And they're all doing this just to get invited to exclusive after parties and stuff.

    • @bestieswithtesties
      @bestieswithtesties Před 2 lety

      That's a great way to put it. Because just like all of America's other "checks and balances" that tend to say stuff shouldn't happen but don't actually stop anything if someone is determined enough, this conference does a great job at calling things out but probably won't actually do anything. Republicans are still on track to seize power in upcoming elections, Desantis is still full speed ahead to try and replace Trump as the same evil but actually competent and knows how to do it. Just like America's checks and balances have failed to save us from the republican take over so far, this conference will likely fail to save us as well. I hope somebody does something real before it's too late.

    Best WHCD comedian I have ever seen. Trevor is a very fast learner. A hard worker. Roasted in a bipartisan manner but was not mean. Provided nuance where needed. He hit the truth with art, subtlety and masterful stagecraft. Multitalented impressionist with great oratory. Smart, energetic, analytical and with heart, he ended with a reminder in a way that only a few could do. Trevor for President! Or at least Someone-Like-Trevor for President!

      You're spot on describing Trevor, he had us laughing out loud , and the tribute to Journalist , their roll in our Democracy, at the end was sincere.

    The countless names in politics and media that Trevor, as a comedian by profession, could memorize is astounding. But hey, it's Trevor Noah of course.

    I am so glad that nobody rushed to the stage/pulpit to thank Trevor Noah after the man-grilling job he did. Thanks America for creating a platform for Trevor Noah/South Africa/Continent of Africa to shine.
