here’s our closer look from last night on trump eating shit at the whcd. normally seth doesn’t know what the clip at the end is gonna be, he just sees the setup. but this time he wanted to know because it involved explaining what a chode is and I think that was a wise choice youtu.be/LZnx9caKOpw?...

the odyssey discourse is a beautiful perfect window into right wing culture war psychosis. they went from hysterial racist mania over a character that’s on screen for 5 minutes to claiming there’s a massive conspiracy to fake ticket sales. this is just what they do for everything now. they’re insane
very funny that trump literally just threatened to cut off trade with spain and embargo spanish imports and then spain came to the US and won the world cup while trump sat there and watched
spain strategy: keep passing, close down your man, press the advantage argentina strategy: whoever has the ball, murder them

i’ve made this point before but no actual Italian person I know gives a shit about christopher columbus. when I was growing up the biggest italian icon in my house was mike piazza
It is undeniably funny that Chris Rufo - whose whole career is based on the idea that identity politics is so bad that its fine to ruin people's lives over it - is unhappy that Mamdani is not adequately appreciative of his identity
Four maga nut jobs with fox news brain rot ruling that “actually the sky is purple” is by far the best argument yet for packing the court, adding term limits and impeaching as many of them as we can. they’ve lost their minds. this case was actually a cognitive test and four of them failed

it is so funny that whenever you hear them say “knicks went 15-1 in their last 16” you know the 1 was trump
man nyc is such a fun place right now. on my way to a mets game (lol) and everyone’s in knicks gear or brazil gear or mets gear or argentina gear. everyone’s on their way to a watch party or a block party. the whole country could be like this if it wasn’t run by miserable pudding brained freaks
sometimes I think the simplest explanation of our politics is that we have a sizeable minority constituency of big fucking babies who whine and shit themselves whenever they don’t get what they want and this clip is definitely strong evidence for that theory
WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads
nothing I love more than writing a big old recap of insane news we missed and seth always performs them flawlessly. We’re back tonight from a two week break which means it’s time once again for our recurring segment “everything’s great!” youtu.be/uSSN-MhBkDo?...
my god this such a tiresome and lazy take. why do none of these articles ever note that colbert and the other late night shows crush on youtube and social media? colbert’s *daily* monologues have more views than many hot ones episodes. the explanation is simple: anti-trump comedy is popular!
the most important takeaway from massie’s race is that republican voters are a lost cause and we shouldn’t spend one second or one penny trying to appeal to them or win them over
Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"
being a mets fan is like having a standing appointment every day to get kicked in tne nuts while being stung by a thousand bees and crawling over broken glass and then when it’s over going “I’ll see you tomorrow!”
I keep saying this, but dc-based political reporters, especially at storied newspapers like the Times, desperately want to pretend they live in “The West Wing,” which is why they use faux erudite phrases like “complicated relationship” rather than acknowledge the grimy, low brow truth of trumpism
New euphemism for "pure, unadulterated horseshit" just dropped
just an extremely funny side by side from an actual congressional hearing. not sure this is the best guy to attest to the president’s sanity
