Still, his departure is admirable. This is a man who could have had anything. He could still be on Comedy Central every night. He probably could’ve moved to HBO for a weekly show, or cashed out on Netflix. CNN would surely have hosted his talking head a few times a week. Any publication would welcome regular op-eds under his byline. He could sell out arena after arena on a national stand-up tour. He could command an army of social media followers. But he doesn’t. He graces our lives only in moments of dire need, every 10 months or so, tackling a problem surely all Americans can stand behind yet which still goes unaddressed.
Jon Stewart just reminded us how outrage is supposed to work

It's time to reject the accepted narrative that only conservatives respect and appreciate police, firefighters, military, etc. I think it's apparent that much of what we've seen is merely a superficial uniform fetish and worship of authority, as opposed to actually empathizing and providing support for people who risk their lives for others.

I felt and feel his anger. It's the same anger we all have right now for Congress and our government as a whole.
