1. CAnt watch and dont care what her reasons are.

She is an enemy of the human race.

Glad you are keeping an eye on them, but I cant.

[Buckeyeblue]

2. I agree with you. It's difficult for me to listen to their lies and bigotry

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Like it was yesterday I remember watching Rachel Maddow during the 2016

campaign, she was describing how terrible things could be and how bad certain people were but in a way that she felt pretty confident they would never get power and they would remain the outliers.

Watching her leave her show tells me that she knows what I know and others know that this is going to get much worse and it's not safe for us here anymore.

5. But Jon doesn't let her get away with the lies

[The Unmitigated Gall]

4. I'm going to go waay out on a limb

And guess it’s because she’s a right-wing zealot
And ideologue with only three real principles:
-the supremacy of white people
-the rule of the wealthy and privileged
-fear and hatred of the “Other”

And that “keeping government out of lives, homes and bedrooms” is just a bullshit slogan for when these scum aren’t in power.

Liburdy, y’all.

6. Had to check this out...

I REALLY appreciate what Jon is doing here, particularly calling out the fake "experts" that she refers to.

No transgender Arkansans or their family members testified in support of the bill, and the medical opposition to HB 1570 was so widespread that the bill’s sponsor was forced to present testimony from a pediatric anesthesiologist with no experience with gender dysphoria.

In addition to allowing unqualified witnesses to testify without time limitation in support of the bill, the relevant committees limited all witness testimony from critics to two minutes. As a result, the Arkansas Academy of Pediatrics, other professional healthcare providers, and transgender Arkansans and their family members were all cut off mid-sentence while attempting to give testimony against the bill.

I am so sick of the religious right and their absolute belief that they should be in charge of making everyone else's decisions for them.

Jon is a master at taking this BS down.

7. That was so well done! Thanks for posting! nt

8. This person is the reason that certain gender specific

adjectives exist and are used in anger.

I applaud Jon Stewart for his restraint.

9. she believes her "alternative" experts

she has her "alternative" facts.
