Emily Rachel Gilley Well...America voted for Trump, and he didn't have any government experience. If you ask me, it's all in at this point. Perhaps the next president could a human-dog person, and people would vote for him because he represents humans and animals! And people will ignore the fact that HE'S A FUCKING DOG!!! With an average IQ of 40!
Laverne Blaszczyk They keep making it seem like the Electoral College shouldn't me spoken about and they don't share much information about this process, but what kind of people there are in the process called Electoral College is easy to find in official websites. The explanation would be pretty long, so it's better if you make a small research. It's just to write "electoral college" and there are many links about it.
Marbro De La Rossi Lol, he's picking special interest, corporatists for his cabinet already. Stop acting like he's an infallible messiah, it's pathetic.
Marbro De La Rossi Reince Priebus, who's THE CHAIR OF THE RNC is being considered Newt Ginggrich, Former Speaker and was in congress since 1979!!!! He's also been hiring lobbyists who would PRIVATIZE Obamacare
Uninformed? Yeah lets vote out the people who have our best interest, in put in some rich cock sucker whose a huge failure of a businessman and a shitty reality show tv star who talks like he does and has already gone back on his promises. You're the gullible ones! Trump played you idiots like a fucking piano. You elected him, anything he fucks up is on you.
Not if they focus on this shit every single day. As for the next four years, honestly, if the democrats do not get themselves together they will lose more seats in the house and senate 2 years from now. And if Trump does even a mediocre job they will lose in four years. Mockery is fun, pulling their heads of out their asses would be more productive. Hate didn't in Trump this election, disgust with Clinton, and the tiresome mantra of " white people are bad, men are bad, who cares about the Midwest and south they are all cretins anyway " got Trump elected.
That's actually a very good point. I think Clinton was hoping Trump's campaign would implode on its own so she never even tried to tackle him aggressively on issues, policy and his goofs and gaffes, she didn't realize people were buying his bullshit and here we are today. As Bernie Sanders said, the Dems need to become a grassroot party, they need to reconnect with the rural and backward and working class voters (and they need someone whom the non-racist whites who voted for Trump will support)
nep_ritz Not being a republican I can say I haven't seen many republicans talking about it. Independents yes, and not out of gloating but at disgust that the supposed progressive party has shoved their own heads up their behinds so that Trump could seem a better alternative. As for impeachment... gods that is funny, the republicans control the house to such a degree he would have to be caught buggering a dead woman or a little boy in public while screaming about nuking Canada before he would be impeached.
Ash Madi Well, again, you showed that you had no trouble with electing a bigot, so long as our economy got back to the way it was in the 50's. So yeah you guys won, at the cost of your own souls
The jokes are better now than they were for the last three months. Trumps Presidency is going to be one hilarious moment after another until will all die.
Exactly. And I think you can feel an unusual tension in the late night show hosts. Althought they try to crack joke at Trump s expense, it feels kind of forced and angsty.
I don't know. Hes policies will be let's allow all immigrants into the country legally and illegally. Most likely would also decrease our military (Also, let's help the world by sending military) and raise taxes with more loopholes. Just saying, I love his show, but no to running. We do not need another Hillary vs Trump. All of this is basing off watching him and what he said to senate and about taxes. As well as war.
Idiocracy is a paradise compared to what we have now. At least in that movie, dumb people >knew< they were dumb, and put smart people on a pedestal. The black president is mutually loved by all, so the nation was not divided along party lines. he even stepped down, to make way for the smartest man to be president.
Something tells me that when you become the president of the most powerful country in the world, you tend to not give af about the 4th rated late night talk show. I think he'll survive...
Stephen Colbert is nothing without being able to make fun of politicians. All he has done to make his career is to try and put words in their mouths to make jokes. What this does is interfere's with business and international policy. They are just clowns trying to say their opinion is more important than elected officials. Basically a lot of the comedians, press, and talk show hosts today are bugs sucking the blood out of America. They laughed and said no way he would be elected, then he did. Now they are still talking and trying to bring down America and make it a socialist republic. Remember 2008 too big to fail, or any of the other wall street socialistic moves where the government took the wealth of the people to survive. That is socialism. Wake up people.
Hey Luke, didn't I see you on his video 5 years ago with your lips on his junk because you still thought he was a conservative? I could swear it was you. I remember when the right thought he was the answer to thier comedic prayers. The conservative comic darling. Hahaa He did the same thing to you that Trump is about to. Don't worry, tiny hands... You know what they say about that. You won't feel a thing even with that stingy power pucker of yours.
American press just spent a year and a half either lying to the people about what's going on in their country, or being clueless about it. I wouldn't feel compelled to defend their rights (privileges) right now.
today in how to end a democracy by populism and lies, step 24: exclude the press and freedom of information by calling them liars and enemy of the emperor
UndeadSon I think you don't understand what freedom of the press means. who is holding alex jones accountable? or the lies on facebook that got trump elected? or do you want alex jones to be press minister and hold the new york times accountable by his standards? strange concept of free press
"who is holding alex jones accountable? or the lies on facebook that got trump elected?" Mainstream media? Reports about false news circling Facebook has been quite a big story the last few days.
UndeadSon yes after the election. great. but what has that to do with accountability? accountability means there is a higher power like a press council or a government committee and they can hold the media accountable, meaning they can demand sources and investigate and then judge on punishments like an official statement that corrects false news e.g. next days front page or correction statement during a show. do you want trump to judge the investigative journalism (into trumps doings) of the post or times? then good bye free press and hello to erdogans turkey or putins russia because trump is not a rational actor who understands the virtue or separating power. that's what he meant with saying he will open up those liable laws so he can sue the press.
I can see it now, Barack Obama taken before his time, Bernie Sanders having to sacrifice his daughter by burning her alive to make it through the winter, costing him his supporters, and Sarah Palin blowing up the capitol building with wildfire, allowing her to become president.
No...Not our president. Our President is Barack Obama. He[Trump] is only the president elect. With the actions he has been taking, I could see him being removed from office before he is even inaugurated. No one likes him.
+jainil patel Yes, fortunately America still has freedom of speech, so we can *openly* make fun of anyone in power (and we always have). Unlike some countries where doing the same would get you killed.
I'm a big fan of Colbert, but if I'm reading between the lines correctly in his standup it looks like he's moved on from an incredulous despair to a sort of bitter animosity (suddenly all the outright cursing, and that sardonic "clapping for catastrophe" to the crowd felt a bit snappy). I understand his anger and disappointment with this entire election debacle, it really is depressing and in some ways maddening, but I hope it doesn't seduce him into hate. Here's a reassuring poem from Tolkien, "All Woods Must Fail": O! Wanderers in the shadowed land Despair not! For though dark they stand, All woods there be must end at last, And see the open sun go past: The setting sun, the rising sun, The day's end, or the day begun. For east or west all woods must fail.
Claystead It's a song sung by Frodo to encourage his companions at the beginning of their journey when they depart the Shire and trek through the ominous Old Forest in order to throw the Black Riders off their trail.
Claystead Yes, right before they meet their first trial with Old Man Willow and were rescued by the strange, magical, charming Tom Bombadil (though, I don't quite recall any nude scenes as you suggest, having read the book).
Claystead Ah that's it, yes the Barrow-wight stole their garments and clothed them in ancient raiments, and after Tom saved them he encouraged them to cast the Barrow-wight clothes off and run about on the sunny hillsides to reinvigorate themselves from the icy death they had narrowly escaped, while he tracked down their ponies and luggage.
SZF123456 I don't have any political standing myself either (I'm neither liberal nor conservative and have voted for candidates from both parties, as I think neither truth nor good public policy are exclusive to any ideology or absolute to all circumstances), but even I found this election very disheartening and dispiriting. And I think Colbert's cursing was definitely unscripted, likely provoked by some strong emotions following this painful election.
it's a shame normally people would be happy living in a building with the president's name on it. in some cases even raise the price of the building making it more prestigious .Trump is really a messy guy.
Can you point me to your statements telling conservative media to lay off Obama. Please link me to your completely non hypocritical stance towards the office of the president. I'll accept comments to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or other conservative media members. You understand that calling out the lies and bigotry of your leaders is a Morally justifiable position. If you don't scrutinize your leaders you are just as guilty as them for their racism and bigotry. Just because we have a racist president doesn't mean we should all embrace racism. It is his moral obligation to not let this go. Turning a blind eye to Trump's future attempts to undermine our democracy would be un-American.
Conservative media never depicted Obama as an absurd cartoon, but they didn't seem to have any trouble taking a shit on him--to use a completely random example, there was the birth certificate nonsense...
strawman argument, the subject is horrific cabinet and transition team placement and other host of un presidential behaviors. Tans and hair and the rest are mere props and backdrop to the concerns at hand.
***** "Reporting" no, colbert hasn't been a reporter for ages. He's a bias political pundit with an agenda. He's decently clever and witty, but he doesn't always hit home, and he always has a bias.
beardedartisan Sorry but you can't hide behind the comedian label when all you do is make political commentary in as bias a way as he has been for the past 4 years
Everyone is biased. Colbert just doesn't bother with the pretense of impartiality. And no matter how much we'd like that to change, it never will, because bias has always been and always will be a part of being human.
Oh man I really hope trump doesn't turn being president into a reality tv show.....and he's turning it into a reality tv show. Can he just get removed already?
I'd rather have a president who trolls on Twitter for his entertainment than one who spends his time playing golf. At least the former is fun to watch.
Love Stephen, but they really need to start muting the musician's mic. Because he adds nothing to Stephen's monologues, other than his distracting laughs.
There's avoiding-being opaque and not answering questions which, while shitty, at least has some dignity. Then there's and literally running away without telling anyone including his staff. . It's embarrassing.
funny anagrams and mimicking his voice when reading his tweets.. showing really how desperate the media is to mock him even more. he doesnt want the press around him for this exact reason. you should have made better coverage before election.
Dash Medina the same one for weeks now and for the next 4 years.. i would love to get to standard late night again with a bit more diversity. also there is no context in the action trump did and he somehow managed to get 7 minutes out of it..
Francisco Santos if trump actually stop doing stupid stuff 24/7 the media would dry out of him. But he dosent. He keeps giving free material for every late night show.
Mr. Cowboy, you have just given us the most brilliant and hilarious, yet with sarcasm and humor, comment on this Trump catastrohe. Nice to have a wise guy like you in this fucked up world. 感謝、感涙ーmany thanks,tears flooding❣️
A nation who blindly and pridefully supports their leader is a nation of blind fools. Personally I'm glad there is so much Trump resistance, because if there wasn't, we would be in German Nazi party 2.0 territory right now. And if you don't believe me, go take a look at just how staggering the Nazi party took over German politics. Go on, I'll wait.
U can support your country and not the figure. The president isn't all powerful and doesn't make all decisions as many believe. He's in control of somethings but not all things. He's the leading head figure
When I look at the comments there is an abvious amount of hurt but also an enourmous amount of vitriol aimed at other Americans. For all you people who revere MLK and Ghandi is that how they brought about change? Or is that what they were trying to expose to stop the hate and fighting? If you're hurt and scared be hurt and scared! Transmitting that pain into aggression will keep fueling intolerance for those not like you. You want to grow in maturity? Transform that pain into some sort of compassion that will make it easier to talk with those whom you might not agree. Its possible. But it really depends on whether "being right" is more important to you than being caring.
Both died being shot by right wing lunatics. Not very good role models. I would rather shot the right wing lunatics. Liberals should buy guns and ammo and be ready for the worst.
MLK and Ghandi brought about change through concerted acts of civil disobedience which included the very agitation you're criticising here. Do you understand what their aims were and how they went about achieving them?
Lets be real here, based on the tweets under discussion, the problem isn't that he's tweeting. It's that he's communicating to the public via a means that negatively impacts the media's revenue stream.
Trump claims Indiana born Justice Curiel is incapable of doing his job based on his ethicity; quote him verbatim - "he's a Mexican" = Trump is not a racist. Claiming someone is unfit to do their job simply based off their racial lineage is not racism; who knew. Reads conspiracy bullshit articles off facebook and right wing sites = Hillary is corrupt and all other media that doesn't agree with their hilarious stupidity is brushed off as biased media. Gotta love the simple mind of the Trump supporter. To them, everyone else is either delusional or stupid, while their dinner table, college dropout ideas about politics make the most sense. "What evidence do you have that Hillary is corrupt?" _"Wow you are a delusional libtard just do a little research on the body count"_ "What body count? There's no evidence to support any of that" _"Go google it, biased media chooses not to report it"_ "There are zero independent credible news sources that support that, can you be a little more specific?" _"Whatever libtard I'm not your teacher go do your own research keep supporting corruption facism progressiveness feminism political correctness bla bla bla"_ Oh, and this typical conversation applies to "go read Wikileaks", various donations to the Clinton foundation, and the unsubstantiated pay-for-play allegations.
***** Bush was a Republican, and he left office in 2008. Democrats only had the office between 2008 and 2012, but the Republicans had the House Majority. And please stop with that "killary" nonsense. Hillary is not a killer. And what do you mean by screwing America over? Obama's administration saw a rise in employment rates, and a drop in crime rates. The economy is shit, but much better than when it was in the hands of Bush, a Republican.
It's just like Game of Thrones except Trump doesn't have an Emmy.
should've got that
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
KingOfMadCows he has 2
*slam* and *dunk*
Colbert would be proud of this
What will happen when he finds out that there's a NEW Mexico?
MrFireCowboy build a giant wall around it and make New Mexico pay for it
MonkeyLuv127 More like a giant fence
MrFireCowboy dr unitive o
-"WHAT?! NEW MEXICO?! Sneaky Mexicans extending Mexico to the other side of the wall! Wall around New Mexico!"
-"But Mr. President, New Mexico is a US sta-
-"WALL I SAID"
-"Sigh, fine, wall it is"
Eeeexcellent Simpsons reference.
anyone else think Stephen Colbert should run for president in 2020?
I highly doubt he'd want that
John Gaspar-Francisco Can we please go back to voting people in with actual government experience instead of TV entertainers
Emily Rachel Gilley well atleast Mr. Colbert knows his politics...
Emily Rachel Gilley Well...America voted for Trump, and he didn't have any government experience.
If you ask me, it's all in at this point.
Perhaps the next president could a human-dog person, and people would vote for him because he represents humans and animals!
And people will ignore the fact that HE'S A FUCKING DOG!!! With an average IQ of 40!
John Gaspar-Francisco hell no
Americans what have you done?
It was the Electoral College who picked him, a small group of people no one really cares about. Hillary had the popular vote.
Laid the first bricks in the wall. The rest will arrive a little after January 20. Inshkek!
BehindtheWall lol, I'm turning 13 January 20th
TheFreshestPrince Do you think Yoshi gets embarrassed when he poos out eggs in front of Mario?
Laverne Blaszczyk
They keep making it seem like the Electoral College shouldn't me spoken about and they don't share much information about this process, but what kind of people there are in the process called Electoral College is easy to find in official websites. The explanation would be pretty long, so it's better if you make a small research. It's just to write "electoral college" and there are many links about it.
Donald Trump thinks picking his cabinet is like the Apprentice. This is your new president.
Marbro De La Rossi worse actually, brought the "swamp" in that he said he'd clear out.
Marbro De La Rossi Lol, he's picking special interest, corporatists for his cabinet already. Stop acting like he's an infallible messiah, it's pathetic.
Marbro De La Rossi
Reince Priebus, who's THE CHAIR OF THE RNC is being considered
Newt Ginggrich, Former Speaker and was in congress since 1979!!!!
He's also been hiring lobbyists who would PRIVATIZE Obamacare
Marbro De La Rossi Yeah, cons get their "totally researched" and "unbiased" talking points from limbaugh, alex jones, and facebook memes..
All those people were considered by christie now he is out and they are being replaced. Stop being an idiot.
Stephen Colbert you are awesome. Like if you agree.
Comment if you disagree ?
Guys a fucking creep !!
He is awesome...I think we are going to need him the next 4 years.
I'm pretty sure the gullible idiots are the ones that voted for Trump.
You could have had Ron Paul. You could have had Rand Paul. You could have had Bernie Sanders. Now you have what you deserve.
#FeelTheBern2020
Sellout wont be alive. #FeelTheFuneral2020
But still it's worth fighting for freedom and fighting against hate every day.
Unfortunately I lost respect for Rand because of the mental gymnastics it took him to support Trump
Uninformed? Yeah lets vote out the people who have our best interest, in put in some rich cock sucker whose a huge failure of a businessman and a shitty reality show tv star who talks like he does and has already gone back on his promises. You're the gullible ones! Trump played you idiots like a fucking piano. You elected him, anything he fucks up is on you.
Comedians are going to have a free ride for the next four (or less) years.
Not if they focus on this shit every single day. As for the next four years, honestly, if the democrats do not get themselves together they will lose more seats in the house and senate 2 years from now. And if Trump does even a mediocre job they will lose in four years. Mockery is fun, pulling their heads of out their asses would be more productive.

Backfromthedeadguy republicans are already talking about reelection while democrats want him impeached lol so we'll see how long he will be president
That's actually a very good point.

I feel like only now Conservatives are starting to realize how badly they screwed up. That or they're still in denial
Or they just moved on like you should.
Ben Wasserman
The Right won big league with the people. We can tell the left to bite it as they don't speak for America.
Dev S Well you clearly don't speak for minority groups either...
Dev S...... I'llspeak for myself, you have a moron speak for you, ok?
Ash Madi Well, again, you showed that you had no trouble with electing a bigot, so long as our economy got back to the way it was in the 50's. So yeah you guys won, at the cost of your own souls
President Trump is a comedy goldmine.
Of only Dave Chappelle still had his own show
The jokes are better now than they were for the last three months. Trumps Presidency is going to be one hilarious moment after another until will all die.
Exactly. And I think you can feel an unusual tension in the late night show hosts. Althought they try to crack joke at Trump s expense, it feels kind of forced and angsty.
It is funny because you'll see all the faces of those who were wrong about Trump
Howling Din for now..we'll see where it ends up
Can Colbert be our President please? Get some change for good in Politics.
Hell no.
Hell yeah!
Robert Norton if Trump can be president, so can Colbert
our
I don't know. Hes policies will be let's allow all immigrants into the country legally and illegally. Most likely would also decrease our military (Also, let's help the world by sending military) and raise taxes with more loopholes. Just saying, I love his show, but no to running. We do not need another Hillary vs Trump. All of this is basing off watching him and what he said to senate and about taxes. As well as war.
I believe the proper grammar would be Attorney-lying-General Ted Cruz.
Tal Moore Never shut up stupid
"You guys misunderstood me, I've been saying LION ted Cruz all along..."
James Lourenco Classy.
Tal Moore No, it is Sen Jeff Sessions.
With the Trump Presidency are we watching "IDIOCRACY II"
The instant we replace water with Brawndo I'm bugging out of here. After I get all my electrolytes, that is.
You have to admit this is a huge step towards President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, though. Like a really huge step.
kparc Parc nope. We're living in it
Have you not seen the movie?
Idiocracy is a paradise compared to what we have now.
At least in that movie, dumb people >knew< they were dumb, and put smart people on a pedestal. The black president is mutually loved by all, so the nation was not divided along party lines. he even stepped down, to make way for the smartest man to be president.
Colbert's killin' it as always. Never stop fighting the war on bullshit, Stephen.
Something tells me DJT will never be invited to this show again...
Something tells me that when you become the president of the most powerful country in the world, you tend to not give af about the 4th rated late night talk show. I think he'll survive...
Stephen Colbert is nothing without being able to make fun of politicians. All he has done to make his career is to try and put words in their mouths to make jokes.

Remember 2008 too big to fail, or any of the other wall street socialistic moves where the government took the wealth of the people to survive. That is socialism. Wake up people.
Obviously, you do. Just covering his flank?
Probably the inverse: he will be invited, but he will never respond.
Hey Luke, didn't I see you on his video 5 years ago with your lips on his junk because you still thought he was a conservative? I could swear it was you.

ny really hates trump.
Marcus S tar Yep! 👍
We hate him, even though Trump is from NY too
The two things NY hates: other New Yorkers, and tourists.
Gardow True
A majority of the US hates Trump, too.
Well New yorkers , specially Manhattan, have been dealing with Trump for more than 40 years, you'd hate him too.
If only people died like in Game of Thrones, that would make politics WAY more interesting.
MARC BMAN
Yes! Round up the commies.
I can see it now, Barack Obama taken before his time, Bernie Sanders having to sacrifice his daughter by burning her alive to make it through the winter, costing him his supporters, and Sarah Palin blowing up the capitol building with wildfire, allowing her to become president.
Taxrenn, Donnie is the uncle looking to kill his niece and nephew so he can take over the lands with his MASSIVE fleet.
It's a great navy. The best navy. It's yuge.
They do. Just look at all of the people who conventiently died around the Clinton cartel.
Trump is gonna tweet instead of holding a speech lmao
Hauke tom Dieck it makes sense. He can fit the entirety of his knowledge about any policy in 140 characters.
State of the Union Tweet.
not really
The press are sharks. He's playing it extremely smart. The man knows what he's doing.
Much more entertaining.when he has to make a speech from now on , maybe he can just tweet it .
This is the only relief and only positive thing about Trump being in the position he's in! Stephen's joke's 😀😁😂
But I still miss Dave😓
HUNRUSPWNZ Stephen's silly🙄
lolol
Colbert is a shining light right now. Trump, not so much.
Trump is treating this like a frigging reality TV show. It's terrifying.
Yes nothing changed...
Americans are openly making fun of their own president.😂😂 Please keep going.we are all enjoying so much.😹😹
jainil patel Donald Trump is not president, Barack Obama is POTUS
No...Not our president. Our President is Barack Obama. He[Trump] is only the president elect. With the actions he has been taking, I could see him being removed from office before he is even inaugurated. No one likes him.
+jainil patel Yes, fortunately America still has freedom of speech, so we can *openly* make fun of anyone in power (and we always have). Unlike some countries where doing the same would get you killed.
Comic relief is so much fun.
half of the country likes him...
Why the hell does his son-in-law have that kind of power? What the hell is this, a monarchy?
instaBlaster...
Those workers taking off the name look very happy.
Who’s watching 4 years later and was a bit shook at 0:30 😆 almost happened man
How long is Colbert going to milk this election issue?
4 more years.
8 more years*
In 4 years he's going to be like "ya, in the end, Trump was the best President the US's ever had"
Its going to get pretty old after a month or so.
bbrock RailFan milking it. Obama is on vacation.
Haha, Colbert's always been my favorite.
"Won bigger and more easily" lol that's not English nice try tho
Tan Trump is still a dumb fuck.
Hello pot, meet kettle.
American Child I will from a pretty girl thanks for letting me know!!!
"Won bigger and more easily.." Which of those words is not English? Where are the errors in syntax?
It should be "won more bigly".
More like Stephen Butthurt, totally.
Julio Agosto you were just jealous and still watching it
How the fuck is he Jealous??? You fucking toddler.
because his ass was fucked by Trump that it is now sore red.
Come back Obama!😩 this feels like a parent leaving the house and left the kids with a stranger!
Colbert's on fire tonight.
So much for draining the swamp.
A pair of chattering teeth glued to a whoopie cushion...Oh my god, I love the descriptions.
I wonder if Presidents can quit? Who the fuck would honestly want that job anyway?
OMGKITTENMEWMEW1 Nixon
Prakhar Tiwari He didn't really quit, as much as he was impeached. Or is that the same thing? Forced resignation?
OMGKITTENMEWMEW1 he resigned before he could be impeached. he literally quitted being president.
Fair enough. Yeah, I guess leaders do step down on occasion. I wonder if Trump will because he hates his job.
He resigned before he could be impeached
I'm a big fan of Colbert, but if I'm reading between the lines correctly in his standup it looks like he's moved on from an incredulous despair to a sort of bitter animosity (suddenly all the outright cursing, and that sardonic "clapping for catastrophe" to the crowd felt a bit snappy).

Here's a reassuring poem from Tolkien, "All Woods Must Fail":
O! Wanderers in the shadowed land
Despair not! For though dark they stand,
All woods there be must end at last,
And see the open sun go past:
The setting sun, the rising sun,
The day's end, or the day begun.
For east or west all woods must fail.
Claystead It's a song sung by Frodo to encourage his companions at the beginning of their journey when they depart the Shire and trek through the ominous Old Forest in order to throw the Black Riders off their trail.
Claystead Yes, right before they meet their first trial with Old Man Willow and were rescued by the strange, magical, charming Tom Bombadil (though, I don't quite recall any nude scenes as you suggest, having read the book).
Wasn't there an interview a while ago where Colbert admitted he has no political standing and just says what his writers tell him to?
Claystead Ah that's it, yes the Barrow-wight stole their garments and clothed them in ancient raiments, and after Tom saved them he encouraged them to cast the Barrow-wight clothes off and run about on the sunny hillsides to reinvigorate themselves from the icy death they had narrowly escaped, while he tracked down their ponies and luggage.
SZF123456 I don't have any political standing myself either (I'm neither liberal nor conservative and have voted for candidates from both parties, as I think neither truth nor good public policy are exclusive to any ideology or absolute to all circumstances), but even I found this election very disheartening and dispiriting. And I think Colbert's cursing was definitely unscripted, likely provoked by some strong emotions following this painful election.
it's a shame normally people would be happy living in a building with the president's name on it. in some cases even raise the price of the building making it more prestigious .Trump is really a messy guy.
let it go Steven you lost,trump is your president now
Can you point me to your statements telling conservative media to lay off Obama. Please link me to your completely non hypocritical stance towards the office of the president. I'll accept comments to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or other conservative media members.
You understand that calling out the lies and bigotry of your leaders is a Morally justifiable position. If you don't scrutinize your leaders you are just as guilty as them for their racism and bigotry.
Just because we have a racist president doesn't mean we should all embrace racism. It is his moral obligation to not let this go. Turning a blind eye to Trump's future attempts to undermine our democracy would be un-American.
Conservative media never depicted Obama as an absurd cartoon, but they didn't seem to have any trouble taking a shit on him--to use a completely random example, there was the birth certificate nonsense...
strawman argument, the subject is horrific cabinet and transition team placement and other host of un presidential behaviors. Tans and hair and the rest are mere props and backdrop to the concerns at hand.
Sunyata no it's pathetic losers who can't let it go
tasteful like trump steaks
"Seeing what Washington will look like in 4 years"
It's 2020 and that's not far off.
Remember a few years back people made fun of the idea of "the terminator" as president. Now they voted a clown into office themself.. The irony.
Can I just say for the record I love New Yorkers?
Keshav Khanna Thanks!
And the rest of Americans Hate New Yorkers.
Succeed!
New Yorkers tell it like it is. I respect that.
Michael P And why do you say that?
Jay Rod Well... you can't really generalize all NY. Some don't always "tell it like it is".
What do I know I'm just a 15 y/o in Queens
Did you know that cheer, lough, clap, is fake?
Its Abie Art did you not know that? Sitcoms have been using laugh tracks for years.
Fiend for Memes no shit right...
Its Abie Art spell check...it's Laugh not lough.
Beth Sch thanks Satan.
Trump will provide great materials for the next 4 years, golden age of late night!
Does colbert remember he's a talk show host?
*****
"Reporting" no, colbert hasn't been a reporter for ages.
He's a bias political pundit with an agenda.
He's decently clever and witty, but he doesn't always hit home, and he always has a bias.
He was never a reporter, though. He was always a comedian; no more, no less.
beardedartisan
Sorry but you can't hide behind the comedian label when all you do is make political commentary in as bias a way as he has been for the past 4 years
Everyone is biased. Colbert just doesn't bother with the pretense of impartiality. And no matter how much we'd like that to change, it never will, because bias has always been and always will be a part of being human.
Dagda Mor
Without announcing that bias, and by hiding behind the vial of "oh I'm just a comedian" he influences 100s of thousands of voters.
One word: Impeachment!
By the way: Did I already mention that you, Stephen Colbert, are the best?
Oh man I really hope trump doesn't turn being president into a reality tv show.....and he's turning it into a reality tv show. Can he just get removed already?
One of Stephens writers must really like anagrams.
StarCrusher Washington=Gnaw on shit!
the CNN news person laughing about "relaxing" crack me up 😁
Stephen has been better since the election
Stephen has some of world's biggest balls.
Why does the media act like tweeting is such a such a strenuous activity? It literally takes less than 30 seconds.
Guys, I know that we all wanted change.
But electing an orangutan to be Commander-In-Chief doesn't help.
Stephen's savagery is on a whole new level recently 😂😂😂
I love when Jean Baptiste says "Cold Blooded," after Stephen makes a cutting joke! They crack me up!
*ONE THING'S FOR SURE. TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY WILL USHER IN A NEW GOLDEN AGE OF LATE NIGHT COMEDY.*
Here we go the mainstream media will bash Trump for the next four years.
Colbert... I'm laughing at you...😂😂😂While, you swallow your tears 😭😭😭
imagine how awkward it would be when nba teams come to visit the white house
Stephen for president! :)
That REctal Pump line was so quickly gone over but was amazingly savage
Cute - the Trump trolls in the comment section.
Brace for impact, poor fools: His Presidency is ultimately gonna backfire on you. One word: Karma.
We have a child as president. Sad!
I'd rather have a president who trolls on Twitter for his entertainment than one who spends his time playing golf. At least the former is fun to watch.
"President - elect"
hopefully soon "President - eject"
#CabinetOfDeplorables
lol Colbert is almost crying through his comedy awwww :D
towards the end of the election I was excited for the end of nonsense from trump's Twitter. It's been two years of this and now FUCK
Love Stephen, but they really need to start muting the musician's mic. Because he adds nothing to Stephen's monologues, other than his distracting laughs.
I live in Kentucky and I have been very inspired by his tweets about our factories.
Wow another Trump piece, very original good job
To be fair, Trump spent way less money campaigning and still won.
Credits to him.
Thea Mjolnir Yeah, he's pretty good with other people's money.
anschluss He used my money well ;) and now he's the president. Thank goodness it's not Hillary.
Blake Kosmowski thanks goodness
you aren't an american asswipe, go fuck yourself
Thea Mjolnir. are you unaware what superpacs are ?
MO (Insert Laughing Emoji here)
I wish Stephen was my uncle
Wireline I wish he was my Yoda. 😂
Can you really blame him for avoiding the press with the way they've been covering him?
There's avoiding-being opaque and not answering questions which, while shitty, at least has some dignity. Then there's and literally running away without telling anyone including his staff. . It's embarrassing.
indiciaobscure It's embarrassing that press had a temper tantrum about it, what a bunch of crybabies
I am from Brazil , I leave here NY city , I love this show ,you are the best.
5:40! I'm german and scared!
I am disappointed in Colbert, Jon Stewart should've been late show host!
He retired, didn't want it.
Go back into your cave you failed your allegory.
"I read Plato in middle school guys, that means I'm witter than you!" t. GmmacMusic
He always kills it perfectly!!!!!
I remember when talk show hosts were unbiased.... Ahhhhh. Good times.
there's only one president
Hail supreme leader Trump.
So awesome Colbert is a bad ass man!!!!!!! he is always right on point
funny anagrams and mimicking his voice when reading his tweets.. showing really how desperate the media is to mock him even more. he doesnt want the press around him for this exact reason. you should have made better coverage before election.
Francisco Santos a comedian mocking someone in the public eye? how shameful
Dash Medina
the same one for weeks now and for the next 4 years.. i would love to get to standard late night again with a bit more diversity. also there is no context in the action trump did and he somehow managed to get 7 minutes out of it..
Francisco Santos if trump actually stop doing stupid stuff 24/7 the media would dry out of him. But he dosent. He keeps giving free material for every late night show.
Did he trigger you when he made fun of the god-emperor? Sounds like you need a safe space
thusspokebrandon
no... here in germany we dont this part of liberal retardness
Keep crying Colbert, it's still entertaining to see you pout and moan that Hillary didn't win.
Mr. Cowboy, you have just given us the most brilliant and hilarious, yet with sarcasm and humor, comment on this Trump catastrohe. Nice to have a wise guy like you in this fucked up world. 感謝、感涙ーmany thanks,tears flooding❣️
why does this man have no respect for his elected leader? I do not live in U.S. but this man seems have no pride. support your nation I say
Lesniewicz96 you can support your nation and not the leader.
A nation who blindly and pridefully supports their leader is a nation of blind fools. Personally I'm glad there is so much Trump resistance, because if there wasn't, we would be in German Nazi party 2.0 territory right now. And if you don't believe me, go take a look at just how staggering the Nazi party took over German politics. Go on, I'll wait.
U can support your country and not the figure. The president isn't all powerful and doesn't make all decisions as many believe. He's in control of somethings but not all things. He's the leading head figure
Lesniewicz96 You DO know who Trump is right? He's walking, talking comedic gold
Tell that to the people of North Korea
Glad we still have Colbert to take us through the next 4-8 years.
When I look at the comments there is an abvious amount of hurt but also an enourmous amount of vitriol aimed at other Americans. For all you people who revere MLK and Ghandi is that how they brought about change? Or is that what they were trying to expose to stop the hate and fighting?
If you're hurt and scared be hurt and scared! Transmitting that pain into aggression will keep fueling intolerance for those not like you. You want to grow in maturity? Transform that pain into some sort of compassion that will make it easier to talk with those whom you might not agree. Its possible. But it really depends on whether "being right" is more important to you than being caring.
Both died being shot by right wing lunatics. Not very good role models. I would rather shot the right wing lunatics.
Liberals should buy guns and ammo and be ready for the worst.
pcuimac Who provides the inspiration-the people who cared or the people who killed? You have a choice.
MLK and Ghandi brought about change through concerted acts of civil disobedience which included the very agitation you're criticising here. Do you understand what their aims were and how they went about achieving them?
Thank you for being the voice of reason and compassion in this comment section 351
You must be the edgy one in high school
America needs Stephen Colbert.
Lets be real here, based on the tweets under discussion, the problem isn't that he's tweeting. It's that he's communicating to the public via a means that negatively impacts the media's revenue stream.
Love you, Stephen
Wow, and I thought 2016 was a bad year, just wait til 2017, 18,19 and 20.
Protective press pool? Are you fucking kidding me?
Trump claims Indiana born Justice Curiel is incapable of doing his job based on his ethicity; quote him verbatim - "he's a Mexican" = Trump is not a racist. Claiming someone is unfit to do their job simply based off their racial lineage is not racism; who knew.
Reads conspiracy bullshit articles off facebook and right wing sites = Hillary is corrupt and all other media that doesn't agree with their hilarious stupidity is brushed off as biased media.
Gotta love the simple mind of the Trump supporter. To them, everyone else is either delusional or stupid, while their dinner table, college dropout ideas about politics make the most sense.
"What evidence do you have that Hillary is corrupt?"
_"Wow you are a delusional libtard just do a little research on the body count"_
"What body count? There's no evidence to support any of that"
_"Go google it, biased media chooses not to report it"_
"There are zero independent credible news sources that support that, can you be a little more specific?"
_"Whatever libtard I'm not your teacher go do your own research keep supporting corruption facism progressiveness feminism political correctness bla bla bla"_
Oh, and this typical conversation applies to "go read Wikileaks", various donations to the Clinton foundation, and the unsubstantiated pay-for-play allegations.
***** You do realise that's a stunningly poor example yes? Muslims overwhelmingly voted against Trump.
***** Bush was a Republican, and he left office in 2008. Democrats only had the office between 2008 and 2012, but the Republicans had the House Majority.
And please stop with that "killary" nonsense. Hillary is not a killer.
And what do you mean by screwing America over? Obama's administration saw a rise in employment rates, and a drop in crime rates. The economy is shit, but much better than when it was in the hands of Bush, a Republican.
God bless you MK
Mexican is not a "race", it's a nationality.
I'm saving this video. This is gold
Thanks Stephen! Your videos are great!
“It’s not his entertainment, it’s his way of getting round the press”. Absolutely right, you nailed it, Mr. Colbert. Can’t say you didn’t try.
I'm getting kind of sick of how one sided Colbert's politics are, but he is still funny so I'm still watching.
And it doesn't matter if it's comedy central, lying is lying.
Quoting Huffington Post is a joke in and of itself.
How dare Trump have dinner without a bunch of stalkers!
colbert, thanks for helping keep us sane in an increasingly insane time
