Exactly what I was going to say. Jon Stewart is a liberal Jewish comedian awarding a Nazi. I wish somebody would wake that guy up, he's smarter than that, but he's in a bubble.

Wake him up? Do you think that he's stupid? Jon Stewart told you who he was when he went suspiciously mute during the 2016 election: an establishment whore/sheepdog. Why didn't you believe him? And why don't you believe him now?

I don't subordinate my thinking to Jon Stewart or anyone else, thus "believing" him is not an issue. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he really is so stupid or ill-informed that he doesn't realize he, a Jewish man, just gave an award to a Ukrainian Nazi.

Or he doesn't care, since Ukraine is the goodthink cause du jour.

It's not about subordination. It's that maxim, "When people tell you who they are, believe them," or words to that effect.

So, you tell me. Who is Jon Stewart? From my vantage point, he's a Jewish American man (who has described anti-Semitic bullying during his childhood) who just gave an award to a Ukrainian (likely) Nazi. Did he know the guy was a Nazi? Does he know the history of Nazism in Ukraine? I don't know.

I'm no fan of Jon Stewart. I don't like him. I don't agree with him on probably any issue that is important to me.

Your comments are confrontational and really off-point.

Yup. Didn't have that on my 2022 bingo card. Stewart should know better.
