To be honest, I preferred Hasan Minhaj's performance at the actual correspondents' dinner.

Yeah he really did a great job. It was especially funny since he was asked to take it easy on Trump and did the exact opposite.

Butt first, let's

I thought his delivery was a little rushed and off but a lot of that is probably nerves given that he was about to go to war with just every person he could think of and any line he could find.

I thought it was hilarious.

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
For y'all have knocked her up
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

There was a segment with a former Neo Nazi who runs a group that attempts to reform people and argued that a lot of them were basically drawn in for the same reason people are drawn into cults or gangs, because they're looking for acceptance, love, and a "family." So he argued that you don't change people's minds through punching them, you do it by showing them love and hugging them.

Bee did a bit about how she doesn't want to hug Nazis, she wants to hit them. Then there was a Portlandia comedy PSA about "love not hate" or something like that.

It didn't bother me but I also don't really support random violence even if I'm on antifa's side when the racists start it. And it was preceded by her pointing out the double standard from the right to not label white nationalists like Dylan Roof terrorists and how most domestic terrorism is performed by the right but the Trump Administration is turning attention and money away from combatting that. So it wasn't a "moral equivalence" segment as far as I saw.

You can judge for yourself.

Saw the episode, (PSVue got it but didn't bump it up to the top of the page for some reason). That was pretty inoffensive and largely correct in the broader sense. But when things are getting heated during a protest I really don't have a problem with antifa people knocking around some nazis if they start poo poo.

Hugging a nazi won't fix things either though, unless you address the underlying problems, which isn't an easy thing to do and certainly not something that will ever happen while we have Trump throwing gas on the fire.

It is, and I will check it out, but while I agree with outreach and peaceful cultural integration of the ignorant, I also see nazis ramming crowds of innocent protesters with cars who would benefit from someone willing to do violence to defend them.

It's a terrible situation we find ourselves in but we're in it.

Oh wait she actually identifies with conservatives like Glenn beck lmao

11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
Fits right in with Trevor Noah sending Tomi Lahren donuts and Colbert paling with Sean Spicer.
