I'll give Stewart one more fucking week. He gets the first week to unload the dogshit. Now time to get goddamn serious.

I'll even listen to a new tack on the "Biden is old" schtick. He's old. So what? Is he doing the fucking job or not?

He's going to be on only one day a week. The younger folks have four days a week to get laughs.

no, but rather the opposite -- it's cynical to pretend or insist that it isn't true that Biden is an old man

I don't think Jon Stewart did "Both Sides," or that he would help save democracy by not criticizing Biden

He's only on Mondays. I vote: give the show back to him. Have Colbert do a 'werd' segment every day.

Someone younger did run the show. Trever Noah and a some others. The show lost a lot of viewers.

I love Jon Stewart and so do LOTS of adults. If you saw his show last night that's what it was all about.

How many different ways can you reframe "Biden is old"? Did Stewart do a fuck thing to nudge the conversation forward?

When do we throw Colbert under the bus? He makes jokes about Biden's age as well.
