I… wtf. This seems unlike jon but okay

he sat out the Trump admin, he isn't disillusioned as as the rest of us and sometimes you can really tell

Jon’s been boomerish for years now. He just hides it well by pissing off Mitch McConnell every few years

[lolzerz]

I guess to be fair my only knowledge of him these days are clips of him yelling at republicans and making good points lmao

Ethel Cain vindicated

He actually cannot find the antisemitic jokes hilarious either, since he has a platform but he's not speaking for all Jewish people. But I completely agree about the racist jokes. I just saw one "joke" from this "comedian" and was too disgusted to keep watching. What in the world is he thinking, defending this piece of shit so soon before the elections? He's showing his true colors here

i am not a comedian so maybe my opinion is moot but aren’t jokes supposed to be funny??

[therearewords]

Wild take!

[allmylines]

i know, some of my opinions are PRETTY controversial!

[therearewords]

Good gravy!

I saw this going around yesterday and thought it was nice to see a comedian being clear-eyed about it all instead of reflexively defending comedians.
