Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and ���THE LATE SHOW band,��� the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.
Welcome back Stephen. We're all glad you're recovering well.
“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”
― George Orwell, 1984
He was spinejinglingly accurate.
Republicans saw that as a blueprint instead of a cautionary tale.
Even then Orwell was still just guessing. It seemed an accurate response to social relativism.

And they recognize how people feared the Party in 1984 and blame everything they don't like as if it were part of that, when they're secretly setting themselves up to become the Party.
If Liz Chaney doesn't get personal and ask, let me: How did you keep from blowing out your stitches with laughter?
That 'grabbing Ryan's privates' joke was superb. And the accompanying graphic was fantastic. Kudos to the writer who came up with that!
Welcome back Stephen. So glad you’re back and doing well. I don’t know how I’d survive in this insane world without you.
..toughen up then. Seriously. It's a slanted talk show. Try a friend, take a walk with a dog.
@@morbidmanmusicwhy are you here then? Maybe you need to use your time better.

Things Trump did while in office:
Brokered two Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless war failed to produce.
Secured $6 billion in NEW funding to fight the opioid epidemic.
Created more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs since his election.
Has not engaged us in a foreign war since Eisenhower.
Protecting Americans from terrorists with the Travel Ban, upheld by Supreme Court.
Greatest impact on the economy, bringing jobs, and lowering unemployment to the Black and Latino population of ANY other president. Ever.
exposed the deep, widespread, and long-standing corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Republican and Democratic parties.
Turned NATO around and had them start paying their dues.
Turned our relationship with the Chinese around, brought hundreds of business back to the US, and revived the economy.
Accomplished the appointing of three Supreme Court Justices and close to 300 Federal Judges.
Lowered your taxes, increased the standard deduction on your IRS return from $12,500 for Married Filing Joint to $24,400 and caused your stock market to move to record levels over 100 times, positively impacting the retirements of tens of millions of citizens.
Fast-tracked the development of a COVID Vaccine - it will be available within weeks - we still don't have a vaccine for SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, or a host of diseases that arose during previous administrations.
Exposed world wide sex trafficking of minors and bringing children home to their families.
Reformed the Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on their drugs-saving seniors hundreds of millions of dollars this year alone.
Trump works for free, donates his salary to charity.

George Santo...I'm really gonna miss those guys! Well written!
LIFE is so much easier with Stephen Colbert on TV at night. He makes the madness so much easier to take. Thank you Stephen, we NEED you!
Oh Yes We Do
I share your sentiment! 💚
Enjoy while u can he’s always on vacation
@@momezzy8864A burst appendix is anything but a vacation.
I actually lol’d a few times during the monologue which is a minor miracle 😊
Welcome back, Stephen!
Hope your recovery is going well. Between the writer's strike, your COVID case and a ruptured appendix, we've missed you a lot this year!
yes indeed ❤
2023 hasn't been a good year for him. Hopefully 2024 will be much better for him.
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980As long as "good for him" doesn't include a Trump presidency, I agree.
Welcome back, with best wishes from Taiwan.
Another day, another Trump “sir” story…
The "poison and bile" joke was brilliant. Excellent timing.
You and your writers have outdone yourselves this time!
Exactly!
Much love Stephen and welcome back! We missed you dearly.
Peeing myself over your opener. 😂😂That one sentence is Emmy-worthy. Welcome back, glad you're feeling better
We miss you, Stephen!!! We’re so happy you’re better! ❤
Glad to see Steven back !
"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it."
-Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) May 3, 2016....God that quote only gets better with time.
Then Graham went right back to kissing Trump's ass. Finding anyone in republican leadership with a spine is nearly impossible, anymore. Liz Cheney stood up for the truth and for America and was voted out of office for it. Mitch McConnell said that Trump was morally and practically responsible for the January 6th insurrection, then right back to kissing Trump's ass. These people are cowards, and willing to sell out America for votes.
Woman's intuition. He should have followed his instincts but greed took over 😢
even worse ! i don't you realize ? you must be a Maga supporter
The quote, perhaps, but Lindsey only got worse. He's so far in now that a 45 win in 2024 is his only way out. And why the turnaround? 45 has pics ... no, video of Lindsey and it's, like, goats in heels and black mesh stockings. Very young goats? IDK, it's got to be something hinky. Lindsey was a military lawyer. He understands the cases against 45.
sad yet extremly true
Thrilled to have Colbert back!!!
So good to have Colbert back!
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone -- *so* *thankful* *you're* *well* Mr. Colbert 💚💙💜
Having to ask a former President and current Presidential candidate if he’s going to be a dictator is all you need to know.
Cool, so Trump is going to convert the entire military to his control? Interesting claim.
Which dictators were installed without any military support?
It's adorable that Americans think they came close to any kind of "insurrection" or "revolution" on Jan 6 -
So cute 😂😂😂
Exactly!!
It couldn't have been made any clearer. Even more the reason to Vote Blue 💙💙💙 up and down the ballot.
Where did they find the pictures of Trump??? LOL
He was trying to frame it as “media lies,” and got egg on his face instead. 😂
dictator on day one is the political equivalent of "just the tip"
I will never forgive you for the mental image you just conjured in my mind... 😭
Well, I wouldn't put sexually assaulting the entire country passed him
even worse ! don't you realize ? you must be a Maga supporter
So glad you're back Stephen we missed you.
Definitely
"Gary the glacier ..." omg: that was ... cold!!
That's really funny,no glacier, just Ocean, a melted glacier, yes, as Donald says, global warming is a hoax. , Love you Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🌵 yes I keep on keeping on proud to be an American
What scares me more than Mar-A-Lardo and his dictatorship plans is the crowd behind him clapping and cheering him on.
Paid actors
Just like North Korea...
It's not what makes them jeer that bothers me. It's what makes them cheer.
So this is how liberty dies... With thunderous applause

This is why I said they had DOCTORs, and NURSES dance on TV, and the social websites, and getting PROMOTED to do so in early 2020 PRIDE.
PRIDE!!! Satan does not JUST need them to be on his side at the start. He wants PRIDE to keep them from REPENTING! EVER! This is the way of NOT REPENTING AND BEING LIABLE TO HELL. They can't admit they were wrong, and turn around! Why PRIDE. With all this evidence PRIDE! Sadly it is working on some
THE Government KNEW that once they introduce pride to the doctors and nurses, they can't will stay trapped. And not TURN on them, And it IS WORKING!!!
When they tell you TRUST THE SCIENCE they are saying Trust MAN's science, NOT Gods.
💬
No regrets!? This is saying to God you are NOT REPENTANT about trusting MAN, and not GOD...("The SCIENCE" was a Code word or Code Phrase for TRUST MAN)
💬 Every knows that in Revelations Chapter 6 the WHITE/RED/BLACK/PALE horses will ride. Causing people to take a scorpions tail (needle) (white horse). WARs, and rumors of war (Red horse), Prices of food and Energy and medicine and entertainment to rise(black horse). And death following(pale horse). And they knew that SOMEONE will come on the scene and SAVE THE WORLD from these things. Because the Bible says this person will come to save us.
Trump just played the obvious Trump Card. He just Talked UFO's. He that talks them first is the one that gains ALL TRUST FROM BOTH "sides".
What's the next push for the vaccine? Will people get raptured and the Government tell the left behind that it was aliens. And only the vaccinated was protected? And then they finish the TRICK to get people to go up and FIGHT against GOD!? Telling people there are aliens along with some proof (some of it halographic) would do the trick. DONT FALL for it!
THIS SOMEONE (PERSON) is the FALSE PROPHET that will cause you to put your trust in the ANTI-Christ. So just keep looking for that person(while refusing Jabs). You will know they are the FALSE PROPHET, because that is what the bible says the false prophet does.
💬 And PLEASE help me spread dumbed down message. Even a less complicated thinker will understand this.... SIDE NOTE: 1st Corinthians 6:19 "19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

💬 You missed the first sign the mark of the beast. Don't fall for the other signs! Please! You can live in paradise.
Before the Fall Satan made sure there was PRIDE. This is why I said they are having DOCTORs and NURSES dance on TV and the social websites and getting PROMOTED to do so in early 2020 PRIDE.

Interesting I misspelled Medicine, it came out MEDICIDE! So naturally I looked it up! WOW. It's a word alright. Now the question is, is MEDICIDE closer to suicide or genocide(they wanted all doctors, nurses and blacks to take it first), or omnicide?!

One of the big reasons people will stop going to churches and didn't protest? I'm going to tell you a conspiracy (since I am batting a 100%). The VACCINE, downgrades the vmat2 gene. Which gives you the RELIGIOUS zeal (right or wrong), independent thinking. The ability to stick to emotional indignation (right or wrong). This is way stronger than fluoride. This is also a big reason WHY there will be a great FALLING AWAY! I cannot post links here you have to go to youtubes competitors for proof because they instantly block these links!WHAT will be the NEXT big push to get people to take the Vaccine (called: THE MARK OF THE BEAST)?. Here is a scenario that people would fall for. The RAPTURE HAPPEN! And then they show some of the ships (some holographs to make more). And the Government will tell you that the reason that YOU did not get ABDUCTED (no they will admit Ruptured) they (Government) will tell you it was the VACCINE PREVENTING YOU from getting Abducted (which will be really RAPTURED). Then they will get all the TRUSTING ones to take the vaccine. And the Conspiracy theorist (RAPTURED) will not be done here to get people to see the truth (not most anyway). Some of those being left behind will be in a SECOND RAPTURE. This will be a bigger test(because Satan wants to use DISCOURAGEMENT! Notice the multiple accounts in the scriptures. And Christ telling us let not those in the field first expect MORE than those the joined later. But you still need to be talking to God about it, in Jesus name because as the father in charge of punishment he is the one determining REPENTANCE!

You will never, guess where I am leading with this! Don't you find it STRANGE that BIDDENs presidency is MIRRORING TRUMP's presidency's problems, even way worse? Example: The news made fun of Trump for his text's, spelling, and grammar, comments about he would date his daughter if he was her age and free. Now we have Bidden with way worse words, and text. The news made fun of Trump Junior for mental problems and mistakes, now Bidden has his crackhead son. The news made fun of Trump screwing up international relations, now we have Bidden leaving people and military equipment in Iraq, and DRAGGING us into Ukraine and possibly a world WAR. This is so BLANTANT a set up. Trump will SWOOP in and 'save' the world from all these problems(unless God stops it) Why? Because he is the False prophet. Trying to look like John the baptist, and he will lead us to the anti Christ. Unless God cuts this Short also. On another subject, when The RAPTURE HAPPENS! And then the Government(new) will show some of the ships (some holographs to make more). And the Government will tell you that the reason that YOU did not get ABDUCTED (no they will admit Ruptured) they (Government)- will tell you it was the VACCINE PREVENTING YOU from getting Abducted (which will be really RAPTURED).

Glad you are okay Stephen. 😊😊😊 get better and take it easy
The poster for "saving private Ryan" new version almost made me fall off my chair laughing. Looking at it a second time only showed more funny details. Great work!
Welcome back! I'm so happy you made a full recovery Stephen! Don't overdo it! We need you to keep telling it like it is!
So thankful your back Steve missed you
Welcome back, dear Stephan, you have been sorely missed… don’t overdo yourself! 🌟💖💫🙌🏽
Knowing Trump, he definitely wants Day 1 to last at least a thousand years.
You're Reich... er... right.
So Trump is like Putin, a Crazy Wanna Be Dictator, Biden is like Netanyahu a Crazy Genocidal Zionist and those are the Choices the Corporate Oligarchs in the DNC and RNC are going to give us? I Give Up. Not Voting for either of them two Old Turds.
Like Groundhog Day.
Thankfully he won't be lasting that long!
That's why he keeps those two idiot sons.
In the last weeks, all talk show hosts commented on the dictator thing and George Santos. Your jokes were the best. Good to have you back.
Now that was worth waiting for, that segue from appendicitis to Trump was next level!! So happy to see you back Sir, reading your books at home is not an adequate substitute for my bracing shot of Colbert!
Welcome back Stephen, a ruptured appendix can be nasty so we all hope you’re feeling better!!!
Appendicitis - not very funny. It almost killed Kevin Costner while he was filming Open Range...
Yay, welcome back Colbert. We love you. 💙
So incredibly happy to see you are back and well!
Peace be with you all! ❤❤❤
And every time you come back from any time off it’s like air ..it’s like I was holding my breath .. so glad you are ok .. that can be so very dangerous !! First joke outta the bag and yeah my heart is better now .. love you Stephen , and your writers too ❤
Missed you, Stephen. Glad you're doing better!
Easy to say that the world missed your show, welcome back to the writers and to you. Merci. 🇫🇷❤️🇺🇲
So glad you're feeling better. Sorry about your burst appendix . I wouldn't want this either. Welcome back!👏👍😁
OMG, your opening line was PERFECT!
He meant Day 1 in biblical terms: on day 1, he toppled democracy, on day 2, he built the concentration camps, etc. It only takes 6 days plus a seventh day of unlimited golf.
I often compare him to that character. Which I promise you is NOT flattery, but a parallel to that dictator crap. Evil.
lmfao...
...you're a clever beast.
That's exactly what Trump meant for sure. Most definitely Voting Blue 💙💙💙 up and down the ballot.
Brilliant.
I can't understand America why they wanted to return the former president to office who is the most incompetent president the US had.
What happened to you America? You used to fight dictators, and now you are paving the way for one.
.... unfortunately
It's just ugly America 🇺🇸
Everything went downhill after Gore was robbed of the presidency in 2000.
We have become the very thing we sought to destroy…
It’s terrifying !
You mean, when we weren't backing them. Like we did with Hussein and a whole mess of South American juntas.
Any presidential candidate even joking about wanting to be a dictator should be disqualified from running for president or holding political office ever again. Please Congress add this amendment to the constitution ASAP
Tephlon Don strikes again. He is proving our judicial system does not apply to some.
He never joked his followers said it was a joke lol
Yeah, I'm sure a dysfunctional and fascism-majority Congress will get right on that! Ugh...
@@Zalzany that's my point and it's actually even worse. His serious plan to become a dictator has been known that he'd want to become one for a long time. I was warning people back in 2015 he'd be pure EVIL
Can’t ban speech in the US.
Welcome back! This monologue was absolutely stellar!
Yeah! Your back! I'm so glad that your doing well and recuperated from such a serious health crisis!
"Every day is day one" is exactly what I've been thinking he would do. He would never give up power if he acquires it again.
Welcome back, Stephen Colbert! Wishing you all the best. 🤗💙
Do the right thing America. The world needs you back and we're all a little scared of you.
We are worried, too. Trump is a danger to everyone, especially America.

You're on fire tonight, Stephen!!!! Bravo!!!! 👏👍😁😅🤣😂😭💯❗
We had trouble getting him out last time. Why does anyone think it a good idea to let him try again?
Because they don't care about anything except power.
It was a rhetorical question.@@davidstorrs
@@TKHaines No, I understood that it was rhetorical. I was agreeing with you by expansion.
It's not rhetorical, it's a fact that he wants to stay in power as a dictator. Did people forget the January sixth violent attack on our capitol and our constitution to overturn the election at Trump's direction. Did people forget that Trump refused a peaceful transition of power as every other president has done. Have people not been paying attention to his admitting that he will use the office of president for retribution. Keep this hate filled moron out of power. America depends on it.
Can't help noticing the efforts to mount a robust, comprehensive coup this time by pre-staffing all the critical jobs with trump-bots on Day-1!
That vindictive orange wind-bag has shown us who he is; it would be utterly stupid to vote for him.
America can't possibly be that stupid... 😮
Kudos to Stephen's team of writers. Just the best!
Sorry but no. Kimmels writers are better.
@@mudshark6782 I would argue that both Oliver's and the Daily Show's writers are better than either of those in terms of "late-night-style" talk programs. Colbert's writing team has a few stars (Brian Stack comes to mind), but I think Colbert and Kimmel are generally pretty comparable in terms of overall quality and effect. Kimmel's forte tends to be more about mass appeal and simplicity (with a dash of pop-culture guilty pleasure trashiness) while Colbert's style is more akin to the kind of political satire he helped pioneer on Comedy Central. They both have their merits, and it really depends on what kind of comedy you're looking for: something that is silly and easy to digest (Kimmel) or someone who can be more subtle and biting, but who forces to you think a little bit more to get the full nuance of the joke (Colbert). This distinction can also be borne out by the types of guests they tend to interview for those portions of each respective show.
Welcome back, Stephen! I'm so glad to see you!
Always BRILLIANT Stephen, thank you!
We need to stop pretending the dictator thing is a joke like we don't remember his presidency.
It's the weirdest friggin' thing, isn't it? Like, I don't blame people for wanting to move past the dark times, but if we're facing round 2 of the same thing, maybe have a little memory, people! I've seen people practically turn and run from any news reminding us of 2016. Heck, even bringing up how I learned to bake during the pandemic is becoming quite the taboo subject. We're all swiftly becoming goldfish.
You're right everyone is warning us to believe what he says I believe in my heart trump will never be in a. Elected office ever God will make sure of it

@1:13 Hannity: "You would never abuse power, as retribution against anybody"?

The thing is, that, "DAY ONE" of his second presidency will never end!😳
I think a lot of people are glossing over the fact that, even if he does only keep it to 24 hours, uh, he's still admitting to wanting to abuse his powers. Like, he's basically calling for a one-man Purge.

But he's NOT saying for one day and as he'd, and quite literally, mind you, said that he'd both abuse the power of the office for retribution AND that he'd become a dictator "on day one"...

@@d33j4ybf Oh, I know. The very idea that he gets any more days of power at all scares the living crap out of me. I'm just sayin', even if we take his comment at the best possible face value, take him entirely at his word... it's still an abomination to the values of the Constitution.

A potential President joking about trashing the Constitution on the very day he swears an oath to uphold it is as funny as your babysitter joking she lost the last child she cared for at the mall.

It is really amazing to see Stephen Colbert back after being the hospital. It must've been scary but it is wonderful to see that he is healthy and doing better. Hope you stay safe, healthy and happy
It’s so damn good to see Stephen back!

summer. eh? @@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980
the "hunk of dead intestine filled with poison and bile" joke got me so good
Didn't Trump say he should get additional years added to his first term? So being dictator for a day will be enough. Sure....
he said his term shouldn't count because of the FBI investigating him and creating turbulence in his approach with the media and the populace at large. He felt as if he wasn't actually allowed to do his job because someone might know what he is actually doing? Lol public figures have no privacy i mean come on!
Day 2 would be "everybody loves me as a dictator, I'm sticking around forever".
@@charlesmitchell9690precisely & why exactly was he interrupted so much. It’s obvious & clear as day why he had so much opposition. #wwg1wgaworldwide
Nothing would surprise me, however, anything that gave Trump additional power or an extended term would require the Constitution to be amended, you can't do that as a decree, no matter how much of a 'dictator' you want to be - the Constitution prevents that unless it's amended and THAT can't be done by decree either. There is only one way to amend the Constitution, and no single person, even the President, has the power to do it, it requires a 2/3 majority in support of the amendment in BOTH houses AND ratification by enough of the states. It's not easy or the 2nd Amendment would have been removed already.
@@sprig5173 Its more he declares himself king at end of day 1, and he is monarch rest of his life lol
Yaaay... Stephen is back!!!
All the way from Tanzania, East Africa. We missed you, Stephen. Glad you are back.
THANK GOD STEPHEN IS BACK! I was worried about him.
Welcome back Steven we missed you
So glad my man, Stephen, is OK and back to help us laugh while we cry over the state of our union.
I remember “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.” And I remember when they invaded the Capitol and Officer Siknik and others died violently.
Yes, and the audience that are clapping in the background need a shrink pretty quickly.
@@P75455you need help
Do you remember when he said to peacefully and patriotically protest?
Please don’t have any more medical problems. I can’t take it. Lol. So glad you’re back!
Love Steven. You are my guru and I get the best news from you. Thank goodness you tell the facts not like mainstream media Thank you steven for keeping everyone informed as usball about the orange plague neo nazi
❤❤❤ WELCOME BACK STEPHEN!!
You know, you’d think people would take offense at trumps ego. No military personnel should ever forgive trump for lying about some imaginary general saying trump did the bravest thing he ever saw by debating Hillary. Utter nonsense.
No US citizen should forgive Biden for shaking hands with imaginary people on stage either😂😂😂
@@jjp3445 your whataboutism is pathetic , honestly
@@jjp3445 or altered footage. Be cynical, on things either side might do.
But there are too many old folks in power. McConnell and his gapping out should be a sign he's on medical leave, leaving politics! Ba-Doom tsh!
Old age flubs are one thing ( and easily made), but the self aggrandizing babble that comes out of drumpf's is worrisome and insults people like your military you profess to care about.
@@jjp3445 Nor Trump for needing help walking down a ramp or drinking a glass of water with two hands or pointing out that the word ‘us’ is spelled ‘us’. lol get a grip. Trump is in worse cognitive shape than ByeDon.
No, instead you want people to trust the democrats who are selling out America through taking bribes and then Biden leaving billions worth of special U.S. military weapons in Afghanistan that had high tech top secrets built in them that the Russians and Chinese didn't have yet and he just gave it to them! I trust Trump over these corrupt democrats running things. And why does it happen that every time a democrat gets in office they show weakness to the world. Then the communist counties like China and Russia start talking over the smaller countries and we end up in proxy wars. Then the next republican president shows strength as a nation and has to clean up the mess.
Missed you Stephen! Glad you are feeling better. I hope you know how much you are cherished. 💖
A would be president saying he's joking about wanting to be a dictator is no joke.
He never actually says he is joking though he never actually denies this stuff when corned he double downs every time its people who want him to do it saying he is joking lol
He's the joke that went way too far.
@@Zalzanythe problem is his base knows exactly what he's saying.
That said, he's not the first to do so: George W Bush also laughingly commented one day that "This would be easier if I were a dictator."
even worse ! i don't you realize ? you must be a Maga supporter
Glad Colbert is up and running.
Slides in “close the boarder” for cheers then goes back to crazy immediately.
Welcome back Stephen! May you have many more years of hilarity!
Chris Hayes: He’s not running for another term. He’s running for life.
He's running from prison.
Stephen. I did not hear until now, I am so sorry. Glad u better, and for Evie for insisting on ER!!!!!
How can military men sit there and listen to Trump say he was braver than them for how he defended sexual assault accusations?
Well, he WAS completely unarmed when he engaged Hillary in a battle of wits.
and military women
Very angrily.
Those military men who complimented Donald's bravery also fought with him on Cheeseburger Hill in Vietnam.
@@drd0114and the taking over of the airports by the Continental Army in the 1770s.
A Presidential candidate joking about wanting to be a dictator is precisely as funny as the Pope making a priest and altar boy joke. Vote Blue 2024, and welcome back, Stephen!
He wasn't joking.
@@JustChuck1982 No he wasn't. And his alabaster Aryan followers giving him a standing ovation behind him in that clip clearly knew that.
The baby sitter joking about eating children.
So Trump is like Putin, a Crazy Wanna Be Dictator, Biden is like Netanyahu a Crazy Genocidal Zionist and those are the Choices the Corporate Oligarchs in the DNC and RNC are going to give us? I Give Up. Not Voting for either of them two Old Turds.
Ughghghgh do I have to though. I mean yeah Trump is critically awful and a danger to democracy yadda yadda yadda but the democrats still fucking suck. Like I know which I'd choose but I'm gonna die mad about it.
Glad to have you back happy and healthy Stephen!
Not so sure about healthy, I think TDS has sent him over the edge.
Maybe this is why The Traffic Cone of Treason's "big beautiful healthcare plan" is always "coming in two months" since 2017: he truly believed that Day One will last an entire lifetime.
The GOP is dead, this is now the MAGA Party
also called ANP (American Nazi Party)
Things Trump did while in office:
Brokered two Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless war failed to produce.
Secured $6 billion in NEW funding to fight the opioid epidemic.
Created more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs since his election.
Has not engaged us in a foreign war since Eisenhower.
Protecting Americans from terrorists with the Travel Ban, upheld by Supreme Court.
Greatest impact on the economy, bringing jobs, and lowering unemployment to the Black and Latino population of ANY other president. Ever.
exposed the deep, widespread, and long-standing corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Republican and Democratic parties.
Turned NATO around and had them start paying their dues.
Turned our relationship with the Chinese around, brought hundreds of business back to the US, and revived the economy.
Accomplished the appointing of three Supreme Court Justices and close to 300 Federal Judges.
Lowered your taxes, increased the standard deduction on your IRS return from $12,500 for Married Filing Joint to $24,400 and caused your stock market to move to record levels over 100 times, positively impacting the retirements of tens of millions of citizens.
Fast-tracked the development of a COVID Vaccine - it will be available within weeks - we still don't have a vaccine for SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, or a host of diseases that arose during previous administrations.
Exposed world wide sex trafficking of minors and bringing children home to their families.
Reformed the Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on their drugs-saving seniors hundreds of millions of dollars this year alone.
Trump works for free, donates his salary to charity.
Sounds good, polls look like its already won.
Time for the real GOP to create a new party and leave the MAGA RINOs to fade away
Unfortunately there is no home for fiscal conservatives like me. I’m socially left but the debt and budget gaps scares the shit out of me. Especially with fundamentals like the infrastructure and funding teachers already poorly managed.
What I mean is, you’re either a maga culture patriot idiot or in the blue. You’ll see with the republican primaries, no one will get any traction. No room for a different kind of conservative.
So glad you are OK. And SO glad to have you back. 😃 Take a peak at what Jimmy Kimmel did to ole George.
FINALLY YOU'RE BACK ON ACTION, STEPHEN!!!
Good to have you back Mr. Colbert... We thought we had lost you.
Glad you’re healthy and back to make me laugh❤
Merci M. Colbert. As a survivor of life please take care of yourself, I've lost too many friends at 50+ to not be concerned. You have to give things up and get used to it, cos the alternative's a lot worse.
"The Beauty Doesn't Matter Contest" was worth the three week wait.
I'm so glad you're okay!
Also, Caesar was actually smart and despite egomania and dictatorial abuses, actually instituted useful reforms which were upheld. He could be ruthless and brutal, but usually not without a clear purpose - he could actually be overly forgiving of his political enemies. He was on the liberal wing of the political spectrum at the time, and that got him killed. Both liberal Romans and conservative opponents had flagrantly subverted and abused a representative system for over a century. Anyway, comparing Trump to Caesar really is an insult to Caesar.
And then there were other Caesars like Caligula--who, impatient to deliver the baby of the sister he'd impregnated, cut open her womb...hence the Caesarian. (She and the baby died.) And his lovely nephew, Nero. Trump reminds me of those guys.
He was assuming all power to himself, turning the republic into a dictatorship, and that got him killed.
Yeah I don't exactly see Trump turning down a kingly crown on the shores of the Rubicon thrice.
I even feel bad for insulting poop if I compare it to the orange t-rump But whatcha gonna do? I do appreciate the history lesson though, and think Caesar is way better.
It's because Julius Caesar was a real populist and Trump is a fake populist.
I love Stephen’s grand introduction of the “Story of My Appendix”!! 😂
Thank you!
It's so good so see you back healthy ❤ I missed you and the show 3000 when you were off. So glad you're fine❤
Glad to see you back Stephen, but I'm only here for the monologue. I appreciate Ms. Cheney's effort to resist the new GQP, but I doubt she'll have anything to say that I don't already know. Now if she really wants to make herself useful, she should run as a 3rd party candidate. If she steals even a small sliver of votes away from Former Guy, she'll forever be my heroine.
nah. there’s already three ‘ independent ‘ candidates. every vote possible for Democracy means all votes possible for the one who can win over (‘rump).
Problem is, she might take more votes from Independents and Republicans who won't vote Trump and otherwise would have voted Biden.
We libs are okay with a reasonable conservative like Haley. Not someone who wishes to put the bible into US law. @@honkoff99
I know, right? Listen we already know the GOP is broken, we _know_ they won't face up to Trump, we _know_ this whole thing is dangerous. We're not lawmakers, what exactly does she want us to do about it? 'Cuz at this point it's basically civil war or let them bend us over a barrel.
She's an abysmal person in her own right. The Only good thing she ever did was not support Trump except for economically, judicially and environmentally.
