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.

      Yes, a month ago he was saying dems should stop overreacting. Now he’s saying they’re capitulating. Never once attacking Trump for his fascist coup cause Paramount is being sued by the government. No mention of the attack on the 1st ammendment in any of this.

          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.
