The Comeback
I didn't get to watch Jon Stewart last night in real time, but I did catch it later on YouTube. Omg. I had no idea how Stewart was going to skewer Trump for having his minions suspend Jimmy Kimmel. I knew he couldn't rant and rave for twenty minutes, so what the crew actually did was brilliant. They seemingly acquiesced to the orange man. It was hilarious. At first. Then it just got real. It was so painful to see where we are with this insane man. The show showed clips of Trump reading off a tablet some nonsense during a fancy dinner. It was excruciating to watch him stumble through a speech written by someone else. He talked about beloved authors which is blasphemy when coming from his chapped lips. He had not a clue who any of the names he was reading off because he hasn't read a book. Charles and dinner guests were in pain listening to him. Good. You deserve some pain, Chuck. You invited this weasel to your table.
The Daily Show ended with the gang singing a song in obedience to the fascist. What a terrific bite in Trump's ass. Since I'm no longer perusing social media I don't know how Trump took it. He might even believe they really are bowing to him.
I did see a blurb where Brendan Carr said Kimmel can have his job back if he apologizes and donates a massive amount of money to probably some right wing group, even to Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA, which his wife is now the CEO. That'll be short lived. Kirk's sycophants won't tolerate a woman in charge, even though she really won't be. It's all in name. She can now live off his death as she did when he was alive.
Ok, back to being normal. Mod podge and glitter. Oh, yeah.
