Biden is doing a great job! 👇🏻 At creating disasters - Left Americans behind & $80 BILLION of military equipment in Afghanistan to Terrorists, 30 year high Inflation surge, crime rising 800% in Democrat cities, Gas prices skyrocketing, millions invading through Joes open borders & Democrats reckless spending, Joes approval tanks to 38% -Quinnipiac poll

[@thePronto]

@@sergeanthulka7528 the truth is that Trump did a peace deal with the Taliban (our enemy) while totally ignoring the Afghan government (our Allies). He also signed an order for US forces to evacuate Afghanistan on 1/15. Did they comply? No.

Someone saying they "don't wanna go back to the days before Trump", sounds like someone saying they don't wanna go back to the days before COVID-19.

She’s tryin to settle. We had Obama and they were craaaazy jealous. The world loved Obama. Then they got DT and the obsession was unreal and he played it in his hands. They’re all just a bunch of desperate fools who will follow even the most evil if it gives them the power to make this country’s decisions on their behalf.

[@JimRFF]

Truly, the worst part (in my mind, anyway) is that Trump's WHOLE THING was "Make America Great Again"... so she *doesn't* want to go back to the days before Trump, who himself *does* want to go back to the days before Trump... gotta love the ABSOLUTE FUCKING DISREGARD for any sort of intellectual self-consistency. Monkeys have better reasoning skills than this.

Coincidentally, Trump wasn't an authoritarian like Hitler was.

[@FriedrichHerschel]

@@ThePTBRULES Sure as heck Trump is an authoritarian. Just look at the tantrums he throws if something doesn't go like he wants to. Yes, he doesn't want to kill millions, but that is a pretty low bar. In his ideal world, he'd be the dictator, unbound by laws, and everyone has to do exactly what he wants, or they get removed from their jobs. Free speech only as long as it doesn't go against him, and congress just an institution that agrees to everything he decrees. Yes, it would propably not be as bad as Nazi Germany, but it is still completly incompatable with any democratic system.

[@amberbanuelos7053]

Seth, I know everything you’re saying is important, but I’m hung up on you bringing back an audience. Please, don’t. All the others have done it and the quality went down on all of them. Your show is special, we love how you connect with us at home. I’m not alone and we all know you read the comments (correction, that was a loveseat, not a sofa), your fans don’t want an audience, we want you to continue doing what you’re doing. Don’t let this be the last time you do your Pacino with our standing ovations at home! I literally stood up for that for you!

[@JonS]

“We should be looking forward” has never been a defense in law. “Your honor, why are we talking about a convenience store robbery in January? We should be looking forward.” Imagine if a Democrat had referred to, “One day in September” in the run up to the invasion of Afghanistan. I can almost hear the howls of outrage from all corners of the conservative media.

[@mackjrbell7828]

They want to look forward to trying it again.

I agree with so many others. You have been a shining light in this dark time, Seth. I will certainly miss this format, but I do understand that you probably won't. :) Keep fighting the good fight! We love YOU!

[@conj764]

Thank you Seth, and the entire crew, for making Late Night work so brilliantly over the last 18 months or so, it's been an absolute joy to watch you all descend into some form of chaotic madness and be privy to your in-jokes and your dynamics. I can tell how much having the audience back means to you, so I just want to say, good luck! And I'm delighted that you're keeping Corrections 😁

Seth- I was having a very unhappy day and being 70 sometimes it gets a little rough. Today however I thought I would go on-line and listen to your monologue and I had to tell you that I can not remember the last time I laughed so much and so long. I even had tears running down. When I told my daughter a/b this she told me to write you- so here it is. Thank you so much, Tom

I have to agree with everyone, the audience coming back is gonna sck. Its been so awesome with out it. The sea captian bit, the moving books ect. and Wally, man for an unknown he was pretty darn good at times with the back and forth with Seth.

[@obcl8569]

What's funniest about Wally is that he may be an unknown to us, but that man is a legend in late night & sketch comedy. I think he may still work at SNL? I know he's doing Amber's show too. He's been around for a long time, but I didn't really know who he was until the pandemic!

When we all went into lockdown last year (Mar/Apr), it was miserable. I was glad Seth, Stephen, Trevor went online. But I enjoyed Late Night (Seth) the most - his Closer Look, his kids, the various locations in his home, Sea Captain, the wasps, the book titles… Seth was the only one we kept watching. I like his interactions with his crew, the jokes and the laughter. Thanks, Seth and his crew. You are the best! I miss the no audience format. I know the audience will have to return, eventually.
