JCTiggs The Normandy invasion is what beat the Nazis. Soviet loses were catastrophic and if the Nazis were able to bring in the armor and air power they used against the allies the Soviets would have been forced to surrender EVERYTHING but Moscow. Effectively losing the war in Russia.
William Cortelyou It was the stretching of German resources across multiple fronts at the same time that beat Nazi Germany. It wasn't only the Nomandy invasion.
George Walser So in your fantasy world the Allies should have fought the Nazi's with water guns and paper airplanes. Did you happen to buy a Tiki Torch recently?
So if he verbally said Nazis and antifa, instead of saying both sides, then its ok? Seriously how is denouncing both groups simultaneously constitute being pro nazi?
I've lived in the great state of Virginia all my life including Charlottesville. I've never been so outraged with a response from a president as I've been with this debacle. To reiterate what Stephen said last night Nazi's are bad, there is no room in this country for that level of racist hate. I commend the heroes that stood up against the alt right rally, we all need to band together and stand up to this racist blight that's festering in our country. Heal well Charlottesville #CharlottesvilleStrong.

I'm a foreigner who used to respect America's effort toward a land of freedom and equality among all man kind. Now I'm just confused. This is turning into some doomsday movie, entertaining to some extend, but it's reaching a point where it isn't even funny anymore.
America has been trying to hide its ugly side for centuries, the world is now aware of what has been going on because of internet access. America had a very ugly side, no matter what they say, what you see is the true face of America. The devil walks the street of this country.
Awoof , If you take a philosophy class, it is rather funny how freedom is such an ambiguous term. Some philosophers that are the stepping stones of american philosophy do mention anarchy and the "rule of nature" but also being a fine line in some scenarios.
Annie parker Unless you are using the slang term, in which 'flying' means roughly the same as 'getting high' and 'elephants' means the damned orangutan in the house...
what do you expect, these idiots voted for Trump, you expect a genius scientist as the president? He is a laughing stock of the world. He's old, and he's destroying his legacy piece by piece. What an idiot.
Mike Klaus most of us didn't vote for him. This is the second time in 16 years that our antiquated electoral college has fucked over the majority voters. We need to abolish the dumb system, but unfortunately that's a long, difficult process because it would be an amendment to the Constitution. And I don't think we'll have enough Republicans on board because it's been benefiting them too much
By defending them so heavily, he's essentially blaming the people who got run over and beat up. WTF is wrong with this man?! Even if they didn't have a permit to congregate, you cannot think running them over was somehow justified!
tmWasted Bullshit. He couldn't wait to defend his KKK buddies, and acted like the victim's mother condoned it, when he hasn't even reached out to the family.
Even if they'd not had a permit though, so what? I reckon some of these people watched Saving Private Ryan like "yea, but they're the ones who illegally landed on the beach"
The idiot in office right now lost the popular vote by 3 million. So no, not all Americans support this guy or even think remotely the way he does. I just can't believe we have to go through 3 1/2 more years of this.
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant" - Martin Luther King Jr.
"Okay" and legal are two different terms. If you intend to censor any speech, including hate speech, using the state or coercion then you're closer to a facsist than a liberal.
I'd pick Nazism over Communism, personally. But why the HELL do these leftist kooks make that the option? Ideally, wouldn't "Neither" be the American way?
G. Washington has a city named after him yet he was a slave owner. It's a liberal hub as far as I know and no one has any problem with it. When people protested against the take down of Robert E Lee statue the radical left/antifa brought clubs to attack them, the police was told to stay away. There were many beatings reported, the Antifa thugs were all masked and it will be impossible to hold them accountable. Historical revisionism is wrong especially when there are double standards involved. But since Colbert's piece on pizzagate I know he's just pushing his agenda, facts mean very little to him.
People aren't taking down statues of slave owners. They were taking down a statue of a separatist general who militarily supported the dismantling of the United States. The city had voted on it after several years of debate. Then these conservative/right wing groups poured in from other regions to protest.
Yeah it couldn't have been about slavery, because Rober E. Lee was against slavery and supported the abolition. That's why you have every right to protest, because there's nothing morally wrong in respecting 19th century war heros that just supported the losing side. And you should not beat people up for this.
I don't think Robert E. Lee was a bad guy, but he did fight against his country. Why have a statue of him? He didn't just support the losing side. He supported the side that rebelled against the United States. I'm pretty sure we don't have any statues commemorating British generals from the Revolution, and I bet the UK doesn't have any statues commemorating George Washington. And some of those groups that came to protest taking down the statue were also looking for a fight and shouting "Jews will not replace us!" The portion of the protest concerning the statue was quickly followed by the Unite the Right rally, which had nothing to do with the statue itself.
If these symbols represent a time we no longer live in they belong in a museum. Museums are made for exactly this kind of thing. They are a places for people to reflect and learn from the past. Why don't these towns donate them to its local museum!?
Also, he did not rightfully denounce both sides. You can't say that the counter protesters were attacked so they technically partook in violence. By not calling out neo-nazis and white supremacist, he took a side. The supremacists made a statement commending trump for his actions. One side was protesting, the other had torches and guns and drove a car into people. Also don't act like this is bad for shutting down people who disagree with them. Its a fucking political comedy show (let me repeat, comedy), and Fox is just as biased and no one can get a fucking word in.
What I heard him says is: "there is blame on both sides..." If we extrapolated that, I guess that he also thinks that when a radicalized muslim commits a terrorist act, that there is blame on both the west and radical Islam. On the other side, removing a countries monuments because of the bad that they represent, is censorship. It is the same as saying that it never happened.
How has no one gotten rid of him yet? Does he need to publicly execute someone like fucking King Jofferey before people get it? oh my god.... are we in game of thrones? Is he our King Jofferey?
Pointing out past presidents that owned slaves, which WAS ACCEPTABLE IN THOSE DAYS, is a problem. It is wrong NOW, but lots of things have changed. I mean, how would you feel about a president that owned a golf resort that employed illegal immigrants and made them work 'off the clock' for no pay? Or even faked their green cards? That would be wrong by today's standards. But guess who does that?!?! Isn't that a form of slavery???
Harry Leslie Smith a 94 year old Royal Air Force veteran from the UK has been speaking out lately and one of the things he mentioned really got to me, he said in August 1939 him and his friends would just laugh at the newsreels of Hitler in Germany and at the age of 16 he never thought anything was going to happen. To me it reminds me of myself laughing at Trump this whole time. Now after having fought actual Nazis in WW2 he is worried that the world is repeating the same mistakes it did in WW2. The fact that a man who lived through such a terrible period is vehemently warning us of essentially repeating WW2 is scary as all hell.
Trump, I don't know if I can get this past your spoiled childhood, but an honest media is not nice media. Honesty isn't flattery. I don't know what school you went to but honesty is the hard truth.
Even if 'waiting for the facts' wasn't an amusing hypocritical comment from Trump, wouldn't it still be the safest statement ever to just say you condemn Nazis and white supremacists, right away anyways?? Was he worried that people would challenge that they are great groups??
MrAtlfan21 Not me! I'm still shocked that Trump was actually defending Nazi's, KKK and White supremacist's. Shocked but unfortunately not that surprised!
Michele Travis its true. I almost found myself agreeing with Trump until I watched this clip. Hate how the media is beginning to filter him and those who agree with him.
Rapeoreon ya with groups very similar to sjw increase and then followed buy an increase in groups based on feelings that ignore facts then the preshure of the poor. Into hate because they were not listed to
Being alive, being him. and being here in this country. Send the bastard to Russia, and while we are at it send Rupert Murdoch back to Australia. Sorry Australia but we can't stand the bastard either.
Heroin, A few of Trump's known crimes, and crimes that are reasonable to suspect: 1. [Potential] treason. There is strong evidence that Trump knowingly colluded with a foreign hostile power to undermine the democratic process, including aiding efforts of 'foreign election meddling'. This includes working with Russia to spy on his political rivals, and publicly granting Russia permission to proceed with the DNC hack. There is unending evidence of collusion, but the case for treason is arguably incomplete. It hinges on proving criminal intent before going to prosecution. Even with the emails showing a clear willingness to participate, Trump could plead a defense of nativity or ignorance. Since his hand was forced to release his emails, Trump Jr. has already taken the public position that he was a naive Russian patsy and didn't understand the scope of the problem saying he thought it was just "standard opposition research" and wasn't aware of the legal/moral implications in cooperating with a foreign hostile power to conduct cyber attacks against parts of the US government. 2. [Confirmed] Trading US policy for business favors. Trump has admitted to many conflicts of interest. Some of those expressly violate the U.S. Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause. “[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” Since he did not divest his business operations before inauguration, he has been violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause since the moment he took office. This was intentional and malicious. Trump boasted how he planned to be the first person to profit off his position as president. I can provide links to the legal literature why this alone is grounds for impeachment, per request. 3. [Confirmed] Sexual Harassment/Assault. Numerous women have testified that he has groped them without permission. Trump himself has been recorded saying he grabs them and doesn't ask permission, and that he gloats that he gets away with it because he holds a position of power over them. (Ex. Barging in on naked teenage girls in their dressing rooms, and getting away with it because he owns the pageants.) This isn't classified as "high crimes" the same way treason or emoluments are, but still carries prison time. 4. [Confirmed] Multiple counts of obstruction of Justice. First is when Trump asked James Comey to shut down legitimate investigations in favor of loyalty to Trump. Comey has an impeccable record, immediately took notes creating a paper trail, and disseminated information about that pledge among his staff back when it happened. Next count is when Trump fired Comey for investigating him. To this day, his excuses for doing this are nonsensical and cite the same reasons Trump praised Comey. It is painfully clear beyond all reasonable doubt that he was attempting to hamper the investigations he has made countless other attempts to stop. ...I won't give it a whole bullet point, but there is a separate [Potential] "Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice" charge. The conspiracy just requires a single person saying "yes" to one of his many loyalty pledges. (I say "many" because he's done this a lot throughout his business career and even has his supporters swear loyalty at rallies.) 5. [According to Trump] Since we are already covering Trump's lack of credibility and this Comey story, do you recall when Trump used a tweet to threaten James Comey? Specifically, he threatened to release tapes of their conversation. If Trump's post was taken seriously (and we assumed his threats were not empty and that recordings did exist), he should have provided those tapes per the government subpoena as evidence. Instead, Trump's posted a tweet that would make him culpable for: A. Blackmail B. Witness Intimidation C. Threats against a private citizen D. Failure to hand over the tapes would be concealing evidence E. Erasing the tapes destruction of government property (Trump ultimately admitted he was lying but in a roundabout way, and subsequently claimed no tapes ever existed.) 6. [Confirmed prima facie] Bribery. To try to derail the Trump University investigation, Trump broke federal law in connection with his foundation’s gift to to a campaign group connected to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Trump and his accountants failed to disclose the gift to IRS, taking intentional measures to obscuring the recipient. That gift was received right before the ruling not to proceed with the case against Trump University-- a blatant attempt at bribery. Not that contact direct contact between Trump and Bondi was important, Trump also lied saying they never spoke. End result, Trump funneled more than $160,000 in donations Bondi's way.
I think it was a very valid point, given the leftards wanted to destroy historic statues of other people who stood for slavery. Washington stood for slavery. Will they pull down his statues? This shit is out of control. They are statues of historically significant leaders. Hi from Australia, American leftards are making a joke out of their country. Just watch the actual press conference. I watched this whole clip and it's entirely misrepresentation of what happened.
You guys are missing the point. We're not just getting rid of slave owners we're getting rid of traitors who wanted to destroy&murder the union. George Washington is not perfect but he helped built America and loved America. Confederates=Nazis. Germany bans Hitler from having statues so why can't America ban Confederates from having statues?
_"given the leftards wanted to destroy historic statues "_ Most those statues were made in the *1920's* and were massproduced. There is nothing historic about them.
Only if that peace comes with general understanding. We have to come together as a nation that does not devalue or oppress those with a different colored skin, cultural background, or belief system. Unfortunately that will not happen and just knowing that is saddening.
The ironic thing is that Robert E. Lee didn't want any statues of himself put up. He specifically instructed people not to construct any statues of him. He was an amazing man and very reluctant to participate in the Civil War, but he would have hated having statues of himself erected.
I'm Canadian and when I visited there for 2 weeks, I did not have or witness one single, solitary instance of rudeness. Everyone just went about their own business or was actively nice to me. A lady barely bumped me with her stroller in the subway station and said, "oh sorry Hon!". There must be something to the New York attitude for it to be a stereotype, but I sure didn't see it. I'd love to see someone take a clip of that chant and lock it in as his phone's ring tone.
So, could we just quit with the stupid insults already? Saying something dumb like "All liberals are retarded" is pointless and does not make anything better. You don't gain anything from insulting people who think differently from you. So why don't we all grow up and treat each other with some respect? It isn't that hard to not be rude. It's ok to think and feel differently than other people, so please stop the nonsense.
Unfortunately, the hatred between the faction has caused a society to reached a point where its practically impossible to have a reasonable conversation. people does not care about the context of discussion. They only care about who is saying and if a people that is voicing their opinion is holding a different opinion from which they advocates, then expect some bloodshed. As of this moment, I feel like a conservative side is managing to hold their sense at the last grip since they at least allow their oppositions to speak (I Know they don't listen but they at least allow others to speak). But as for the Liberal side, they are pretty much helpless. Whenever they find a peoples that disagree with their belief, they quickly resort to calling them a Nazi, white supremacist, homophobic, Islamophobic, and every kind of name calling that they could imagine. The liberal administration throughout the western continent should have considered the opinions of conservative during the past few decades instead of labeling them as whatever they want to call them. Suppressing the opinions of your opposition just because you don't like it is never an answer in constitutional democracy
I desperately wish more people thought like that. But anger is addictive, and this country is full of junkies. It feels like we're approaching meltdown, and I don't know if it can be stopped now.
Thank you Cole! This really should be the top comment. These comment sections are just getting more and more insult-filled and ridiculous. We always need to treat each other with respect. If you're not treating someone with respect, then they better genuinely deserve it.
Saying something like "All white people are racist" or "Trump supporters are stupid" doesn't help either. Screaming "Nazi, Racist, Sexist, etc" just to shut someone up for having an opinion is also wrong. Obviously, not all conservative are Nazi supporters. Obviously, not all white people are bad. Everyone is a different person. And that's why we have what happened today. It's not just about insult toward the liberals from the conservatives. It's vice versa from both sides. Any other than that, I agree with you.
My God. THIS press conference alone would be the IMMEDIATE END to Biden's time in office had it been Joe Biden who made those statements.... or any other president. This is how low the Republican standards have dropped. We had four years of this insanity, and somehow, they can't find anyone more appealing than Trump to run in 2024...
...and his staff was very quick to throw the president under the bus. They were in damage control immediately, with one aide telling reporters, "That was all him. This wasn't our plan." LOL!
If you put your feet on the ground you can feel the earth vibrating from all the dead veterans spinning in their graves...
Heroin, feel free to go to talk to modern Germans and ask them how they feel about their history. A vast majority will say it's absolutely critical that we not repeat the mistakes of their past, and are watching our situation unfold with great caution.

JCTiggs The Normandy invasion is what beat the Nazis. Soviet loses were catastrophic and if the Nazis were able to bring in the armor and air power they used against the allies the Soviets would have been forced to surrender EVERYTHING but Moscow. Effectively losing the war in Russia.
William Cortelyou It was the stretching of German resources across multiple fronts at the same time that beat Nazi Germany. It wasn't only the Nomandy invasion.
George Walser So in your fantasy world the Allies should have fought the Nazi's with water guns and paper airplanes. Did you happen to buy a Tiki Torch recently?
So if he verbally said Nazis and antifa, instead of saying both sides, then its ok? Seriously how is denouncing both groups simultaneously constitute being pro nazi?
George Walser lol, really? That's not what happened on D-Day, you ignorant fuck
I've lived in the great state of Virginia all my life including Charlottesville. I've never been so outraged with a response from a president as I've been with this debacle. To reiterate what Stephen said last night Nazi's are bad, there is no room in this country for that level of racist hate. I commend the heroes that stood up against the alt right rally, we all need to band together and stand up to this racist blight that's festering in our country. Heal well Charlottesville #CharlottesvilleStrong.

Awoof I'm sorry to tell you this but it's not new. They've just gotten bolder.
America has been trying to hide its ugly side for centuries, the world is now aware of what has been going on because of internet access. America had a very ugly side, no matter what they say, what you see is the true face of America. The devil walks the street of this country.
Then you weren't paying too much attention.
Awoof , If you take a philosophy class, it is rather funny how freedom is such an ambiguous term. Some philosophers that are the stepping stones of american philosophy do mention anarchy and the "rule of nature" but also being a fine line in some scenarios.

what do you expect, these idiots voted for Trump, you expect a genius scientist as the president? He is a laughing stock of the world. He's old, and he's destroying his legacy piece by piece. What an idiot.
Mike Klaus most of us didn't vote for him. This is the second time in 16 years that our antiquated electoral college has fucked over the majority voters. We need to abolish the dumb system, but unfortunately that's a long, difficult process because it would be an amendment to the Constitution. And I don't think we'll have enough Republicans on board because it's been benefiting them too much
By defending them so heavily, he's essentially blaming the people who got run over and beat up. WTF is wrong with this man?! Even if they didn't have a permit to congregate, you cannot think running them over was somehow justified!
Tara The counter protestors did have a permit. They were legally exercising their first amendment rights too.
tmWasted Bullshit. He couldn't wait to defend his KKK buddies, and acted like the victim's mother condoned it, when he hasn't even reached out to the family.
Even if they'd not had a permit though, so what? I reckon some of these people watched Saving Private Ryan like "yea, but they're the ones who illegally landed on the beach"
Technically, he said he needed to know the facts. He never said his statements were based on them.
Cheers Stephen! You nailed it!

Pick a side, fascism or communism. That's the argument, and a false dichotomy.
"Okay" and legal are two different terms. If you intend to censor any speech, including hate speech, using the state or coercion then you're closer to a facsist than a liberal.
I'd pick Nazism over Communism, personally. But why the HELL do these leftist kooks make that the option? Ideally, wouldn't "Neither" be the American way?

Re-Watching this 6 years laters, I didn't almost spray my coffee; ☕ I DID spray it, and I did it generously
Dear US Americans, your president is insane.
G. Washington has a city named after him yet he was a slave owner. It's a liberal hub as far as I know and no one has any problem with it. When people protested against the take down of Robert E Lee statue the radical left/antifa brought clubs to attack them, the police was told to stay away. There were many beatings reported, the Antifa thugs were all masked and it will be impossible to hold them accountable. Historical revisionism is wrong especially when there are double standards involved. But since Colbert's piece on pizzagate I know he's just pushing his agenda, facts mean very little to him.
People aren't taking down statues of slave owners. They were taking down a statue of a separatist general who militarily supported the dismantling of the United States. The city had voted on it after several years of debate. Then these conservative/right wing groups poured in from other regions to protest.
Yeah it couldn't have been about slavery, because Rober E. Lee was against slavery and supported the abolition. That's why you have every right to protest, because there's nothing morally wrong in respecting 19th century war heros that just supported the losing side. And you should not beat people up for this.
I don't think Robert E. Lee was a bad guy, but he did fight against his country. Why have a statue of him? He didn't just support the losing side. He supported the side that rebelled against the United States. I'm pretty sure we don't have any statues commemorating British generals from the Revolution, and I bet the UK doesn't have any statues commemorating George Washington.
And some of those groups that came to protest taking down the statue were also looking for a fight and shouting "Jews will not replace us!" The portion of the protest concerning the statue was quickly followed by the Unite the Right rally, which had nothing to do with the statue itself.
its now a symbol of hatred
"Sounds like a guy suspiciously worried that racist presidents don't get statues anymore"
That line gets me every time I watch this...
It is times like these where I REALLY miss The Colbert Report
I DIED when he referenced Strangers with Candy!!!!!
If these symbols represent a time we no longer live in they belong in a museum. Museums are made for exactly this kind of thing. They are a places for people to reflect and learn from the past. Why don't these towns donate them to its local museum!?

Also, he did not rightfully denounce both sides. You can't say that the counter protesters were attacked so they technically partook in violence. By not calling out neo-nazis and white supremacist, he took a side. The supremacists made a statement commending trump for his actions. One side was protesting, the other had torches and guns and drove a car into people. Also don't act like this is bad for shutting down people who disagree with them. Its a fucking political comedy show (let me repeat, comedy), and Fox is just as biased and no one can get a fucking word in.
What I heard him says is: "there is blame on both sides..."
If we extrapolated that, I guess that he also thinks that when a radicalized muslim commits a terrorist act, that there is blame on both the west and radical Islam.
On the other side, removing a countries monuments because of the bad that they represent, is censorship. It is the same as saying that it never happened.
How has no one gotten rid of him yet? Does he need to publicly execute someone like fucking King Jofferey before people get it? oh my god.... are we in game of thrones? Is he our King Jofferey?
Because he is only hated by the left and is surrender by secret service members you are just an idiot.

"How about thomas Jefferson, you like him?" is he really asking these questions wtf
Pointing out past presidents that owned slaves, which WAS ACCEPTABLE IN THOSE DAYS, is a problem.
It is wrong NOW, but lots of things have changed. I mean, how would you feel about a president that owned a golf resort that employed illegal immigrants and made them work 'off the clock' for no pay? Or even faked their green cards? That would be wrong by today's standards. But guess who does that?!?! Isn't that a form of slavery???
Thomas Jefferson was a rapist
Harry Leslie Smith a 94 year old Royal Air Force veteran from the UK has been speaking out lately and one of the things he mentioned really got to me, he said in August 1939 him and his friends would just laugh at the newsreels of Hitler in Germany and at the age of 16 he never thought anything was going to happen. To me it reminds me of myself laughing at Trump this whole time. Now after having fought actual Nazis in WW2 he is worried that the world is repeating the same mistakes it did in WW2. The fact that a man who lived through such a terrible period is vehemently warning us of essentially repeating WW2 is scary as all hell.
Trump, I don't know if I can get this past your spoiled childhood, but an honest media is not nice media. Honesty isn't flattery. I don't know what school you went to but honesty is the hard truth.
Congratulations on 3m subscribers, The Stephen Colbert show. Thanks for making us smile in these sad, hard times.
That Jabba line had me biting my wrist....lolol
Even if 'waiting for the facts' wasn't an amusing hypocritical comment from Trump, wouldn't it still be the safest statement ever to just say you condemn Nazis and white supremacists, right away anyways?? Was he worried that people would challenge that they are great groups??
That is just priceless. Colbert is my dosis every day this guy makes me laugh despite the madness .... Good Job
Well done Stephen!!! Thank-you

Imprison Trump. Impeachment isn't strong enough. He wants America to be tough on crime. Start with him.
Being alive, being him. and being here in this country. Send the bastard to Russia, and while we are at it send Rupert Murdoch back to Australia. Sorry Australia but we can't stand the bastard either.
Heroin,
A few of Trump's known crimes, and crimes that are reasonable to suspect:
1. [Potential] treason. There is strong evidence that Trump knowingly colluded with a foreign hostile power to undermine the democratic process, including aiding efforts of 'foreign election meddling'. This includes working with Russia to spy on his political rivals, and publicly granting Russia permission to proceed with the DNC hack.
There is unending evidence of collusion, but the case for treason is arguably incomplete. It hinges on proving criminal intent before going to prosecution. Even with the emails showing a clear willingness to participate, Trump could plead a defense of nativity or ignorance. Since his hand was forced to release his emails, Trump Jr. has already taken the public position that he was a naive Russian patsy and didn't understand the scope of the problem saying he thought it was just "standard opposition research" and wasn't aware of the legal/moral implications in cooperating with a foreign hostile power to conduct cyber attacks against parts of the US government.
2. [Confirmed] Trading US policy for business favors. Trump has admitted to many conflicts of interest. Some of those expressly violate the U.S. Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause. “[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” Since he did not divest his business operations before inauguration, he has been violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause since the moment he took office. This was intentional and malicious. Trump boasted how he planned to be the first person to profit off his position as president. I can provide links to the legal literature why this alone is grounds for impeachment, per request.
3. [Confirmed] Sexual Harassment/Assault. Numerous women have testified that he has groped them without permission. Trump himself has been recorded saying he grabs them and doesn't ask permission, and that he gloats that he gets away with it because he holds a position of power over them. (Ex. Barging in on naked teenage girls in their dressing rooms, and getting away with it because he owns the pageants.) This isn't classified as "high crimes" the same way treason or emoluments are, but still carries prison time.
4. [Confirmed] Multiple counts of obstruction of Justice. First is when Trump asked James Comey to shut down legitimate investigations in favor of loyalty to Trump. Comey has an impeccable record, immediately took notes creating a paper trail, and disseminated information about that pledge among his staff back when it happened. Next count is when Trump fired Comey for investigating him. To this day, his excuses for doing this are nonsensical and cite the same reasons Trump praised Comey. It is painfully clear beyond all reasonable doubt that he was attempting to hamper the investigations he has made countless other attempts to stop.
...I won't give it a whole bullet point, but there is a separate [Potential] "Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice" charge. The conspiracy just requires a single person saying "yes" to one of his many loyalty pledges. (I say "many" because he's done this a lot throughout his business career and even has his supporters swear loyalty at rallies.)
5. [According to Trump] Since we are already covering Trump's lack of credibility and this Comey story, do you recall when Trump used a tweet to threaten James Comey? Specifically, he threatened to release tapes of their conversation. If Trump's post was taken seriously (and we assumed his threats were not empty and that recordings did exist), he should have provided those tapes per the government subpoena as evidence. Instead, Trump's posted a tweet that would make him culpable for:
A. Blackmail
B. Witness Intimidation
C. Threats against a private citizen
D. Failure to hand over the tapes would be concealing evidence
E. Erasing the tapes destruction of government property
(Trump ultimately admitted he was lying but in a roundabout way, and subsequently claimed no tapes ever existed.)
6. [Confirmed prima facie] Bribery. To try to derail the Trump University investigation, Trump broke federal law in connection with his foundation’s gift to to a campaign group connected to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Trump and his accountants failed to disclose the gift to IRS, taking intentional measures to obscuring the recipient. That gift was received right before the ruling not to proceed with the case against Trump University-- a blatant attempt at bribery. Not that contact direct contact between Trump and Bondi was important, Trump also lied saying they never spoke. End result, Trump funneled more than $160,000 in donations Bondi's way.
7:10 worried about racist president not getting statue anymore. " ha ha ha ... I can't stop laughing !! 🤣🤣🤣
Ignorance of the law is NO excuse!
And Trump wonders why the media cover him so negatively!
calling George Washington a slave owner is not a good thing to say out loud
why? wasn't he?
True, it's just a bad political timing, it's a conversation that has to be had just not at that moment
I think it was a very valid point, given the leftards wanted to destroy historic statues of other people who stood for slavery. Washington stood for slavery. Will they pull down his statues? This shit is out of control. They are statues of historically significant leaders. Hi from Australia, American leftards are making a joke out of their country.
Just watch the actual press conference. I watched this whole clip and it's entirely misrepresentation of what happened.
You guys are missing the point. We're not just getting rid of slave owners we're getting rid of traitors who wanted to destroy&murder the union. George Washington is not perfect but he helped built America and loved America. Confederates=Nazis. Germany bans Hitler from having statues so why can't America ban Confederates from having statues?
_"given the leftards wanted to destroy historic statues "_
Most those statues were made in the *1920's* and were massproduced.
There is nothing historic about them.
Is there a normal person in this comment section who just wants peace
FreshEnd98, until the color of a man's skin is of no more importance than the color of his eyes there is a war.
FreshEnd98 me
Yes, but unfortunately the Hate mongers here only respond to Hate.
Only if that peace comes with general understanding. We have to come together as a nation that does not devalue or oppress those with a different colored skin, cultural background, or belief system. Unfortunately that will not happen and just knowing that is saddening.
iPhoneeditor Agreed
The ironic thing is that Robert E. Lee didn't want any statues of himself put up. He specifically instructed people not to construct any statues of him. He was an amazing man and very reluctant to participate in the Civil War, but he would have hated having statues of himself erected.
It stops when we get rid of Trump

I'm Canadian and when I visited there for 2 weeks, I did not have or witness one single, solitary instance of rudeness. Everyone just went about their own business or was actively nice to me. A lady barely bumped me with her stroller in the subway station and said, "oh sorry Hon!". There must be something to the New York attitude for it to be a stereotype, but I sure didn't see it. I'd love to see someone take a clip of that chant and lock it in as his phone's ring tone.
Man these comments literally gave me cancer
do you live near a windmill? Maybe it was that...
I can't wait for the day I can turn on the TV and not be embarrassed by our leader
So, could we just quit with the stupid insults already? Saying something dumb like "All liberals are retarded" is pointless and does not make anything better. You don't gain anything from insulting people who think differently from you. So why don't we all grow up and treat each other with some respect? It isn't that hard to not be rude. It's ok to think and feel differently than other people, so please stop the nonsense.
Unfortunately, the hatred between the faction has caused a society to reached a point where its practically impossible to have a reasonable conversation.
people does not care about the context of discussion. They only care about who is saying and if a people that is voicing their opinion is holding a different opinion from which they advocates, then expect some bloodshed.
As of this moment, I feel like a conservative side is managing to hold their sense at the last grip since they at least allow their oppositions to speak (I Know they don't listen but they at least allow others to speak). But as for the Liberal side, they are pretty much helpless. Whenever they find a peoples that disagree with their belief, they quickly resort to calling them a Nazi, white supremacist, homophobic, Islamophobic, and every kind of name calling that they could imagine.
The liberal administration throughout the western continent should have considered the opinions of conservative during the past few decades instead of labeling them as whatever they want to call them.
Suppressing the opinions of your opposition just because you don't like it is never an answer in constitutional democracy
Thank you for this reasonable comment. Gives me hope that this country still has a chance to heal.
I desperately wish more people thought like that. But anger is addictive, and this country is full of junkies. It feels like we're approaching meltdown, and I don't know if it can be stopped now.
Thank you Cole! This really should be the top comment. These comment sections are just getting more and more insult-filled and ridiculous. We always need to treat each other with respect. If you're not treating someone with respect, then they better genuinely deserve it.
Saying something like "All white people are racist" or "Trump supporters are stupid" doesn't help either.
Screaming "Nazi, Racist, Sexist, etc" just to shut someone up for having an opinion is also wrong. Obviously, not all conservative are Nazi supporters. Obviously, not all white people are bad. Everyone is a different person.
And that's why we have what happened today.
It's not just about insult toward the liberals from the conservatives. It's vice versa from both sides.
Any other than that, I agree with you.
My God. THIS press conference alone would be the IMMEDIATE END to Biden's time in office had it been Joe Biden who made those statements.... or any other president. This is how low the Republican standards have dropped. We had four years of this insanity, and somehow, they can't find anyone more appealing than Trump to run in 2024...
