“. . . we are witnessing mass formation in real time, where the group delusion becomes the only permissible reality.” LH Grey on X.
Stephen Colbert Smootchfest (with Jimmy Fallon, Smoochee).
Last week, Stephen Colbert celebrated his May 21 departure from late-night TV by French-kissing his fellow late-night soul-mate hosts goodbye, perhaps to honor the French origins of the Woke political ideology that guided his rocket flight to fame — Michel Foucault (1926–1984), who argued that power was all that mattered and that you could talk any absurdity about sex, mental illness, and criminality into mass belief. . . Jacques Derrida (1930–2004), who argued that reality depends on how you feel about it. . . Jean-François Lyotard (1924–1998), who denounced truth per se in favor of your truth. . . and Gilles Deleuze, father of gender-fluidity.
So, bonne nuit and au revoir, Monsieur Colbert, and don’t let the CBS screen door bump your a[--] on the way out. Few public figures in our time have done as much damage to the collective mental health of our country than Colbert did in his late-night operations. For instance, the dance routine, broadcast circa April 2021, titled “The Vax-Scene,” when “Joe Biden” and Dr. Fauci rolled out the mRNA products that would eventually maim or kill hundreds of thousands of Americans. Colbert did the shimmy in front of a chorus line costumed as syringes capering to a musical arrangement of the old Latin hit, Tequila (original, by The Champs, 1958). His ignorance about what actually was at stake was surpassed only by his Cheshire Cat caliber smugness. So, what you see in this video is the rectified essence of the demonic idiocy that still animates the Democratic Party. Save it and watch it often to remind yourself what the nation has been battling for so many years. [video at source link]
I was actually a guest on Colbert’s show years ago in its early evening incarnation when the running gag was Colbert pretending to be a right-winger. In the green room before the show, his handlers told me to “not try to be funny because that’s Stephen’s job.” I had just published a novel about what life in America might be like after the collapse of our techno-industrial economy (World Made by Hand). Colbert treated that as a joke, too, of course. He already had the remarkable ability for finding comedy in all the wrong places. By the time Covid came along, he was no longer a pretend conservative; he was an out-front Democratic Party / Deep State propaganda tool.
It remains to be seen how the party can possibly survive the revelations-to-come of its monumental criminality. Sunday morning, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche turned up on Maria Bartiromo’s public affairs show. Maria was in a testy mood, repeatedly telling Mr. Blanche that America has lost patience bigly over the complete lack of “accountability” for the various seditions and treasons launched against the public since 2016, in particular, the obvious treachery so many witnessed in the 2020 election.
Mr. Blanche replied, ““Well, there’s a ton of evidence that the election was rigged. That’s not something the DOJ needs to tell you about. There’s been evidence about that for many, many years. What I can tell you is that we have multiple investigations going on in Arizona, in Georgia — in Fulton County, Georgia. And that’s exactly what we’re looking at.”
Quite so: evidence for many years, by the truckload, and indeed it was only a month or so ago that the FBI turned up at the Fulton County, GA, election records depository building and seized a truckload of ballots and other material related to the Big Switcheroo that the election workers there pulled off overnight on Nov 3, 2020 —because “broken water mains [toilets, that is],” and all. Mr. Blanche might not need to tell the irascible Maria B about that, but eventually he will have to tell the whole country what happened in Fulton County, GA, and Maricopa County, AZ, and Antrim County, MI, and Milwaukee County, WI, and Philadelphia. . . .
It remains to be seen how the stolen 2020 election business might be rolled into the “grand conspiracy” case being pursued in the grand jury convened at Fort Pierce, Florida. It will probably be a major entrée in the smorgasbord of prosecutable turpitudes presently under consideration. Also remains to be seen how half the country that still calls itself “Left” or “Progressive” or “registered Democrat” will greet the news that “Joe Biden” did not win that crooked election, but rather, their bête noire, Donald Trump, won. And not by a slim margin, but by a ton.
And how will all the other authorities across the land, both public and private, deal with the apparent fact that the country suffered under a fake president for a whole four-year term? Congress will have to say something, make some determination. Or the Supreme Court? Or some combo. All the laws passed under “Joe Biden,” and the executive actions taken by him that were not laws strictly speaking, might have to be rescinded, cancelled, including all the many pardons issued under his autopen.
And how will the corrupt, mendacious news media process hard charges of massive and decisive election fraud in 2020? Of course, they never even tried to investigate it, didn’t send a single reporter out to search the thickets, just opened the gas jets to keep the gaslights lit. And they’re still doing it! Only days ago, the disgustingly dishonest New York Times framed their story about the release of Tina Peters in Colorado this way:
Tina Peters, grandmother and Mesa County election clerk, was trying to determine whether a fishy post-election “software update” had wiped the 2020 records out of Mesa County’s Dominion vote-tallying machines. The Colorado authorities, led by Colorado Sec’y of State Jena Griswold, tossed Ms. Peters in jail on a nine-year sentence for examining the machines. Maybe the time is at hand when Jena Griswold gets tossed in jail. Looks like we’ll finally learn the true meaning of the phrase “election denier.”

Never watched Colbert except for one time on a YouTube video just to see what all he fuss was about. I was surprised that some called him a comedian, nothing funny about him at all, just a left wing mouth.
Are there really any “comedians” anymore?
I cannot think of one modern comedian that makes me laugh.
And I could even find leftist comedians, like the late Bill Hicks, funny sometimes.
Can’t miss nuthin’ you ain’t never watched.
There has not been a comedic late night show since Carson retired. They all suck.
I always thought Rodney Harrington was pretty funny, the old “Dice” Clay, Seinfeld maybe.
One exception: Craig Ferguson.
Jon Stewart was the gamechanger. I was shocked to discover that my kids’ and friends got their news from Comedy Central.
Have you ever seen Nate Bargatze?
You watched him one more time than me. Of course, I’ve watched very little tv over the decades and close to zero “late night” tv. But, based on the few snippets of recordings I’ve seen, all these people are so drearily the same and not funny at all.
I’ve had two good rules: live close to work to minimize hours driving and don’t watch tv.
After this, search Youtube by his name.
He has done a movie too, IMHO, great!
Ditto that.
I haven’t watched any of the ones since Carson.
Just blech.
Jeremy Clarkson
Thanks for the ping.
DNI Gabbard is going to release all the evidence of the stolen 2020 elections before she leaves office. And other stuff. From what I read yesterday.
I haven’t watched TV in any form for decades, so these comedians or whatever they are are unknown to me. 😁
Our lives are SO much better for that. I still remember my Opa (German grandfather) calling it the “Idiot Box” around 1959 when I was 8 years old! I never appreciated that until much later.
Of course, I still remember his huge console tv with the electromechanical remote channel changer. “Ka-chunk, ka-chunk, ka-chunk.” A relay and motor would move the channel selector knob mechanically via remote control! So even Opa snuck in viewing now and then.
I’m a Luddite in many ways. Lived without electricity several places, cook from scratch, heal myself and others with herbs. Modern “civilization” has quite a few defects.
