The episode of Jon Stewart de The Daily Show Tonight has exclaimed the new national “hobby” of the “right-of-right game” after mass shots.
Before diving into its main night subject, political comics also commented on the deployment of soldiers by President Donald Trump in Portland, for which Oregon is currently continuing the administration.

Addressing the six distinct mass shootings which took place during the weekend (bringing the annual total to 324), including shots and fires in a Grand Blanc church, Michigan. What killed four people and eight others injured, Stewart said that partisanry has increased so much that people cannot even be disturbed to even perform previous rituals of sympathy.

This new hobby is: was it yours? ”

Nihilism has married an algorithmic tra everyone that puts these horrible acts in motion. »»
