“Like never before.” I’d love to hear a compilation of every time he’s said that in the last seven years. C’mon, Seth, that could be an entire Closer Look episode!

[@skippermatt7939]

I'm sure they're "looking very strongly" into it!

Seth still has my favorite late night trump impression 11:17.

I love Seth’s Trump…though HIS version is likable, unlike the real Trump.

I'm hearing good things about this Jonathan Bernandez fellow. I hope he gets the nomination.

I think that’s a Portuguese name right?

[@pamelacass9642]

I thought Lindell mentioning Johnny Bananas was a parody of an Italian mobster's name. Instead, Johnny Bananas seems to be someone's actual name? America: what a country! 😏

Correction: Hamilton could not have mentioned a lithograph in any of the Federalist Papers because the lithograph had not been invented yet. The last Federalist Paper was Federalist No. 85 written in 1788. The lithograph was not invented until 1796.

[@lb5368]

Solid correction! As a fan of Hamilton's florid language, both in support of Federalism and in letters to his (probable, dreamy-eyed) lover John Laurens, I can only imagine the men's eyebrows and ladies' fans that might have been raised upon him mentioning an image of another man's genitals 😉

The maxim of the law is, "qui tacit consentiri: who is silent gives consent." If you're not fully condemning this treasonous statement, your silence is endorsing it.

[@mycat2230]

It is so sad that Republicans cannot even condemn someone who wants to do away with the strength of our nation: our constitution.

[@carminescurse]

You mean like Obama inserting the ACA through executive order? It's illegal because it uses taxpayer funding and needs Congress to pass. Or Biden with the student loan forgiveness......for the same goddamn reason.

[@rzn2258]

Apparently your for open borders , fentanyl being brought in and killing a massive amount of americans , banning free speech , against being energy dependent , our money being laundered to other countries , constant wars... Basically... Your For the Fall of America.. Right ?

[@NightOfTheLiving8bit]

Show me how they’re not… Because I can point to a ton of prominent ones that have continuously slammed Trump for the dumb crap he’s said lately and slammed him for this. By the way, you did your due diligence in checking on this ‘information’ from a ‘comedy’ show? Right? Because you’d know what he said isn’t nearly as hyperbolic as the title deceptively says. You wanna say that ‘republicans won’t do X, Y and Z’…yet democrats have continued the charade of ‘everything is fine’ and ‘totally not incompetent’ regarding the current administration. Or how they’re not correctly legitimate manipulation of information that the White House has put out. For instance, the WH just recently put out about how the unemployment rate is at its lowest in the nation’s history… The reality: more people have two or more jobs just to barely get by right now. So yeah - when the majority of the country needs more than their main career to get by…unemployment certainly is ‘low’. Yet here we are, where not too long ago this was anything but the case. And 20 years ago…it was still extremely plausible for a middle class family to get by on one income. Kind of like how my house sold for 113k in 2012, yet is now evaluated at 322k in just 10 years. With the most massive spikes occurring in late 2020 to now. See how YOU are being manipulated, too?

[@granthurlburt4062]

They just don't care. anything to stay in power. I think there's a parallel situation with coal and oil company CEO's. They know their emissions are causing global warming and that plastic is jamming up the environment and that land plant or algae-based plastic is feasible. They just don't care. They're rich enough to be invulnerable so they spent multiple millions on ACC denial campaigns.

[@SoloArdo]

Hahahaha! Suddenly liberals care about the constitution.

Correction: Johnny Bananas has actually had a pretty easy time. He was one of the most decorated competitors on MTV's "The Challenge" and was a former host of "1st Look" on NBC. He also dated Olympic Snowboarding Champion Hannah Teter.

Not to be confused with Johnny's Bananas on Entourage.
