“It is hard to get mad at donald trump for saying stupid things, in the same way you don't get mad at a monkey when he throws poop at you at the zoo. What does get me angry is the ridiculous, disingenuous defending of the poop-throwing monkey.” - Jon Stewart

I am so very excited! Jon is crush-worthy because he is so smart and on point. I’ve missed him terribly. 💙💕

Good news indeed. I love Trevor Noah but he is much too sweet and kind for this fight.

Here’s hoping he focuses much of his energy on ridding our government House and Senate Republicans who have actively obstructed progressive efforts to get anything done since Old Rummy Reagan instituted the supply-side plantation economy and police state that made our current situation inevitable.

We need to vote all the insurrectionists and gun-runners out and redirect our efforts to education, infrastructure, and trying to stop the planet from dissolving before the latest crop of kiddies survive the occasional mass shooting and make it to high school.

I'm glad Jon is returning, even for just one night a week. He has a place with the greatest humorists/humanists we've ever known.

I hope you interview John Stewart as well as Muslim and Arab leaders in Michigan who vowed to make Biden lose the Presidential election. Inmate #01135089 trump will only make it worse for Palestinians going forward.

I know you feel deeply for the people of Palestine and I also know you feel deeply about the barbarism of Hamas against the Israeli's.

To be transparent, my view is Free Palestine from Hamas and Free Israel from Netanyahu.

Only a two state solution can save the people of the region.

I believe we have to remember the big picture and win, we can argue against from a position of power. Dean, you can be a game changer and influence the roadmap to victory for Biden, and this represents saving our democracy and freedom of choice ... and I'm sure John Stewart would be engaged in a conversation with you.

Jon Stewart Giving back to help our Military heroes get the Healthcare they should never have been denied. Global has changed the fabric of America and I for one am realizing our Congress is losing its mind trying to break us Americans by making us believe they know what's most important to us Americans. Our Military is #1, before the Wealthy. No defense without Americans from, Mothers homes. It will be refreshing to laugh at John Stewart and take my mind out of the fifthy trappings of political bull.

Thanks, Dean. Jon being back gives credence to the humor of feeling mentally superior to the orange one, even if feeling superior has not been one's MO.

I love Jon Stewart and I was thrilled to hear he was going to host. He definitely triggers Donito Assolini. One thing though....I hope he has good security.
