Colbert gets a Laugh
CBS TV | Self

Posted on 11/28/2020 1:34:35 AM PST by reg45

I stumbled across the start of Colbert’s show on Friday night. He opened with the Good Bye song from The Sound of Music with photos of President Trump and his people.

The joke is on him! The reason the Von Trapps said good bye to Austria was because the NAZIs were taking over.

Good point! The Nazi analogy is very apropos.

Keen observation. Oh, the irony. The Colbert production squad reached deep into the abyss for that intro material.

Colbert is a guy whose Late Show was dying and there were rumors he was going to be canned before it became a five-year-long non-stop Trump-bashing show.

Now that he’s just going to be a sad apologist for Joe Biden, I’m not sure who’ll want to stick around for that.

Appropriate since we are fighting a totalitarian takeover attempt - something as blatant as the Nazis taking over Austria.

His sister was the left wing nut who lost as a candidate for Congress in Charleston years ago.

It will be President Trump and his supporters who get the last laugh when the Electoral College swings the election to President Trump.

Steve Colbert may be a “comedian,” but every time I see him, he is always angry and never the least bit funny.

The under 35 crowd gets a lot of their political information from Colbert and his peers. They aren't the getting their info from CNN directly, but if some wise-ass comic trashes Trump on late-night TV it has the "ring of truth" to them.

I wish Stephen Crowder had a late-night show, for balance. :)

Most of thee /Dem smartasses don’t know how stupid they all are.

It is as’mutual admiration society’ run by malcontents & jerks.

Most of them make millions a year more than the average working stiff. How much will Biden hammer their earnings with more taxes???

Now, it will turn into a circular firing squad.
