    Every time I see a link to something about Jon stewart, it reminds me of the the Daily Show episode where he interviewed President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan.

    Musharraf led a military coup that brought him to power in 2001. His government was well known for its civil rights violations (not that many of his predecessors or successors were much better).

    Stewart’s interview was so obsequious, and his questions so softball, it was like watching a Fox News host interview Trump.

    Uh… I don’t know mate. Right now what’s happening is not anymore an allarm bell. You got allarm bells ringing for more than a year now, what’s happening now is that you willfully ignored every single allarm bell until the fire was so huge that is eating the whole country.

    What’s happening now is the Amerikan Reich.

      As a German, I’m disgusted by what’s happening right now. But on top, I’m happy I can tell the simpler Americans to eat shit if they bring up the “Germans are Nazis” argument ever again. I mean I was able to do so before, but their bad education made it impossible to communicate it to them.

        I mean… you still CAN call Germans nazis, if’n they’re nazis. Just like I call Magats nazi wannabes. The turd Reich, if you will.

    Is he using the “f-word” yet? Or does this still not “count”?

      Yeah that was definitely one of the most disappointing things out of him but he’s been pretty on point with most other things at least
