I'm from Germany and since Trumps attacks on late night shows I started watching Kimmels and Colberts shows and of course this one here. I love you all for still making fun of the demented orange fascist 💚
Perfect for No Kings day! Thanks Daily Show team - just what we needed before we head out to today’s protest.
What is the point of congress if the president rules by executive orders?
Ah yes, 1870-1930, when absolutely everybody was happy and nobody was being segregated, blocked from voting rights, suffering from extreme poverty, or dying from typhus. Truly the golden age of American society, truly.
I swear comedians and political comedians are the only thing keeping me sane right now. Continued thanks as always ❤
Fascism was introduced democratically in Europe too.
R.I.P. Voting Rights Act !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hands in pockets just screams outrage, right? Schumer must go.
Trump is so Unhinged His ANKELS are full of MCDONALD BURGERS 🍔!
In his delusional mind, Trump thinks he's still on the Apprentice
