I wonder whether Colbert's true crime was lese majesty against the owner of paramount. The billionaire aristocracy hates when their underlings don't show sufficient deference to them. That it made FFOTUS happy was just gravy.
Colbert is a genius! He will 1,000% land on his feet elsewhere, even if only on the inter-webs. They can't shut him down there. Trump can go EFF off, the frail, lying POS.
For a nation that prides itself on macho masculinity, our (mostly male) leaders sure are a cowardly lot. Possibly they are even more cowardly than corrupt, though that's a tough call.
A little OT - Looks like even the Weather Channel is capitulating to the Vile Orange Cretin. Was just watching a forecast on storms in the southeast and ....
Wait for it ...
Wait for it ...
The Gulf of America. Big label right there on the weather map.
I didn't realize that had been made "official" but then I rarely watch cable news anymore because I can'r stand hearing anything about Trump. I'd rather read about it here.
But can somebody tell me, WAS there an official edict from the WH to change the name? I had just put that idiotic idea down to Trump'd first-day blustering.
I went to cancel my paramount subscription and top trending article on site is “how to cancel subscription” Ahh yes we are canceling en mass for first amendment reasons in language they understand MONEY. And with that big merger…
That final video of fake right-wing “Colbert” was great. I wonder if dude behind him wasn’t in on the joke or just trying not to laugh. And how many congresspersons had no idea who he was? Also too I see Dana Bash lurking in the back not laughing. Was she at CNN yet at the time?
I would contribute to ensure that happens. Only if Colbert uses some of Rooney's phrases/sayings. But stay in a serious character. Maybe Colbert could come out with the (anti)-Trump Show and continuously mock Trump daily?
Ta, Marcie. Back when Jon Stewart was still pretending to be a decent human, I went to Washington DC for the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, starring Stewart and Colbert. I went for two reasons. The first was to speak with young people about why voting is so important, so I volunteered at the rally to have a chance to do that. The second was that friends from various places in the US, including Alaska (!) were coming to an afterparty hosted by a DC friend. We all had signs; my favorite was "God Talks to You? There's Medication for That."
Thanks for ending with that Colbert video. So great. In character from The Colbert Report in testimony.

KARMA IS COMING, rapidly.
Psych.
Once the Skydance/Paramount deal goes through, they’ll “reconsider” ending The Late Show.
I predict.
i am sure that he'll land on his feet somewhere - or even start his own (not in a man shed like tucker tho, unless he does it ironically)
It took 10 minutes to listen to that 2:16 min Colbert clip. CBS's servers must be ... umm ... overloaded.

I just texted Paramount and advised I am doing the same thing.

Colbert should take his show to PBS, and he could be their biggest fundraiser...
It's so simple, 16 mill is chump change compared to what Paramount will make from the merger.
What library?
You mean the one the Christians destroyed because it had books depicting teh gayz on its shelves?
No, I mean the one Trump will never build because he'll use the money to build hotels.

This just seems like a great opportunity for ABC, NBC, and / or HBO Max.
It would be extra hilarious if Colbert volunteered to do Andy Rooney-style segments on 60 Minutes for free, just to troll Trump.

Jon Stewart is a decent human; just not perfect. Neither are you or I.
