Yes, I still watch the Daily Show, not quite as appointment tv anymore but I generally like Trever Noah. Noah jumped up about 10 spots in my estimation when he had the incomparable Talib Kweli as a guest last week. In the spirit of allowing my relationship with Noah to grow, I watched an episode in which he suggested begged his viewers not to tweet #denturedonald. I will post the clip below.

And then there’s Roy Moore. Yanno, the guy who said that America was last great before the Civil War because of “strong families” and despite the “regrettable” slavery thing. Oh, and he also once claimed that teens were committing drive by shootings because they were learning evolution in school. Folks, I cannot make this stuff up anymore. I’m actually kind of angry that I can’t do snark anymore. I’m too scared that what I satirize might become actual news shortly thereafter.
And, surprise surprise … Ross Douthat wrote an opinion piece in the NYTimes in support of a baker who wants to be able to deny a wedding cake to a same sex couple because of his religious views.

And speaking of I. Can’t Even.

Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.

EastCoastChick makes some astute analysis about US politics in "Conservative" voters explain why they're still for Roy Moore. And it's mind-boggling. by subir.
from RickNelsonmn:
I nominate for Top Comment a two-part, two posts that are a whole: To me, mereed3929 crafted a clear message about women's choice in two posts.
