A Damning Op Ed Distracts Trump From A Damning Book
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 09. 2018
- Trump is fuming Bob Woodward's new book, an anonymous op-ed in the New York Times, and probably other things that we'll learn later in future books and anonymous op-eds.

Meanwhile, in an inerview with the Daily Caller, Trump said, and this is a direct quote: "I think it's embarrassing for the country to allow protesters."
I can't even make a joke about this. The President of the United States of America thinks that people exercising their freedom to protest is embarrassing.
That's straight out of the Putin/Kim/Bashir Dictatorship for Dummies book.
I guess that means we all need to go to the WH and Mar a Lago for extra protesting.
But he still can't stop other countries from flying diaper baby..:)))
Another Trumpism to add to the long list of idiotic things the supposed leader of the free world has said. He doesn't know what his oath of office means.
He's a totally abhorrent and disgusting creature in every single possible way. I cannot understate my level of disdain for the tantrum throwing, nauseating man-child that dares to call himself a leader in ANY facet of the word. To even hint about taking away the people's right to protest is as completely disgusting and unpatriotic a statement an American can make, let alone a sitting President. This INSANITY needs to end.
What this guy is saying is that basically a five year old is at the wheel of the bus but passengers shouldn’t worry because there’s always at least one adult in the front seat distracting the brat and turning the bus back on the road. How about you adults don’t let the five year old drive the bus?
Try telling that to the people who voted for that five year old to be the new driver
Same
Remember when we all thought George W Bush was dumb? Seriously. Remember that? Good times.
Yea, that's what makes me think that the Trump "Administration" has been created for one thing and for one thing only, to make Dubya look smart by comparison.
circa dian: I also remember a time when I didn't consume 2 bottles of Tums per day. Good times.
I remember that! I remember a bumbling fool that sat silently in regret, embarrassed by his guilt whilst the plan he conspired to enact was being carried out, killing thousands of innocent people for the sake of enriching Himself and other vermin just like him (i.e Sotoro, the Clintons, Soro's etc.).. Yeah I remember that. Good Times?....
Joseph Hhardslinger: Are you one of those wackos that thinks Bush orchestrated 9-11? Comrade, that's been debunked a long time ago. You'll need to reach a little further into your bag of tricks to find something to get us arguing about. Nice try though. By the way, how's the weather at the Kremlin?
RansomeStoddard: lol, the "Kremlin-ites" weigh in ...
This is ridiculous. INVOKE THE 25th!!!!!
Sure. We'll just get Trump's sycophantic cabinet to okay it--right? Not!
LOL--a whole cottage industry built on nothing more than triggered idiots. I loved reading the triggered comments. Glad we dodged that bullet that was Clinton and 0bama is reduced to the whining impotent jerk! Gotta love eeet! MAGA (Keep the tears flowing, delish!)
Who feels safe that there are adults in the sports car while a 5 year old is in the driver's seat? And they continue to let him drive.
🚗🎢💔
More than that. He doesn't know how the car works and can't reach the pedals, so somebody's in the passenger seat with a stick, flooring the gas pedal because he tells them to.
Maybe the 5 yr old just thinks he's in the driver's seat, like a car seat with a steering wheel. We can hope.
hahaaa
That's a perfect analogy
@@crystalsoulslayer Comment spot on!😅
There aren't "adults in the room". Adults would have enacted the 25th amendment. Adults would tell him "no" to his face. The modern Republican party lacks any moral fortitude.
STEPHEN COALBUTT'S LEGACY WILL BE:MORE TO COME IN THE LINE OF REPAY TO THE LEFTIST OPERATIVE THAT DECIDED LIKE SOME OTHERS TO MAKE A LIVING AS A JESTER. SHOULD WE BE HAPPY AT HIS DEMISE ; YES ;BUT LET'S NOT BE CRUEL AND HOPE HIS END IS QUICK AND PAINLESS LIKE HEROIN OVER DOSING; THEN EVEN HIS MAKE UP STAFF WILL BE HAPPY EVEN THOUGH THEIR WORK WILL BE FINISHED BY THE UNDERTAKER.
I think that they wanted to enact it but you need a majority. There are adults at children's parties but they are definitely outnumbered 3:1. And in preserving his identity: Trump is already panicking to find this guy, if he's fired that's one less person to curb his impulses. You can't be direct with a child that has more power than you, you'd just be fired and he'd find some other subservient patsy.
That’s what I said .. adults would have enacted the 25th amendment long time ago
Looking at this White House's policies that have been passed and the others that have been cancelled, the only thing this "adult" wants is to use Trump as a scapegoat to his/her benefit. There's nothing wrong with the White House politicians (Republicans?), only with Trump, in fact surely the other politicians are the unsung heroes that keep the Trump-ogre at bay.
he's not calling the shots anyway" the omarosa tapes proved this. "they run a big operation"
So let me get this right.....😕trump will study his awful tweets but He won't study the consitution?
Danae Walker u
They tried to get him to read it. He said "This is boring. You know what this needs? More Trump!" They tried to explain to him that it was written 200 plus years ago, but he called it fake news then tried to use it as toilet paper. It's very sad.
Danae Walker
No worries! He will study the next one he has written.
Excuse me (says Trump)... study the what?
are you saying his narcissism comes as a *surprise?*
John Kelly: "The idea that I ever called the President an idiot is not true, in fact it's exactly the opposite." there you go folks, John Kelly just admitted that he called an idiot the President.
Rick Hustwick
Very clever!
Celisar1 - well, it would be if Seth Myers hadn't said it the night before.
@@judioregan4210 yep. Stole it.
Permission to use it, please?
Cheri Ming - go for it. Knock yourself out. 👍
Oh my god Kelly has a form letter for when he gets caught calling Trump an idiot.
You repeated what the show told you. Good boy, have a biscuit.
They go to extreme lengths to stop Trump... but rush to hurry his judicial nominee into the Supreme Court?
I heard a former George W. Bush official talking about how disturbing it is that cabinet members feel they have to subvert a sitting president to keep him from doing bad things-- in a sane world, that would be utterly unacceptable, and may amount an "administrative coup-de-tat". I am afraid, however, that we passed through the looking glass a long time ago. The Bush official said the anonymous official should resign, take five or six senior staff with him, and be as loud as possible about why they were resigning. That's how you traditionally call attention to unacceptable behavior like this.
The official also agreed with Colbert that the 25th Amendment is a remedy, not a crisis in itself. I've generally disliked the idea behind the 25th, but I may be coming around to seeing it as at least a necessary evil in this case. And, btw, we are already in a constitutional crisis, with Trump's attacks on the media and parts of his own administration.
Exactly, the more staff from the whitehouse that resign, and speak out loudly about how ridiculous and amoral this administration the better. Eventually some people will take notice of the people under trump leaving like rats from a sinking ship. Many are too far gone to care but it could reach some others.
There's a "Bag of Hammers" out there that feels insulted by the comparison.
My hammers don't like it.
Fortunately, that same bag of hammer's doesn't have the support of millions of conscientious minds around the world backing their decision to end the corruption that's been inflicting non deserved pain and suffering upon them. Phew.
This would all be hilarious if it weren't happening in the White House.
A grown man needs babysitters. Know why? Dementia. Obvious dementia.
kimberly s with a side of malignant narcissism..
And they have to child-proof the wh so he doesn't do any damage.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder combined with degenerative brain disease, for sure.
Nah. Like the op-ed said, it's his amorality that stems from his malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder and is spiraling into psychosis and paranoia when he doesn't get his way. He desperately wants to be a dictator and wants America to be the banana republic he always believed it was from his privileged and untouchable station of wealth. He is and always has been a horrible excuse of a human being. Dementia has little to do with it.
Yes, but even in his younger years he was at least more composed. Now, he's pretty much constantly flustered, erratic, and temperamental.
Dear Stephen, it was like the Internet died for me when you went on vacation and said goodbye. I was so f'd up, I went to my stupid ex- and cried and cried. Never do that again sir. Thank you much, luv Liz 👄
Oh thank god for Colbert making me laugh when I feel total and utter panic about America! Puts things in perspective.
"Mr President they've traced the resistance....it's coming from the WH! Get out of there...and STAY OUT OF THERE!" LMFAO🤣😅🤣😅
Good one! 🤣
😂🤣😅😆
It's supposed to be a joke, but the majority of Americans literally want that.

MLG HELP k
I haven't had to read this many books since college!!!
2 books? Yeah don't strain yourself.
You got to read your college books? LUCKY!!! Most of us spent 300$/book and didn't open them once for our classes.....
Every night I always get so excited after getting off work and bing-watching late night shows, and I always save Colbert's, the best, for last to relish it.
Adults in the room, with a toddler holding the keys to the gun case.
Every time Trump writes a derogatory tweet I replace the name of the person he is insulting with his own. It's a fun game.
Can politics just be boring again? Please, just normal happy progress so we don't have to freak out all the time and hear bombastic crazy things a madman is saying. This is giving me the thousand-yard stare here!
They never were boring. We were just politically naive.
ignorance is peace in truest senses.
So its ok as long as they are not obvious and no one finds out?
gmmg it’s only going to get worse m8
The scary thing is Trump's irrational behavior will be increased now - not diminished.
It would be better if the source(s) went public and the facts laid bare. This would place the entire problem in the laps of the GOP and they would have to either act, or end America.
They've refused so far -- why should this change things?
VOTE BLUE in November! We outnumber them by the millions. VOTE BLUE!
You don't. A vote for the DNC is equivalent to a vote to let humanity burn for eternity. If you vote for the DNC, expect to live through the horrors of war that you only THINK you can endure. Be careful what you wish/vote for. Do some research.
Joseph Hhardslinger + you have truly drank the Kool Aid didn’t you?

@@josephhhardslinger4090 go stand in the corner again. Wear the duncecap again. You know to be quiet when adults are talking trumptard!
All kidding aside we’re living in a time more dangerous than the Cuban missile crisis
He has access to "the button." Once he figures out that the button is.. not really a button, but he can "press the button" by giving out orders. Shjt is gonna fall from the sky.
I hope this doesn't make him too something stupid. He seems unhinged and unstable.
Having watched the Cuban missile crisis from a distance, I was living in Switzerland at the time, I do not believe Americans realize and understand just how precarious our situation now, is.
My impression is that Trump seems to fly off the handle and do stupid things when he is cornered like this. I hope he doesn't go into a rage and do something like bomb North Korea to distract attention from whats going on in his White house. I will be glad when he is replaced with someone more stable even George W Bush was stable he didn't immediately start bombing people after 9/11 and he didn't retaliate to negative publicity in the press by twitter rants like Trump does. It would be nice to return to stable leadership even if it wasn't that competent.
I’m not so worried he presses the big red button but more that he cuts relations with s. Korea, as it seems he almost did, and invites n. Korea to start ww3
Trump simply can't take criticism at all. The only thing he wants is blind praise.
Also Trump favors loyalty over competence which is a behavior consistent with authoritarian leaders.
DeadlyMargiKarp223 well, when you're constantly critized, you're gonna fight back!
If you do stupid things constantly you would be constantly criticized.
Moses Tekper what has he done stupid, besides tweeting? Hmmmm
John Doe You ask a question that had been documented to Hell and back. Then when you don't get an answer, you say "I keep asking the libtards this question and I never get an answer." It get tiring after a while to give serious replies to people like you who clearly are only here to divert the conversation. And you ask the question as if his tweeting isn't incredibly stupid in it's own right, over and over again.
Dubfansince 1980 hmmmm.. That's right, you can't come up with anything libtard. Why even post anything, when you know you can't answer the question, and know what my response is gonna be. You're not very intelligent!
The idiot king of Mount stupid now that's really a good one and I'm going to have to use it. I just have to.
It’s got to be a military member. No one else who works for Trump has the vocabulary & writing skills to have written that letter.
My money is on General Kelly, as his chief of staff, he sees everything that goes on in that mad White House. Or General Mattis who seems able to scare of the hell out of Trump!
Let’s hope the guy carrying the football is part of this resistance.

LMAO I was suppose to be quietly sitting in the waiting room of drs. office and I interrupted the surinity and calmness with a loud burst of laughter. I can actually pictured this drama featuring John
KELLY. Ha ha ha
I personally would want to thank Trump. Because of him, I've read more books in one year than ever
great news! do you feel like a better person now?
Ha, I guess that’s one upside!
Before it's all over you're going to be a literary genius.
Hope his base can read too
haha. I agree. I was just noticing all my "finished" on my audible account.
I am scared by this. Not reassured at all. This is some stupid person that does not have enough integrity to do the right thing. This person is not treating the American people with respect. We hire them. We pay their salary. They are answerable to us.
How do you suggest that we remind them of this? Nothing has worked so far.
Unfortunately, Trump is not taking the peoples money as a salary. He is paying himself with his own money."Remember?"(or from his Russian friends) so there is "that". He figures he is not answerable to you, the public.
Absolutely Correct rosset4music. It IS a stupid person's attempt to discredit a Man that has sacrificed what could easily have been a life of luxury, to instead fight for the rights of a nation of people. Anyone who imagines that their life would be better off under the DNC has not done their homework.
At least we know Trump's staffers wrote that tweet. No way he knows the word "retribution."
I would really like to see Republicans' excuses for this nonsense 10, 20 years from now.
Steven what happened to your face?
Is Jon Stewart infectious?
COLBERT is stewart's heir, not noah.

I remember the DS spinoff, where he made fun of republicans on Fox News, during the Bush admin. 'Twas glorious. He trolled O'Reilly on his own show
The President's tweet says "Don't know why Washington politicians don't change libel laws." Mr. President, Bob Woodward's book is NOT protected. As I'm sure your lawyers have already told you, you can sue Mr. Woodward for libel right now if you so wish. And you, Mr. President, have ALREADY sued many people for libel. So I'm sure you know this, too.
So, the very fact that your SAYING this, rather than actually DOING it, rather takes the wind out of your accusation. The very fact that you're NOT suing him pretty much tells us that the book is, in fact, NOT libelous. Clearly, far from being libelous, it's right on point!
Rumi900 and the same can be said for the book that details Trumps connections to the Russian mob and money laundering-no suit😅
That's what I'm thinking. If it's libelist go sue. Then crow about as Trump is wont to do. The fact that he won't proceed makes me think that Trump is worried about airing some dirty laundry he doesn't want aired.
The truth of the matter is : Trump could never prove himself NOT AN IDIOT in court.
It is terrifying to know this modern day Nero sits near Nuclear Buttons .
When David Cay Johnston wrote "The Making of Donald J Trump", trump said he would sue, but Johnston said you can't sue if it's the truth. Good book and it's in the Biography section at the library. Woodward has tapes to back his book. I'm buying it when it comes out too.
AFAIK No politician can sue. He is a Public figure so tough nuggies. It comes with the job. As a private citizen, Trump can sue but just because he is holding onto all his businesses it does not make him a Private citizen. So maybe he should be fired so he can get the official boot out of the WH. Then he can sue but only for stuff said after he left the WH. The other stuff is old news and courts do not deal with old news. They CAN INVESTIGATE WHAT HE WAS DOING WHILE IN THE WH, that they will do once he is gone...he has no authority over the judicial proceedings...so he is Damned if he stays and Screwed if he goes.
It was announced today that Simon & Schuster will be publishing 47 new books from White House staff in 2018.

I wish his people would stop trying to protect us..... all they are doing is dragging this circus on and on
They are NOT "protecting" us -- they are covering their own behinds.
Trump’s default reaction seems to be “Treason!”
I believe you meant to Say "Trump's default ACTION seems to be 'treason'"
I'm just waiting for him to spell it "Tre45on" because he read it on twitter and thinks it looks cool.
*It's fine form to have a criminal admit his crime.* 😎😎😎
Dee Oh Dee well he definitely knows all about treason.
Indeed, Dee Oh Dee: He even invoked it for minority members of Congress whom he considered insufficiently enthusiastic at his State of the Union address. If a real President had ever said such a thing, (as if they would!) people from his own party would have started poring over the 25th Amendment that same day, because it would indicate a sudden and serious issue with mental health.
Thanks to the beard, I can now distinguish which of Stephens videos are older in youtube's next-video-window.
I used to look at his glasses. Rimless: old. Black frame: recent.
Pence Must go at the same time as Trump. Call for an emergency election and Without the Electoral College voting.
Sorry Rose but that isn't Constitutional. Never happening. More to the point who would call for the election? The senate? I don't think so, those spineless bastards can't get off their knees in front of trump. It's some seriously fucked up shit we are in.
Sorry about the language but man...
I’m all for trump getting out of the White House but please please please people realize the best way to do that is at the end of his term because if he is impeached we get pence. He is worse. We need to vote them all out at the next election and make sure to learn from this embarrassment and never let it happen again. It’s not a joke it’s the commander and chief and people need to know the facts about these people before handing them
Power like this.
Krista Umholtz You are so right ! I worry about what Trump will do in the next 2 years, but I also worry about what Pence would do. I guess we're screwed for the next 2 years no matter what. How did this happen ? I guess America in general is not very bright. So many facts in front of us that we are just refusing to see! We just don't know how to think for ourselves and make informed decisions. Please God, help us !!
can you tell me what you have learned from this? so that it would never happen again?
Krista,
You are Absolutely Correct !!
We have Always contended that pence is the scary one....
People need to be careful for What they Wish ? The main concern with
potus is, WAR the great distraction
What WAR krista? you guys confuse me so much.. are you talking about a culture war, civil war, conventional war?? please explain this war to me, and which side should good honest decent people fight for?
juni0rRC xD - the military industrial complex determines what war is next. Do your homework. Who is under the boot of the military industrial complex? Politicians who get their money from corporations.
*The Beard thickens*
Ramon, you march yourself RIGHT over here and clean the Mickey D's tea off of my screen!
That whoever this is thinks they are handling the situation themselves is very dangerous - it's outside the rules in place to protect from situations such as this. To think this is okay is basically saying it's all right for anyone to hoodwink the President, any president, so long as that person deems it's for the greater good. That's a very subjective and slippery slope, and to me it's even more alarming in some ways. Doing the wrong thing for the right reason doesn't make it right. I really, really don't want Pence, but if they're really that concerned, they need to do things the right way and BREAK THE DAMN GLASS.
Well what's scary is that it could be pence setting himself up to take the presidency. He could portray himself as the hero who prevented Trump from destroying the country. However, he would have essentially undercut the president to take power for himself. It's almost like staging a coup within the white house. That's scarier to me because that means we have truly lost our values as America.
Excellent point and well put
Thank you, Type R. I'm disturbed that people are accepting this as some kind of improvement. We need to get all of these powertrippers out of office quickly.
100% agree. Now that dt knows, he's going to fire everyone around him. It just made things worse. There's got to be a better way than babysitting an incompetent president and child-proofing the wh.
Totally agree. But I think that couldn't happen with a real president and a real administration. This is happening because the WH disfunctional in a way it never happened before.

Its actually far worse than idiocracy because in that movie, while they were stupid and made serious problems for themselves, they eventually realized they need someone smarter than them to help fix it.

Trump is good for America because it is a powerful lesson showing us what happens when society pays more attention to the NFL or Hollywood, rather than our government. What did we think was going to happen? The Tao Te Ching says " To collect, first scatter... " Nature evolves when stressed. Let this be a lesson we learn from & start putting our time/ energy into things that matter, not endless & mindless sports/ entertainment... Democracy & Capitalism can work, if we hold it accountable & take responsibility like adults.
remember when george w. bush was the worst president of all time? that was cool.
Those seem like good times now
Yeah then there was Obama. I feel you dude
I can't believe you just used a 'Thanks Obama' unironically in the year of twenty eighteen. Can I get a picture with you? My mom loves pictures of outdated things.
nicholas kloster Obama wasn’t worse. He wasn’t the best, but I imagine you were just joking so lol.

so sorry america. is he gone yet?
Not yet. Unfortunately
We're working on it. Get back to you soon. Hopefully this year or at least during 2020 lol. If not then we're screwed until 2024. And if not then he will have refused to step down like a jack ass but he's already pretty old so I don't think we will have 20 years of trump lol. So there's that at least...
Ben t. Matchstick you’ll know it when it happens
It's cute people still think Trump won't go the full 8 years! If the last 2 years have taught us anything it's that there's a lot more racism, sexism, hate, xenophobia and homophobia in America than we all initially thought (and we thought there was a lot to begin with!) Why would they get rid of him when he perfectly represents your average American?

Putin owns Trump. Open your eyes of course unless this is what you want. I am a proud American Mexican.
Isnt he a politician in Washington?! What do you mean the politicians in Washington should do something?! You're the president. It's weird for the president to say "get off your ass Washington."
James W obviously he means the state. (Sarcasm)
James W Per definition Trump can't be responsible for anything unless it's already done and was successful.
It IS weird isn't it? It's almost as if 'Washington D.C' (by which I'm sure you're referring to the SWAMP of narcissistic sycophants that lurk there in a DISTRICT of COLUMBIA) don't actually have to answer to POTUS??? Almost as if there is an entire STATE controlled by something DEEPER??? Like, it's almost as if there is a DEEP(ER) STATE of affairs that is slowly losing its grip on power? I guess you'd call it a DEEP STATE that is challenging POTUS for control of the country??? So weird............
Joseph Hhardslinger are you for real? There is no fucking deep state. There is a seperation of power: The executive: It's businees is to run the country on a day by day basis and to execute laws passed by the legislative branch. The legislature: Has elected representatives that pass laws and control the executive branch. The judiciary: Controls the executive and legislative branch by enforcing the law on the highest levels of government.
There is no one illegaly obstructing the President. There are mechanisms in place to give no person absolute power to make the abuse of power as difficult as possible. Tell me where and who the deep state is. Right now you don't seem to understand the most basic mechanisms of a democratic presidential systems and because you don't understand the basics of the american constitution you simply belive a rediculous conspiracy theory.
I'm 100% 'for reals'. And you can keep that naive view of politics for as long as it helps you sleep at night. How old are you? 12?....
Brilliant, simply brilliant.
There are libel laws.. it's just that no one has disproven nearly anything written about him.. or sued.. because they know it's the truth..
He doesn't want the rule of law (as you point out, the libel law works perfectly well as it is)
He wants to reinstate the divine right of kings, as well as _droit de seigneur_
It doesnt have to be the truth. Trump is a public figure, therefore it would need to be shown that they knew it was false when they printed it. No way that is ever going to happen.
Briar Horn never going to happen because it’s true
BE WARNED ;ADULT MATERIAL CAN BE FOUND BELOW AS IT COMES IN. TRY TO ENJOY IT LIKE STEVEN COALBUTT HAS ENJOYED MAKING FOOLS OF MANY OF HIS AUDIENCE.
Gottenhimfella Is "droit de signeur" the right of the king to bed the bride on her wedding night?
Trump when checking papers at his desk: "Hmm that's strange...I think something's missing here. Where's my Diet Coke!"
And his cheeseburgers
Wait -- first, another cheeseburger, so I can think clearly. . .
+1 i love cheeseburgers too
Don’t forget the KFC!
That doesn’t make sense...
The Don doesn’t drink diet. Only the regular sugar-filled man drink
I'm a Brit and i cant wait for this book to come out.
2:50 This made me think of a humorous short story by O. Henry called The Ransom Of Red Chief.
I think it's multiple people. Pence, one of them
Everyone in the white house. Old white men.
How much of a mindfuck would it be if Mike Pence was the real leader of the Resistance? 😵
pretty sure he is. my guess is he's tired of waiting LOL
There is a really odd word in the piece..lodestar..that pence has been known to use in speeches...just sayin
Hockey Patriot I think it wrote it
I mean, God told him to do it. So he says.
Pence being "the resistance" would be the biggest beard he's had since his wife.
Love your show!
"Welcome to the Late Show, i'm your host Stephen Colbert..."
That is not true! That's Jon Stewart!!!
Dammit, now Spanky knows there are papers he has not seen yet so now he'll be searching for them. What was "high source" thinking?
“They didn’t want him.” 😂😂
Excellent analysis as always.
Dear Sir ; what about the 25th amendment ????? Its time dont you think ?
Melania is the anonymous staffer. She's part of the resistance 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't find one Trump supporter who can say what Trump's done.... Not one. How did Trump win?....
By playing to prejudices and irrational belief in conspiracy theories which, sadly, was more appealing to a large swatch of Americans than I ever knew
Easy, by running in a country as uneducated and yet arrogant as the US. This won't end with his presidency, the US have put themselves up for utter social failure for decades.
Russia
It was Russian propaganda making Hillary look shady by drawing attention to shady things she was doing.
God damn those Ruskies.
Try leaving your echo chamber, and watch some pro-Trump CZcams videos.
Stephen, do you know the Limerick train Station, in Ireland is named after your grandfather, Con Colbert one of our heroes of 1916. I love your show.
Thank Heaven Stephen is back from vacation!!! I can release all this pent up tension from nightmares, from Whitehouse !!!
Y'know what we need, Donnie.. a Cyber Force!
In space!
Well, hell. Let's be honest. Ivanka just *couldn't* put her name on that editorial. Right?
Gregory Von Dare Good one, but Ivanka can't write very well, so it can't be her work.
Maybe she's grown tired of her father making sexual advances at her
No, no, no, Ivanka is the only one we know COULDN'T have done it. The Times said it was "A senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure."
Trump would never fire Ivanka under any circumstances, so her job would not be jeopardized if it was known.
I think it was Pence, no joke.
Yea, it was Pence. Who else ever uses the word "lodestar"?
Colbert went from comedy bit to cold, stark reality. Well done.
Your analysis is both amazing and hilarious
Sleep? I remember sleep... good times.
Haha.. get out of there...run👋🏃♂️no this way➡️🤣🤣
As always, good stuff. 👍👍👍
Excellent monologue !!
Time to break the glass and get the fear extinguisher. Call the fear department so the fear trucks are dispatched.
But remember, if you are trying to deal with it on you’re own for an electorical fear you should try baking soda.
I find malt liquor is pretty good at quenching most home and residential fears.
MORE TO COME IN THE LINE OF REPAY TO THE LEFTIST OPERATIVE THAT DECIDED LIKE SOME OTHERS TO MAKE A LIVING AS A JESTER. SHOULD WE BE HAPPY AT HIS DEMISE ; YES ;BUT LET'S NOT BE CRUEL AND HOPE HIS END IS QUICK AND PAINLESS LIKE HEROIN OVER DOSING; THEN EVEN HIS MAKE UP STAFF WILL BE HAPPY EVEN THOUGH THEIR WORK WILL BE FINISHED BY THE UNDERTAKER.
IT'S A INCH AWAY.
superman superman
Oh, you're fun. I too have seen the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.
Clever one. Thanks.
Thank God Colbert's back from vaca - just in the nick of time!
Truth
After this the president checked a salad for the first time in thousands of years.
I love your show man
Stephen!!! ❤️
What is going on? This country has gone crazy! I cant believe whats happening!!
Stephen Colbert is now Stephen CoolBeard :D :D :D
All hail Steven! All hail Steven!All hail Steven!
The anonymous guy is John Kelly
" I was right to be....😲"
