    I think Trevor Noah losing his voice might be one of the best things on TV. It's just amazing.

    Then Roy Wood Jr starts losing his voice.

    Not sure this belongs here, but SNL just did a skit on what would happen if the trumps were black. It was from the creators of empire called them trumps.

    Pretty funny skit and right out of something you'd see them talking about on the daily show.

    Just wanted to say, I haven't watched this week, because I really loved last week's shows. And I'm not sure I'm wanting to go back to standard shows.

    Trevor getting tangled up with Dulce and then again with Desi the following night when they switched cameras, was just the best thing.

    Tonight's A Closer Look is very good. Even points out Orrin Hatch's latest stupid shit.

    Last Week Tonight uploaded their alternate content they had to show in the UK because apparently it's illegal to shot footage of parliament on comedy programs (WHAT THE FUCK). So here it is.

    I made the same bad joke in the comments, and I'll make it here.

    If it's illegal to show parlimentary footage for comedy, how has anyone in the UK been able to report what's going on there the last few weeks legally?

    Because easily avoidable self destruction made unavoidable by the flaws of those who could avoid it is tragedy and therefore 100% legal?

    So, this is a thing.

    I’ve always enjoyed Drunk History. It’s rare to find someone that rambles and slurs words like they are drunk without actually drinking.

    Seth did a small, but nice piece tonight on Trump, coal, his base, and promises he obviously never intended to keep.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KRKIqTmmhcA

    I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed late night shows until they were gone for almost a month in the middle of the longest shutdown in US history. Every day just seems more dire than the last, but at least we can make fun of it.

    I went looking for an energy / policy thread to post that in, found none, and in giving up to come to this thread I see someone already posted it. Fucking lol.

    But on a serious note, funny as that segment is it was actually really informative. I wouldn't describe it as Trump not having any intention of keeping the promise, not alone in that fact at any rate. I think it's also a matter of him not knowing shit and not knowing what to do even if he wanted to keep those promises. People working in coal do need to get transitioned working into other energy production fields.

    I love card tricks. I've seen Ricky Jay do a version of this in a more forceful way, but still amuses me every time.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    There's an awful lot of forcing going on there
    Although, if Seth had chosen the other card at the end, he would have won!

    So I had a buddy hit me up this morning saying that he had tickets for Seth Meyers, but that the person he was going with bailed on him. So now I'm at the studio in line to be in the audience for tonight's show. Not how I expected today to go but I'm not complaining.

    Go home, Google's ad algorithm...you're thoroughly drunk.

    While watching Full Frontal on Youtube, there are ads splashed all over the place (from banner ads to a full 4-minute long ad preceding the Act 1 video) for BlazeTV. That's kind of an interesting demographic intersect.

    You like politics, right? Here's more political stuff!

    Exact same algorithmic logic that serves you the exact videos that were being painstakingly debunked in the video you just watched, or offering you "criticisms" of a film you just watched a review for.

    That's not entirely algorithm based. Those people have been known to intentionally buy ad space on opposing videos.

    For all the ways he's terrible, the media really desperately wants to overlook the fact that he's yet another old fuck the Republicans elected who's clearly in mental decline.

    Trevor Noah has something different that Seth, but no less relevant to consequences to the shutdown.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r4VzaPCIMkQ&t=0s

    How about then apples?

    El Chappo is being guarded by people not being paid, while the Coast Guard and TSA that would have impeeded his subs and air smuggler grinds to a halt, whilst also tunnels that go under a stupid wall proving how ineffective it is.

    Nice quad punch of ways the wall doesn’t work while undermining agencies that actually accomplish what you profess to care about.

    Aaaaaand I’m coming in to undermine my last post.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pJpq4uLYxcE

    I don’t think Trevor understands that the Wall isn’t just politics. At the end he mentions that it would be a racist symbol, but there’s even more that Trevor doesn’t seem to understand and it’s this:

    If Trump gets anything for holding the government hostage, he’s going to hold it hostage again to get more. Those furloughed people on his audience? I feel for them, but if Trump wins this, those same people will be furloughed again and again and again.

    Also, not paying Congress during a shutdown sounds like a good idea. The problem comes from who do you think will give up sooner? Millionaire Mitch McConnell or others less wealthy than him? Who cares more about their staff being paid? Known asshole Mitch McConnell or literally anyone else?

    In the end, not paying Congress during a shutdown just ends up being another weapon the wealthy can use against the not-wealthy to make them capitulate.
