I love that it's a female judge who slammed the Orange Stain for his delusion of executive privilege as a private citizen.
That doubles the impact for me. It's BRILLIANT!
If Rodgers didn't expect a negative response.. why did he lie about his vaccination status to begin with...
nailed it.
Exactly. Hypocrisy at its best.
Maybe the mainstream media would brand him, anti-vaxxer, which then means he's a fascist, mysonigisitc, racist e.t.c. I sure hope he didn't write something mean 10 years ago on Facebook, or else....... free kyle rittenhouse 🤟
@@jonnybyrne989 you do luv hyperbole and 'maybe' this and 'maybe' that. you don't have to deal in 'maybe'. mainstream media is just reporting a fact- Rodgers is a liar. 'maybe' a lesson on sesame street is in order for Rodgers.
@kindness Matters haha well I don't know Rogers personally so I can't judge his intellect, but yes joe rogan is sexiest,racist e.t.c. because he took horse deworming pills, which as we know is false
Imagine having to say to a grown man, "There can only be one president at a time."
Your quip made me laugh so hard. Thanks so much
But then again we are talking about the perpetual toddler that is Trump so…🤷♀️
TRUMP WON MFERS
@@sheilac1845 tell yourself that hon
At that point you also might have to consider what else he might not have learned by now.
A judge basically said to No.45 "Dude, you aren't in charge anymore, sod off."
I LOVE IT.
"Trucker Moms"? Stephen! You missed a perfect opportunity to say "Mother Truckers!"
That was legit good! 😂

I saw my first" logger mom" the other day.. A woman driving a logging truck..
@@lcifermorningstar191 Will you please shut up with the stupid slogan?
Lol. Good one!
This judge hauled out DT like the trash!
I'm not sure he has ever been dismissed in that way. Probably a strange feeling for him.
There were a few good ones regarding the election cases. Some of these judges are not just cold, talking 25 below zero....lol
I am Melania did it many times. And so did his previous two ex wives.
I'm sure it washed over him like a bucket of ice cold water...lol
Stephen said the judge was a "she" right? maybe Mushroom Man will ask her to spank him with a magazine afterwards, its usually what he ends up doing when he feels strange
And especially a woman!
I love it when Stephen Colbert directly cites online news sources to show us he is not just making up propaganda and misinformation.
“Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.” That Judge threw down the mic!!

Aaron Rodgers tested positive for stupidity.
Being worried about the long term effects of an experimental vaccine isn't stupid.
@@cheesenbiscuits No, spreading lies and conspiracy theories about it is though.
Aaron put his team mates and others at risk to covid and just gets a slap on the wrist. I think they should do to him what they did to a certain quarterback for taking a knee in protest that didn't hurt anyone physically except for their feelings.
Yeah Rodgers should be fired.
@@lynntaylor9681 And fined.
These rules were in place at the beginning of the season.
Daaamn!, straight up.
As Captain Pike told Kirk: "You don't follow the rules because you don't agree with them! It's a pattern with you: that rules are for other people!"
"Recruiting women and young people" I've never seen an industry ADVERTISE it intends to pay people less before.
There is no logic in your statement.
@@ny8956 Um then you must not be in marketing, what she said is 100% on point.
@@ny8956 have to agree with Elena, rather than say we'll pay people more or improve conditions, to attract more people; they said they'll target demographics that usually are able to earn less money
@@Marcel-qb9ge If that is the case, then maybe the trucker services are not making the hiring opportunities more diverse with the intent to have people they can pay less. It sounded like Elena Christian just assumed the worst when she thought that opening trucker services to women and young people to deal with the shortage was because it intended to pay people less. Look, just because one is making job opportunities more diverse, does not always mean it wants people it can pay less if they are not breaking equal pay laws.
"hate is not going to get us out of this." If I were either one of those guys interviewing him I'd have said "yeah well neither is lying or stupidity."
"You don't get to keep any part of a job you lost." Amen!
Love it
I wish that were true. Members of Congress get their salaries and benefits for life, no matter how long they served. It really needs to be ended.
I wouldn't want to anyway! 😂😂😂😂😂
Except for your pension and in-case of former presidents: life long security. I'm also pretty sure they get other perks.
I want my experience, damn it.
As an unemployed trucker and they need to pay truckers more. Every job I have worked is at least 60 hours a week. For what they pay it's not worth my time.
@@SnarkyMarx that's why companies are paying so little they are expecting driverless trucks soon. Not worth it
I feel your pain Rod. Wages haven't gone up since Raygun Killed the working class. Stay safe
Over 20.00 an hour at least.
It may depend on the region. In central PA, I keep hearing radio ads for $70k to start; $5k sign-on bonus, and they pay for your CDL (I believe the ads were for Family Dollar). That might not be a lot to many people, but it's a hell of a lot more than I got for my first 8 years in the Navy. My first of three deployments was to Guantanamo Bay, providing healthcare to detainees. People told me to my face daily that they were going to kill me, so two-to-three times the pay, and no death threats sounds like a steal to me - and I wouldn't even have to live in a Conex box with five other sailors.
@@rodfatherfishing9223 That's going to be far too long into the future. Better pay is the best answer. We're having the same problem in the UK, though it depends on the business. I was talking to my supermarket delivery driver about it (asked how much petrol was at his base - his answer was that he didn't know because they fill their vans up at Shell, because they don't have enough HGV drivers to guarantee stocks... 🤦🏻♀️).
He also said that since Walmart sold his company (the 3rd biggest supermarket chain here!) to a pair of weird brothers, they've been running it into the ground. They're paying the heavy goods drivers pretty much minimum wage, whereas others are paying up to 4 times the amount. Though our problem is more to do with the stupidity of our current pestilence in chief. We lost a crap ton of drivers from Europe because they were no longer able to work here.🤬 He had to eat crow and ask them to come back - till Xmas 🤦🏻♀️
If you think you have it bad, our petrol is about £1.50 a _litre._ I just looked at a converter and it says 1 US gallon (come on, you can't even use _proper_ imperial measures?? 😉) is 3.79 litres. That's about $7.62 a gallon (or $9.13 a UK gallon. When I passed my driving test, I remember being shocked that it had gone up to 93p/gallon; today that's $1.87). These figures would seem better under normal trading figures when the US dollar is approx £1.30-1.50; it's currently $2.01 to the pound.
It's not just our countries suffering these shortages though; most of the world is. I heard that it's - at least in part - due to there being a lack of empty shipping containers in China. I saw a pile of about 100 empty ones not far from us recently, so I'm thinking they're all in the west!
That story about Aaron rodgers fine being the equivalent of 32 dollars is why in some countries if you get fined your fine is determined on your income. You know so it's an actual deterrent to everyone regardless of income.
Cee Dee Lamb has been fined more this season for untucked jerseys and too short socks. Now that's sad.
Should be a flat percentage for fines, that's the same percentage for everyone.
Except that all football players get big money, so this is just the an admission that they don't care.
thing is a poor person that 32 dollars is worth a lot more to them, it can mean the difference between eating or not
The audiences collective sarcastic “aww” for Aaron Rodgers feeling sad was hilarious.
I wondered why he and Danica Patrick broke up and now realize only one person is allowed to wear the tiara in Aaron's world.
As a member of the man bun community we do not claim Aaron Rogers as one of us.
Thank you have a great day.
Thank you for cutting off any association with him, unlike State Farm.
That man bun is the only thing he has going for him! Lol!
As a member of the non-bun male community, and an admitted holder of anti-bun prejudice, I say we thank you for this olive branch you have extended. I, at least, agree to further negotiations that will break the walls between our respective groups. I see there is no need to continue the hate.
LoL 😂
no labor shortage when you pay a modern, equivalent wage.
Correct. There's just a shortage of people willing to work for 1970s wages while trying to afford a 2020s cost of living.
Actually, there is a shortage of expirienced labor. The baby boomers started reaching retirement age about 9 years ago and they have about 9 years left. It is an actual growing shortage.
And of course, less risk of dying from a contagious disease they risk bringing home to their loved ones. Doesn't matter much money you throw at a problem when you're asking an employee to play Russian Roulette every single day.
Seriously, if Americans had been doing the sensible thing from the very beginning instead of entertaining the insanity of conspiracy nuts and gluing extra layers of soft padding for the kid gloves with which they handle dickheads deliberately undermining public safety they'd probably be back to attending more parties than funerals by now.
@@ihcterra4625 time to start changing hiring practices then, like setting aside time to train new hires, and when an upper level position opens - promote the chain below it to fill in gaps. learn on the job paid, instead demanding 20yos have 30 years of experience.
A Living Wage- which is to say a wage one can actually live on, as opposed to the take home pay that won't even take you home.
"You don't get to keep any part of a job you lost." Facts!
"Presidents are not kings."
The problem is, quite a large part of the GOP base has been told for years (via their pastors, mainly) that a king would be better. My father, a nasty southern Baptist Republican and one of the most bigoted, nasty people I've ever met, has been saying for more than a decade that he doesn't understand why the US doesn't have a king. "It would make more sense, we should just have a king, it's not like voting matters." I always thought that was such a weird thing for him to say, all the time. Then, in the last few years, I started hearing it more online, and from more people in real life. "Why don't we have a king? There are a lot of benefits to having a king. We should have a king, makes sense!" Despite, you know, the US founders, you know, rebelling against a king to, you know, set up our democracy, which, you know, I thought we cherished?
Now, here we are. The GOP has made it clear: they don't want a fairly elected president, they want a dictator/king in power, and their wacky evangelical base is all for it, having been primed for years at their pulpits. We got a bit of it with Nixon's "It's not a crime if the president does it," and then there's been continual creep as the power of the president's office has expanded, under both Dem and GOP control. Then came 9/11, which really ramped up the president's stronghold. It isn't a perfect dictator yet, but Trump and today's Republicans desperately want it to be.
Ready for a new civil war, America? It's coming whether you are or not.
They sound like the Hebrews in 1 Samuel 8. Nothing new under the sun.
I'm really sad to say this but I think your analysis is on point and America is a tumbling giant, ready to fall into and maybe even victim to civil war.
How do you reconcile *all that*, how do you rebuild trust in government when half the country automatically turns off the TV when the other side speaks the truth about their criminal, antidemocratic, clearly racist and fascist party and the Dems themselves are too hamfisted and incompetent to rule once elected?
Third party?? In america? I agree, they'd rather have NO PARTY !
Yeah, I don't know where you find you Evangelicals but none of the churches up my way have been preaching against Democracy. Sorry that your mileage has varied. I'd dump that church in a heartbeat.
The only reason they prop up the idea of a king is because they consider themselves Dukes, Barons, and Viscounts who aren't being showed their proper deference from the Peasants.
They took all the money, they took all the land, they have your labor in their pocket. Now they want their official status title.
They need a King to make that happen.
@@scott4097 "I'd dump that church in a heartbeat." Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to go to church. But the GOP foot soldier army does! Are you ready to mow down some Christian soldiers? I am.
The subpoenas are pointless until the DOJ starts enforcing them.
If Joe wants to improve his approval rating before the mid-terms, passing ONE bill isn't going to do it. We want to see consequences, NOW. He has to replace Garland with someone who actually does their job and doesn't care about the "optics".
💯
Is there precedence for an ex-parte hearing? If so, if one party doesn’t show the other party wins by default. Not sure if that’s an option where this is taking place but that’s how I won my divorce.
@@calvinbright3054 I do agree garland could have done more by now, but I do think in the long term moving methodically is the right move and shows the extreme contrast to Trump claiming he'd jail everyone who he didn't like. What's bugging me is the crimes Cohen went to prison for had their statue of limitations expire last month, where Rump was labeled "Individual One an Unindicted Coconspirator who went on to a successful bid for the presidency". That's where prosecutors dropped the ball, they had all the evidence for years and just let it go...
@@jackl4laughs I get your point, but Biden is floundering badly. He needs to show that the rich and connected are not above the law and get Garland off his a$$ or replace him. I don't know what optics Garland is worried about, but the optics for Biden are terrible. Same old crap; laws for normal people, none for the rich. People are sick to death of it. Biden was supposed to usher in a new era of accountability, instead it's the same old beltway BS.
For a guy who said he'd have the most transparent presideny, the Jackass-O-Lantern is sure trying to hide a lot of stuff.
We knew that was gonna be a lie when he stopped publishing the visitor log in 2017.
And yet people still kiss his ass and praise him. Its beyond me why these people have so much trouble thinking rationally
Now this is the basis for judgment, that the light has come into the world but men have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked. For he that practices vile things hates the light and does not come to the light, in order that his works may not be reproved. But he that does what is true comes to the light, in order that his works may be made manifest as having been worked in harmony with God. - John 3:19-21
"Only by cutting through the darkness and the ignorance can we achieve justice".
But he is transparent in that he doesn't want us to know anything; it's all very clear.
I dunno. I could all the crimes and lies just fine.
"You don't get to keep any part of a job you lost!" - Except for the pens.
You can't claim rights for a job you never did.

"Presidents are not Kings, and Plaintiffs are not President."
Shortly after, the Judge puts on some sunglasses, dropped the gavel, and moonwalks out of the room into the pages of history.
😄😄😃😃😀😀🤣
There was probably a mic drop to go with it.
"plaintiff is not president".
the singular is important here. the judge was not talking about all plaintiffs. biden might well have some kind of case going on right now. this was a message specifically for the former guy.
Kudos judge! she'll never have to buy another dinner!

Oh, who would say that after decades of mass-producing cardboard and single-use plastics we would suffer shortages and climate disaster... I mean, there's no way we could've seen that coming.
When I heard that part in the beginning about a shortage of takeaway containers, my immediate thought was for more people to bring their own reusable takeaway containers and for more F&B places to accept them.
That monologue was freaking hilarious loved every minute of it,,, 😂🤣❤️

Does the average American know, that inflation always happens several years after the cause. Thank Trump for this one.
Unfortunately most Americans don't understand basic economics. , or basic politics as it takes years to see the results of policies. Poor education all around. Sad.
Can we quit blaming Bush for the last recession then?
@JZ's Best Friend well ya see. This is just like all the losers that make excuses for Brandon’s horrible policies that lead us into higher prices. Let’s use gas prices right now for example. The Brandon supporters claim president have no bearing on gas prices. So by their own theory then Trump didn’t have policies that actually lowered gas prices. Don’t ya see, a Republican can never get credit for lowering gas prices through good policy and a democrat can never be blamed for raising them with bad policy. Convenient isn’t it.
@@hadtocheathimtobeathim6549 Neither side gets any credit for anything while your country flops like a fish because of both. Though, anyone supporting Trump is a worldwide joke. And they are both responsible for children dying to gun-violence, along with everyone else who allows it for the benefits it gives them.
@JZ's Best Friend I don't know about the OP's claim that it "always" goes down like this, but at least on this occasion... when the US government printed all those extra dollars in 2020 (more than ⅕ of all the dollars that have *ever* been printed), they didn't go straight into the hands of the public, they trickled down to the public's hands over a period of many months-to-years from the financial institutions that they were initially distributed among.
(As far as the politics of that goes, I'm British and don't have a dog in that race, I'm just interested in the global banking system - I'm not sure it's fair to blame Trump for the inflation, but it's fair to say it was caused while he was still your President).
Edit: reading some of your other comments back I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but I've typed it now so it can stay lol.
Missed opportunity for a Highlander reference.
"When it comes to presidents, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!"

Shipping companies underpaid their drivers so much it was not worth working. Drivers were routinely driving to the limits of the federal laws of hours on the road. Delivering to warehouses with overworked, underpaid, staff off loading the trucks. And not enough of them! That's OK with the shipping companies, they just add late fees on their already abused hirelings.
And don't forget the rampant drug use!
Crap is going to hit the fan here once the harvest we just finished starts needing to be shipped out, the laws regarding agricultural trucking are even more lax and all the problems are magnified. And we don't really have any choice but to turn a blind eye because otherwise we don't get to eat. It's gonna get really crazy when the food shortages begin.
I bet the CEOs are raking in billions.
"Drivers were routinely driving to the limits of the federal laws of hours on the road." According to a trucker friend of my fiance, no, they were and still are routinely driving *beyond* the limits of federal laws of hours on the road.
In Oz, I have seen delivery contracts where crows would have to break the raod speed limit to get from A to B.
I would bow to that judge...
Our energy company has been charging me $300 a month for electricity, up from an average of $70. No, we're not using more energy. This company is just "paying forward" the fine they were levied for burning down half of California with their lack of equipment maintenance. How is this legal?

Ah…trucking shortage. It’s pretty similar all over the “western” world: shit pay, shit treatment, shit recognition.
Solution would be to sufficiently increase their pay and sufficiently increase the respect they get.
My one grandfather was a union truck driver back in the day so his wages tended to keep up the cost of living and when he retired in the mid-1980s he had a full pension and social security.
Every job should be a Union job.
That would be a dream come true
Increasing pay and respect is going to be the literal last thing companies will offer.

"Hair Farce One" is genius.
And he accidentally said "Hair Force One" - and as applause happened he looked off stage right as the audience is applauding and said "Time machine? Can I get a time machine?"

Steven is out there on the tightrope (to mix a metaphor or two).
".....bur in the end, I have to stay true to who I am and what I'm about."
This statement means absolutely nothing when it is only said AFTER being caught lying. This was about selling out his beliefs for money while thinking he wouldn't get caught. He thought he could have his cake and eat it too.
I know, right? Why the hell has saying "I'm sorry" or "I was wrong" become synonymous with "I have a micropenis, please abuse me" (that's the way these people are acting)

We have a shortage of trucking companies willing to pay the appropriate labor costs to meet the market price of labor. Classic supply and demand of the free market. The caplistist class knows how to solve this they just don't want to end their increasing profit margins.
Sadly, experience has taught them two ways to solve it. Increase wages themselves, OR, whine about until the government steps in and help them pay....
@@shanadir socialism for the rich
Hear hear!
Agreed, and I hopefully touched on that in my reply to the main comment above this one.
Well said.
The price of living is up but wages don’t ever keep up! The low wages are also part of supply chain issues.
Yes, Stephen was remiss in not bringing that up. His writers dropped the ball in this case.
The feudal system has slowly re-established itself since the 1950’s. So slowly, in fact, that 99% of people didn’t notice. But your smart phone has all sorts of cool stuff on it from the internet, so keep paying attention to that!
@@gregbors8364 it is the default system humanity tends to revert to if not actively resisted.
I'm no economist, but couldn't they set limits, at the federal level, to prevent landlords and businesses from hiking prices without proper documentation of "need"? They also need to change the rules for adherence to the state minimum wage to not be determined by # of employees, but rather by annual income. I work for a hotel (more of a motel, if you catch my meaning) in California, and they keep their # of employees low just to be able to pay us less than we're worth. A lot of economic issues could be fixed, but we'd need to get a tighter control over what a US business is allowed to do. Maybe set up a "business ethics" committee? And don't just throw anyone on it, have the people VOTE who gets put on it, with a thorough background check of who is wanting placement. Eh, but that really sounds like a pipe dream. Tax the corporations, and take off the kiddie gloves! If they try to do some shifty sh*t, then levy fines on them. If they suddenly want to uproot to China or whatever shortly after it's announced, just ensure they know that they would be hit with tariffs from the US and allied countries if they did so (thus costing even more, on top of the overall price of moving countries). Make them fully disclose ALL financial activity to the IRS each quarter.
Also, TAX THE CHURCHES! There is no reason not to! At least remove their exemption from having to release their financial records to the IRS, which NO OTHER "non-profit" is given the privilege. There has always been an unfair bias in favor of religious institutions, which is probably why there are so many evangelicals who turn to grifting and deceit. Look, I'm also not a religious person, but doesn't the bible say to be wary of deceivers, for they are most likely aligned with the Prince of Lies? I mean, maybe it's a paraphrase, but I don't personally see any value in religion, but that's not the point I'm making here. The Fed needs to grow a backbone and stand up to churches, corporations, and the 1% (or whatever they call the financially wealthy, yet morally bankrupt), and stop fighting testing on cannabis or use of it, among other really dumb shi*t.
Agree totally!
I’m going to start responding to “let’s go Brandon” with “plaintiff is not President.” I usually just type “Biden won” but anything to annoy the Qidiots is good enough 😂
Brilliant!
‘Qidiots’, brilliant 😂
Yeah, except the Qidiots probably won't understand, having never heard the story from NewsMax, OANN, or Fox.
I can't even bother responding to the "Brandon" BS. It's so incredibly petty and juvenile, like middle schoolers standing around posing, thinking they're "lit". Lol.
“Plaintiff is not president” is meaningless. Obama EO 13489. You’re welcome.
As a trucker myself it is awesome to hear you do a bit on my lively hood. You go Colbert!

@@gsmith6595 Good to know. If I hadn't already paid for a 6 month premium I would have already switched. I'm already looking.
I thought the same thing. Now what do we do? Drop them?
Those truckers are on strike, represent them properly Stephen!
"Hate isn't going to end this pandemic." Apparently neither is Aaron Rodgers, who seems to be doing his level best to share the love.
I always get such a warm, happy feeling inside whenever "Hair Farce One" does not get his way. Awww, I'm so elated, and grateful to all the people who actually are capable of doing the right thing. I believe many people who keep bowing down to him fail to understand that for whatever reason they are doing this, the longer it continues, the worse it will end up as we see this every day. But also, there will always be someone just as bad, possibly worse than him, in the future and because he wasn't punished for anything ever, this way of no limits, no rules, no accountability and no conscious, will be the norm and you can be assured it will only be worse then than it is now.
We must pray for Merrick Garland and the whole justice department. Don't stop!!!
Jesus wants us to save democracy 🇺🇸💖🙏
I think AG Garland doesn't want to indict Trump because it would look like Biden going after his political enemies but he absolutley needs to indict Trump's enablers at the very least. We'll see but he's taking way too long to go arrest Bannon.
@@mariespi96 That's a worrying thought. In the name of "national unity" or however they want to call it, they might let 45th and his accolytes go, when he absolutely belongs in prison.
@@mariespi96 It’s such an empty gesture. Trump supporters aren’t going to give Biden any credit for leaving Trump alone, so it’s not like Garland is building any bridges. Even if the administration never mentions Trump again, the cultists will still come up with some conspiracy theory, so it’s time to stop playing 1970s ‘national healing’ politics and do something productive.
Dear Aaron:
The way you show love right now is by protecting others by being vaccinated and wearing a mask in public, and by not lying. Sorry, but being “inoculated” in the way that you were doesn’t cut it. Man up and do what is right for your team, family, friends and community.
Yes the likes of him and devils like him do not deserve any right to autonomy, putting all our childrens lives at risk,, they should be all shipped away somewhere horrible by boats, or by trains maybe.
Follow the science darling , your just as liking to spread Covid today being vaccinated. You need to stop making up reasons to force health people who don’t need a vaccine to get one . Stop pushing your politics and worry about yourself .
@@jz7079 The science now clearly says that being vaccinated significantly reduces someone’s chance of spreading COVID if they were to be infected. Fresh data strongly supports this.
Researchers were saying at first when the vaccines came out that they weren’t sure if the vaccines would cut transmission or not because they had no data about that at the time, NOT because they thought it wouldn’t work! They were just being super cautious and didn’t want to get ahead of what the data said.
@@catc8927 its pointless to try reasoning with them cat. They don't listen, and they don't believe in facts, but feelings. They feel that covid isn't serious and it's all a scam. I want everyone to be vaccinated. Sadly, I don't think it will happen. So they'll get sick, possibly die, maybe have lifelong complications, and still say it's not real. You can lead a horse to water...
@@catc8927 I dont think you are seeing the whole picture here at all.But the only thing that will ever convince you of that is time .
Presidents are Not Kings sounds like a 70's mini-series based on a blockbuster novel starring Nick Nolte and Richard Chamberlain.
“You don’t get to keep any part of a job you lost!”
Maybe it’s time we stop giving “executives” privilege and live up to the promise of equal justice under the law
I believe John Durham is doing exactly that. All the facts show that everyone among your heroes ( Hilliary, Bill, Rod the Rat, Comey, Brennan, and that's just a start, have colluded against a Presidential Candidate and a sitting President.
I mean I can understand if the Senate is asking for testimony on classified information, but yeah, the President should not be able to say “I’m president” and then have all consequences waived.
@@tykit9230 plaintiff is not president.
"There can only be one president at a time"
Did someone really have to write that down?
Seems like norms are not what they used to be.
Unfortunately, writing it down doesn't help. He can't read.
@@dracoargentum9783 it has to be tweeted
@@jessicasevin1870 Honestly, I doubt even that. "I've Heard People Say" that he has an apprentice that reads all his tweets for him...
This is Trump we're talking about.
Yeah. It was bad when President Obama meddled. Maybe we need to hold congress accountable.
Colbert is a genuine treasure!!
Employers: we need employees like never before.
Me: ok great hire me!
Employers: how’s 25 hours a week at minimum wage working twice as hard cause were under staffed and we don’t want to pay benefits?
Me: you know what? I’ll just become management.
Employers: ok can you work for such a shitty salary that some weeks if you do the easy math you’ll find out your making less hourly than the minimum wage employees you are managing?
"Presidents are not kings, and **Plaintiff** is not President."
That is the sickest burn since **Plaintiff** tried to get people to inject themselves with bleach.
Except 'Plaintiff' never said inject bleach. Try some truth. It's high fiber and good for you! 😃
@@chrish7904 That is true; he didn't say “inject bleach” -- he simply wondered aloud about the possibility of doing it and suggested that it's something we should look into.
Later, he tried to explain away his “stupefying ignorance” as merely being “sarcastic” (as if that made any sense anyway).
@@chrish7904 He did suggest applying disinfectant internally. While Bleach is just one type of disinfectant, and he didn't specify, there is NO disinfectant safe to apply internally. So at best your defense comes down to "He didn't say to use a chainsaw on your neck, he just suggested that decapitation might be a good idea".
@@chrish7904 "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. So it would be interesting to check that."
Yeah, he's totally not suggesting that people inject themselves with disinfectant in that statement. Not even a little bit, except for the actual words he says. Do you geniuses not understand the concept of recorded video? When he says this shit, it's on record, and when you try to lie about it later it takes literally no effort whatsoever to show that you're full of shit. If you're going to lie about something, you should try picking a subject that wasn't recorded live on national television.
The sickest burn since that guy got burned in the throat by bleach because some orange guy told him to drink BLEACH.
T-shirts with “Plaintiff is not President” are necessary.
Only if they had Presidents are not Kings! Too good!
I'd wear it!
I will have some made.
@@darrenbenson2606 Honestly, you'd probably make some money. Instant classic.
right
Thx Stephen, I needed cheering up tonight!!!
Yeah a judge who passes honest judgement!
The Colbert Show is a national treasure! Not the least because of its truthful, ethical and fierce patriotism delivered with humor. Just think of the countries around the world where you couldn't do that.
Lol. Colbert is a dnc hack. His audience is consistently an uninformed left wing mob. But I can see, if you buy into all of his hyperpartisan lies then, sure, hes a left wing hyperpartisan disgusting dnc hack of a national treasure. I can see that
@@raptango_na6199 grow up facebook karen insurrectionist, go comment on more of colbert’s videos.
@@user-ve9tu5rv6e hes still a dnc hack. I mean...hes ridiculous...what will Colbert say today to enforce his corporate master's Biden protection program? Higher prices? Pfft, who needs stuff?
@@raptango_na6199 imagine thinking the capitalist Democrats were left wing…
Even Bernie sanders is merely a left leaning centerist.
Stop getting your info from Facebook
@@raptango_na6199 Finally someone gets it. Thankyou. Seth Meyers is also a dnc propagandist. Over 80% of Colbert viewers get their political believes from this show.
To quote the film Highlander: There can only be one
There can be only one....
Stephen Colbert, thank you for my morning laugh....
I LOVE Colbert! Your monologues are so well crafted and on point! Wit always demonstrates intelligence...you are prime evidence of that!
I hope whoever Rogers gets sick sues him for every penny.
Ineffective fines don't bother him, but a gardener who's Mom ended up on a respirator because Rogers yelled in his face about the leaves behind the shed taking him for every penny might make an impact.
Yes, they should sue him.
I’m a sue you for giving me less brain cells with that comment what are we gonna do start suing people for catching there colds?
too bad about Mr Rogers, but his career was almost over anyway.
@@eltiburon5240 Trying to start a circular argument is a waste of everyone's time. You know what isn't a waste of time though? Taking an online grammar course to learn about correct punctuation, capitalization and learning the difference between their, there and they're.
@@ferocitas1958 ouch
"To anyone who felt misled by those comments I take full responsibility for those comments" - wtf does that even MEAN. No, seriously. People who get in hot water keep saying this. To me, taking responsibility means accepting the consequences and trying to make good, whereas the way it's actually used is like it's a magic spell specifically meant to ward off the consequences and do nothing otherwise? Seriously it's so consistent someone should update the dictionary.
Some people seem to think it's a polite way of saying "too bad, I don't care".
PErhaps US Americans should start speaking english, where words have meanings.
They took our job!!! 🤣😂😁.
"Santa - the trucker of the sky." That elicited an ugly laugh from me.
That judge is about to start receiving death threats..... We've watched it happen over and over again and y'allqueda isn't really know for being level headed and intelligent...... just take a trip back to January 6th.
No doubt they started getting them as soon as the inquest was begun.
I am sure Rodgers will now a be a cheap spokesperson alternative for MyPillow and Goya beans!
for a guy who's literal jump to fame was that he fires people he sure as fuck doesn't understand how the whole thing works
Colbert is such a Cray Cray and I love it! LOL
Time to boycott State Farm - see how long it takes for them to have a sudden change of heart...
Would loved to have been a fly on the wall when Trump heard the judges response ...... love it :) Zoe , Ca
he immediately and loudly declared the judge "FIRED" via twitter, all caps of course.
no one at merry-lay-low had the heart or balls to remind him that he's been long fired as potus, and by twitter.
as he's fond of saying, "so sad".
@@nonyabizness.original ah yes that hair farce one guy so sad. 🤣
would have been even better if she had been appointed by bunker baby... (but she is actually qualified for the job)
OH, YA GOTTA!!!
I love that Judge!!
I'll have a Big Mac and an order of executive privilege with those frys
Boris gotta be the Royal Hair Farce 😂😂
Doesn't surprise me one bit that State Farm is standing behind Rodgers -- considering their history. Takes one to know one never applied more applicably in this case. State Farm is known in the legal world as the biggest jerks to not only those who have the misfortune to get into an accident with one of their insured but also to their own customers. As a paralegal for 20 years, I wish I had a $20 for every time I would read about yet another "bad faith" lawsuit filed by one of State Farm's own clients for failure to pay medical bills, failure to pay vehicle damage repairs, etc. etc. And worse of all, failure to defend clients in court for accident their client was insured for. So yeah, lying cheats high-fiving another lying cheat. As I said, takes one to know one.
@@SnarkyMarx Yeah, that's b/c insurance is really just a scam. I've paid for decades and never had a ticket or caused an accident until my car was wrecked, and the insurer didn't provide enough money to cover the cost of a equivalent car in terms of body condition and low miles. A different major insurance company.
Yeah, like a good neighbor…
That was my experience with State Farm as well
@@Mexicobeanpole damn you beat me to it.
@@jaelynn7575 Yeah, they have something called "replacement cost coverage" that you have to ask for when you sign up for their policy. I don't think I've ever had an agent offer it to me. I think I've always had to make sure it was included in my insurance policies over the years by telling the various agents to include it. Little note: I learned about replacement cost coverage from a really great boyfriend in my early 20s. He was an ex-race-car driver who took good care of me and my 1968 black Firebird 400. 😊
Does anyone else think President Twins would be a great show? And props to the judge for tearing into the previous Idiot-in-Chief.
Best news ever!
Here’s an idea… Bring your own containers for fast food.
Here is a better one eat something more healthy at home for less cost.
And those thin plastic bags in Produce, bring your own.
Don't think the health department allows that. Otherwise, we'd have been using our own to go cups at coffee shops.
@@LindaC616 Idk. I can bring my own mug into Rick's Place and he fills it up.
If I had a Dutch Bros travel mug, they would fill it, or even my own. Maybe it's different by area.
@@Lyddiebits Starbuck did it for a while here, then quit (even before pandemic, I believe-could be wrong)
Why can't we just bring out own boxes for takeout? I've got boxes.
Because someone is going to hand a shit-filled box to an underpaid McDonald's employee and expect service with a smile
Set my frigging laptop on 🔥 with that burn 🔥🔥🔥
I wish people would stop comparing Trump to a king. When you hear "King" today, you think of kindly old, dignified European monarchs who are largely content to just guard democracy, rather than exercise power. No, Trump wants to be a dictator.
"shortage of truck drivers" i.e. people don't want a terribly isolating, tiring both physically and mentally job, that forces them to spend long time in discomfort, away from their homes and is regarded as a job for people who couldn't do anything else? Real shocker honestly.
Yep plus big truck companies don't want to pay there drivers top pay.
wow.... its almost like working......
Plus random drug test so if u like weed which is legal almost every where so u cant do that ever
I did it for 8 years Coast to coast never again, money was good but at the end it not worth it, all the time you gonna be away from home and missing your family and important dates , just not worth it!!
Also, many people expect self driving trucks in the next decade or so, leaving the impression its not exactly a growth industry…
Saying Trump tried to over turn the election is like saying water is wet.
Breaking news gravity holds us to the ground
Wettest water ever.
This is double true because it’s surprisingly more controversial than you’d think
sand paper is dry
@David Geraldes I bet you the primordial ooze was wet ?
Finally! Someone in the Media has pointed out the shortage of to-go containers - of which we in the service industry have known about for months. I know we are low on the food chain (pun intended) but if you prick us do we not also bleed?
6.2% inflation????
Argentina: Bitch, please. Hold my beer.
