Cheeto Hitler has spent all day ranting about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Which can only mean that some giant Epstein news must be close to dropping. He lashes out when trapped. Like the dogs he compares all his enemies to.
I know I’m supposed to be focused and enraged about Epstein, Colbert and the fall of democracy. And I am. But can we stop for one second to believe the unbelievable: Katie Holmes & Joshua Jackson are making 3 movies together! Ok, back to lamenting the end of days..
I’ve never really cared about the release of the Epstein files. But our country mates on the MAGA side of the aisle sure were insistent about it. So, why not have a look-see?
In the past few months, we've seen universities, law firms, entertainment companies, and news organizations all bend the knee to a vindictive president for fear of retribution. If this isn't Fascism, you sure as hell can see it from here.
I know I'm asking a rhetorical question, but... Could you imagine if any other President/ prospective President/ President of the Elks Club posted a fake video of their predecessor being handcuffed? It would be career ending. But with Cheeto Hitler, nothing ever matters.
The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
Over the years, CBS was home to I Love Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Mash, All in the Family, Murphy Brown, Raymond, HIMYM, and Big Bang Theory. So, imagine how saddened I am that the gold standard of tv comedy thoroughly capitulated to the whims of a racist game show…
Even if I knew nothing about partisan politics, I'd know there's no way I'm rooting for the party that's AGAINST Sesame Street.
The defunding of PBS. The cancellation of Colbert. It all puts in stark relief what has bothered me about the entire Trump Era: That the bullies keep winning. I keep waiting for justice to prevail. It has to be coming, right? Right?
It still sickens me to realize that a good man like Stephen Colbert loses his job for criticizing an indisputably bad man like Donald Trump. Some will argue, "that's just the way of the world." But it sure ain't a kind of world I'm happy about.
Obviously, Stephen Colbert is one of the funniest entertainers we have. But if you've had a chance to hear hims speak with Anderson Cooper or Joe Biden about grief and tragic loss, you'd know that honesty, empathy, and grace are his real super powers. CBS, you effed this one up
My son & I were fortunate enough to be in the ESPYs audience the night that Stuart Scott was awarded the Arthur Ashe award. His speech, joined onstage by one of his daughters, was one of the most heartbreaking and one of the most uplifting things I've ever heard. May his memory…
Stuart would have turned 60 years old today, and part of his destiny was raising awareness about the disparities in #cancer research and treatment. Please help us raise $60,000 in honor of his 60th birthday so we can eliminate those disparities forever! donate.v.org/campaign/69885…
Trump demanded that the Washington Commanders change their names back to the Washington Redskins. Can you believe a President is putting his energy on this nonsense? And for no other reason than, he wants to make the name MORE RACIST?
Trump is now demanding that the Washington Commanders change their names back to the Washington Redskins. Don’t be surprised if he also wants Billy Kilmer and Sonny Jurgensen to rotate as QB1.
As always, Trump’s focus is never on lowering food costs, expanding health coverage or protecting Social Security- you know, things make the lives of Americans better. Instead, it’s one ginned-up, race-based fake issue after another.

I feel we owe Coldplay a sizable debt. If not for them, we'd have to spend all weekend looking at photos of Trump's ankles.
Stephen Colbert was 10 years old when he lost his father and 2 brothers in a fatal plane crash. I’m not saying this is why he should still have a TV show. But it is why I’ve always admired his ability to overcome tragedy, and conduct himself with grace and compassion.
It’s so weird people think Trump might be connected to Epstein. Considering he’s written him extensive birthday notes, giving long magazine quotes about their friendship, appeared in a shitload of pictures together, and bragged about their shared proclivities for young women.
I’ll never stop thinking about Stephen Colbert’s beautifully-honest 2016 talk with Joe Biden about Joe’s lingering grief and pain over the loss of Beau. That talk made me a forever fan of both kind-hearted men.

I’d take Trump’s lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal a lot more seriously, if he didn’t sue every publication that’s ever posted a negative article about him. And how many of those lawsuits were ultimately dismissed? I want to say “all.”
I can’t profess to know the Wall Street Journal’s “game.” But it feels like they’re baiting Trump into a bunch of strident denials before hitting him with a whole lot of undeniable.
