President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump went head to head in their first presidential debate of the election on Thursday night — and Jon Stewart has unpacked it all for you.
The Daily Show host went live after the candidates left the stage in Atlanta, wrapping up the media coverage and prep leading up to the debate, the rules, and every little moment in the debate that everyone is talking about today.
Essentially it's 15 minutes of Stewart's glorious reactions, with an undercurrent of major dread.
"This cannot be real life. It just can't! FUCK! WE'RE AMERICA!" Stewart ends the segment with, and...yeah.
For more of Stewart's takes, we've rounded up the recent Daily Show coverage here.

Doing damage control? It is useless.
ReplyDeleteEven americans have their own 💩shows!
ReplyDeleteTwo idiots fighting for what? While the whole country has issues to be solved. Same as any other country. Politicians fighting with each other for power, when instead they can do something that actually matters. You trust nobody! They are all the same, same 💩, different country!

DeleteBetween Lying Degenerate Fake News Trump vs Stuttering Honest Old Man Joe, this is a bad choice, but a simple one.
ReplyDeleteThe scale of cryptocurrency fraud has been surprising for those who believed in its early security promises. In 2023, the SEC's increased enforcement actions indicate a significant rise in crypto-related financial misconduct. In 2022, Chainalysis claimed that crypto crime hit an all-time high, with illicit addresses receiving around 20 billion US dollars in 12 months. The FCA themselves reported a rise in reports from 1,619 in 2019 to a staggering 6,372 in 2021.
ReplyDelete2022 was marked as a notably difficult year for crypto crime, setting new records in fraud, theft and scams. Ransomware, a form of cryptocurrency-based crime, is one area that saw a particularly big rise.
It becomes even more clear when comparing cryptocurrency to traditional finance. The City of London police reported that investment fraud in general saw a 15% rise in 2022. When comparing this to investment frauds involving cryptocurrencies (in the US), the number is around 183% in 2022. In fact, the FBI claimed that investment fraud was the cause of the most amount of losses of any scam, of which cryptocurrency represented the majority of such scams. This is somewhat unprecedented given how new this asset type is, and how big traditional scams were in the first place.
When losing funds to a scam, the victim of course wants to reclaim these lost funds. The evolving picture of cryptocurrency fraud, therefore, presents not only a challenge for investors and regulatory bodies but also the importance of developing effective asset recovery.

The question you need to ask yourself is " how crazy is the democratic leadership to have thought biden for reelection was a good idea" maybe another good question would be how incompetent are the democratic leaders that they are acting shocked by what happened last night. If they were actual leaders representing what is best for the people of the United States then how did they allow biden to become the nominee. Another question that democrats need to be demanding an answer for would be " Why do democratic leaders want trump to win the WH" because that seems to be the only answer for how they are allowing biden to run. They can't cover up his problems anymore.
ReplyDeleteWe’re talking Nursing Home People. And on the other side we’re talking Incarceration. This is a very dangerous situation for America.
ReplyDeleteIt seems typical that it is the "lesser of 2 evils" when voting for the last 40 years or so. But the choices here are historically and remarkably bad
DeleteBiden owns both sides of that coin.
DeleteExactly, Biden is the criminal not Trump!
DeleteI feel like the American people, including myself, need to take more responsibility. We have been asleep at the wheel, allowing this to happen with abysmal
ReplyDeletecivic participation. I’m not saying it’s all our fault, but let’s consider our role in this
Some haven't been asleep, but everything is rigged for a two party system and they have left the American people with very few options.
DeleteYes, you’re absolutely right. When I say “us” I refer to the American public at large
DeleteAnd why have we not resisted that? Why have we not taken to the streets en masse and demonstrated our dissatisfaction? Why haven’t we united? It’s done in many other countries. Why not ours?
If Biden cares about America, he needs to step aside in the next week or so. Enough is enough with this Weekend at Bernie’s act. He needs to retire while he has some dignity left.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that makes Jon Stewart and the CNN team irrelevant is their hatred for Donald Trump totally blinds them of the obvious mismatch in this debate.
ReplyDeleteWhat they should be addressing is the "elder abuse" being committed by the Democratic party and others for exposing Joe Biden to such public humiliations by continuing to drag him around and display him as a viable candidate for the highest job in the free world.
This debate shows why they kept Joe Biden hidden in the basement throughout the 2020 election cycle.
More than half of that clip was Stewart making fun of Biden. Yes, he doesn't like Trump, neither does half the country, but you cannot say, in any way, that he attacked Trump more than he attacked Biden.
DeleteAnd nowhere in my comment did I say that. A little reading practice may help with your problem.
DeleteThe real question after last night debate should be "Who is really running the white house"?
ReplyDeleteIt’s Jill
DeleteRumor has always been that Obama still has his paws in it. It's getting easier and easier to consider that now.
Delete+Obama
Delete“…we know he wants to fundamentally change our institutions.” THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS NEEDED. OUR GOVERNMENT IS OUT OF CONTROL.
ReplyDeleteWe do need change, that's for sure. But we DON'T need Trump's kind of change.
DeleteI'm betting you can't even describe what Trump's kind of change would be, can you?
DeleteJust as I thought, couldn't list or "articulate" a single one so you came back challenging me. Ok well let's start with a couple of easy ones (maybe you can even understand, although I doubt you appreciate them). How about energy independence. That's what we were when Trump left office. What are you paying now for a gallon of gas or any other utility for that matter under Bidens policies? How about controlled immigration? Only a person short of brain cells doesn't recognize the disaster that Biden's border policies have already created and will likely only get worse. I guess that kind of change is only relevant to people like those who knew the mother of five killed by one of Biden's "undocumented " or the mother of the 12 year raped and killed by another one of the 9 million people Bidens policies allowed to enter the country illegally. I'll take Trump any day over what we have now, right or wrong at least I can back up my position with valid examples rather than just left-wing talking points. You need to crawl out of momma's basement, get a job and discover what reality is really like in Bidens America !
DeleteWhy do you hate the thought of making America great again?
DeleteTrump never made America great. He only built himself up.
DeleteGlad to see MAGAits are so ill-informed. Keep licking the boot.
Where were you six years ago?
DeleteSerous question.
In Georgia owning my own business and doing quite well.
DeleteI have continued to own my own business through the (scam)demic and the Biden administration and I'm still doing quite well.
My stock portfolio is up 20% in just the last two years. T.D. Ameritrade just got sold to Schwab two years ago so that's all the history I can see right now.
Now, the things a president can't control, groceries are higher now but I'm paying about the same for gasoline. I actually paid 2.89 in Fruithurst AL about a month ago.
These are all serious and truthful answers to your question.
Fundamentally change the American system of government? TO WHAT, comrade?
DeleteThis system has worked well for 250 years and is, or was before Biden, the envy of the world. It was only until little left-wing liberals and their out of kilter ideas of DEI and tweaking of normal relationships between same sexes that things began to run off the tracks.
So you want a bumbling conman liar with no integrity to do it? Geezus how ig’nant.
DeleteYou shouldn't talk about that old man, Joe, like that.
DeleteCareer politician who voted whichever was best for him, even when it was a lie.
Eye-opening to read over his history in office.
even more pathetic than the two "leading" candidates, is that the third party choice is younger than both of those and even more brain dead.
ReplyDeleteAnd he's sitll 70. Get all these old farts out of office.
DeleteThe worm eating RFK's brain promised to save some for us...
DeleteWith a debate like this, every Non American laughs.
ReplyDeleteI'm not American, but I don't laugh. The USA is (still) a mutual ally of my country. I hope this is still true in 2025 and beyond.
DeleteI for sure am laughing, not because the debate was so bad, I did not expect anything more, but because you are so indoctrinated to believe you got only 2 choices.
Delete341 million + people in the USA, and these 2 are the only options we have to lead our country??? That is a scary future
ReplyDeleteTRUMP2024 🇺🇲
DeleteBen Carson talking about drugs that can stimulate the brain as he appears to be simultaneously NAPPING is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteCarson was always an embarrassment.
DeleteThis county is so funny: I’m glad we’re forced to vote between a convict and a mummy
ReplyDeleteOften a response to fear is to laugh to relieve pressure.
DeleteIn Australia we mock politicians for far less

ReplyDelete"Did you just immigration abortion"
ReplyDeleteThe beef between Kendrick and drake is more intelligent than the beef between the jokes we call our presidential candidates
ReplyDeleteThey should be debating the flavour of Jello in a seniors home
ReplyDeleteThis debate IS America
ReplyDeleteThis was sad. We had one guy who was incapable of telling the truth and one that couldn’t remember what the truth is.
ReplyDeletewhat did Trump lie about?
DeleteThey literally showed it in the video. How dedicated are you to being ignorant?
DeleteThis debate should have been held at a Dunkin Donuts.
ReplyDeleteAll that B.S. and there is another DEBATE in September!!
ReplyDeleteThis is actually terrifying
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are just now Realizing, the rest of nation has been freaking out for over it for years .. Welcome to the table.
Deletewell... that's me told
DeleteGiven the stakes for the planet, yeah...
DeleteWhy is it terrifying?
DeleteYou're not paying attention
DeleteI am. I’m fortunately not an American.
DeleteI'd assume you live on planet Earth though, yes?
DeleteAs an Independent, I don't get why out of 335 million Americans, we must choose from these 2, but a significant difference between them is that one surrounds himself with competent experts and the other one with future enemies who end up in jail. Also, one is more loyal to Putin than to us.
ReplyDeleteWe don’t there’s RFK jr
DeleteI'm hoping Jill Stein is on the ballot in Oklahoma. If I'm going to waste my vote in this orangetrashcan supporting state I will vote for her.
DeleteI am not an ageist - both candidates are old. I'm not swayed by the candidates' ages; my focus is on substance and their track record. I want to see if their actions align with their message or if they're just saying whatever it takes to win votes. It's funny how the media emphasizes their personalities over what they actually stand for. Whatever happened to real journalism?
ReplyDelete> Whatever happened to real journalism?
DeleteDaniel Ellsberg unavailable for comment. We tried to reach Julian Assange, he only recently came back to us.
Does age matter? "I refuse to make an issue of my opponent's youth and inexperience." — Ronald Reagan
This debate debacle between pop-pop and papa bear was a travesty if I ever saw one. ️
ReplyDeleteThis cannot be real life ! I've been thinking that for some time now. Not in America. Life in the U.S. is now surreal. I hardly recognize the country anymore. We need something other than the lesser of two evils. The current two parties are broken. Ranked - Choice - Voting. That should give us more choice and no spoiler effect. It's obvious we need to try something else. I just don't think that is autocracy.
ReplyDeleteRFK Jr. is still viable, and gaining steam - check him out
DeleteThe world's biggest retirement home feud.
ReplyDeleteOne came out of this walking, the other guided by their handlers.
ReplyDeleteI'm only 64 , and I lose my train of thought all the time!
ReplyDeleteThis debate was Homer Simpson against Leslie Neelsen.
ReplyDelete342 million people in your country, and this is the two best candidates 💀
ReplyDeleteWealth gets you places lol
DeleteTell me again why I shouldn't vote 3rd party
ReplyDeleteWow!! 😂 when did the daily show come back? Jon Stewart always got it!
ReplyDeleteOut of over 300 million Americans, these two are it? Out of these two, I pick the one that is mentally competent and can understand a question. I pick the one that doesn't need help walking off the stage. Americans deserve so much better.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jon Stewart. I laughed til I cried.
ReplyDeleteIt was like watching two old guys arguing about who didn't clean up the sandbox back in kindergarten.
ReplyDeleteTrump telegraphed his moves. He always does that. Biden got off his best lines and they fell flat. More educating coming soon.
DeleteIt is difficult for me to find laughter in such pathos. What is happening in the USA is a sad state of affairs.
ReplyDeleteShame on Jill Biden and her family for putting him through this
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. When my 80 yr old father was too far gone with Major Atypical Dementia, diagnosed by a Neuro-psychometrician, when he thought he could do more than he was capable, I was obligated to seek a legal Power of Attorney to manage all his affairs. That is where BIDEN and TRUMP are at in their lives, not the Presidency.
DeleteI remember Biden in 2008. What an unbelievable transformation.
ReplyDeleteSharp as a tack...then.
DeleteFrom Canada, I feel for you my neighbours and hope that you choose truth over lies and service to the public over self interest.
ReplyDeleteThere is no drug for narcissists, only the tears of their victims
ReplyDeleteInsults aside, I agree with that. The only reason Biden didn't start crying is because walking corpses can't cry.
Delete"Joe Biden is as sharp as a tack" - Michael B/S Douglas
ReplyDelete"remain upright" 💀
ReplyDeleteAlmost half a billion people, and these are your nominees for leaders 😂😂
ReplyDeleteI wish open primaries could fix this. There is something that has to be done to fix our system so that two wildly unpopular candidates cannot be forced upon the people.
ReplyDeleteThe golf argument had me dead 😂
ReplyDeleteI can’t believe in the year 2024 , these are the two BEST we can produce.
ReplyDeleteIn an alternate universe, this Biden switched places with the Biden from the Bernie debate.
ReplyDeleteOnly time there was honesty was during the golf debate. Hahahaha. The only time they looked alive
ReplyDeleteWorst disaster in the “history of the world “
ReplyDeleteO my! I almost feel bad laughing at this point!
ReplyDeleteIf only we had decent presidential candidates
