I have to say one positive thing about Rump Dump Trump. Even Bloody Bullseye Barbie, aka Drill Baby Dingbat, has fallen way short of Rump Dump’s ability to present himself as a target sufficiently worthy of ridicule to guarantee full employment for America’s comics. And some of them use their humor for excellent political commentary, such as Samantha Bee, Bill Maher, and in this case, Jon Stewart.
Oh, how we miss Jon Stewart being on our television every evening. Jon Stewart was interviewed on The Axe Files, David Axelrod’s podcast interview show. Axelrod’s show is pretty good as his access to guests from Nancy Pelosi to CNN’s Anderson Cooper, and the respect he’s earned for being President Barack Obama’s Chief Campaign Strategist, gives his shows a certain gravitas. The interview covered quite a few topics but, being both political animals, it was only a matter of time before they spoke about Donald Trump (about two minutes). Axelrod made the joke that Stewart, when retiring from the Daily Show, had said that he had seen quite a few elections and the one coming up wasn’t going to be any “different.” This gets a laugh from the audience but Stewart isn’t laughing because he does not think there’s anything new about Trump.
I mean we talk about it like it’s something incredibly different, but in truth, how different is it, really? The media, as usual [is] focused on the wrong things and abdicating responsibility for the general filtration of toxicity. You have enormous amounts of money flowing into crazy people who are channeling populism of years past. I mean, if you took Sarah Palin’s head and jammed it on Trump’s body, would it make any more sense?
Stewart spoke initially about the traditional media’s inability to cover the veracity of Trump’s statements…

When the phone rings at 3:00 AM, and France is threatening to cut off the supply of his favorite hair tonic, do you really want this man-baby to have access to the nuclear football?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Three am phone call. Right. I can't find the cartoon now, but there's one out there that shows the red phone ringing, and Melania says, "Aren't you going to answer that?" and he says, "Not right now. I'm in the middle of a tweet to Putin that his wife is fat." Yes, this was a great clip.
Jon is great in this video. Very articulate & to the point about Dump.
He would be great in politics!!
Fear replaces the vacuum when hope is lost indeed.
John is always to the point!
Terrific video. I wish Jon would return so we get his insights more often.
He's sorely missed, that Jon Stewart. And he's right of course, it's isn't all that different this time. It's been building up for decades and what America now faces is the culmination of those years of increasing madness. The only difference is that it's gone out of hand, completely out of hand, and too few seem to want or to are able to put the lid back on Pandora's box.
Thanks all! Hugs!
