(254 posts)Yep,
I am one of those disgruntled losers from the last election and I think this skit by Colbert is absolutely HILARIOUS!!! Too bad there are some sore winners out there that feel the need to tweet BS...

(844 posts)It's one of the few shows I DVR - and I'm a few weeks behind because it's on late and I often miss it. But I actually enjoy watching it with some remove to see how Colbert reacted in the moment, knowing at least in part how things played out.

(5,103 posts)Dump disses a CBS reporter, is caught wanting to abolish the First Amendment and called it 'Disgrace the Nation" while being interviewed for Face The Nation!
The last one pissed off Colbert who as I recall said that CBS news can't say what needs to be said, BUT! I don't work for CBS news.
Enjoy! I sure did.

(100,068 posts)Poor snowflakes can dish it out but they can't take it can they? And Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, O'Reilly, Nugent, and Savage have said far more vile shit about Obama than Colbert did last night.
They sure like dishing it out, but they sure can't take it.
Colbert last night was absolutely wonderful. They even had Neil deGrasse Tyson on! Colbert & Tyson are great together.

That was such a righteous rant that he might be disciplined for it. However, Dolt's shameful treatment of the CBS reporter interviewing him should have the CBS brass giving up on "access" anyway.
The first network to come out in direct opposition to this raging asshole in the WH will clobber all other broadcast news in the ratings. They have to know that.

(9,865 posts)....about him. Not sure Network tolerates this kind of controversy. He'll probably be made to apologize which will feel terrible to him.
Send him your support. Or better yet, send it to his bosses.

(51,129 posts)And they narrative control force turned it into Trump rushed from stage due to assassination scare! protestor was detained for hours in a men's room and by the time he could speak truth the media had moved on. Trump being rushed from the stage was a complete ruse to cover up the beating of a protestor on the rally floor, including kicking him and grabbing his genitals. Kushner was part of the fake assassination news by tweeting it. Their coordinated response was remarkable and the instantaneous deployment of troll armies to push their preferred media to the fore on Twitter made it near impossible to delve into what was really happening. It took me hours to determine what really happened. This is all on DU somewhere in the archive now though.

Didn't catch the partial faced and oddly named twitter bot brigade until you demonstrated it so clearly here.
