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
Truly
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.
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.
Ok troll
I agree that you being a moron is me being a troll.
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.
