Summary

Jon Stewart slammed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for supporting a GOP funding bill after initially opposing it.

On The Daily Show, Stewart mocked Schumer for surrendering leverage without gaining anything in return, joking that he “got some cheese.”

He criticized Schumer’s strategy of waiting for Trump’s popularity to drop, calling it delusional.

Stewart argued Democrats avoid proposing real alternatives by pretending Republicans will compromise. He warned their approval rating is dangerously low, making their approach politically ineffective and out of touch.

          No you’re right, what we need to do is be hyper critical of different views and opinions. This way we can continue to build up this understanding that no one who stands up to speak against the right is safe.

          We need to attack all the time in all directions like a narcissistic mother trying to find fault regardless of the situation at hand. Go at Bill Burr next. That uppity mother fucker has been shitting on Elon and billionaires. You need to go out there and find a reason he sucks next.

    What the F@#K happened!?!

    Someone dropped off a briefcase fulla Trump coins and Schumer magically did a 180.

      Collusion. The only answer is collusion.

      They pretend to oppose his policies, and do nothing but feign disappointment at them.

      They’re on the take, just as corrupt as their counterparts.

      Eat them too.

    Can we start using “Vichy” to describe any Democrats who collaborate with the fascists?

    Jon Stewart slammed Vichy Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer…

    Stewart argued Vichy Democrats avoid proposing real alternatives by pretending Republicans will compromise.

        I feel like neither of these are good. Like if I called you a troglodyte. Do you really care. It almost makes me look dumber for not having the social awareness to make a decent burn. Remember you’re trying to find something that makes them mad, not something that lubes up the dicks of the lefty beside you. Both is preferred but at a minimum you need something that actually gets their attention. Anything that anyone needs context or prior information is not good. Look at every single one the republicans used. Everybody understood it immediately. Some were legit catchy like Reeeeeeeeeeeeee super effective.

        Calling anyone a Rosenstrasse or Reichsdeutsch is just head up our own asses level of stupidity. It lacks any kind of punch. Avoid 10 cent words. Use stuff that a grade 3 student would understand.
