11:06 Quick thing: If Trump "tried to warn people", it not only confirms that the January 6 insurrection was a premeditated and planned event and not just a spur of the moment activity from an overstimulated crowd, it also shows that Trump had intimate knowledge of the coup beforehand and chose to let it happen. I love that Fox News' best defense is one that makes Trump sound even guiltier than he already did.

[@JohnB3363]

You do know the FBI has already said he didn’t have anything to do with coordinating it right? Of course you do.

[@JohnB3363]

So Trumps guilty for telling people to march peacefully and patriotically to the capitol? Can’t wait until democrats are humiliated out of power in November because then the real investigation into Jan 6 can begin. We can find out what Pelosi knew and when and why she and the governor of DC refused to let Trump bring in national guard days before like he wanted, why the request for more security was denied multiple times. Pelosi doesn’t want to release footage from inside the capitol. Why? We have every right to see it. We’ve all seen the videos of police waving protesters in past the barricades and letting them into the capitol so why is she so terrified? She’s gonna be out of power and out of congress soon anyway

Seth's comedic timing when delivering these is absolutely perfect. Better even than Stewart I think.

[@jb888888888]

Respectfully disagree. Seth regularly puts "period" type stops in his voice when he's reading the cue cards and gets to the end of a line, or perhaps the end of a card. That and pausing to take a breath in the middle of a sentence without a natural pause point (e.g. 0:30 "who always look like they [breath] just walked in on their parents having sex").

[@lstapes7]

I prefer Seth’s delivery. It’s also important to remember that some of that Weekend Update delivery style informs him even today. On the other hand, since I was pre Stewart, I watched several of his ACL-ish work. There is no doubt that his and Seth’s satiric targets and delivery methods are reminiscent of each other. However, Stewart seemed so hyper and keyed-up that it seemed to impart everything with the same importance, and it made me a bit nervous (and I speak for a living, so how silly 🙃). Anyhow, they are both excellent. Small room Colbert was close on many occasions until Seth started clearly, for me, pulling ahead.

The most embarrassing thing about being a democrat is our politicians. Grow a backbone people.

[@Otherkill10]

Tbh it's the same for both sides... Coming from a family who is highly segmented in terms of political affiliation, I can honestly say that none of it matters. Everyone in their own right is entitled to their own opinions but the fact is, reps are against progress on both sides and too worried about hurting the other side (maybe not republicans but you get the point.). I've, to the dismay of my family, decided to Register as an independent simply because of the fact that both sides are full of morons who're too old to understand simple facts.

later in that same Laura Trump interview she specifies that no one said explicitly to do anything at the capitol. This raises the question: what does she imagine Donald was warning people of if there was nothing explicitly stated to warn people against?

[@ErgoProxy12345]

if nothing was specific at all, how can one call this a coup. The FBI concluded nohing of this was organised and they were among the most armed population of the USA but not a single gun was brought for a coup attempt?

10:56 um, Trump told them to go to the capital and protest peacefully “peacefully”. He air quoted peacefully, Trump also did warn everyone that was targeted that they would regret one thing or another. Actually not really warn more like threaten. If you watch his speeches after droning on he will get attention back by saying something horrible. Then he says something almost innocent sounding right afterwards and never repeat’s the horrible thing. Everyone who was targeted he threatened violence, gave a nickname, and then he makes that “air quote” and repeats the innocent thing (associated with a horrible) and says the second nice with an influx in his voice. So yeah that is enough for me to see it as orders and that is publicly available in those endless rallies he did from the very beginning of the presidency.

That reporter is very astute. Jordan hadn't yet said that he definitely spoke to Trump on January 6th, but the reporter asked him at WHAT TIME on the 6th he spoke with the President. The brilliant Jim Jordan proceeded to imagine the consequences of each answer, and said, "I think... after? (questioningly. As if he were trying to guess a right answer)" Jordan didn't even realize he had just confirmed, by answering the time question at all, that he spoke to the President on the 6th.

Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah and Jimmy Kimmel has been essential to my mental health the last few years. A Closer Look is maybe the best segment of any of them in these dark times. When the hosts take a vacation or go on a break for a week or two, i can instantly feel an unease. And it's often in those times all hell breaks lose as well. Please never stop making these segments.

Considering they thought it was a good idea to pretend that the idea that suppliers set price floors, especially in a monopoly situation, is ludicrous, I'm guessing not a lot of honest consideration went into the piece. Which is pretty much the status quo over there. "Retailer's prices aren't influenced by what suppliers sell for! Everyone knows the sticker price is discovered by burning 5 chipmunks to the Great Yog-Soggoth, after which the answer sought descends from the Land of Spells and Faeries! Econ 101!"
