“What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”

        I see you sending this to more than just me. Seeing this and your other posts, you’ve got an agenda of some kind. Stewart doesn’t condone the invasion at all in this, in fact he criticizes it.

      Daily show made some jokes about it, and I have heard people alternatively claim that he is either pro Trump or pro Iran. People just looking for an excuse to hate Jon I guess

        That’s kinda what I figured. Anyone claiming he’s pro trump either hasn’t seen him talk about anything or is severely misunderstanding his sarcasm and/or satire.

          I suspect that the more strident you are politically, the less likely it is that you can understand satire and nuance.

            Right, they are taking everything as a flat statement devoid of all other context. You can make damn near anything sound bad if you do that.

            They are misunderstanding what they linked so hard though that it’s absolutely someone purposely mischaracterizing the entire material to push an agenda.
