Gleeful cruelty. Get it straight.You are simply impressed because Stewart has coined the phrase "gleeful dickishness".The big take away for me was the layer of gleeful cruelty Trump uses. That was thoughtful and it was dead on. You heard the examples he gave?You are dodging the question.I'll give you a winner if you can answer my pop quiz.Jon Stewart usually plays the clown, but last night on Colbert he made some serious points about Trump that were coming from a slightly different angle. The Alt-Righters should probably skip it, you'll get all hurt and stuff.
Worth the eight minutes.
I started watching it, but it was just Colbert and Stewart apparently taking turns sucking each other's dicks under the desk. That's gross.
What serious points did he make?
There's one hallmark to your Presidency that I think we're finding the most difficult is that no matter what you do, it comes with an extra layer of gleeful cruelty and dickishness.
It's not just that you don't want people taking a knee—it's that they're Sonsuvbitches if they do.
It's not just denying women who accuse you of sexual assault—it's saying "They were too ugly, anyway."
You can't just be against the media—they're Enemies of the People.
It's not even partisan; If anyone in the Republican party dares speak against you, they also must be humiliated, even if they have a terminal disease.
Is there anything in those statements that isn't true?
When I said in my OP that Stewart made some serious points, I didn't mean to imply that he was pulling a Charles Krauthammer. What I meant was that Stewart was being serious, and he made some salient points about the President's approach to leadership.
If you think he's wrong, I guess that's your opinion. I believe he's dead on.
Stewart cannot show that his comedy skit was based on reality, his writers are merely letting their TDS get the better of themselves, and natch, Stewart too.
And there is NOTHING he said that is not based in reality.
Very disappointed, Muhammad. I thought you might actually come up with a cogent remark.
