Comments by "Kevin Street" (@Kevin_Street) on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" channel.

  1. McConnell is a just a bully who's been backed up against a wall. The Democrats he bullies have finally stood up to him (or said they might stand up to him), and all he's got left is rage and promises of future retribution. But like all bullies, the truth is he'll do those things anyway when he gets the chance, because he enjoys the feeling of power that comes from domination. Don't give him another chance.

  2. Like Seth said, election day used to be just the day people voted. There was no expectation they'd know the final result within that same day. Same day results weren't even possible until maybe the invention of the telegraph. And because of this there's no law mandating it.

  3. Still an awesome comment!

  5. Sandy Therry, that would be nice, but it would just accelerate the division of everything along party lines. He'd still have his friendly networks and newspapers there to praise him like he wants. And it would be letting him off the hook for all the horrible things he does afterwards, because these press conferences are the only time he ever faces anyone who's not a paid toady. I like TheTrishalyn's answer. The reporters should stay and keep grilling him with tough, uncomfortable questions. Every single time. Make his failures obvious, and he'll still keep coming back because he loves being on TV too much.

  6. That's a wonderful detail, Sarah B! But how do they pick the person who's going out the window? Do they draw straws, or is based on something else like whoever has the largest bar tab? Maybe the person with the strongest cologne or the ugliest shirt?

  7. Dumb as that sounds, it's Trump's actual thought process.

  8. Like the horse is personally at fault for using an illegal substance. "I thought you had guts, Medina Spirit. But you're just another junky!"

  9. It was really good, but not quite as good as the first time Seth did it. Tucker would never admit that something happened to him specifically. He'd just keep asking ridiculously specific questions in that snarky tone while maintaining an expression that makes it look like someone lobotomized him during the last commercial break.

  10. Congratulations on the prime time special! Hilarious (and scary) as always. Btw, I've never seen a raccoon in real life (we don't have them here), but it seems like a pretty cute infestation. Definitely better than mice and rats.

  11. That was a great joke. And Trump is the guy who thinks you need photo ID to buy breakfast cereal, so it's not even a stretch.

  12. This is hilarious! I was laughing through the whole thing. It looks like it's really hard to set up, but you pulled off the sketch perfectly.

  13. That's gonna be a quote that everyone remembers when they think about this time.

  14. Ordinary Americans are "left of center" though somehow they've been convinced that they're not. The true center should be further left than it is perceived to be. Millions of conservative Americans keep voting for people that represent beliefs far to the right of their own, but somehow they keep thinking their chosen party represents them. It's deception, and self deception of massive proportions.

  15. This "A Closer Look" is really funny. It's about serious and terrible things, but I wanted to let you know that I laughed out loud a number of times. The funniest joke (imo) is the one about how you started getting mail when you were stuck on the Brooklyn Bridge. I've never been to New York, but that one is really relatable. Oh, and I groaned at the seal Op Ed. It still worked without an audience. But it should have been written by P. Bear. Just sayin'. Also, Tom Cotton is really scary. That dude should not be in any position of authority, ever again.

  16. Creating the organizational infrastructure for mass testing and contact tracing should be an absolute federal government priority. It isn't safe to continue the lockdown indefinitely, nor is it safe to restart the economy without bringing the virus under some sort of control. Right now the situation is a lethal double-bind, so Trump's administration should be working 24/7 to get the United States out of this situation. But no, they'd rather just try to restart the economy without any precautions and let people die. All they can think of is the lowest effort solution and damn the cost that other people will have to pay.

  17. I'm no fan of Trump, but I can't help but feel that Eminem is being petty in his video (Seth Meyers is joking, which makes it different). Eminem may legitimately despise Trump, and can say so any time he likes, but trying to force his fans to copy his opinions by saying "it's him or me" is the kind of crap that Republicans like George W Bush have always pulled. It's not liberal at all, even if there probably aren't any Eminem/Trump fans to start with.

  18. Trump has the real life version of a Monkey's Paw Curse. He's wealthy, powerful and successful, but no one will ever love or respect him. And deep down he knows it.

  19. The stock market isn't the economy but it does represent more than just the interests of the elite. These days most people depend upon investments for their retirement. Recessions are only temporary, so having one now wouldn't be that bad for most people who are invested in the market, they can just wait it out. But a recession-induced drop in stock prices would absolutely hurt anyone who's retiring in 2019 or maybe 2020.

  20. Elizabeth Warren is the best person to be president after Trump. He's a force of destruction, and she's a builder. With all her policy ideas she's the one who can fix things after too many years of hypocrisy and indecision from the top.

  21. The video is funny, but I disagree with Seth Meyers and the Democrats n this issue. People grow and change. They also make mistakes when they're young. If Northam continued to believe that he did nothing wrong, or if he broke a law or hurt someone, then he should resign. But if that's not the case then he should stay on and do everything he can to be a better person now than he was then. This scandal is just another example of Republicans digging up someone's dirty laundry as a form of political assassination, and the Democrats enthusiastically enabling them.

  22. The karate picture brought it all home.

  23. Obviously it would be foolish to reopen the economy too soon, but I really hope it happens as soon as it can be safely done. The economic and social effects of this shutdown are devastating and only getting worse as it goes on. I really don't think the US economy (or any other) can survive being shut down like this for the rest of the year. We're flirting with a second great depression here. If the pro-open position was championed by someone other than Donald Trump it would be possible to have a more rational and complete public debate about tradeoffs and necessary precautions - but because he's the public face of the pro-open side it loses legitimacy and ends up looking like something that would only be done to benefit him.

  24. I'll always love the Sea Captain. As for Trump, only Baphomet knows why millions of people were waiting all their lives for an obese, diaper wearing, incompetent businessman with dementia and rage problems they could swear eternal allegiance to.

  25. It's amazing how selfish Trump is. To him it's just normal behavior and he doesn't even try to hide it. He thinks everyone acts that way.

  26. He really should've been President. Bernie is on of the few politicians who actually deserves the job.

  27. I wonder if there'd be some sort of tax exemption for people who are on Medicare, and people who are currently uninsured.

  28. Thank you for continuing to do your show! It's much appreciated.

  29. One of the novels in the stack behind Seth is "The Laughing Policeman." That's a deep cut. It's hard to believe that Seth or his family are into Swedish mystery novels from 1971, so maybe this is evidence that the books really are spontaneously breeding...

  30. Are we talking the original meaning of batman here - that is, a personal servant to a commissioned officer? Because I can see that happening. (Maybe he was an old dude who served Seth's granddad in the war. That would explain the books.) Or are we talking about the more modern and nonsensical Batman? I really hope it's the latter.

  31. Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info, Andreas Cassne. RIP, Ms. Sjöwall. :-(

  32. You know that picture from the GOP debate ( at 3:29 ) where it looks like Trump is farting and getting kicked in the balls at the same time? That should be the basis for his official Presidential portrait.

  33. When the first sketch artist actually drew the puma biting his arm... Genius! This sketch is hilarious.

  34. Whoa, this bit went from funny to incredibly disturbing.

  35. Thank you for all the laughs. It's really meant a lot to have this one place where we can relax and laugh about the absurdity of this ever changing world. Even when (maybe especially when) we're laughing at the ridiculousness of our own over-reactions to things you say. Jackals indeed.

  36. This was a great segment! I laughed a bunch of times. Sometimes bitterly ironic laughter, but still laughter... Oh, and the book jokes aren't labored. They're awesome!

  37. Seth, trust me. Up here in Canada we're looking at what's happening to the US with nothing but unmitigated horror. There's no irony or cynicism. We can't believe it's gotten so bad.

  38. I agree 100%, and you make an important point here that many people might not want to think about: the Republicans objecting to the election are trying to accomplish the same goal as the insurrectionists who stormed the House. They're just trying to do it by convincing their fellow Congressmen and Senators with words instead of holding them at gunpoint.

  39. Oh man, I can see two possible futures here. In one Trump runs for President in 2024 and it's pretty much civil war, and in the other he goes to jail and the Republicans end up fielding someone like Ted Cruz or Matt Gaetz (assuming he's not in jail either) and go down to defeat.

  40. Thank you for doing this segment! It's something that people really need to know about, because despite all that's been done so far America's small businesses are still in desperate need. Why did Trump's administration create a complex loan program that needed the involvement of banks? They could have done what other countries have successfully done in this crisis and just cut each small business a cheque. That way there's no cheating and no need for complex rules, the IRS (or whomever) could just send the money directly where it needs to go.

  41. Don't let the Republicans steal your election! Don't let them hypnotize you into thinking this is inevitable! Vote!

  42. VERY COOL!

  43. Andy Capp! You know that strip has been running since 1957? That's a long time on the dole. Trump is only taking Covid-19 seriously now because his friend Stanley Chera is a coma thanks to the virus. When it happens to someone he actually knows, THEN it becomes real to him.

  44. It's weird how Stephen Miller seems to be the only person in that family (maybe that entire community) to develop such a hatred for immigrants. It's like this is how he rebelled against his parents, and he's still rebelling at 33.

  45. Wow, the existential horror of everyday life in 2021. Maybe he should have asked what kind of dog it was?

  46. Thanks, MossyMozart. I hear it's a tremendously well paid profession. That's why Seth's writers look so rich.

  47. At least the crabs know what they're doing. Always go with someone experienced, if you go at all.

  48. You made a REALLY good point about insulin.

  49. I think they waited for it to be over the ocean so they could shoot it down and recover as much as possible.

  50. What he said makes sense. Reach out, once , and try to work with Republicans. If they say no, then stop trying to appeal to them and get on with the business that has to be done. There's only two years to fix all this stuff, then the American people get to have their say - and if nothing gets done before that time it'll become exponentially harder to get anything done in the last two years.
