Summary

Jon Stewart mocked Donald Trump’s reaction to the war plan leak, accusing him of exhibiting “quick onset dementia” whenever faced with accountability.

Stewart noted Trump’s aloof response to the security breach, where classified war plans were leaked via a Signal group chat mistakenly including a journalist.

Stewart criticized Trump’s repeated denial pattern, comparing it to previous instances where Trump distanced himself from controversial actions.

He also condemned the “crazy arrogance” of officials involved in the chat, calling the situation a major national security blunder.

    I can’t get the link to load. Did Stewart criticize the decision to bomb Yemen?

      I can’t imagine he’s in favor of bombing Yemen. Trying to gotcha your allies is so tiring. Leftists are their own biggest enemies

        That wasn’t a gotcha, dumbfuck. I was curious because I usually like Jon Stewart and hoped he’d mentioned it in addition to this nonsense.

        But if you think that pointing out the wrong locus of outrage is being an enemy, you are making Republicans seem intelligent to you by comparison and you don’t belong in a free society.

              I agree that the sky being blue means you are a walrus. That’s about the equivalent rationale you just demonstrated. A+

                A+ for an intelligent person, yes. But for a bottom of the barrel worthless dumbfuck like yourself, it would make sense you couldn’t understand your superior.

          Perhaps, if you’re so smart, you should understand the limitations of text based communication and be clearer in your initial messages. That way you don’t have to get into fights like an idiot.

            Just because I am trillions of times morally and intellectually superior to you and the bottom of the barrel worthless dumbfuck who replied to me does not mean I am smart. There wouldn’t have been anything wrong with what I said even if reddit level intellect had been correct about me doing a gotcha. Your superior didn’t get into a fight; I simply accurately described the intelligence of a fool.

                You are not intellectually capable of understanding it, little guy. That’s why. Lmao have a nice weekend!

                  My intellectual faculties are wholly intact. It’s your wisdom that is lacking. You display the petulant nature of youth. So you’re either young, or you need to grow up. Have a nice puberty; be it physical or mental or both.

      This is the faux-progressive version of “Did he say Thank You?”

      Edit: maybe I misconstrued your sentiment. In the linked clip, he did not talk about the bombing of Yemen, only Trump feigning (or legitimately claiming, although I doubt it) ignorance.

        I was just hoping that he talked about the important part—the bombing—in addition to the unimportant part—the text message.
