The irony of Kevin McCarthy reading Green Eggs and Ham, a book about making premature judgements about something before you’ve even tried it.
Glad someone else caught that; it kind of slapped me in the face.
Let's hope some ex-republcan voters make the same conclusion. 👍😊♥️
Did he borrow Ted Cruz's copy of Green Eggs and Ham?
Truth! Oh the HYPOCRISY!
@@katiehettinger7857 THAT'S funnee! 😂😂😂
We exist on the dumbest timeline of our reality
This IS the darkest timeline.
@@amberdiane really? Because trump could have won, that seems worse to me.
It could be much worse... Don JR. Could be president
@@amberdiane Well so far there are not 400 million guns going into play. _That_ will be, and if you don't think it can happen, the GOP has been dog whistling to them since Regan.
It's sad when the moral-less minority gets to tell everyone else what to do just because they complain the loudest & then cheat when that doesn't work.
"There's a dark side and there's some magic there. And what I'm trying to do is harness the magic." Wtf?! Those are literal villain lines.
More likely little Lindsey took them from his favorite Harry Potter movie...
@@uweschroeder True, he does sometimes remind me of Peter "Wormtail" Pettigrew.
@@Magimasterkarp omg yes he does! He kinda looks like him in rat form and is a definite twin in human form. 🤣
As a Witch, I can tell you, Dark Magic remains Dark. No matter how you apply it...
The book is about don’t knock it before u try it, the irony is beyond this dimension
Shame on anyone who votes Republican going forward.
Alas, Republican voters cannot be shamed. Just listen to Ted Cruz.
NO on California governor recall 😑
You 're right. Taxpayers must be able not to send money to Ted Cruz, so he can learn to earn money just like the majority of the real American people!
For all their faults (and there are a LOT of faults), Democrats care about this country. Republicans haven't cared about this country in, oh, I don't know... How does at least 40 to 50 years sound? Sound about right?
Shame on Democrats
Words can’t convey the deep level of hatred I have for Ted Cruz.
There isn’t a word horrible enough to describe how I feel about Cruz. He is a Hitler. Maybe his father did kill JFK like Trump claimed in the 2016 primaries. I thought Trump was lying 🤥, but who knows?
I could watch people attempt to, though frivolous, with much enjoyment.
Me neither. He acts like a cross between an angry, racist speaker from the 1910s and a movie psychopath who laughs heartlessly after killing his victim. He's disgustingly pompous and full of malice.
“I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz, and I hate Ted Cruz.” - Al Franken
You must be from Texas.
I can’t stop watching “Will the senator yield for a question?” “No, I won’t.” I love the subtle savagery. Also every time Ted Cruz talks I think of when Seth called him a wildly objectionable kazoo voiced s*** heal 😆
I promise all Americans I will under no circumstance ever be voting REPUBLICAN ever again, enough is enough with you people and your party first!
@Drofmah, Thank you for leaving the party of GASLIGHTING, GROSS INCOMPETENCE, TREASONOUS INSURRECTION, LIES and RAMPANT RACISM.
only 9% of the bill is going to covid. You may want to thank the GOP for not supporting it.
Ted Cruz literally getting his own ass served on the spot and he's still showing no sign of remorse or guilt. They'd go to any lenghts without shame to hurt the political process for their own gains.
Yeah well he got what he wanted anyway. Fox "News" will run the clip of Cruz speaking and ignore the response
The gloves are off and the President's on going attempt to find principled Republicans is showing the American people what that party truly values. You know what they say showing is better than telling.
@@katiehettinger7857 then show me instead of telling! ;)
Yeah, RINOS suck!
Yep. Cruz knows it’s total bs, he’s not making a real argument, he’s making a Fox News sound bite.
"Not a single house or Senate rapublican voted for this bill." This sentence needs to be printed onto every check!
Perhaps, "Your Senate representative did not vote for this bill."
That’s an easy fix....republicans don’t approve of helping their people....so don’t send their people a check....send them a copy of their representives voting record...💰💰💰😜.
@@mikeboate208 Part of me agrees with you but then again President Biden has shown a light on a better path when he helped Texas when their power failed. I'm not saying he's a god or a demigod just it's a kinder response. The idea is to help all Americans through this time and not continue the devicive party politics.
They didn't vote for it because 90% of it has nothing to do with covid. Less than 9% actually goes to help people. A trillion dollars from the last time still has not been spent. Here are some of the things that they spent the money on last time. DURING this pandemic. OUR tax dollars went to: $10 M to Gender studies in Pakistan. $700 M to Sudan $506 M to Central America $300 M to Caribbean $500 to Jordan for wall $86 M to Cambodia $1.3 B to Egypt to buy military Equipment from Russia $1.3.M Americans to eat bugs $2 M Hot tub reduce stress $1M Dental fears $150 K Kenyan art classes $37 M Filipinos stop playing hooky $3M Russians to American Community College $1.5 M Lizards walk on treadmill $715 M Syrian rebel training equipment $6M DC bike parking $4.5M Spraying alcoholic rats with Bobcat urine
@@jeanknitter6455 Cool. Remind me again who was the President and who controlled the Senate when the last bill passed?
Seth doing Lindsey and his Meemaw is comedy gold!
Older people tend to be a reliable voting block so taking away chairs would deter them from voting especially if they're elderly and Black but they are hurting White elderly voters too.
Fortunately for Republicans. The predominantly white neighborhoods tend to have shorter lines compared to non white neighborhoods. In many cases but not all cases.
I fear that Americans will forget the GOP’s complete inaction by the time the 2022 midterm elections come around. We can’t forget.
They do seem to have a short attention span...
They will forget. Very few people who voted red in 2020 are actually educated about how politics works. Most of them either only watch Fox "News" or vote purely based on party.
Not if we keep the fight for the $15.00 alive. 👍😊♥️
They'll vote Republican for the sake of a Mr. Potato Head being a man! Many people are easily manipulated.
Americans have a memory spanning the length of an entire golden fish
It's time to cancel the Republican Party.
have you not learned anything? cancelling isn't a thing that exists. it's a term used by republicans to instill fear and hatred.
@@fernie6299 Until it happens to them, then they play victim. Narcissistic cycles.
@@TheDarkness1 : They always play victim even when they aren't. It's "the boy who cried wolf" made manifest.
It's TIME we had another "John Hinckley" "cancel" tRump!
Hahaha you can’t CANCEL US!!🙄✅😂🙌🏽
Hard to watch Ted Cruz call immigrants “aliens” when he barely looks human himself
@Evan Kellison You should really get informed, but apparently reading up on things is more than can be expected for some to form an opinion. Here is the breakdown what's in the 1.9T bill: www.crfb.org/blogs/whats-19-trillion-house-covid-relief-bill There's 10 billion for foreign affairs and none of the money goes to the military (which has plenty of money since Trump increased military spending)
@Evan Kellison Well, maybe you should be voting for different representatives then. Misappropriation of funds is nothing new and not even a partisan issue. I just seriously doubt that all of the 1.5 trillion go to war efforts - but hey, apparently government agencies list what they are going to use the money for.
That was childish, for sure, but really really cute and weak.
He should have just stayed in Cancun! 😡🤦🏻♂️
@@uweschroeder only 9% of this bill is going to coivid evry us family could receive a 15000dollar check if democrats finally decide to stop bailing out their rich donors!
LOL everytime Seth says Me'ma I literally laugh out loud
Every time Ted Cruz opens his mouth in the Senate, he should be laughed down with calls of Cancun Cruz. He's such a hypocrite
FREDDY CRUZER HIS OWN NIGHTMARES!!!!
Dick Durbin, finally doing what I have been hoping and praying Democrats would do on the Senate floor and just call out the B.S. from the Ted Cruzs of the right.
And I hope each Democratic senator does the same each and every time that jackal opens his mouth.
How about the Republican senators donate their annual salary to the people who are financially suffering? Will it fix the problem? No? Then, why? We’d really like to know if they even care! Instead of regretting, making excuses, and getting caught while taking a luxury trip to Cancun, show us some good deeds! Your Ex-republican
I'm still a Republican.. Just not a cult follower.. This make us look deranged
“...Zell vill fly off the shelves!” 😂😆
It's baffling that anyone would vote for a party that consistently denies them much needed relief.
Because they've been taught that weak people need handouts. They kill themselves to scrape by and then hear about the "lazy people who get govt handouts" and feel like they are being stolen from - it's their tax money that is being wasted on those bottom feeders. They will believe this even as they use govt assistance themselves.
Stockholm Syndrome
And then the individual constituents of that party are told by websites and talking heads that they aren't getting relief because of the other party.
@@kshuf8426 where exactly is the wasted spending? [if you need, Brian Taylor Cohan broke the bill down]
@@donaldj.trumpandiapproveth259 where did you get these figures from?
Kevin was reading to his voters and their 4yo intellects.

He's complaining about the removal of some of the titles that have been removed, and that's not even one of the books that the Seuss organization took off the market!
@@MouseWhite5 His people are not informed enough to know that. They're just enjoying the complex plotline of a good story :-)
What amazed me was that Kevin was capable of reading a Dr. Seuss book without someone helping him.

For republicans, the cruelty is the point. They are just trying to cause harm.
Yep. They win when people are divided against each other.
It's that line out of Chapter 3 of 1984, when the doomed protagonist is trying to figure out WHY the evil totalitarians want power, and the villain, O'Brien, explains by saying: "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." The boot is white christian elitist privilege (of both parties, but predominantly of the GOP).
IBGYBG is their motto. Look it up.
@@agreen0401 Then divide THEM against themselves with their ILLOGICAL rhetoric that HYPOCRITICALLY condemns law & order/communism/socialism but then raises law & order/communism/socialism.
Honestly, after watching this shitshow on a daily basis for several years, I think that is the most likely explanation. I tend not to assume malevolence, when stupidity is a sufficient explanation, but at some point I realized it was all on purpose. (That exact point was Trump cutting down the post office, right before an election that would largely happen over mail, due to a pandemic that he helped spiral out of control, in order to keep people who are in touch with reality from going to an overcrowded polling place, while telling his base that it was all a hoax and not dangerous.)
I'm always encouraged when someone tries to learn reading at Kevin McCarthy's age. Never give up!
The pictures always help🤣😂
AOC claims to have an "Econ" degree, though Wikipedia says International Studies! She goes on NATIONAL NEWS, and doesn't seem to understand HOW the Unemployment rate is calculated! That is "lying stupid"... the plateau BEYOND plain stupid!

How long until calling them 'Evil Republicans' becomes oxymoronic?
Some Canadians - NOT all received payments from the government. If you kept your job and were still getting income from employment or self employment, in the same amount as you received pre-covid, you do NOT qualify.
Now we all know who’d read the books to Trump when he got cranky.
I'm just glad they can read.
@@suzannegiannini85 yeah, at a 2nd grade level. 🤷♂️
Note: Kevin McCarthy is clearly used to showing T***p the pictures while he stumbles through the 2nd grade literature.
Well he had to get someone to read to him since he can’t read himself.
a lot of people are gonna talk about how dumb it is that Senate and House republicans pulled this dumb sh*t, but nowhere near enough people are going to draw attention to how an 8 year old could get through Green Eggs & Ham with noticeably better articulation
Obviously, “Green Eggs and Ham” was a bit too challenging for McCarthyism’s reading level.
🤣😂😅
Haha was thinking the same thing. Pretty sad.
The Republicans have taken a playbook from trump**! We will do anything and everything we can to distract from our screw ups! Will get everybody in the country in an uproar over green eggs and ham. So that we won’t be focused on the fact that we made people die during Covid, and we won’t admit that we screwed up by giving the power company is free will! How about we do a free will Employment for anybody in government! Or should I call it at will employment! We the people can vote them in but we the people can vote them out! Boy the American government system is really screwed up
@@kathyfranklund3628 Sorry to disagree, but Дурак Дон is just the natural conclusion on decades of Republican grift and authoritarianism. A brief history of the “party of Lincoln”: The Southern Strategy put an end to that. Where they embraced the southern Dixiecrats enraged by LBJ passing the Civil Rights Act. Add to that the Evangelical Strategy, which changed a humble group of deeply religious people who found politics unseemly into one issue fervent voters attending mega churches with pastors who live in mansions and fly on private jets, all without paying a nickel in taxes. Next came an actor president who could pump out false lines on toughness and self improvement all while implementing economic policies that would ensure an income gap that to this day has still not been properly addressed. After that the Koch brothers, et al started their behind the scenes moves to destroy democracy through control of statehouses, implementing gerrymandering and other voter disenfranchisement laws to ensure a party with extremely unpopular policies, when taken as a whole, could remain in power, with representation grossly disproportionate to their votes received. Before the Kochs turned their attention to destroying a free education system by propping up the idea of publicly financed religious charter schools, actively changing curriculums at local schools and donations to large universities, with the caveat of having a say on what is taught. Let’s not forget Roger Ailes’ and Rupert Murdoch’s role in providing a platform to amplify their message in the form of propaganda disguised as news. Inventing straw men for viewers to fear, distracting from the real issues affecting their lives. Which brought us the Tea Party, the first wave of nut jobs elected in districts engineered to only support candidates from one party and where only the most fervent supporters voted in the primaries. Act One of the party of crazy. Cannot miss the Heritage Foundation’s role, working with McConnell and others to ensure the court system is filled with Christian religious zealots and loyalists in a country supposedly founded upon freedoms, liberties and a separation of Church and State. Let’s not forget Doug Coe, long time leader of The Fellowship, host of the national prayer breakfast. A group that has spread their evil tentacles worldwide and holds loyalty to no country, but only rather to a fervent belief that those who attain power were ordained by God to hold that power. Therefore, their insane logic goes, God forgives them of any and all sins they have or will commit. They whisper platitudes in the ears of leaders throughout the world and tell them they are “Chosen” by God to wield his mighty sword. Sound familiar? On to the internet! A platform controlled by narcissistic, sociopaths, whose only real goal is that idea of success created in the 80’s, amassing an amount of money that they could never spend in 100 lifetimes, while more and more people enter into poverty. How do they distract you from their ridiculous wealth? Algorithms to the rescue. Keep feeding you only the information that reinforces your preconceived biases, while making it more and more difficult to search out reality. “News” is now only served out in tiny snippets, bite sized morsels perfect for consumption in the short-attention span market. “News” has become an act of regurgitating talking points, which have no basis in reality, but when repeated enough, begin to shape people’s “reality.” A gaslighting goldmine! Enter Q! A political invention of who knows what origin at this point, to push ridiculous conspiracy theories promoting policies that could not be supported by fact. Q’s theories have changed over time and always embraces new players, even when it contradicts previous theories, all to the delight of their captive audience. At this point Q is most probably hundreds of hackers in Russia, Iran, North Korea and/or China whose only true goal is to weaken democracy through division. So there we have it! A synopsis of the current Grand Ole Party! Time to dig the grave and move on from it.
Very simple solution: None of the states whose Senators voted "No" on the Relief Bill will get even One Dollar from it, let's just see how that sits with their constituents, shall we?! This Government has become a very sad and stupid joke, lacking any kind of punchline.
👍👏👏👏👍👏👏👏
Very good idea 🙌🏼

Green Eggs and Ham has not been removed from publication. What a mook.
I don't understand why they are mad that the copy right owner choose not to continue publishing some of his books. It isn't censorship if the owner makes the decision.
He read that book like a 3rd grader. Must of lost a lot of brain cells.
They aren't mad, nor are they stupid. They are rich trolls, gaslighting us, and desperately hoping we try to do something about it so they can further crush our spirits.

I like the irony that green eggs and ham is about not being stubborn, yet the republicans refuse to even think about passing something that they did not introduce.
musickid43 - You can blame Newt Gingrich for that mindset. When he was Speaker of the House every bill was a win/lose proposition. If a bill was introduced by a Democrat, even if it would benefit the country, Republicans voted against it.
It's a continuation of what the reps have been doing for years: make voting as difficult as possible.
Of course. I think we're doing a Jim Crow era 2.0 or 3.0. Repubes want to push others down.
If it were their choice, they'd just vote among themselves, using ballots with only one option.
Johnny Cash Man in Black lyrics "I'd love to wear a rainbow every day.". He also had an album titled Rainbow and also sang Rainbow Connection(cover) and Here comes that Rainbow again. LOL

The American credo: If there's even a chance some of our resources could go to illegal immigrants, we refuse to send it to anyone at all.
to be honest, good luck to illegals, it seems even American citizens have a hard time receiving any of those "resources"... at least not before some over-stuffed billionaire takes most of it for himself.
Did Kevin McCarthy stumble while reading a Dr. Seuss book for children? How embarrassing for him and those who voted for him.
LOL. I'd agree with this except for one exception... there's a Dr. Seuss book that actually has a disclaimer at the beginning, telling you to read that particular book SLOWLY and CAREFULLY. Which I thought was hilarious and I blew off the warning when reading to my nephew... until the tongue-twister words Dr. Seuss used tripped me up so badly, it was embarrassing. I was like, "Hold on. Let me try that again." *GRIN I can't remember which book it is, but that warning is there for a good reason, LOL. Green Eggs and Ham, though. That's an easy one. ;) Edited to add: Found it! It's Fox in Socks, which came with this warning: "This is a book you read aloud to find out just how smart your tongue is. The first time you read it, don't go fast!" I still ignored that warning, until the words from that book totally got me. I think I had to start all over again. :D

Arguing with Republicans is like arguing with middle schoolers. Everything you do is wrong and bad, they know better but you won't let them! And if you do, the house expectedly burns down.
"It's hard to argue with a smart person. It's impossible to argue with a stupid person" seems pretty fitting here

The irony of Kevin McCarthy reading a children's book about not being afraid to try new things is fantastic.
Instead of taking precautions, Republicans wait for everything to go to s--- and then they react to it wasting time and spending more money in the process instead of putting in the effort to prevent it as best as possible. I also forgot, we also have school districts mismanaging funds meant for schools and students. As they line their pockets, the next generation loses. And always remember, don't feed the trolls. Ignore them.
Don't forget about the part where they don't use the money in any meaningful way either. Just kinda throw it to the wind, and ensure it doesn't get to the people that need help the most.
you missed the step where they blame everything on the democrats, even if they're in power, even when it's in a deep red state.

Just saying, the minimum wage was designed to keep up with inflation. It has been $7.25 for almost 40 years. People need to have higher wages so that they don't have to work 2 jobs just to get by.
Only 11 years. Back in 1998-9 I got minimum while working at my college, $5.15/hr, and it had just gotten raised then IIRC so they cut hours for all work-aid/work-study employees.
@@jb888888888 $5.15 in 1998 is worth 8.36 now. Minimun wage is a full $ 1.21 or 25 percent below what it should be over that time period alone. Meanwhile in Canada a supposedly poorer country they have 15 dollar minimum wage and three weeks of guaranteed paid sick days. In USA that number is Zero

"Food insecurity". I feel that. I've been unemployed since June. Not qualified for any benefits or state assistance. I have learned to make seitan so that I can spread my food budget further. Instead of paying $5 for a single pack of vegan meat, I can make a weeks worth for $3. I imagine this is what it was like during the Great Depression. Stay safe and take care everyone.
@Kimberly Christine I really wish I could do a garden. Been wanting to for years. I have yard space and time since I am unemployed and employers have been doing interviews over the phone, but I have big dogs. My back yard is separated into two parts. One side is for them and they've torn up the ground leaving the majority of if dirt and the other is towered over by a giant oak tree that has roots all over the ground, above and below. It makes digging virtually impossible. I recently subscribed to a channel that showed someone growing produce in aboveground planters. If I gather enough funds, I may give that a go. I may not have children, but my mother raised seven children on her own and we used to say "you better eat as much as you can now because you don't know when you'll eat again." Ha ha ha. It was bad back then, but like you did during the recession, we learn and persevere. There's another channel called Kitchen Chronicles and she makes a lot of meals that can be altered for vegan and the ingredients are simple and cheap. It has also helped spread my food budget. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
Good luck to you friend. I sincerely hope the $1400.00 check will help you out. And as Covid-19 is conquered, good jobs will be offered to you. Best wishes from VT

That's just in the majority-black districts. There's very little waiting in the white neighborhoods.
The Georga GOP saw the writting on the wall with Stacy Abrams getting the black community out to vote, Georga turning blue, and Ossof and Warnock winning the Senate. So the GOP desired to stop the black community from voting, but worded in a way that wasn't blatantly obvious.
I wonder how much they charge them in taxes every year! I wonder how much voting suppression they do in a year ?I wonder how many polling booths they’re going to put together or should I say lack of voting booths. Georgia wants to remain Republican but it is turning Democrat because Republicans do nothing for them! They promised them the world but don’t deliver on anything! I bet you everyone in an essential job in Georgia is making $7.25 an hour. And they don’t get paid vacations and they do not get more than two sick days in a three month period and the cost of health insurance is way beyond what they are paid in a year! Yeah Georgia you’re so smart you just put yourself on the map for being racist,And suppression, and definitely Republican through and through!
Welcome to Missouri!
How is that even possible, NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED to help anybody not even their own constituents!!!!!!!! And they want us to believe they care about this Country,
Same thing GRUMP did to his republikkkans !! Throw them under the bus. 😆 😆 😆
I just love the way Seth Meyers articulates the humor in such a "crazy" times we live in... From BC Canada Sending Peace vibes you way.
I can handle difference in opinion, but I can't handle people who lie absurd amounts to try and get people to believe in those lies.
There's no discussion possible if one side doesn't believe in facts and reality.
I can’t stand people who believe stoopid things that 5 seconds of critical thinking would eliminate as anything resembling truth
Humble Request to GOP: Please Stop Enabling the Top 1% of the Country!!
GOP after reading your request: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA
Need to overturn Citizens United to do this.
Bad idea to watch this episode at work. I literally laughed out loud (and increasingly louder) the entire time during the "Green Eggs and Ham" reading 😂😂😂😂
$50 billion to FEMA $86 billion to bail out pensions $128.5 billion to public schools $350 billion to give unemployment $200 million for new museums $270 million to the National Endowment for the arts. Thanks for using my money 🤬
I'm trying to think of another government in a developed country where elected officials reading out a childrens' book is tolerated in a government session. Seriously, do US politicians have nothing better to do? Aren't they supposed to be running the country?
@FunDumb Hero savage!
Well a distraction is always good when one of their own has screwed up! They will try and create any waves that they can to make sure that the proof of the guilty party is not known by starting stupid stuff by attacking children’s books and attacking children’s toys!
How much are their salaries? Easy money just to vote against your constituents wellbeing
What makes you think the US is a developed country? That may have been true as recently as 1980.IMO since Reagan.the term no longer applies.
Yeah, this is ridiculous. Totally unprecedented for an elected Federal office holder to address the public in his official capacity by reading them _Green Eggs and Ham!_ ...oh, no, wait, Ted Cruz already did that. To be fair, though, it's a lot more intelligent and meaningful than anything either of these guys ever say when they write their own stuff. And it's written at the reading level of most of their supporters.
Then no republican should receive The stimulus check...
Yes! I 💙 this idea.
Sounds great
it's for americans, all americans. They have the right to vote "no" on it and we accept that. Doesn't make them right or wrong, voters decide if their representatives are doing the expected thing.
@@mreeeeeegf yes. I agree with you dude... Its for ALL Americans... But if theres certain Americans who vote that they Do NOT want it... Then they SHOULDN'T get it. Right?
@@jchris1697 for all americans... except the one who explicitly didn't want it (agreeing wit you)
I've been saying this to myself for the last year/last 4 years, but I hope more than anything I've hoped for in my life that the US citizens NEVER FORGET what the GOP has been doing to their country for the last year/last 4 years/for longer than I know. It's beyond sickening and disgusting and I just hope the US citizens make the GOP pay for their treasonous and despicable actions. :(
"Not a Single House Or Senate Republican voted for this bill" This Should be on every ad from the Democrats in 2022....
Darth Vader : EMBRACE THE DARK SIDE Lindsey Graham : where do I sign up
So the whole "government of the people, for the people, by the people" was just sort of a suggestion?
Until money gets out of politics our reps and senators will never act in our best interests. “We the people” cannot donate to re-election campaigns in the same capacity as corporations and wealthy ppl.
Let us pause for a moment to reflect on Kevin McCarthy reading Green Eggs and Ham and being completely incapable of understanding that the message of the book is the importance of open-mindedness.
“Bad things happen when l put it away wet!” 😂
I never imagined that I would hate the book Green Eggs and Ham until Ted Cruz, and now Kevin McCarthy, each found a way to make me hate it.
Maybe this will help you: kzhead.info/sun/dJWmoctsemKXqnk/bejne.html EDIT: More complete version, but worse video: kzhead.info/sun/ja2Rf9eekZGnnKc/bejne.html
The company made a choice not to print a few of the books, and the people who disagree w/ that decision rewarded the company by rushing out to buy their books? I honestly don't understand humans.
12:06 That grin on Dr. Gaslight's face really screams "COVID GOOD! MY PORTFOLIO TRIPLED AND I KEEP GETTING PUT ON T.V.!"
He wants to harness the "magic" He wants to also be "KKKing Wizard"
I love Seth yelling off camera. Miss those days he use to yell for 'MEEEEELLLLL'!
Yet they are trying to rebrand themselves as the party of the working class. Typical conmen...
The irony, it hurts
Hey, look at how much support they're giving the unionizing Amazon workers! [...tumbleweed goes by]
That is one of the stupidest moves in Republican history, Republicans in Congress have never worked an honest day in their lives; they cannot relate to a working man or woman.
Simple solution that will cut the cost of the bill Let senators vote whether or not their own state wants relief Give them the opportunity to refuse payment If the Republicans are convinced that their constituents truly oppose the bill, then don't give it to them. I feel like that would solve the problem If they are right, the cost of the bill goes down If they are wrong, then they get to face their constituents These people were elected to enact the will of the people So if a state elected someone who is more concerned with Children's Books than a financial crisis That state gets what it asked for, and might vote differently next time I'm from a red state by the way. Maybe my neighbors will wake up and pay attention and see who is actually trying to help them, and vote accordingly
Well stated!
"A sucker is born every minute". Isnt this attributed to P.T. Barnum?
@Cereal Pirate No, you are very wrong. @ScaryEducatedChic is indeed very correct. Probably because she's educated. I suspect you're NOT.
That dude reading Green Eggs and Ham truly made me feel as though I had been kidnapped.
Green Eggs and Ham is so f*cking dumb and banal
One thought about him reading Green eggs and ham: The book is about trying something you don’t think you’ll like. And my thought is: Try looking out for your supporters first and being ethical! Try it! You might like it!
No way I will like it, Sam I am,/ my voters can eat rotten cheese and ham/ while I say "look how rich I am".
Yall understand only 9% of the 1.9 trillion is for covid relief right?
Amen to that! From BC Canada
Looking out for WHO? What exactly do you think is in the Bill? It ain't money for YOU OR ME!!
@@anthonycurby4606 "Yall" understand that you're spouting Republican lies, right? He literally spoke about almost 1 trillion being used for Covid relief in the damn video. Have you read the bill? No? Neither has *any* Republican. They're making claims based on ignorance, and you believe them without question for the same reason.
I love the Lindsey Graham and Me ma parts, could watch a whole show of those :)
I’m gonna hug so many strangers once this thing is over. Get ready to be hugged if you live anywhere in VA!
Lindsay Graham is starting to sound more and more like a woman making excuses for an abusive relationship. "But Memaw...you just don't understand him like I do!"
Well he has been living with a Man for over 30 years soooo..
He only incites insurrections when he loses, Maw.
HAHAHAHA!
The look on the Axios' reporters face said it all. :D
“But Maury, he loooove me!”
I think if you bring up crap that does not matter in a Senate session you should be kicked out of decision making.
Seth, we need Term Limits at the House and especially the Senate. They get paid almost $200,000 plus+. They are ok while America suffers, while they are allowed to play these childish games that at the end of the day they are not put in a bind while a pandemic is working and economy tanks and all the while Americans are not working, going homeless, going hungry, plainly suffering and their representatives cough cough republicans can give a damn even their own constituents. We need Term Limits and no more than 3 terms and no com backs or affiliation with any seat in either House - they need to go find a real frkn job just as all Americans. cruz needs to be ousted. He is one of many reason why we have problems in our government. SMH. Do a show on Term Limits to get the ball rolling. They go in average and come out millionaires. SMH.
Thanks man, you made me chuckle today. I needed to.
When those Americans go to the polls in 2022 and 2024 they will remember that NOT 1 Republican voted to help them during this time!!!!!
I missed my bedtime just so that seth's monologue could talk me to sleep, love you Seth from Grenada. Sending you sunshine hugs and kisses.
If cancel culture was real, we would've cancelled the rethug party.
If only
Bob, love your show. Also, tell Darrel I said hello. Keep up the great work.🦉
Great one SETH. . . Closer look of substance funny and you got MEMAW in there! That was the most important part!
"We have no policies of our own left, they've all been consumed in the eternal burning vacuousness of trumpism... So we'll just be against whatever the other guys are for!"
I see no lies in the above statement. But really these people don't deserve a dime of our tax payer money. They've been dragging, and continue to drag, their feet all throughout this pandemic. All they do is stall and stall. The typical US citizen could never do such tomfoolery at their place of work.
Kevin McCarthy should have read the Lorax and then told us Climate Change isn’t real. That would’ve been great.
Truth
I don't think Republicans understand irony. They certainly can't tell the difference between conspiracy theories and the truth.
Why does it take over a day for the monologue to appear when the other late night monologues are downloaded within a couple hours? It is now Wed. afternoon ET and still no Tuesday monologue. Why????
10K stim checks to 130M households would cost 1.2T, less than the 1.9T bill. Reduce eligibility and you could increase the checks more. Direct payments would help FAR more than trickle down payments to everybody else. No M4A, no UBI, no 15 min wage. I spent all last year with no job, no unemployment no income AT ALL, and almost didn't get the piddly 1200. WTF is 1400 gonna do for a year of bills???
