Jon Stewart is also wondering what the hell Chuck Schumer is thinking

At this point in the Trump administration, we must assume that many Democrats approve of the White House’s agenda and want it to continue. How else could we possibly understand their feckless attempts at disruption and protest in the face of a president who’s dismantling the American government, attempting to put thousands of federal workers out of the job, rounding up people for deportation despite court orders, and killing thousands of people by gutting foreign aid programs? One would think that the supposed opposition party would, you know, oppose. Nevertheless, as laid out on tonight’s Daily Show, Republicans are playing Mortal Kombat, and Democrats are watching them play Mortal Kombat.

Jon Stewart had his glasses on the edge of his nose as he went through Chuck Schumer’s ridiculous reasoning for betraying his constituents and voting to pass a nauseating bill that would keep the government open, but his colleagues spent weeks calling a non-starter. Heck, 24 hours before he voted on it, Schumer told the Senate that Republicans didn’t have the votes. However, considering he had a book tour to go on, which has been canceled due to a spike in interest in insulting the Minority Leader in person, he voted to fund the government and everything in the House spending bill that was supposedly bad, relinquishing the only leverage Democrats had toward stopping the bleeding.
