Jon is simply not funny.

EVERYTHING DRUMP IS DOING IS FASCIST.

This is not funny to the people whose funds are frozen, to the DHS ( NIH ) researchers who are having to layoff thousands of people that work on studies to help mankind fight disease, or people around the world fighting a deadly virus ( Marburg in Africa, AIDS in Africa, people here that cannot afford insulin, etc ), or children that depend on SNAP for meals in school... sometimes their only decent meal of the day or other people on SNAP, or all of us that want an affordable breakfast of eggs and orange juice and bacon with coffee ( all of which may be going up radically in the next few weeks.

Never mind the people being deported. I don't believe that everyone that is being deported is a hardened criminal. Certainly the vast majority of undocumented immigrants are not criminals beyond simply being here without a green card or other document that allows them to be here.

KO has said that off camera Jon is a huge prick. I think it is starting to show on camera now.

As he does. Authoritarians use their powers under a democracy to overthrow the democracy.

I will stop calling Trump and his minions Nazis when they stop gleefully doing Nazi salutes and marching with Nazi flags.

is that so-called checks and balances are not the salvation we assume they are, and that the system is flawed.

He summed it up when he said "Don't hate the player, hate the founding fathers."

A person lacking wisdom or a conscience has all the same power as someone who is wise, moral and self-restrained.

Those is msm are becoming fewer.
I think the video of Hegseth and Dr. Phil were worthwhile.
It's his style to mix message with humor.
...we need everyone in a position of delivering a message for us.

anyway that's my 2 cents
