Jon Stewart: “How old are you?”

Tucker Carlson: “35.”

Jon Stewart: “And you wear a bow tie.”

“Look, I’m not suggesting you aren’t a smart guy, because those things are not easy to tie. But the thing is, you’re doing theatre, when you should be doing debate. It’s not honest… what you do is partisan hackery.”

Jon Stewart on Crossfire

And so savage was the mockery that he never wore a bowtie again.

After she was sexually assaulted at 16, Cooper had sworn she would never be caught unprepared. But here she was. Betrayed by her body, which would not cooperate. Betrayed by her family, who supported firing federal workers like her. And, perhaps most painfully, betrayed by herself.

She did not want to vote for Trump. Cooper hated what he said about women and hated how he treated them. Her family always said the women who accused the president of sexual assault had either made it up or deserved it. Cooper heard them and kept her own experience a secret, thinking that they might feel the same way about her.

Sexual assault victim votes for sexual assaulter is in the same vein as Jews for Hitler. Maybe not to the same degree, but definitely in the right direction. How stupid do you have to be?

Trump, at a campaign stop an hour and a half south of her, had promised to make IVF free. She knew that from a video clip she saw on TikTok. And she had believed him.

No. That can’t be. I’m special!

Really hard to feel any empathy for someone that votes for a dude that has zero for anyone else. The best I can offer is schadenfreude.
