The fact that we're probably going to have a Supreme Court Justice that committed perjury during his senate hearing is infuriating.
THIS IS AMERICA!
We already have one, Clarence that lied during his hearing as well
LMAO all the people claiming BK committed perjury have nothing to say about Ford actually committing perjury
@@ExiledAssassin55 how did she
@rubberbandman3rd Said she called someone on a cellphone after the rape in 1982 but cellphones didn't exist until 1984. Said she went to a safe way store but they didn't exist until 4 years later. Her ex bf said she never had a fear of flying nor claustrophobic. The list goes on and people who have researched it more than I have have a long list against her. Yet all I've seen against BK is people using "urban dictionary" of all things as proof that he lied about slang in a yearbook. It's pathetic really
Before this fiasco I never knew what "boofing" was... Its pretty upsetting that this is how I had to find out.
Same... I have heard of people stuffing all kind of stuff up their butts to get high but I didn't realized it such a common thing that there's already a slang since the 80s.
I was thinking the same thing recently.
I think it's safe to say you've been "boofed"
I am sorry 😞
knottedpandas same... And went anyone things it’s weird that I know this, I just have to say it’s the governments fault.
Just give this show another Emmy, already. Colbert and his team are brilliant. LMAO
*insert Last Week Tonight Here* 😂😂 I agree with you, I feel bad that Stephen loses to John every year!!
"There are no whales in the ocean!"
"We gave the FBI a cup of sea water and they investigated and couldn't find any whales!"
SAD
Richard Owens fake news
perfect analogy
Remember this when they "find" some thing on Trump
That sums it up perfectly
All of a sudden the Republicans love the FBI, if you remember, just prior to this they said that the FBI is a bunch of liars and not credible.
So which is it? This whole investigation smells of a sham, kind of seems like the FBI is working towards what the president wants, for their own sanity, as well as being directed as to what to look at, and what not to look at, considering the amount of witnesses that were not even interviewed. Any investigator, myself included for 31 years, knows , that you search all leads to arrive at a logical and factual conclusion. None of this, this whole thing just stinks.
manbtm - totally agree with you. I’ve got hope that since this “investigation “ was so poorly done, it will ignite this country into action like never before. Just the number of judges and lawyers alone that didn’t want this man installed as SCOTUS tells us all something. First Tuesday in November will be real interesting.
You realize the exact same thing can be said about Democrats, right? Like literally the same thing.
Because the FBI investigation didn't go the way they wanted it to go, suddenly it isn't worth a shit. But when the FBI is showing all kinds of evidence to support Russian collusion, Democrats say" The system works! Aren't the FBI amazing?"
@@SkotKozB5 They actually had the time to gather evidence to support the case of Russian collusion though, as in not just less than a week.
@@SkotKozB5 - The difference is that the FBI that running the Russia investigation is
A. Has a conservative director (aka he's one of the Republicans own), so the evidence against their own party reveals a lack of bias
B. No restricted timeframe, nor do they have to deal with restricted limits on witnesses
C. The evidence is substantial bc the interviews of this investigation were lengthy & thorough
^compare that to only a 5 day investigation that had limits on how many & who can be interviewed---even excluding interviews of the main parties involved: Ford and Kavanaugh! So it's reasonable to find it insufficient. I'm not a Democrat, and even I can see that. It was lazy, sloppy, and way too restricted. It was just put on for show and done in such a way that nothing can be gleaned from it, just so that the confirmation can move forward. This whole thing was a sham on both sides, but moreso on the Republicans end. Especially bc they had a huge list of conservative nominees to go with, and instead they chose to go with Kavanaugh, who is as slimy and vindictive as they come.
@@YourMajesty143 Ah so we're just gonna ignore the 6 other thorough investigations into Kavanaugh and assume that this one wasn't thorough enough because...what? A bunch of jew witnesses came forward after the investigation was underway?
And if I recall, the week time limit was set during the hearing. And they finished in 6 days.
Not good enough though. When it took less time to investigate Anthony Weiner, no one said anything but now that it's Kavanaugh there's a problem? Right.
THE best Gregory Peck impression I’ve ever heard.
I'm disappointed it didn't get a bigger reaction. I was laughing immediately!
You should see him in the old Dana Carvey Show sketch! Best Peck impression ever!
Utilizing your 1st amendment rights are antics and hijinks? Republicans self-righteous indignation is utterly repugnant. Best teach these public servants a lesson on who is the boss in November.
Republicans worship the second amendment, yet seem not to care too much for the one that comes before that one.
Trump thinks protesting ought to be banned...
America, try unplugging and plugging back your country it might just work.
Yes, a hard reboot is definitely warranted.
I did try unplugging and plugging. After I run america.EXE I keep getting the message 'constitution.DLL not found'.
I tried, but there was a bunch of old crazed white men surrounding the plug yelling at people incoherent things and swinging their walkers and canes at anyone who gets close enough to almost touch it.
I think it's too late, the Russians have hacked us and the America file is now corrupted...
The replies to this comment so far are hilarious. It’s good, we need a laugh every now and then during these times of darkness.
“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.” - Douglas Adams
Remember the POINTS that are most important! Kavanaugh is anti gay rights, anti Roe V Wade, against the consumer protection agency, and against net neutrality. The assault is just crap on the bad nominee selection.
A lot to go through to read a report that essentially says "We asked the bush outside our office, and it didn't report any impropriety."
"We asked the Bush outside our office, and it reported: 'Mission Accomplished'" FTFY
A burning bush, no doubt.
That was Sean Spicer still hiding in it.
I wonder if the Israelites ever thought to ask Moses to describe the burning bush. "Hey, Mo. Can you describe it? What shape were the leaves? Did it smell like pot? Did you inhale?"
To quote Obama, "Don't 'boo'...vote"
You are completely wrong. Polls are the exact opposite of what you are saying for independent voters. I have attached a generally right leaning business insider article for source. www.businessinsider.com/polls-trump-approval-rating-midterm-elections-2018-9
VOTE
I don't understand what you mean by "zero evidence". This isn't some random, wild accusation, this is someone who came forward and destroyed her career in order to confess to a deep seated trauma inflicted by a man. And what investigations are you talking about, exactly?
OMG - you actually admit to quoting the most Corrupt president in USA history??
CSB K, This "innocent till proven guilty" argument by republicans and trump doesn't apply here. We aren't tryin to jail Kav (unless the evidence would inspire a prosecutor and is criminal). We are making sure the proper people get put on the highest court for decades, ultimately deciding this country's destiny. We the people cannot vote them out once they are in. They are to be held to a higher standard than just about any other human being on earth. Brett knew that going into it that he would be scrutinized.
This shit makes me feel sick to my stomach. What has happened to us? 😞
Money is what happen
We done boofed.
The truth is FINALLY GETTING OUT how evil and corrupt the Democrat party really is. # WALKAWAY.
Extreme far-left ideology is what happened
I am legitimately sick to my stomach. My "friend" (a friend with benefits actually) first told me about this Kavanaugh case, and he told me this was the democrats playing dirty politics and that Kavanaugh is probably innocent and the democrats are just using Ford. I wake up the next day, see the news for myself, and now I'm deeply disgusted with and disappointed in this "friend". Perhaps also I am disappointed in myself for even keeping him as a "friend" for this long. I feel trapped, Idk why really though. I just feel nauseous and it gets worse when I read the news and watch youtube vids for updates, and my health is terrible, I feel sick all the time and it doesn't help to see the news when you're sick and nauseous. 😷😓 There's no way i can unplug from this news either. everyone is talking about it.
That was a genius imitation of Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. God I love Stephen Colbert.
Too few watch old movies to appreciate the talent in that parody.
Ikr. First the frog eye shuffle, then that. I lol'd till I thought I might die :D
I thought so too! He nailed it! It's too bad we're marveling at that performance, while an equally impressive act of caring about the truth is being performed by those in power.
mightymissk His impressions are always hilarious. He had me at Chuck.
It was priceless.
Wait so people thought there was a chance he wouldn’t be confirmed? 😂😂😂
In the name of God , do your duty indeed. I know if this was a pizza hut delivery job interview they would by now have scrapped the guy for being associated with a sexual assault accusations
The Democrats are not tough enough to block Kav's nomination... we need Michael Avenatti to step up and start regulating... I'd be honored if some fellow concerned citizens would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of 80s/90s classic songs on my channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Radiohead, Pete Townshend, the Verve, Phil Collins, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Pizza hut is serious business though
+ Apurva The allegations may never be provable - the limited 5 day investigation being irrelevant - but Brett's behavior in reaction to them last Thursday was disqualifying. Imagine challenging, evading and outright lying to a Pizza Hut interviewer. Short interview, renewed job search.
@@theterriblepuddle1830 absolutely agreed - innocent until proven guilty. Although the standards at which we are considering a supreme Court nominee should not be compromising ones - not when there can be much worth nominations
Thats the problem its only an accusation.
My Google searches for a vague memory of a TV show that I saw as a kid results in more information than what the FBI could gather in 5 days.
Christian Black I totally feel this comment. Like “witch movie 1990’s Boston” and I literally found it in fifteen minutes of searching.
LITERALLY. Yes, im sure the FBI is either: (a) incompetent, or (b) biased. How else am I going to be right?
Im curious, what was the movie? 😂
When is a report not a report? When it never really took place and then “boof” it’s gone!
I'm not American, but it seems you need to do some serious blue voting over there. Serious.
Make America Saner Again

I plan on doing my part!
Our politics has made us depressed & anxious. The best part is, thanks to money in politics the will of the people has been objectively show to not be reflected in congressional elections, so there's no clear road to fix the problem -- & thanks to republican healthcare policies nobody can afford therapy, so there's no clear road to coping in a healthy way.
So we're doing fine.
@@dr.zoidberg8666 ya thanks to that Satanist George SOROS.
Nope, Keith. It's not thanks to any one individual, it's thanks to the greed of the rich & powerful in general.
If you want to really place blame, the republican party significantly outstrips the democratic party in sheer scale of political donations from the rich & powerful. That being said, both parties have largely sold out with only a handful of individual congresspeople refusing to take bribery.
What we need is a constitutional amendment to ban all private money in politics -- but the republicans will convince people that publicly funding our own nation's politics is communist or socialist totalitarianism & convince lots of people to consistently vote against their own interests.
@@dr.zoidberg8666 good then George Soros can't give. $ 3. Billion to the corrupt Democrat Regime.
The old geezers gotta go. Vote them out!
All of them. Every. Last. One.
People who prefer emotional arguments (liberals) over logical arguments (conservatives) need to go.

Oh, yeah? Prove your statement: emotion = liberals, logic = conservatives, or eat shit and GTFO.

You think that makes you sound smart?
Stephen Colbert should play Atticus finch of they ever did a remake of To kill a mockingbird
Drump may be a teetotaller, but he tweets like a drunk, he talksh like a drumpf.
This has to be rock bottom, except I thought we were there in the first week of 45. since then , we've been digging down. Please america, make this end.
The release of this FBI report reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "“But the plans [substitute FBI report) were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
All credits to Douglas Adams, who crafted the above lines.
Beware of the Leopard, indeed.

Cheers to Douglas Adams! If I see a couch randomly popping in and out of existence, I'm definitely riding it to a better time.
At this point, I'd trust the VOGONS to run the country better.

"Have you ever thought about going into advertising?"
That was one of his best monologues ever!
That Gregory Peck impersonation was great.
I love how angry these republican grandpas act over Bret, when they wouldn’t even give Merrick Garland a hearing... such hypocrisy...
They should be confronted with that name constantly.
These grandpa's are much wiser than you are.
@@jasonkangas8469 of course they are. Hypocrisy requires a certain cognitive power level.

*_L I K E B E E R ?_*
Because a man who was nominated was accused of an attempted assult 2 weeks before he was to be voted in? And thats not suspicious? Nothing seems weird to you? The fact that they held her letter for months and chose carefully when to release it AGAINST her will is ok? How about none of her witnesses giving accurate information that you can watch for yourself? And the total lack of evidence against him? Ya, those darn republicans, needing proof to convict someone, assholes right?
😨😖
More like, Devil's Triangle - Colbert, Kimmel & for the 3rd, a rotation of Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah, Bill Mayer and Rachel Maddow on Sundays.
Kkk
if there will be another movie adaptation of "To Kill A Mockingbird," I want Steven Colbert to play Atticus Finch. If he isn't casted for that role, I'm rebelling
I might Rebel anyways Depending on how much further our country heads down the crapper.
Hell, I've had more thorough investigations to find the remote.
Stephen Colbert and his writers are genius.

“So all my tea tasted like hot and spicy beef” is such a beautiful line 😂
Attemted rape is just " hyjinks" to these old codgers. How could they ever understand being pinned down by someone bigger and stronger and not being able to breath and afraid of death?
Cue 1st Amend well I highly doubt miss ford and miss sweatnik know what that is like either considering they are so obviously lying
That's Lindsay Graham''s dream.
@@angusalexander5990 idiot.
They've been pinned down by their own fears and insecurities their whole lives, as is the case for most politicians. They hunger for power to compensate for deep-seated insecurities.
Thanks for having insight Angus. There are so many sheep blindly following the Democrats agenda. The entire process would have been thrown out of a court of law. No evidence just hearsay from a sociopathic woman named Ford .
Just wait until November, I’ll never let 2016 happen again without me saying I voted.
CHICKEN KURRY the country is in way better shape than 2 years ago. The economy is at record highs
Good for you!
Have fun during Trump's second term!
@@alexkrasnic3850 - We won't see the effects of Trump’s policies on the economy until he's left office. It takes time for economical changes to take effect. The economy as it is right now is as result of policies put in place during Obama's time in office.
+ Julie W. limit free speech? How? Go to the UK or Australia. They have limited freedom of speech.
Remember, folks....they DO vote. We have a tendency to stay home and say "my vote doesn't count". Well their vote IS counting...cuz they cast it.
Agreed democrats need to be more aggressive if they want to win.
And it was the despots that drove people to vote against the democrats.
Seriously what did you expect? Labeling everyone racist and yet you keep criticizing white people.
Tonight, Brett Kavanaugh got to write a Wall Street Journal OP-Ed on how wonderful he is and powder puff family interviews on Fox News. Tonight wouldn't be the first time a drunk promised never to do it again. While tonight Dr. Ford gets left in the dust.
We're in uncharted territory. I didn't know that a Supreme Court nominee could submit an op-ed piece before his confirmation vote. Isn't that 'campaigning' for a post. *Tweeeet!* Foul on the play, "behavior unbecoming a judicial officer", 15 yards!
This is what injustice feels like, when a piece of sh*t thinks he's entitled to everything.
It breeds contempt for the law.
WSJ owned by Murdoch. The man who made Faux News what it is.
This seems funny and we talk about it, but the truth is that this behavior that we are seeing from our government is affecting our confidence/trust. It affects our standing with other countries. I wish we had more forethought about this. I wish we understood how fragile the existence of a nation is.
People who didn't vote in 2016 only have themselves to blame. They took our democracy for granted. If the Republicans win this round by confirming Kavanaugh, then I hope the silver lining is that it's a wake up call to the rest of America. Get the eff out there and vote if you don't want sh*t like this to happen again.
Stacy DeLoach very well said
@Stacy, I wish more of us gave a damn about the nation instead of about our political party or the fiasco that now defines Washington D.C.
If the Blue Wave DOESN'T happen in November, then God have Mercy on your souls, because your government sure as HELL won't.

P koblenz lol another American who thinks ..what?? there are other countries ;) the point is pretty clear to me
So we can all lie under oath now right? Right?!
It discredits our entire system. You can lie under oath multiple times and still get a seat on the supreme court with no punishment. It makes our judicial system look like a disgrace.
@@Avenger222 exactly. The supreme court justices are supposed to be above reproach.
Well Bill Clinton tried it once. Didn't really work out for 'em..
@@winser21 ah, when Republicans had the moral high ground and lies still mattered.
Lol it's unfortunate you have no concrete proof that Brett lied under oath isn't it?
It’s like the murderers joining the search for the body to throw off suspicion. All for show.
@CanadianLoki76 Prettttty sure he's talking about the Republican senators and not the FBI.
Michael Haneline it’s as if English wasn’t their first language... 🤔😂🇷🇺🐸
@CanadianLoki76 Once again I have a hard time being sure if someone on the internet is just that ignorant or just trolling. Saje was very clearly implying that the Republican senator finally caving and calling for an FBI investigation (while making sure it was limited past the point of usefulness) is effectively the same as a murderer who joins in the search for the body to throw off suspicion. They don't actually want anything to be found. A more apt simile might have been a murderer who publicly calls for police investigation into the murder while sabotaging that investigation behind the scenes, but in either case I don't get how you can come to the conclusion you did without some willful ignorance.
@@MichaelHaneline are you saying the republican senators gang raped Blasey Ford? Cuz if you're not, you have no simile, and neither does the op, so shut your hole already.
Amazing that you clowns think y'all are the intelligent ones.

There was a time when 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale were fictional. Republicans mistook them for guide books.
"The right is farthest away from totalitarian regimes to support he importance of individualism and pursuit of happiness" Is that why they want to criminalize abortions and give women less options?

it was a warning for the rest of us. evil will always happen we just have to read so we can see when things go down hill to wake up and speak up
This made me smile!
Insightful & Deep retrospect. Thanks.
eddydelo - I love that you jump to abortion. You say "give women options," but what you really mean is, "give women the ability to legally murder their offspring, typically for their own convenience."
OMG, this guy is so funny!
Thank you so much, Mr. Colbert, for helping the world deal with the present US political madness.
That was an imPECKable impersonation, Stephen
They truly have forgotten they work for us.
Yes , it's all about power and money ....
Ughh White women voted 70% for Trump. They are working for us. Trump 2020
Darklordofcats: Well, there's an answer for that: get someone else, who will.

Only way to remind them is at the voting booth. One thing about Trump, he has truly shown me the importance of voting for more than just the President. Insane. Major wake up call.
He lied under oath!!! He's out!
Dak Lamerbusch - well, that's how the present incumbent got into office, so acting like a spoiled brat must be a prerequisite for the GOP. Loving Colbert's old bugger bit - bloody funny! 😂😂😂
They don't care...he'll be in..."the math" that Stephen did is correct. Trump won't be disappointed, the ass kissers will go on with the scripted reality show as planned.
Dak Lamerbusch being accused of sexual assault and having your crayons stolen are very different. If someone accused you of sexual assault would you like and be gracious to that person?
Lance Charles YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT
Don't need ford or other current testimony . His lying before the Senate is on record. 2004, 2006, 2009.
This is not okay. Vote.

Why do you always use idiotic underlings to create a puppet rule? Never works out well and you should be able to see into future enough to know that I'm right about that.
But one of your engineers is a Rebel sympathizer. And he built a critical flaw into Kavanaugh so that if he boofs a proton torpedo up his exhaust shaft, it will create a chain reaction that will destroy him.
As satan would!

Impeach and imprison. And while you are at it...do the same with Kavanaugh. They need to redo the FBI investigation the second they get rid of Donny. The truth and justice should matter.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 Its still is the punishment for treason. Problem is donny corrupted the courts now like how nazi Germany started.

Donna Campbell THIS is why You shouldn’t “just believe” it eliminates due process and it ruins lives!

How can you be a supreme court judge when the world knows you as #Boofmeister ??
Oh yes he wrote something embarrassing when he was 16.... how disqualifying
Spark of Liberty, how about when he lied about it to congress last week, does that count? Or his partisan rant when being considered for a job where impartiality is the most important quality?
Spark of Liberty the results of your actions follow you for the rest of your life. Consider that, maybe.
Wouldn’t be bad if he didn’t lie about it.
Rider Kelton in all fairness, look at our President.
What the hell man ? how do you investigate a case without actually interviewing the perpetrator and the victim . Question : does a supreme court judge have immunity from past, non judge related actions ?
Because they already testified before the committee...why would they make them tell the same stores again...if you're going to ask questions ask good ones like why won't Dr. Ford grant access to the documents in which she allegedly names Kavanaugh to her shrink
Even though they testified before the committee no investigator worth their salt will go and watch video tapes instead of interviewing both parties , in fact they would do both to ensure the details remained consistent stayed the same.
Also releasing your shrink's notes to a bunch of partisan morons will put scrutiny over every single thing you said in confidence and emotional state that is protected by law., Better question is why a candidate for supreme court does not want to disclose if he met with the presidents legal team to discuss the Mueller probe th-cam.com/video/h5yYm98kCIo/w-d-xo.html
@@johnr8820 Let's also not forget she changed the date of her attack 5 times, all 4 of her witnesses denied her story under federal penalty, she was in direct contact with the Washington Post yet claimed she wanted this matter handled privately, she can't remember who drove her to and from the party, in her testimony she stated immediately after the assault she ran out of the house crying but changed her story under cross examination when confronted with her best friends statement explaining she remembers leaving the party with Ford laughing, Ford then went on to correct herself saying half way down the stairs she collected herself and didn't tell her best friend what had just happened because she didn't want her to worry.

The day after Senator Feinstein received the letter she called Ford the next day and immediately advised her to take a polygraph test and seek lawyers all while Brett and the Republican party had no knowledge of these allegations and wouldn't for 40 days. There's only two people who could've leaked that letter, Feinstein or Ford. All these people demanded an FBI investigation and when said investigation started revealing there was no evidence to support Ford's claim or the other accusers the FBI was labeled corrupt. Kavanaugh has been in politics for 26 years and has undergone 6 FBI investigations granting him the highest security clearance a person can have working in the government granting him access to our nuclear missile codes. If Democrats truly believed this man is mentally unhinged and is incapable of having so much power in the Senate where was the out cry when he held a position that came with the responsibility of handling something that could start a WW3 or end the world as a whole? This entire case has been a horrible shit show. The media as well as the Democratic party have thrown aside one of the most fundamental ideals our country was founded on and that's, "Innocent until proven guilty." Every sexual assault allegation should be taken seriously and the accuser should have their voice heard, and the accused deserves that same respect as well. I'm a victim of sexual assault and this debauchery is a slap in the face to all real victims. The ones who've been sexually assaulted and the ones falsely accused.
Look first of all she gave the notes to WaPo so I'm sure she'd have no issues giving them to the FBI, secondly "all 4 of her witnesses denied her story under federal penalty..." no they didn't. For one none of them said it didn't happen... each & every one of them said they couldn't remember said event happening which is not the same thing. Two of those people would have had no reason at all to remember what was to them just some random party back when they were teenagers because they weren't aware of anything having happened [if it did.]
Secondly, despite the clever attempt at Mark Judge to confuse people with his "under penalty of felony" to make them think of "under penalty of perjury" but he wasn't giving a statement under oath so perjury would not apply. However, a lot of people have said 18 U.S. Code § 1001 would apply & that is what he is referring to, but that's incorrect as well. If you read the text of that law www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1001 him saying he didn't remember any event such as the one described they would never in a million years be able to prosecute him under that law.
Those inconsistencies is exactly why the FBI should have interviewed, at the very f-cking leas, Dr. Ford & Judge Kavanaugh.
@@aaronhoy3410 Okay so I stand corrected, you're right. They didn't deny her allegations under federal penalty, I shouldn't have said something that reckless without looking further into that statement especially in a political debate but I made a mistake and I'll own it.
just curious what Mr Kavanaugh has in
mind when he says "what goes around,
comes around." that has more than a whiff
of resentment-fueled judicial revenge
An Iowan: Yeah, sorry about Grandpa Chuck. We've been considering putting him in a home for a while.
mockingmashpotato He gave the senators 5 minutes to interview a sexual predator and allowed the predator to use up 4 minutes of that time by telling him take your time and answer.The old angry arrogant geezer quickly cut the democratic senators off even though they had hardly started their questions.
Grassley needs to be let out to the grass now.
The right wing may not like Stephen colbert,but you can't deny
He got style.
Oh, they deny it. They deny reality itself, substituting their own, in which Justice is arbitrary, and facts are fake news. No Harry Potter reference is going to save us from that.
I liked Colbert in the early episodes when he had monologues about honesty and "the pressure to pretend". And I really liked his skit/stunt with Bruce Willis.
But in the recent years he has grown cranky, predictable and boring. His show is like a good beer that has stood open for too long and is now stale - You know it was good when it was fresh and it is sad that the potential was wasted.
Instead of taking the show and making something special out of it he is just another generic late night show that you can watch if you have absolutely nothing interesting in your life to spend your time with.
This "innocent till proven guilty" argument by republicans and trump doesn't apply here. We aren't trying to jail Kav (unless the evidence would inspire a prosecutor and is criminal). We are making sure the proper people get put on the highest court for decades, ultimately deciding this country's destiny. That's what we are doing. We the people cannot vote them out once they are in. They are to be held to a higher standard than just about any other human being on earth.
Innocent until proven guilty isn't a "Trump thing". It's an American standard of justice. You want mob rule and assumed guilt? Move to Mexico, you'd be right at home
it's not about justified, it's about doubt. When somebody said his tax form has no problem but don't wanna release his tax returns, we should not vote him to be the president . we should vote somebody else.
Most people who voted for Trump simply couldn't stand the left. This is a prime example of why. No concience. The left is a hideous hateful ideological creature whose followers think they are good people.
Rob C - i used to be a liberal.
Rob C - okay interesting. I'm actually a non-white STEM professional but a secret Trumptard if you will. Trump is cathartic. He is the opposite of the extremely controlled PC crowd that i am surrounded by on a daily basis, who i actually like but just wish were more open minded. I long for people to simply say what's on their mind whatever their creed, race or lifestyle may be, so that honest discussions can be had and long term solutions can be reached. Logic does not work with the libtards. Fire needs to be fought with fire. Trumptards do come with a variety of political affiliations but i'd say disillusionment is our most commonly shared trait.
That's ridiculous. we paid for this report! We should be able to read it.
Even the democrat senators said there wasnt anything in it
If so ever greater reason to let the public read it. If you protecting peoples privacy then I can see why you would keep it secret. But if there is nothing there then why not let everyone read it?
(Now I am guessing that the report is not saying much as the FBI got a very weak mandate during a very limited time frame.)
Ya. But if your a libral you won't like what the FBI report says. It totally & completely exonerated Kavanagh from all these fallacious accusations .!!!
Like it or not does not matter does it? I mean if the Libs do not like it then why stop them from reading it?
Have they given there reasoning why the report is so hush hush?
Shut up, slave!
These are the same senators that when everything falls apart they wash their hands of responsibility and leave us to fix the problems they and their coperate overlords created.
As ALWAYS told Only like Stephen Can😂
Even as we speak, I'll bet there are about 12 authors [i.e. published writers] who are planning to write a book in which ALL the witnesses will tell their version of what had happened. Don't be shocked if their version is SLIGHTLY different from the FBI/Grassley/Grahan/Trump/McConnell fairy tale .
There is never a time in a democracy to stop protesting. Dictators want you to give up. Dictators want you to relent. But Americans never give up!
Jorge Johnson What has Trump done that makes him a dictator? I see people call him that all over, but policy-wise his presidency has been pretty alright. He’s doing normal conservative stuff. If doing something you don’t like makes him a dictator, I think that’s something you’ve gotta sort out for yourself.
If that was true a citizens army would have risen up, broken into the baby cages and put those kids into hiding while they busted into the prisons holding the kids parents.
The American people are complicit.
Do you know how are political system is constructed?
It's not complacency, its work.. You can't fight for a cause in a two income household with kids to watch over.. Look at the demographic chunk up
So if the tables were turned "Democrats in the White House and majority in Senate" Should Republicans start protesting? I mean for what they belive in of course.
Just waiting for "Supreme court nominee and Angry Bird"
How long has Stephen been sitting on that amazing Gregory Peck impersonation?!
I thought everybody talked like that back then.
I always pictured them talking like Teddy Roosevelt or William F Buckley
Bully!!!
He did it on the Dana CArvey show
Matt Katch - damn fine wasn't it. And I love his old bugger bit, especially when he scuttles past camera. Hysterical! 😂😄😂😄😂
I know! RIGHT? That was friggin GREAT!
I found Brett Kavanaugh’s claim, that the process “destroyed his family,” strange. Ask yourself: if your partner heard an untrue rumour about you, and you explained the truth, would your relationship be destroyed?
Mine wouldn’t. My partner would know who is telling the truth and so would my children by my words and reaction. If for some reason they were not satisfied (partners do lie), I would bring forward whatever evidence or witnesses necessary to show them the truth.
If you watched his wife's face, during all his pathetic shouting and whining and crying like a kid who was denied a popsicle, you could see she KNOWS HE IS LYING! Sadly, for her, he was still so furious when he finally got his sorry ass out of that farce in the hearing - he went home and made her pay dearly , for HIM DISGRACING HIMSELF! She is basically trapped in a relationship with a shouting, raging, abusive piece of crap. While it is easy to despise the creep - I truly feel very badly for the situation she has to endure.
Is that even what Republicans mean by "destroyed is family?" I thought they might mean that his family can't lead a normal life any more because they are associated with someone who is the focus of a scandal. Why must people be so vague?
@@laurabeaudoin3335 how do you know he made her pay lol? So random.
Laura Beaudoin You sounds like the epitome of reason. I’m sure that’s exactly what happened.
Really, though. He just meant his family can no longer live a normal life and will likely face harassment for just being related to him. I feel terribly for them.
Laura Beaudoin
That is quantum level of bullshit
Let me start by saying, I do not identify as a Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal.
Where is the honor? Where is the honesty? Where is the noble intent that these offices are SUPPOSED to hold most sacred?
Wether the judge (in a drunken state or not) did these things or not, I don't think we'll ever know.
However, his attitude, behavior and outright deception,, is abhorrent and absolutely beneath the job that he is being offered.
The absolute partisan behavior and attitudes of some (if not MOST) of OUR representatives is Shameful at best and unlawful at worst and definitely NOT representative of MOST people that I talk to.
I believe our system is broken. We have a TWO party system that spends most of its time fighting AGAINST each other rather than FOR anything. The ONLY thing that the two parties seem to unite AGAINST is the creation of a third party that could possibly break up the constant stalemate. BOTH parties are beholden to their largest "contributors" which have little too nothing to do with the 80-90% of us that have to listen to the constant smear campaigns and soon to be broken promises. Usually based on the last big story in the partisan news/social media platforms. And most horribly, anyone who does get elected that doesn't clearly pick their side and "play the game" properly is very effectively blocked from accomplishing anything or having a voice until the next election. Does any of this seem honorable, honest, noble OR representative of the principles this country was founded on?
If we don't change our broken system from within, someone WILL come and change it FOR us.
A house divided, can not stand.
I am so tired of our Kabuki Theater government.
Kabuki is at least entertaining, and has a deep cultural history. This is just frightening.
Vote them out!
I have forever lost faith in our government and the Justice system. I'm no liberal but this country is being run by one party and not two any longer. long live democracy
This happened to me roughly in 2001.
Drew Babos It's being run by the Republicrats. 😣😔
There is way too much hostility between both, like civil war is gonna break out any moment
+hippiecheezburger America doesn't have revolutions, it has civil wars. there must be a better way
I wish fiscal conservatism didn't have to be conflated with being an evil douchebag who hates everyone but rich white men. Sometimes the government needs fiscal scouring...but when it comes at the cost of your country's soul...it isn't worth it. And that's just wrong.
That was one hell of a Gregory Peck impression at the end. I'm glad Stephen got the chance to pull that off, because it can't come up very often.
They just want the confirmation before November 6th so that they can confirm him without question. They don’t care about the allegations, and even if they did, they would rather have him in the court than do something about it 🤷🏼♂️
Just now had a flashback to reading Tarzan and the Antmen when I was a kid.
They do whatever little man and creepy mcconnell tell them to. They play like they are “conflicted” then do what they are told.
If you are tired of liars, cheaters, hypocrites, and sneaky tactics....VOTE BLUE!
Susan Collins is a phony hypocrite. She knew how she was going to vote a long time ago but she always plays this game and then does what she is told to do.
"get off my damn lawn!" (Pulls his pants)...OMG! I'm dying!...
Kudos on yer Atticus Finch there, Stephen.
Those old senators and the supreme court - first they’ll ban abortion, then they’ll ban dancing and fun music (like Footloose).
Q: In which state is Mooseknuckle, USA?
A: The high-pitched state, twin town to Cameltoe in Atomic Wedgie county.
Stephen’s impression of an inconvenienced, crotchety, old man is so hilariously accurate I think it’s possibly my favorite thing he’s ever done.😂😂😂😂
Hilarious. Not the monologue though that was funny. Your country. America is a laughing stock.
S D poor America(ns)
It has been ever since Agent Orange was elected.
John mccain would have voted NO
Sad but true.
Think again
Doubt it, he was still a Republican.
Doubtful
No he wasn't, he was pro Iraq war, he would've jumped for joy at the idea of invading Iran, he was pro tax cuts and his voting record on women's rights was shit. He is against abortion (which is a big reason Repubicans are so excited for Kavanaugh), he voted against planned parenthood schemes and bills protecting women from being denied healthcare based on their 'beliefs'. He wasn't for trying to reduce the pay gap and there is a history of quite misogynistic remarks he has made including insulting Chelsea Clinton's appearance a shitty rape joke and a few racist 'jokes' too. Fuck that guy.
You should have won the award! I love John Oliver but it's been all about you this year for me
Genius at work! Stephen at his funniest while at his smartest while at his truthiest!
How long before Wikileaks gets a copy of the report? Hopefully they let us all read it before the midterms...
@Dan A LOL. Wikileaks won't leak anything GOP related. Assange confirmed in an interview that they had dirt on the GOP but wouldn't release it. Wikileaks is anti-America.
sadly i thought wilileaks was bipartisan but not after the 2016 election
@@Avenger222 oh I know but it is a fun way to point out the fact that they are a GOP tool. My other comment was going to be Russia if you have anything on Kavanaugh now would be a great time to release it. But remember the GOP had nothing to do with the leaks. Lol
@Dan A Ah, fair enough!
Best GREGORY PECK impersonation ever!
Moose-knuckle Junction... That's a drinking game, right? Like Devil's Triangle.
Minus all the disgusting actions of a potential SCOTUS member, I think that congress members have forgot that they work for US, the people. I think we need to come together, find common ground, and work against the people who are supposed to have our best interests at heart. I think that we are attacking each other and not focusing on the real issues here.
How? We have no real power. Our vote won't make much of a difference unless they aren't being funded by those who do have a say in our Government. We don't have the money to do it, like the Wealthy.
I think those sleazy congressmen have never worked for the American people-- it's always been about themselves. If they had an iota of decency in them, they would be ashamed of themselves and would never have supported this lying piece of crap Kavanaugh.
Jon Batiste may not have the best verbal commentary as a talk show band leader. But I *live* for his musical commentary. Perfectly on-point, and I love how it eggs Stephen on every time, which is what sidekick banter is supposed to do anyway.
Stephen Colbert seems upset somehow.
Edit:yet he finds a way to make people laugh.
May GOD help us all 🙏
At this point I think even God is looking down at America & say "Sorry but even *I* can't fix this mess of a country."
All Republicans will vote for Kavanaugh. No doubt about it. I'm sad
God caused this predicament.
God save the United Shaysh
Your god is not doing much these days, is he ?
Colbert’s Improv is still so on point. Once a correspondent, always a correspondent
We need term limits if only to not have all our congressional leaders look like the goddamned Cryptkeeper.
