Highlight:

Jon Stewart should stand aside and let someone younger run the show [View all] bigtree Feb 13 OP

Jon Stewart did great work talking politics after he left the Daily Show. ificandream Feb 13 #1

I expected something good and got a mouthful of fetid rat shit. Motherfucking lazy bullshit about Biden. SoFlaBro Feb 13 #66

Couldn't agree more. LakeArenal Feb 13 #128

GOp is going to run on Biden being old. We may aswell accept it applegrove Feb 13 #166

I'll give Stewart one more fucking week. He gets the first week to unload the dogshit. Now time to get goddamn serious. SoFlaBro Feb 13 #168

At least find some new material. The Biden is old schtick is exactly that : old schtick. LakeArenal Feb 15 #184

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? SoFlaBro Feb 15 #187

Nah... rdchili96 Feb 15 #176

That was funny rockfordfile Feb 13 #90

You could have my time, I'd take it back. I disliked it. LakeArenal Feb 13 #126

Thank You!! Cha Feb 13 #140

I didn't see any both sides crap redqueen Feb 13 #2

tired of the age crap bigtree Feb 13 #4

He's a comedian. He makes jokes. I found the jokes funny redqueen Feb 13 #6

he's Mahr Jr. bigtree Feb 13 #13

Young people get their news from Tik Tok . The Wizard Feb 13 #16

that makes sense bigtree Feb 13 #22

You're smarter than that BeyondGeography Feb 13 #28

what you're really saying here, in a demeaning way, is that I should share your view bigtree Feb 13 #36

Or you could support your argument with something other than pointless defiance BeyondGeography Feb 13 #41

I'm all over the thread with what I believe, if that's what you want bigtree Feb 13 #59

This message was self-deleted by its author bigtree Feb 13 #63

I'm with you. LakeArenal Feb 13 #129

I agree PatSeg Feb 13 #92

This is a lane that Stewart does great in. He should stay there. Kennah Feb 13 #125

Truth SunImp Feb 13 #160

He's going to be on only one day a week. The younger folks have four days a week to get laughs. ificandream Feb 13 #42

No, Maher has been consistent about ageism, always said it's the last acceptable prejudice in America. betsuni Feb 13 #159

The reason there aren't good conservative comedians... brooklynite Feb 13 #15

I'm not here for the other side bigtree Feb 13 #21

I hope your safety bubble stays nice and cozy..I don't need one. brooklynite Feb 13 #25

interesting how that conjures up an impression that I can't hear everything bigtree Feb 13 #32

"I somehow need this two-bit comedian to tell me what's what." brooklynite Feb 13 #34

says the person who JUST told me I'm in a bubble bigtree Feb 13 #39

The "bubble" is a zone of communication that everyone inside agrees with... brooklynite Feb 13 #40

you sure blanched at mine bigtree Feb 13 #44

How old are you? just curious. flying_wahini Feb 13 #71

63 bigtree Feb 13 #80

re: "I'm not here for the other side" thesquanderer Feb 13 #62

I basically meant here on the planet bigtree Feb 13 #64

Ah! Got it. (n/t) thesquanderer Feb 13 #82

They ask for your opinion and then beat you up about it. LakeArenal Feb 13 #130

Thank you whathehell Feb 13 #133

Right..... rdchili96 Feb 15 #177

We can stomp our feet and not watch him.. whathehell Feb 13 #127

Why are we pretending on this site AkFemDem Feb 13 #106

Because the choice is so clear, the choices are both old because that's the way it is. LakeArenal Feb 13 #134

Post removed Post removed Feb 15 #178

I agree fishwax Feb 13 #46

Stewart isn't sayng that. He's advocating against Pres. Biden here bigtree Feb 13 #53

no he isn't fishwax Feb 13 #68

this is just Stewart channeling Dean Phillips bigtree Feb 13 #72

Stewart doesn't have a viable alternative because he's not advocating for an alternative to Biden fishwax Feb 13 #84

so he's advocating cynicism bigtree Feb 13 #94

no, but rather the opposite -- it's cynical to pretend or insist that it isn't true that Biden is an old man fishwax Feb 13 #102

he's only serving himself by harping on it. bigtree Feb 13 #104

lol -- it's not his job to *serve* the Biden campaign fishwax Feb 13 #109

let's not be disingenuous here bigtree Feb 13 #111

who has argued that he's an advocate for party and president? fishwax Feb 13 #112

let's see if you understand what ratfucking Democrats in a presidential election looks like bigtree Feb 13 #115

yeah, that's not ratfucking fishwax Feb 13 #120

then it's idiocy bigtree Feb 13 #121

sorry, but your claim is laughably absurd fishwax Feb 13 #122

if you have to ridicule to make your point... bigtree Feb 13 #123

I'm sorry if you feel I've ridiculed your opinion. I do feel that the claim is blatantly false. fishwax Feb 13 #131

if you look closer you see that I'm polite and conversational bigtree Feb 13 #136

Well done Big. LakeArenal Feb 15 #186

Stunningly bad judgement, incredibly wrong. betsuni Feb 13 #167

Right.. Why not do "Both Sides".. it's Not his Fucking job Cha Feb 13 #141

I don't think Jon Stewart did "Both Sides," or that he would help save democracy by not criticizing Biden fishwax Feb 13 #143

Is it possible HuskyOffset Feb 13 #86

why is Stewart characterizing that one vid as the totality of the campaign bigtree Feb 13 #98

I think he's advocating for better campaign imaging. Moosepoop Feb 13 #87

I always get a hoot out of folks who think publicly criticizing the party or president is some sort of political genius bigtree Feb 13 #100

I don't regard it as political genius. Moosepoop Feb 13 #107

Today on "The View" the Republican co-host made that argument, that because the stakes are so high betsuni Feb 13 #163

Saw his interview on CBS claudette Feb 13 #58

This is tiresome. redqueen Feb 13 #118

That's why claudette Feb 13 #124

The whole first segment angrychair Feb 13 #132

He has said many times, in many ways, that he'd vote for anyone running against tsf redqueen Feb 13 #135

No... rdchili96 Feb 15 #183

"Jon Stewart Tackles The Biden-Trump Rematch That Nobody Wants The Daily Show" W_HAMILTON Feb 13 #146

He's only on Mondays. I vote: give the show back to him. Have Colbert do a 'werd' segment every day. marble falls Feb 13 #3

He did that already. Ace Rothstein Feb 13 #5

Ain't that the truth. redqueen Feb 13 #7

I didn't like Noah but the rotating hosts were straight up awful. Ace Rothstein Feb 13 #9

I just wish Noah had a chance to get more familiar with American English, it almost felt like ... marble falls Feb 13 #56

Honestly felt like he never left Sympthsical Feb 13 #29

The thing that struck me was the closeup limbicnuminousity Feb 13 #33

OTOH, the older you get, the less sleep you need. ;-) n/t thesquanderer Feb 13 #54

It reminds me a little of the behavior surrounding RBG Sympthsical Feb 13 #57

Good blast from the past. limbicnuminousity Feb 13 #101

No doubt about it. Living long is a terrible back-up plan for a future-dependent endeavor. jaxexpat Feb 13 #105

Biden's mind is better at 81 than Trump's was at 20. whathehell Feb 13 #145

I texted my buddy something similar earlier today. Ace Rothstein Feb 13 #50

If you watch the whole segment he did a mucifer Feb 13 #8

he's completely a stalking horse for some alternative party bigtree Feb 13 #14

No, he did not. Oof. themaguffin Feb 13 #35

oh, yes, he did. bigtree Feb 13 #43

Here's another way to look at the same thing... thesquanderer Feb 13 #78

I think the campaign would rather we were talking about the economy bigtree Feb 13 #81

Sure, but two things... thesquanderer Feb 13 #88

there's nothing to be done about Biden's age, which hasn't prevented ANYTHING bigtree Feb 13 #99

Thank you, sanity! Some folks here are contrary for dubious reasons, enjoying controversy at the expense of civility.... jaxexpat Feb 13 #103

Exactly.. bet Dean Phillips likes it. Cha Feb 13 #144

no, he did not themaguffin Feb 13 #45

Oh the irony. (nt) MissMillie Feb 13 #10

Yep.. rdchili96 Feb 15 #182

I watched his monologue and "news team" segment... Think. Again. Feb 13 #11

he makes a cynical joke, I make a cynical joke bigtree Feb 13 #17

we get it, Jon...Biden is old...now go away... agingdem Feb 13 #12

Why is 'retirement' in quotes there? redqueen Feb 13 #18

he retired from The Daily Show years ago... agingdem Feb 13 #38

I didn't plan to watch Mossfern Feb 13 #19

Anyone want to fill us in why our side would possibly have pitchforks out for Jon Stewart? nt ramen Feb 13 #20

'our side' is a diverse and disparate coalition of interests and concerns bigtree Feb 13 #24

Do you have a link to what he did to outrage those people? ramen Feb 13 #52

I'm not going to be sea-lioned here bigtree Feb 13 #55

Christ on a bike. That is objectively not sealioning ramen Feb 13 #149

he's not being crucified, he's being called out for his own behavior bigtree Feb 13 #150

I'm not sure what you see in the links you sent, but ramen Feb 14 #171

He was wrong about Hillary, promoting the "I just don't trust her" "she has no message, stands for nothing" betsuni Feb 14 #173

Seriously.... He continuously points out the hypocrisy and fascist right... Chakaconcarne Feb 13 #26

That is NOT what he did lst night. NoRethugFriends Feb 13 #67

But he didn't only attack the guy we don't like... Caliman73 Feb 13 #108

So many have become doctrinaire & rigid Basic LA Feb 13 #27

He's playing to the mushy middle redqueen Feb 13 #37

Here's my personal list: UTUSN Feb 14 #172

Well.... rdchili96 Feb 15 #179

Ok, well I'm going to put all my eggs in It's a Kevin Nortons basket now Chakaconcarne Feb 13 #23

Some people pay to hear what an opinionated old fart has to say EYESORE 9001 Feb 13 #30

One of the things about the "age issue" that I don't get Mad_Machine76 Feb 13 #31

He's not a comedian, he is Jon Stewart. twodogsbarking Feb 13 #47

He did. I'm really glad he's back, even in the limited scope fishwax Feb 13 #48

Someone younger did run the show. Trever Noah and a some others. The show lost a lot of viewers. Autumn Feb 13 #49

it's okay bigtree Feb 13 #60

Oh please DownriverDem Feb 13 #51

Yeah, no Stuckinthebush Feb 13 #61

There's a certian irony in your statement. jalan48 Feb 13 #65

they have zero alternative and they're playing politics instead of participating in it bigtree Feb 13 #76

I thought he was hilarious. Be The Light Feb 13 #69

I love Jon Stewart and so do LOTS of adults. If you saw his show last night that's what it was all about. flying_wahini Feb 13 #70

We may be the minority opinion here SCantiGOP Feb 13 #74

How many different ways can you reframe "Biden is old"? Did Stewart do a fuck thing to nudge the conversation forward? SoFlaBro Feb 13 #77

Well, he did emphasize that age is really no less of an issue for TFG... thesquanderer Feb 13 #95

He sat for nine years only to come back with this dogshit? SoFlaBro Feb 13 #97

Yes rdchili96 Feb 15 #180

When do we throw Colbert under the bus? He makes jokes about Biden's age as well. onenote Feb 13 #73

I dropped Colbert and Saturday Night Live. Hope22 Feb 13 #91

Did you watch it until the end? Aviation Pro Feb 13 #75

for some reason... RussBLib Feb 13 #93

I prefer Colbert tavernier Feb 13 #79

And he also makes Biden age jokes. onenote Feb 13 #110

Indeed nt RussBLib Feb 13 #113

That was actually one of the segments on last night's show Fiendish Thingy Feb 13 #83

And we continue to eat our own, what's new? Silent Type Feb 13 #85

To mock others..... flying-skeleton Feb 13 #89

That word salad made zero sense. SoFlaBro Feb 13 #96

Made sense to me RussBLib Feb 13 #114

He's a comedian, not a cheerleader. I won't be watching because I was never a fan tritsofme Feb 13 #116

Just one Rebl2 Feb 13 #117

We just watched it. Funny and fully constructed. underpants Feb 13 #119

Stewart does seem to be engaging in bothsiderism and encouraging Third party voting Kennah Feb 13 #137

The ageism is lazy The Blue Flower Feb 13 #169

Agreed. He's still stuck back in 2015 and is screwing up his legacy. brush Feb 15 #181

Can't we all just get along? anglesphere Feb 15 #185

He actually had part of his show joke about that. Eko Feb 15 #188
