Good for Kimmel.
In the presence of a supine Democratic party, Jimmy Kimmel, Steven Colbert, Seth Meyers and Trevor Noah are that stands between America and the Republican party that wants to visit hell on all of us.
Cassidy is making the rounds this morning saying he didnāt lieā¦ all while lying.
I know Hollywood celebrities lead a somewhat sheltered life, but frankly Iām astounded that at any point Kimmel thought a Republican was actually capable of not lyingā¦
What exactly is it that you think the Democratic Party should be doing right now that it isnāt doing? And do be specific.
And the reason Iām asking is that it is precisely that āeverything bad that Republicans do is actually the Democrats faultā shit that persuaded enough people to stay home to get Trump elected.
Well youāre just too āelitistā with that response, Steve.
Iām staying home or voting Jill Stein next time! Thatāll show YOU!
I donāt know, how about telling the Republicans that if they pass this turd they will stall and delay tax cuts for the rich right past the 2018 election. How about organizing protests in the States of Senators who vote for this mess. How about coming out full throated for single payer and making Republicans think fixing Obamacare is a win.
Maybe stop listening to the fierce frightened moderate Democrats who are afraid to do anything to help the American people for fear of losing Wall Street funding.
Itās called āThe Resistanceā. Perhaps youāve heard of them.
No matter how often you repeat this pernicious lie, it will still be a lieāand youāll still be a liar for repeating it.
I understand Kimmelās anger. Itās personal.
That said, his willingness to be suckered into believing such a āpromiseā shows why the GOP lies so often.
Itās Kimmelās intelligence I question. Cassidyās just doing what his kind do.
I donāt. Very few people follow politics nearly as closely as we do. Iād wager that most Americans believe there are as many good and decent Republicans as there are Democrats. It doesnāt make them stupid, just really misinformed.
āHell hath no fury like a father scornedā¦ā all attributes to Bill Congreveā¦THANKS JIMMY!
I donāt think Kimmel was āsuckered intoā anything. I think he just showed an example of a BIG FAT LIE. You may accept thatās normal for āhis kindā but I donāt think the average voter does.
what a piece of shit Bill Cassidy is
You flatter him unnecessarily.
Its kind of how I feel about Bill Maher when he gets his panties in a wad when one of his republican guests lies to his face, and then the next week he goes through the āI am angry and appalledā motions.
Followed by bringing the exact same guest on a month or so later and letting him lie to his face again.
See Rick Santorumās appearances for a classic example of this behavior.

On Monday, Schumer pledged to use every parliamentary maneuver in his arsenal to delay or block Republican momentum on the bill.
āāThis is so outrageous that weāre going to look at every possible way to slow this bill down, absolutely,āā Schumer said.
So basically, even single one of your points is already being done. But yet, here you are whining, crying, and most of all sneering at the very people taking those steps.
Even better, STOP listening to the fainting couch whinings of the Unicorn brigade that canāt be bothered to get off their asses and actually do something helpful.
Oh, I think thatās different. Kimmel isnāt a political person really. I get the impression he might watch some HLN here and there or read the USA Today headlines, but I donāt think it gets much deeper than that.
Maher, on the other hand, has no excuse. I rarely watch his show, but when I do it never ceases to amaze me how naive and poorly informed he is sometimes.
