I liked the AI video.
Bigly, Yugely entertaining.
Colbert’s best performance of late....
“This video provides an overview of the roughly 10-year history of the contentious relationship between Donald Trump and talk show host Stephen Colbert. Colbert had a variety show didn’t he?
Before he was on Late Night, he was on Comedy Central where he played a ‘fake’ conservative and he played into every stereotype imaginable...............
Colbert is a disgusting vile evil person. He clearly made bank on pimping the Fauci toxin upon the public. I wonder if he lost his job after USAID was no longer pumping the Samantha Power cash flow spigots to NGO slush funds kicking back dollars.
