So let me get this straight :
CV-19 is dangerous/ contagious enough to warrant releasing inmates from prison but it’s *NOT* dangerous/ contagious enough to keep our children out of schools this fall 🤔
Good Grief! Were you looking for logic?
Only here in America, land of the stupid and home of the amoral.
KelZ X that is so profound, "it should be on a bumper sticker".
Nailed it
Yep! You got it. The school boards are meeting remotely to make plans to send teachers and kids back to school in person.
My friend is a teacher and these are the questions she thinks need answered before schools open.
• If a teacher tests positive for COVID-19 are they required to quarantine for 2 weeks? Is their sick leave covered, paid?
• If that teacher has 5 classes a day with 30 students each, do all 150 of those students need to then stay home and quarantine for 14 days?
• Do all 150 of those students now have to get tested? Are they happening at school? How are the parents being notified? Does everyone in each of those kids' families need to get tested?
• What if someone who lives in the same house as a teacher tests positive? Does that teacher now need to take 14 days off of work to quarantine? Is that time off covered? Paid?
• Where is the district going to find a substitute teacher who will work in a classroom full of exposed, possibly infected students for substitute pay?
• Substitutes teach in multiple schools. What if they are diagnosed with COVID-19? Do all the kids in each school now have to quarantine and get tested?
• What if a student in your kid's class tests positive? What if your kid tests positive? Does every other student and teacher they have been around quarantine? Do we all get notified who is infected and when? Or because of regulations are parents and teachers just going to get mysterious “may have been in contact” notices all year long?
• What is this stress going to do to our teachers? How does it affect their health and well-being? How does it affect their ability to teach? How does it affect the quality of education they are able to provide? What is it going to do to our kids? What are the long-term effects of consistently being stressed out?
• How will it affect students and faculty when the first teacher in their school dies from this? The first parent of a student who brought it home? The first kid?
• We are choosing to put our teachers in danger. We're not paying them more. We aren't spending anywhere near the right amount to protect them. And in turn, we are putting ourselves and our kids in danger.
Please copy, paste and share.
Perfect example. Thank You
They'll never get answered, because Hillary won't release her emails. It's all her fault this is going on! /s
Lab Rat great points! And it’s also the cafeteria workers and janitors who interact with the students and teachers...SMH
@@4ElementGirl Also Obama didn't do enough Covid tests so this is all his fault
@@funkymunky8787 According to one Trumpian Obama was also absent on 9/11 and that person needs an answer as to why he was.
I swear that Seth's 'adventures with a mysterious door on his attic and now his in-laws' house' are more exciting than a lot of those new Netflix shows. XD
pandemic story: I just facetime my niece not knowing she changed her phone number and end up talking for over 2 hours with a complete stranger. we both had nothing better to do 😂.
I love that. Thank you for telling us.
This made me laugh, I needed that. Honestly at this point, I would do the same easily.
Thanks for the uplift. Much needed.
@@RobespierreThePoof My advice to you is to just smell the roses sometimes, pal. Normal things are rarely exciting or memorable. Only when we venture into the odd or the strange can we help to glean new information, be surprised, or find spontaneous joy. Think about it, and be less critical
Love this. I hope some cool, random stuff happens for me soon. Being stuck at home has really become taxing & predictable 😩
The hypocrisy behind the Donner reference is mind blowing. Social distancing is adapting, wearing a mask is adapting, closing schools is adapting. Ignoring health experts and reopening everything is NOT adapting
Hypocrisy isn´t a thing in TrumpWorld, just like truth, the law, logic, common sense, empathy etc etc
Also extra dumb because the Donner party was warned multiple times, even after it started snowing! At one of the last places the road split a hunter told them to take the other route and they still chose the path that lead them to their doom.
If he'd been there he would have told the Donner Party to just keep going without changing anything until they died of starvation or hypothermia. "Just act like we're not dying."
@@darkstar932 Oh, and there's a Trump Hotel at the peak! Off-season rates apply!
no hypocrisy. rush limbaugh and his republican brethren have cannibalized other american's jobs and savings just like the donner party cannibalized each other.
"America, please vote him out."
- From the rest of the world.

We will. I promise.

We're going to try. My fear is he'll just not leave office.
So I guess the Joker was right?
"When the chips are down, these... these 'civilized' people, they'll eat each other."
We live in a S O C I E T Y
"The proud lack of empathy, the intentional cruelty, inflicting misery on your opponents and disfavored groups just to prove your dominance..." Spot on Seth Meyers. Well done.
There is no more corrupt value than the lefts claim of empathy, as it is always selective, and inevitably justification for hatred.
Huh?
NO, THAT IS FAKE COMEDY ROUTINE. FOR MORONS LIKE YOU.
I was watching his so called press conference on CBS and about 10-15 min in when CBS realized he was just basically talking about himself, they cut him off...👍🏾👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽
"Let's adapt to death and destruction"
Wouldn't it be easier to adapt to wearing a mask and keeping a distance???
Why? masks are a clear threat to freedom & death is just..... oops
If it's too easy they won't do it.
@@samuelvimes5770 They are always saying "give me liberty or give me death", I say let them have the death.
Leggo My Ego unfortunately they will take other’s down with them.
Hell yeah, let's adapt to death and destruction! There's no need for car manufacturers to recall cars for a known deadly flaw or for food inspectors to inspect food for e coli. While we're at it, let's stop making progress on curing cancer, diabetes or hypertension. People are going to die. That's a fact of life.
I love how he’s like “we can adapt,” and I’m here like, yeah, we could have by wearing masks, social distancing, testing, contact tracing, and maybe quarantining where needed like every other country in the world, and we’d be on the decline now. This is the guy who refused to adapt in reasonable ways, so his version of adapting is “just let people get sick and die and pick up their slack to keep the economy going.” Not surprising that he views the Donner Party as a bastion of leadership.
The virus is endemic so if you think is going away you are simply dumb. When a virus has infected over 10 million people in 100 countries you can no longer wait it out, and since they mutate so quickly a vaccine is not going to eradicate it either. Ever heard of a flu shot? We still have the flu, right? come on sheeple. And the death rate of Covid vs the flu is about double so its not going to wipe out humanity. There is no other choice but to adapt at this point. Sorry but its not going away, the only option is to adapt.
@@nneuhaus84 but we did all of what @Michael Brew told and now my country has 0 cases of local transmission of the virus. ZERO. We have only maybe 2-3 imported cases, and those cases were put in quarantine when they reached Mauritius, so no roaming about the locals. Your president fucked up and that's it. And we are not the only country who were able to flatten the curve.
@Chris Mine Mauritius! We have less than 5 imported cases and those cases have went straight to quarantine. Our borders are still closed. And mostly everything has resumed normally. We still wear masks though, follow social distancing and the "work from home" method is still encouraged and done my many companies (including mine). You are free to look it up on any site you may for info I provided. So erm no, I'm not a bot.
@@lowcarbintheuk Mauritius! 😁
To be fair to Rush, this is also the guy who looked at the Donner Party - a group who was woefully unprepared for the reality of their journey, who pressed on after discovering they were working from bad intel (including a map drawn by a guy who had never actually traveled the trail) and made basically every mistake possible owing their ignorance and inexperience - and somehow concluded that the moral of their story was "you have to adapt".
"Fun" fact; one of the survivors became a vegetarian for the rest of her days and was IIRC especially triggered by the smells of food on Thanksgiving or Christmas.
My wife is a teacher, and in a GOP-saturated area, it's sad for me to see how last year parents were praising teachers and holding signs saying how much they love teachers. But now that Trump says schools "have to reopen," those same teachers--who are taking care of medically vulnerable kids or parents (or are vulnerable themselves) are suddenly made pariahs if they have the smallest objections to being back in a classroom with 30 kids.
Just throw all the teachers under the bus. It's okay. They're just whining, right? They don't make jack for wages, and now they're literally being thrown into a petri dish with a room of students who may or may not be wearing masks, and will probably come to school when they're sick because "the president said it's all political. So mom and dad said I could come."
Damn these people. Were it not for teachers who give damn, they'd be in a trailer park opening beer cans with their teeth. Not programming computers.
I pray for you wife and every educator that is forced to go back to work. My cousin, in her early 30s is a teacher - is in superb health HOWEVER, she has refused to go back to school until Dr Fauci says so.
Funny, if teachers were so great why is everyone "racist", its almost like they are doing a bad job. All the bad results are from the institutions filled with leftist democrats, go figure. Also Sweden never locked down and their children are back in school, their body count is now in the low single digits per day. Lets be serious here, the left have found comfort in fear having chased phantoms for 4 years they finally have something almost real, but not really once you actually look at the data. These teachers need to go back to work, or stop taking a paycheck. Countless other people are and have been at work this entire time, keeping the country alive, the entitlement of the government parasite class who think they can hide forever is incredible, and its revealed teachers for what they are, not brave, but the timid who took the last path open to them when others closed. People who are on the path to becoming astronauts or doctors don't choose instead to become a teacher, lets not kid ourselves now. For the longest time now we've scraped the bottom of the barrel. Quality teachers only existed in large quantities when women had fewer choices in occupation, and so intelligent women would still become teachers, this no longer is the case, this is the stark reality.
@@woooweee Unfortunately, you seemed to have missed one of those quality teachers. They would have failed you in English for both your writing and the fact that you can't put together a coherent argument.
Let's start at the beginning, genius. Teachers aren't responsible for teaching kids to be racist. Believe it or not, parents are responsible for things, too. I know it's hard for a person with such a small mind to understand, but teachers aren't the only adult role models in a child's life.
Second. Sweden has one of the lowest body counts, sure. But they also have an extremely low population. When you look at their fatalities per capita, they had one of the worst in the world. It would've been much worse if private groups (individuals, companies, etc.) hadn't taken responsibility where the government didn't.
Third: Teachers have been working this whole time. I know it's hard for people like you to figure out, but teachers don't actually get the summer off. They work on their classroom, collaborate with other teachers on the curriculum, plan for 180 school days, etc. And when I hear people like you spew idiocy like this, I just know your brats are going to be just as miserable to be around as you. You're the kind of person that makes my wife have headaches when she comes home after her 11 hour days. You're the kind of idiot that makes me want to beat the hell out of someone when she has to work 5 hours each Saturday. You're a pathetic bigot that thinks it's okay for someone to get a 4-year degree because they want to help kids to learn to read, but their first seven years are below the poverty line--and they still have to pay for supplies from their own pocket.
We've been scraping the bottom of the barrel, all right. Parents like you are the dregs of society, and you're making your kids--and the world--worse.
@@woooweee Sorry, you seem to have lost out on the brains category. Sweden's death rate is WORSE than the US. Aside from Sweden, every single other developed country is well on the back side of the curve, and every single one of them is left of you. You're in freefall. The rest of the developed world is not. By American standards we're all left of Sanders.
Traditionally, the right trusted science more than the left did. Not so in America, where it's religious crackpot right.
@@jeffdiamond486 You type so much to say nothing. The only thing that matters is that swedens current death rate is about 5 per day, it renders all your other concerns invalid.
Teachers on average have some of the lowest iq's in higher education, nothing is evenly distributed. These are the very people claiming institutional racism, and they are the ones who have total control the institutions. I'm not a teacher so don't insult my intelligence with the "summer work", its barely anything considering what other essential workers have to put up with and is frankly the consequence of extreme inefficiencies in an archaic system which justifies itself through its unions. Its make work, math has been math for the longest time, you don't have to remake the curriculum every year unless its a scam like university text books which have a new edition printed each year to force purchases through student debt.
OMG ... he seriously ignored the question and/or the mention of a teacher dying! He just doesn’t care. He needs to be voted out. He doesn’t care jack crap 💩 about this country or the people.
Mary Trump:.. My uncle president Trump paid a dude to take his SAT'S

It's a classic narcissist gas-lighting technique. Turn it around and make the other person appear crazy and wrong. He's so damn obvious!
Exactly.👍
Don't b upset about the wall!
No, it is an answer that tries to put things into perspective. You guys are just riding on the mainstream wave which is why you will never get to the source. For that you need to be willing to swim against the stream.
@@tomgurke Bullsh*t. It isn't an answer AT ALL. It's a Pivot to a Diversion which is then used to Spin a Lie into something to make him look good to his base.
Divert, Pivot, Spin, Lie, AKA the donald trump shuffle.
The Donner party is the perfect metaphor because if they had listened to people who knew what they were talking about, they wouldn't have been in that situation in the first place.
Exactly
Right? I'm thinking, gee Rush you sure you want to compare our country as lead by dear Donnie to the disaster that was the Donner party? Seems pretty accurate, come to think of it.
Boom goes the dynamite!
Eeeexxxxxactly
And it was mostly the younger generation eating the old
"Your neighbors are delicious!" Who doesn't want to be like this for 4 more years?
Is that Rush Limbaugh's way of saying "Eat the rich"?
If you still support trump after everything he's said and done there is something really wrong with you .
Yeah, it's called patriotic!! Not like you libtards like this moron seth and the dems. You're backing Bernie not Joe but you're all too dumb to see it lol.
the truth Oh please!🙄
@@lumo7461 thanks for proving his point. You're either 9yrs old or there's a lot wrong with you
@@lumo7461 Being patriotic is supporting your country, not necessarily your leader. It means doing what's best for the entire country, which is the opposite of how Trump operates.
@@lumo7461 You have no idea what the word even means.....go away and play with your confederate statues you clown.
Isn’t wearing face masks, washing your hands frequently, and maintaining social distance the adaptation? I mean... 🤦♀️
Well the goal of that was to be in the position the New Zealand is in now, meaning free of the virus as the virus wasn’t allowed to spread. People didn’t take it seriously and now here’s where we are.
Now by adapting to the virus, the Trump team is effectively wanting this virus to just become a part of life, just like the flu is
@@Christoph5782 the flu kills few and there is a great vaccine for the flu. The corona VIRUS will ruin this nation and still make you I'll even after you beat it and survive!
Muh rights!
@Steve N Corona viruses in general mutate relatively slowly. There are only 7 corona viruses that affect humans - four of them make up a minority of the common cold, and the other three are SARs, MERs and Covid. If they mutated quickly, there'd be a LOT more of them.
The common cold is mostly rhinovirus, which mutate like mad. Which is why vaccines are mostly useless for colds. Flu viruses mutate more slowly, and there are fewer of them, so it's possible to predict based one based on eearly reports from the countries "in season" (like Australia) which vaccines have a good chance of working when other parts of the world become "in season" for the flue..
Covid-19 *may* go away just like SARs did. MERs is so rare as to be a curiousity.
Given the multiple avenues for designing vaccines, and today's abilities, I really don't much doubt that there will be a reasonable effective vaccine for Covid. Some of these approaches are inherently longer-lived than simple acquired but survived immunity. We just have to see.
Trump's "What a terrible question to ask ..." is rolled out every time he is cornered.
"What a terrible answer." is the only way to respond to anything Trump says.
How about the fact that the death rate for C-vid WITHOUT a vaccine is lower than the death rate of seasonal flu WITH a vaccine? Let that sink in. You people have been fooled into not working to keep you broke, socialist state forced by Democrats. Wake up.
"It is easier to fool someone than convince them they have been fooled." - Some dude who knew about fooling people
The insults masked as “questions” are actually quite terrible. “Why do you beat your wife?” Trump fights back against the filthy propagandists. That is why we love him!
65 TossPowerTrap Trump is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person.
@@McJerkins COVID-19 not only has a higher death rate, but it is also more infectious. Go spread your fake news somewhere else.
Thanks to Trump's (PERMANENT) corporate tax giveaway, the top 1% has been raking in billions during the pandemic. Looks like you're the fool yet again.
“Epic ramp fails” nearly killed me when I fell over my ottoman...
I demand an apology for making me listen to 30 seconds of Rush Limbaugh.
Same. I feel dirty now.
Ha, this is great. Too true. What a snowflake he is. Trump is more of a snowflake, but Rush is close.
This was only 30 seconds ?!
"What a terrible question to ask"... no you're just a terrible president.
He couldn't resist trying to humiliate and demoralize a woman.

@@priscillamoore5736 That was the ONLY reason I kind of wanted Kamala to win the nomination-she would absolutely DECIMATE him in a debate.
"They think they'll do better in the election if they can keep the schools closed."
He's admitting that he wants to re-open the schools for political reasons.
The people who don't believe in evolution are yelling about "adaptation".
"No concept of adaptation." You mean like, uh, wearing a mask in public to protect your fellow citizens and your family? You know, like, uh, being a patriot?
This has nothing to do with nations. It's about being a good human, not just a good citizen.
No, he means like sacrificing yourself and your loved ones so that his rich buddies can get another buck they didn't earn.
He's no patriot. He hates America, hates everything about it and hates the people who live here.
Never in my life would I have thought America would be under attack by its own president.
Seth sorry to inform everyone, but Narcissists can not and will not demonstrate emotions nor empathy.
Another session of “racist dementia grandpa speaking his mind at the Thanksgiving table”
Lol. That Donner party reference is more spot on than Rush knows.
1: They got the idea to go on the path they were on because of a book by some know nothing charlatan who hadn't actually fully mapped out the area said it was a shortcut.
2. They were told multiple times by experts to change course because the path they were on was treacherous and likely to lead to ruin.
3. They stubbornly refused to listen despite mounting evidence they were making their situation worse.
4. Due to failures in leadership they eventually devolved into theft, murder and cannibalism while half of the party died.
Cool. See you in a couple months guys, well, the half of you that haven't been eaten.
This comment needs to be higher
WOW
I was waiting for him to say something about how on point it was too! Glad you did lol.
Excellent breakdown...
Holstorr Sceadus Thank you for your articulate post.
When asked about dying people...he replied with NASDAQ...if this didn't convince you about his strategy.. nothing will
And even then he cherry-picked - the other indices have not recovered.
In Austin, Tx. all the local stations cut it off for local news, LOL.
As. I missed that part!
Their afraid because shutting things down means our kids aren't in school, the state doesn't have direct access to our kids or into our lives. Ppl will get to know their neighbors and start strengthening their community ties. They know they better stop it quick or we may realize fellow citizens aren't the enemy, they are!
I can't remember anybody talking about how great our public education system was before all this.
He’s trying to act as if he didn’t say “apolish” by saying abolish several times!
“The people of our country should think of themselves as warriors.” - Trump
By "warriors" he actually meant "cannon fodder".
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣👍😎 Good one. Sorry, it’s NOT actually “funny”, tho. 🙁
Scerntific expurrimunt....
How laughable, Chump, the 5 time draft avoider, thinks the rest of us should think of ourselves as warriors.
How about this, Chump: you do a 6 month tour of duty in Afghanistan, and if you don't return in a body bag...you can tell the rest of us HOW to be warriors?
And yes, I am a veteran.
The people are warriors of the fight against themselves, they should be fighting against the virus instead
This comment reminds me of Attack on Titan 😂
Remember when it was all gonna "Go away with the heat"?
Florida doesn't.
Well, you know what they say -- it's not the heat, it's the stupidity.
neither does Texas
😂😅
All I’m hearing from Limbaugh is “Eat the rich...” Well, you heard the man.
I love the Sea Captain! Best co-host ever.
So strange how the "best country in the world" has to just learn to live with a pandemic, while the rest of the world is handling it just fine in comparison.
Much best. So strong.
Isn't it ironic how the US keeps on blaming China, even though they are the main breeding ground for the virus.
MAGA and Be Best are the mantras that came from this WH. Be best....that is the stupidest I've ever heard. Doesn't even make sense!
Covid has just allowed us to finally pin down when Trump thinks America was "great." Apparently 1918 was the glory year that he's bringing back.
@@altrag - And of course he keeps referring to the "1917" epidemic. (Maybe he saw the movie by that name and it got stuck in his head.)
That’s not fair to the rest of the world. My country was handling it fine until we decided to pretend it isn’t happening in order to maintain privatization.
"We have to adapt"
From the party who constantly say "There nothing we can do about that" and who block every change people try to make to adapt society. Bold
Aren't Con-servatives the same people who as William Buckley described "...who stand athwart history and yell "Stop!""? Those people we're taking advice from?
They refuse to adapt
The irony of Rush saying "we'll just adapt" to mean that they will refuse to wear a mask or social distance or do anything to admit there's a pandemic is epic.
These dumbfucks look at histories tragedies and mistakes and think "that did a good job".
Yep. Many of us adapted by wearing masks and changing our behavior. So... Who ISN'T adapting?
Thank you for the poignant summary piece on this era of our Country. I could feel the genuine rage and disgust in every well-stitched joke used for comic just-barely-enough-relief.
It was honest and earnest and compelling.
This is my favorite pandemic/work-from-home era segment. Seth Meyers is the voice of the shelter-in-pain time of my fucking life.
I feel sincerely hopeless every single day from the time I wake up to the time I somehow fall asleep somewhere that is not my bed not under a clean blanket, in complete discomfort and yet still totally unbeknownst to myself until I've woken up again because the anxiety and restlessness induced insomnia I cant shake forces me to stare into the void that is my own consciousness for somehow hours longer than I think, each time, I am capable if bearing.... And these videos remind that I am not alone -- and while this fact is yet another terrible reality of our time, it is one that not only stirs awake in me a new capacity for empathy from within the depths of what otherwise would only be grief... it is also one that brings me a desperately needed comfort, via commiseration.
Limbaugh: We need to learn how to adapt.
Society needs you to pay more in taxes, Limbaugh. Just adapt.
Pls can Stephen Colbert and Seth meyers never go on hiatus at the same time again..
I am disappointed that the reporters just didn’t get up and walk away from the “news briefing”!
Michael Bremseth They are recording it for posterity, should there still be generations to come.
Yes!! Draw a line in the sand and when Trump outright lies, get up and LEAVE. If you want to hurt Trump, IGNORE HIM. That will kill him, he can't stand anonymity.
The problem is that even when he actually has something to say, he will waffle on about his "historic win" or something for at least half the time...
Lots of broadcasts cut away when they figured out it was a campaign rally.
Why do they never just tell it like it is
"They want to take the wall down"?... Oh, honey... The wall is taking itself down... lol
Wall is a waste of money it's still not done as he promised another lie in the virus is going right through that wall could have been money for the hospitals equipment lies lies lies more lies in Mexico is paying for it lies
Let's give it all the help it needs to do so!
Susan Cohen I know let’s open the border. That’s the ticket. Right. Let’s make our country a third world nation.
I listened to "The Last Podcast on the Left" detail the absolute hell that the Donner party went through just leading UP to getting stranded, never mind actually being stranded and starving. The starkest thing to me was the amount of horrible decisions that brought them to that point. Bad decisions included: starting their journey WAY too late, ignoring the advice of people who knew the terrain and seasonal patterns of the region, deviating from the well-trod trail that many many others had successfully used because a guy said he knew a shorter route, and not listening when someone in their own group said (paraphrasing) "maybe people are taking this known path for a reason and we shouldn't ignore warnings by people who've made this trip before."
Fun fact: The caravan split ways at that point. What came to be known as the Donner party are the people who took that sketchy "shortcut." It not only delayed them because of getting lost and getting snowed in while lost, but added hundreds of miles to their journey.
Also isn’t it illegal to give a campaign rally on government property?
Since when has legality mattered to the Orange Sniffly Shitgibbon and his hellspawn?
Hatch act, and yes. But nothing will come of it.
Yes and he's broken it many times. Along with other laws. Doesn't seem to matter in case you didn't notice :(
@@JohnVanderbeck "Winning"
Stop giving trump free publicity. Make him pay. I’m sure he has enough money, although I haven’t seen his taxes.
"People had to adapt"
He is so close to getting it. Only step missing is that wearing masks and practice social distancing ARE adaptations.
If David Spade and Will Arnett had a baby together it would be Seth Meyers.
Halfway through this video, I started smiling and laughing. I look forward to when all the late night talk shows are restored to their former glory, but this one did it for me. Thanks, Seth!
I love how some peoples will be like "we have to adapt" but won't wear a mask...
They wanna prove how tough americans are by having you die for them.
Whenever sacrifices are involved, "we" obviously means "you'.
The irony...
They won't wear a mask, but they'll eat other people!
It speaks volumes about people’s average intelligence seeing that some people still openly and actively support Trump
I suspect it has more to do with their belief system than their intelligence. Emotional intelligence perhaps.
The image of Trump in their heads doesn't align with the real Donald Trump. Right-wing media has been conditioning these folks (The Republican Base) for decades and filters and spins all the information they feed their audience.
@mitebg Trump was elected because he has no empathy and the Right finds that relatable.
People who were saying that they're rather be dead than wear a mask two months ago, were saying stuff like "How do I get one??" once they saw trump wear a mask.
I fucking hate this term, but they are the definition of sheep.
@mitebg "no its YOUR fault we did something stupid"
Pretty sure the right is mostly to blame for trump.
I love the Sea Captain, and i'm glad the Thorn Birds migrated
Trump: “They want to a POLISH our police department” 2:07 🤔🤨 hum? they want to make it shine again?
She should have said "What a terrible answer to give".
illiac: I thought the same thing. Why don't these newspeople call Trump and his trumpanzees liars to their faces?
Its too bad but these reporters are thinking about their careers and spurning the president will get you fired or at the very least blackballed from access. Reporters aren't expected to interject and push back so much as they're there to take in whatever craziness their subject might utter. Trump understands this which is why he spews so much BS on a constant basis. Its up to the listening public to use their reasoning skills to discern a con when they hear one, which is the ultimate folly of America where we expect the bare minimum of its ppl.
Exactly - or "Okay, why are you okay with so many PEOPLE being killed by the police?" or "As you said, many white and black people are being killed by the police. What are you doing to stop this?" Ugh, I can't watch his stupid face anymore. How does it make sense in his head for that question to be okay, so long as "more white people are dying" like WTH?
I wonder if she gets it, will stick to that?
Better put "That's a nasty answer, that's a nasty answer"
Gee, the administration would never screw with the postal service to make mail-in voting difficult, would they?
if some poor people don't have passport or driving licence, tough ! we'll make it as difficult as possible. so yes they would.
It’s a win, win for Donald and the Trumpians. Collapse the postal service and you gain advantage in the election and advantage one of your best political contributors, United Parcel Service.
There's too much electoral fraud. If you want to go to jail for 5 years. For voter fraud? Go right ahead.
trumpets will do it.
@@earlputnal9124 First one needs to join GOP (Grifters On Parole).
Who else appreciates his continuity with the thornbirds and the attic door?
Limbaugh shows us what conservatism is all about: not caring about other people. Hell, even shooting or eating them.
I love that he says "we have to adapt. There are ways to adapt to this" and he doesn't realise that wearing masks and social distancing is exactly that
Condolences to the teachers family , I know they have got to be disheartened at that response.
🤦🏽♀️...the absolute least he could have done was offer condolences
Radiah Sims Don’t hold your breath waiting for that
Republican mouthpieces: You must adapt or die by rolling the dice with your life with the disease. Only the strong should survive. We won't think about the children.
Also Republican mouthpieces: We cannot allow businesses to fail because they cannot adapt in this time of disease. Won't you think of the cash registers?
You kill me! 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣
You are always funny but this segment was beyond hysterical!!
Thanks for sharing your humor & especially your brutal honesty!!
How come when I say those things I'm "mean?" 😂
Insert Lord Farquad Meme: Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Or Zap Brannigan: "Knowing the kill bots had a set kill limit I sent wave after wave of my own men at them..."
EXACTLY
This is exactly what I think of!🤣
POSUS 45 is fear-groveling
It's the meme of this Administration
Limbaugh: He doesn’t realize that the point of the lesson of the Donner party is: Don’t blindly follow your leaders or you are going to end up dead! That is a closer analogy to Trump and his followers.
I had to learn this lesson the hard way
You gotta love how Limbaugh uses the Donner party as an aspirational story, like, “Wow, look how they overcame adversity,” instead of, “OMG, this is horrifying, let’s try NOT get to the point where our only option for survival is eating each other.” 😬😱
Let’s not forget about ostracizing the people who did these horrible things for the rest of their lives. Kinda a mean thing to do to people forced into cannibalism, but I feel is pretty fair to do with all the senators who acquitted Donald Trump.
I remember reading the book about the Donner party and yes they where mislead by greedy grifters who took advantage of them, took their money and misguided in the hopes of making more at their demise. May be a little off on the facts but, yes, that was a bad analogy. Leading sheep to slaughter until he and his kind our ousted.
Don't take unproven shortcuts when EVERYONE you crossed paths with, advised you not to. And don't eat the natives who tried to help you despite your stupidity.
Love the chimney crawl out and book toss! Thank you.
Thank you, Seth, for having the stomach to listen to all of this, and provide us with a closer look.
Normal people: "Black lives matter"!
Trump: "Stock markets matter"!
Trump doesn't know how to show empathy. He is incapable of showing love to anyone. He just thinks of himself.
Because his billionaire buddies only care about the stock market
Trump is too inept and lazy to do the actual job of being a President, so we all have to suck it up and just die.
@@davidgray8089 Nailed it.
My neighbor has a great sign in the back of his car it says all lives don't matter until black lives matter
I’ve been saying Adapt or Die since this whole thing kicked off. Most of us have adapted by limiting outings, social distancing and wearing masks.
Exactly what I was thinking. Those are the adaptations we need to make.
BUT MUH RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS!!!!! DERRRRRRRR
Not too hard for them to put a cross around their neck every day but get them to put a mask on???

Of course it's going to fall down he didnt vet any contractors he just gave the contracts to first asskisser that came along

“No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care” ― Theodore Roosevelt
Works for Trump, he doesn't know anything anyway so he's pretty safe also not caring.
That's a TR quote?
@@jeremysmith9694 It is NOW :) Seriously though, yes, it is. Good ol' Teddy, he hated that name, but that's the way I can't help but to see him in my mind when I read and listen to his own writings and those of many close friends and followers in his day. If you didn't know, the "teddy bear" was officially named after him personally. Another of my favorite quotes from TR is, "speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." I hope that Seth and Friends don't mind if I paste a fav bio link for TR: ua-cam.com/video/5yQGpC18v1U/v-deo.html
Wicker basket in the panic room🤣I'm a teacher that's been in bed for 5 days contemplating resignation. That's my panic room. Thank you for the laughs, as always
Rush adapts by taking a couple Oxy's and throwing some steaks on the grill. Haha
omg I just got to the teacher part. He is a heartless jerk.
The Donner Party didn't complain, says Rush, with zero self-awareness that his entire fortune has been made by complaining about EVERYTHING.
The Donner Party got stuck in the mountains cause they chose to take a shortcut instead of the established path. Just like Trump and the GOP throwing away Obama's pandemic response plan and hoping the coronavirus would just disappear.
Republicans naturally have no self-awareness. They look in the mirror and see an articulate, intelligent person.
We, on the other hand see them as the moronic shills they truly are.
Just look at whom they've allowed to be President and (after bumbling EVERY issue he's been faced with ) still support.
@@incognitro7634 In much the same way as Trump undoubtedly looks in the mirror and sees a handsome debonair guy instead of the orange pleather-skinned polyester-haired golem that he actually is.
I'm just waiting for someone to through their shoes at him the way they did Bush.
Seth saying he loves us gets me every time :,)
5:04 he didn't answer the question. A summer school teacher dies and you're asked to respond and you go with "schools should be opened"????
He has zero empathy. True sociopath.
Oh, he answered the question implicitly. His answer was "I don't care if the people I am 'leading' die."
@@chironOwlglassHe isn't Leading anything, he just wants to be " in charge."
He has decided to just ignore these issues. He has done it all his life. This shouldn't be surprising to anyone.
This president is The Four Horseman combined.
He's a horrible human being
Oh, remember those long ago days when the White House could not be used for campaigns? We used to make a distinction between being president and running for president. We were so naive.
Brilliant Seth.
Fantastic work.Great writing.Thank you.
by far the best late night host. To go along with the best material he has a running gag of a time portal and the Thornbergs. It's got it all. Seriously. Seth Myers is pretty much single handedly getting me through Covid.
oh and a sea captain hahaha
I’ve adapted to the virus: I wear a mask in indoor public places.
I had to go to the ER for a COPD episode and I was terrified to go due to the high number of covid patients in ER's everywhere. That has now become my reality....risking death by staying home going or somewhere to get help and wondering if I will come out sicker than when I went in.
Right??
@@paulabartholomew8497 I feel the same because of asthma.
"What a terrible question to ask"
Maybe it's just me but I have a feeling his response would have been less hostile if he was talking to a man. He just gives off that Neanderthal aura.
TRUTH! Literally every time he speaks to a news woman he sounds like he's berating a dog... It's fucking annoying...
HEY! Stop insulting Neanderthals! I mean, they may all be dead but that's no reason to compare them to the living garbage fire that is trump.
Edit: thought about it, maybe "living garbage fire" is a compliment for trump too.
Neanderthals couldn't adapt either!
@@elaineburnett5230 Wrong! They adapted by interbreeding with our ancestors. And just like them, almost everyone today has a little neanderthal in them.
Even a Neanderthal would make more sence then Drumpf* does.
Very difficult to listen to Rush most days. Also difficult to not call him out on his FB page. Thanks for helping us stay sane Seth Meyers.
Ivanka can start looking for her new job come November. I’m thinking Woolies check out chick.
"Viruses are a part of life". Car accidents are a part of (our) lives, too. That does not mean that I jump in front of a car to get hit by it.
Donner party did not set out in middle of winter:
1) fired guides
2) ignored advice to take the Oregon trail
3) took a 'new' trail not good for wagons
4) took less supplies as the new trail was supposed to be quicker
5) trapped by a very early snow storm (October I think) which doomed them
That monument must have been taken down as it seems like their only source for history nowadays XD
So, cannibalism is back on the menu...of choices. Isn't tradition wonderful?
Seems like they were not the brightest group of people,, and it didn’t end well for them when fate dealt them the early storm. I see the parallels between the US response to Covid, and it’s not gonna end well... y’all Please wash your hands and wear your mask 😷
They sound like modern day Republicans
Ha ha but don't let facts get in the way of a good story..
5:56 you're right Seth, that did make me smile...HARD!
Isn't wearing masks and respecting one another by social distancing the "adapting" that we need to do?
Limbaugh: We have to adapt!
Trump base: Yeahhh!
CDC: You have to wear a mask.
Trump base: Mah constertooshenal rights r under attack!
Exactly!
If only they could comprehend the utter irony of their position.
I would have loved a reaction compilation of Trumpists reacting to Trump's own mask.
Incidentally, The Thornbirds TV mini series was repeated on Irish television last week. I laughed wryly. Wryly, I tell you.

Limbaugh seems obsessed with cannibalism. He was talking about eating his neighbors a few weeks ago. Someone needs to keep an eye on that dude!
And check his garden for some new digging.
He's the same kind of clown as the man-child in the White House. I can't even utter his name before breakfast.
Was that him? I thought it was Alex Jones. Either way they're both surely a bit sick in the head, and getting sicker.
@@annakateputter_littlered It was Alex Jones, but they're all disgusting.
A spot check on how many neighbours there should be would be a good start.
“The Proud Lack of Empathy” says it all about this president and his entire republican fueled movement.

Did you cash the stimulus check Trump sent you?
@@rappinron1384 what's yer point, aside from foil that tops yer head, maybe...🤔🧐🙄😬
@@lisalisa1435 he thinks that Trump personal is writing the checks with his own money. Trumptards aren't that smart.
