Jon Stewart perfectly sums up the Administration's lies after the shooting of Alex Pretti

Stewart called the administration’s attempt to claim Pretti was a threat despite all the footage showing otherwise to be “the denial of the reality that we all witnessed.”

“They’re lying,” Stewart said. “We saw it. And that’s how brazen they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth. That’s how they lie when they know we know. Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.”

Pretti did have a weapon in his hand after all ― one the government might fear more than any gun.

“A handheld aluminum, 1080p, 60 FPS weapon of mass illumination,” Stewart said, describing Pretti’s cellphone. “Because there is nothing more dangerous to a regime predicated on lies than witnesses who capture the truth.”

1. F**k Jon Stewart

Maybe if he had spent 24 trashed Joe Biden whenever he could, we wouldn't be in this mess now.

[Hope22]

3. I stopped by to say the same!

Jon is a big part of the reason we are here. Both sides do it and all!

[Lemon Lyman]

4. THIS!

Remember - regardless of who would go on to win the election in November 2024, we'd be alright as a country.

8. Needless vitriol at this point

Perhaps you could reconsider your view since that problem is past and the present is much more dangerous. I don’t disagree with your premise but the new threats need to be focused on. Clearly, the MSM won’t do that.

10. F**k Jon Stewart

and George Clooney too.

11. Thanks for your thoughtful reply

I was civil.

[SocialDemocrat61]

14. You're very welcome

Have a nice day!

16. Out of curiosity

How do you feel about Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, John Bolton, Mike Pence, Mark Esper, Stephanie Grisham, Anthony Scaramucci, William Webster et al.? They’re all Republicans who opposed Trump’s reelection.

None are my heroes but they oppose Trump. In a time of trouble, any enemy of my enemy is an ally. Your mileage may vary. At this time of ultimate peril, should we reject any aides-de-camp?

I, too, am a New York City resident.

17. Good for them

But doing the most basic decent thing doesn’t score a lot of points with me.

18. Really? You think that Stewart was chiefly responsible for Democrats running with Kamala instead

and that Biden would have beaten Trump, if there hadn't been a one-night-a-week basic cable comedy show that sometimes said Joe Biden was old?

And there was me thinking that social media was the modern influence. Turns out that there was a sleeping giant of cultural influence that had never been seen as the most important before, and everyone said was fading, and it Ruled America, with the Democratic Party paying attention to it, rather than ... something else (what, by the way, would have persuaded people that Biden was going to beat Trump?)

[SocialDemocrat61]

19. Chiefly? No

But he was just one who piled on. So I’ll add, f**k George Clooney. F**k Ezra Klein. F**k Jake Tapper. K**k The New York Times. And while we’re at it, f**k Susan Sarandon and Eddie Glaude too.

2. I haven't watched it yet.

I’m looking forward to it as always.

[SunSeeker]

5. Yeah, I remember when Jon Stewart first returned to his show he basically said Biden was bad as Trump.

Starts around 2:30: "These fucking guys"..."American deathmocracy"... "Indecision 2024"

Totally both sides-ing it. It wasn't funny then, and he was not helping.




Too little too late, Jon.

[orangecrush]

6. This doesn't sound like both siderism to me

[hatrack]

12. This is now, both sides was "then" - "then", as in "before the election"

.

[orangecrush]

15. Ok

Thanks

13. After you amass your fortune you can play all sides and the ceiling.

Like every other pundit/personality/influencer.

Repeatedly showing/reviewing the Alex murder video at this point is ABUSE.

JS doesn't care about us.

We need to stop allowing ourselves to be hypnotized by our screens.

And start...

turning them into tools to use as mirrors against fascism like Alex.

If Any of these Tee Vee Personalities thought about others and had any balls morals they would know that and say so.

In a world full of JSs...
Be an AP not a JS.

7. As far as voting for who you are choosing as president,

I remember the line, "Your not marrying him".

[Mosby]

9. It's not funny.

He really missed the mark here, I had to stop watching after 3 minutes or so.

20. I Guess We Can't Even Mention Jon Anymore Here - Just Look at the Soiled Didies You Caused!
