.

A. I’d sooner pop my clogs than not have my rice pudding, black pudding, beans on toast, Eton mess, spotted dick, coronation chicken, and vindaloo.

Okay bud, you’ve had a bit of a shitty attitude for this entire interaction but this is very funny. I’m happy for you as a Stewart super fan - enjoy your day 🫡

I’m unqualified to claim that I don’t think he has a better understanding of politics than Bernie Sanders? 😂

Honestly I find their use of “dogpile” very offensive. A pile of dogs?? How rude. Besides which, my sister is a complete and utter dog and I don’t believe the mod in question has any right to talk about her hemerrhoids that way.

Oh, right. Okay. Well, personally I don’t think Stewart’s understanding of politics and policy consequences is as good or better than those named politicians, but I guess we just disagree. More celebrity politicians I guess 👍 Maybe we’ll get Dwayne Johnson in next!

Ah okay I see, criteria 1 is about likeability and public awareness?

to be totally fair, I did name two candidates 😂 how about Mamdani? I like Omar’s Green New Deal work and her anti-ICE stance is good. Tlaib’s advocacy for the working class is nice too.

Is the amount of political pressure you can apply, what the job entails? I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but I had the perception that a president had to do more than just apply pressure - I thought there was something more to the job, that would require a better understanding of politics and the consequences of policy, a clear and consistent viewpoint, the ability to pick an effective cabinet, that kind of thing.

…what? Where did I say I wanted to do the job? I’m not sure I’ve done anything to warrant the snarky replies honestly mate.

Also, wait, Jon Stewart can do the job of being president better than two career politicians? I’m not sure I understand why that would be the case?

Seems like you took that pretty personally 😂
