I wish Biden's "Dark Brandon" moments were allowed to be more visible (and freqent) during his campaign for re-election. That side of him is more relatable & likeable than the publicly facing "kind & virtuous Uncle Joe" persona at the front & centre of his 2024 campaign. Apparently, Biden is quite fluent in "potty mouth", so letting Dark Brandon out to play would actually be more representative of Biden's true nature, anyways.
@@1st2nd2Ok, I admit it. I laughed and choked on my drink a bit after reading your comment. That's probably the funniest thing I will read this week. What's funnier is that I think you're being serious. I mean, Trump's really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Kings can be tried. King Charles I was tried and convicted in 1649. Then executed with an axe. According to Wikipedia, the charge stated that he was devising "a wicked design to erect and uphold in himself an unlimited and tyrannical power to rule according to his will, and to overthrow the rights and liberties of the people".

You mean beside campaign frauds, destruction of official documents, obstructions of justice, witness tamperings, interference in the 2020 election, false statements, ethics violations, bribery, coercion, misappropriation of federal funds, soliciting unlawful foreign campaign contributions, abuse of power, perjury, attempts to steal the 2020 election (aka election fraud), RICO, sedition, insurrection, wire fraud, mishandling of official documents, falsification of business records and nepotism.

I would like to raise the whole king/president distinction and point out that the reason the founders of the country fought for freedom from a king’s rule was to avoid the tyrannical decisions of a man disconnected from reality, bent upon his own goals whatever they might regardless of any binding law or attempted check on his power. Presidential powers are restricted for very, very good reason.
The thing is, we'd already had the english civil war by then and the powers of the king were diluted under parliament. The king couldn't 'rule' directly either at home under parliament or abroad, so really it was the British government that was responsible for British behavior and actions relative to the new world. I say 'responsible' because yes, the King was in fact meddling alot but he did it through capitol and companies, through the new capitalist mechanisms of the colonies. So, when the Americans did get control of the political influence of the British people and reduced the corporate influence of the crown, they still left the mechanisms in place for other men to wield this kingly corporate power and they do. It's still there.
@,ellieb.e.868 _maybe_ But Jefferson wrote that letter to the king and then made the same transgressions.

If Trump really didn't do anything wrong (as he says), he wouldn’t have asked for absolute immunity..and an innocent man would have demanded speedy trial instead of trying to push it back.
Bigger news stories would be when DJT actually DOES win a court ruling. I don't know the exact ratio but I feel like this nincompoop loses 5 or 6 rulings for every 1 favorable ruling. I've never seen a well known figure lose this often. It's quite remarkable.
It is remarkable, because this stupid ruling now opens every single president up to criminal charges, now we can go after Obama for murdering US citizens without a trial
Dude won't even debate Nikki and he's hassling Biden. Biden's got a job- Trump doesn't realize you're supposed to actually *read* all the stuff they give you and go to *all* the meetings
what no one seems to be talking about in regards to Trump's defense claim is that he's inadvertently admitting he's done a crime, because you wouldn't need immunity from a non-crime.
Logically correct;however, you are forgetting he has made the assertion he is only being prosecuted because he left office. Witch hunt he did nothing wrong. People confuse the difference between being stupid and being uneducated. Trump is streetwise, but has little knowledge other than what he has learned in the school of hard knocks.
It's because it's too easy to mount a resonable defense. All he has to say is, "I want immunity because these witch hunt cases are distracting from my campaign and causing undue stress." There's a reason juries are instructed not to make negative inferences into stuff like this.
This was a shortsighted ruling, if they had ruled FOR Trump, then Biden could have ordered Seal Team Six to take out Trump and saved the government the cost of all the trials.
To defend ordering murder of a political rival is in itself something that screams lacking American values and just decency. Do his lawyers realize that? I'm thinking they must. Does his cult realize that?

Yes, but you retained the ability of the President to issue pardons to criminals. That dates from when monarchs had absolute power. Constitutional monarchs (ie, all the European ones) don't have this power. In fact, they have no real power at all. Your president is more like a king than a king is!

Snarky Grampa Joe is my favourite person right now.😅 Before anyone worries about his age, he's only 3 years older than Dumpty Drumpty, but he's generally still sharper. Not to mention, he's not a crook!
Seeing how Joe walks and speaks, it's as if he belongs in a nursing home. How has it come to this that the two main contenders for America's next election are between two old jeriatrics. There needs to be an age limit in America for people running for office.
Definitely needs to have the food at rehearsal. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
Imagine walking into work at the Appeals Court, seeing this appeal, deciding NO! after having a good laugh, total time: 4 minutes. Then you have to take 3 weeks to write a bulletproof decision that SCOTUS will likely let stand.
I wonder if SCOTUS will allow the ruling to stand completely unchanged. If so, Trump's ballot case becomes a _lot_ harder because the appeals court explicitly called the president an officer, which means Trump's legal team will have to shift their entire strategy to arguing that both the trial and appeals court erred as a matter of law in finding that Trump engaged in insurrection.
@@RabblesTheBinx and no doubt that "officer" thing absolutely occurred to them & was deliberately included for that purpose too. This is why they took so long to do it, they did their job to the ABSOLUTE best they possibly could!
As a neuropsychologist, both sides are grasping for straws when shouting dementia due to switched names. The only situation that really raised an alert for me was the Nancy↔Nikki because Trump went hard on unforgettable facts while looking completely disoriented.
You're right. It was a lot worse than a simple name switch. He's *campaigning against* Nikki Haley and repeated her name 5 times in a roll out of context without hesitating.
I'm not a neuropsychologist (but did work at a neuropsych VAMC) and diagnosed Orange King Con long ago. Please tell me why people can't realize something is seriously wrong with that infantile man?!?
There's a very easy way to resolve the dementia question once & for all, ask both of them one of the questions from the dementia test in the debate & rig it to give Ttump the advantage. "You have 30 seconds to list as many words as you can starting with the letter ...." Ask Biden first, then ask Ttump & allow Ttump to repeat Biden's words in addition to new ones he thinks of. Debate & dementia debate winner is whoever can list the most words within 30 seconds. You could even give them the question in advance if desired, with the letter they will be using, so that they can prepare for it. Reality is Ttump can't focus on stuff like that, he won't be able to spend 30 seconds just saying words starting with a certain letter, especially not in the adrenaline hyped up state is is always in for rallies/debates etc. Biden will do it with ease.
When a Karen claims to be a sovereign citizen, they get laughed at and ridiculed. When Trump claims to be a sovereign citizen he gets a SCOTUS hearing.
Biden refused to debate and changed the rules of the primary to guarentee his own victory. All while trying to jail his leading political opposition. A but autocratic wouldn't you say?
i like how he's standing up and walking around the set. i also like how you can hear the music act making sound too :) laughing along and such. it makes this show feel pretty cool. this is my third episode clip i have watched.
The big qualifying difference in this situation - and likely why it was a unanimous ruling - is that Trump's attempts to interfere with the election were *not* part of carrying out his Presidential responsibilities, it was serving only himself.
Does the system not seem backwards? Those in power should be under far, far more legal and ethical scrutiny than the average person. Do politicians not claim to be better than the average person? 🤔 As soon as a politician, especially 'at the top' if found guilty of anything should be suspended and/or fired. THAT is what democracy should be. Representives accountable to the people and law of the land. Not the people afraid and being strung along

It's because it's too easy to mount a resonable defense. All he has to say is, "I want immunity because these witch hunt cases are distracting from my campaign and causing undue stress." There's a reason juries are instructed not to make negative inferences into stuff like this.
Trumps personal perception of his own acts does not mean he did commit a crime tho

This was a shortsighted ruling, if they had ruled FOR Trump, then Biden could have ordered Seal Team Six to take out Trump and saved the government the cost of all the trials.
and some of the Judges will get sealed too
No matter, according to tRump Biden could still do that. 🤷🏼♂️
To defend ordering murder of a political rival is in itself something that screams lacking American values and just decency. Do his lawyers realize that? I'm thinking they must. Does his cult realize that?
Nope. Such a ruling would have applied only to Trump, and going forward, only to Republicans...
😂😂😂
Instead of an immediate Trump debate, how about IMMEDIATE TRIALS for Trump. No more delay, delay, delay, appeal and repeat.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏼💪🏼 Lock Him Up

Yes, and fortunately the DC Circuit panel's opinion basically says to Trump, "Stop the Stall."
He obviously has free time, why not spend it in court.
Because then he can actually justify calling these trials a "witch hunt" or whatever he keeps spewing out.
It is sick that it took this long to come to the obvious conclusion.
Keep TEASING Biden! You are so spot on, Mr. Colbert!!!
He can TAKE IT!
😅😅😂😅😅
Biden walked out of a bubble tea shop and threw shade. I thought this was a old man in his 80s lol.
He's not 80 yet
@@dielaughing73 He is in fact, 81 years old as of last November. (this isn't meant to be an "um actually", just a simple correction, so I hope it does not offend you)
I thought he turned 81 last year.@@dielaughing73
He was there to eat ice cream and sniff hair
@@lumisherbert5682 Not at all! I misremembered because Ttump is 78 not Biden.
A person in charge of a country with total immunity sounds like a king, and we had a king once, then we fired him. I think that's precedent.
We didn't just fire him, we had thousands of men die to keep him off our land. Trump probably wants to see a similar scenario.
Funny...

Great to hear so now we must go after Obama for murdering US citizens without a trial
MAGA is secessionists who conspire to form a new confederacy. They want slavery again. It is an Insurrectionist movement. Every state has a MAGA cell dedicated to removing their state from the union.
Yes, but you retained the ability of the President to issue pardons to criminals. That dates from when monarchs had absolute power. Constitutional monarchs (ie, all the European ones) don't have this power. In fact, they have no real power at all. Your president is more like a king than a king is!
On a side note, Biden had Seal Team 6 stand down from their next proposed mission. Operation "Juice the Orange".
Ok gotta give you credit that made me snort lol
Love the moment when Trump’s lawyers realized they were arguing that Biden could order Trump’s hit with immunity, as long as he doesn’t get impeached by congress later
Very underrated 😂

So just the supreme court justices who can commit felonies without charge.
All SCOTUS justices RVery honest! Your accusations RVery unfair!
Supreme court should be charged too!!!!!!! THOMAS IS SO GUILTY.!!!!
@@olegrumpyone4163 Not just Thomas...
@@olegrumpyone4163 and roberts. but sadly all 6 justices responsible for over turning roe, perjured themselves to get their appointment. they were all specifically asked under oath about roe v wade. all said under oath that it was settled law.
so at least 6 of 9 committed felonies. let them show their contempt by holding court in prison.
@@Orange_Jumpsuit so honest they committed perjury to get the appointments. thomas and rogers accepted 'gifts' from people bringing cases before them, and made false financial declarations for 20 years. so how many felonies about lies are needed before they are considered not honest?
7MM more people voted for Joe, and that was before 1/6/21. Seriously, I can barely keep up with the sh*tshow that is DC.
I don't understand how someone who claims he did nothing wrong would want immunity.

Snarky Grampa Joe is my favourite person right now.😅
Before anyone worries about his age, he's only 3 years older than Dumpty Drumpty, but he's generally still sharper. Not to mention, he's not a crook!
I believe it's only 2.5 yrs difference.
Older people are like older cars. It’s the condition, not the mileage, and Trump is the beat to hell rental car.
@@AceFace50001this made me laugh. Very witty analogy.
Seeing how Joe walks and speaks, it's as if he belongs in a nursing home.
How has it come to this that the two main contenders for America's next election are between two old jeriatrics.
There needs to be an age limit in America for people running for office.
Biden also has a great team working for him. That's the main thing. Not 'yes' men.
that was a totally badass comment by Joe Biden. served!

He'd have got away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling laws!
Imagine walking into work at the Appeals Court, seeing this appeal, deciding NO! after having a good laugh, total time: 4 minutes. Then you have to take 3 weeks to write a bulletproof decision that SCOTUS will likely let stand.
I wonder if SCOTUS will allow the ruling to stand completely unchanged. If so, Trump's ballot case becomes a _lot_ harder because the appeals court explicitly called the president an officer, which means Trump's legal team will have to shift their entire strategy to arguing that both the trial and appeals court erred as a matter of law in finding that Trump engaged in insurrection.
@@RabblesTheBinx and no doubt that "officer" thing absolutely occurred to them & was deliberately included for that purpose too. This is why they took so long to do it, they did their job to the ABSOLUTE best they possibly could!
Will they? Doubtful in the extreme. Trump owns this SCOTUS.
A great monologue. Some funny jokes at Trump, Biden and Taylor lol
I love the D&D references. Colbert is my kinda nerd 😊❤

As a neuropsychologist, both sides are grasping for straws when shouting dementia due to switched names. The only situation that really raised an alert for me was the Nancy↔Nikki because Trump went hard on unforgettable facts while looking completely disoriented.
You're right. It was a lot worse than a simple name switch. He's *campaigning against* Nikki Haley and repeated her name 5 times in a roll out of context without hesitating.
I'm not a neuropsychologist (but did work at a neuropsych VAMC) and diagnosed Orange King Con long ago. Please tell me why people can't realize something is seriously wrong with that infantile man?!?
That's the ONLY thing Trump has said publically that raised a red flag for you? Biden has public senior moments, Trump has public strokes.
There's a very easy way to resolve the dementia question once & for all, ask both of them one of the questions from the dementia test in the debate & rig it to give Ttump the advantage.
"You have 30 seconds to list as many words as you can starting with the letter ...."
Ask Biden first, then ask Ttump & allow Ttump to repeat Biden's words in addition to new ones he thinks of. Debate & dementia debate winner is whoever can list the most words within 30 seconds.
You could even give them the question in advance if desired, with the letter they will be using, so that they can prepare for it.
Reality is Ttump can't focus on stuff like that, he won't be able to spend 30 seconds just saying words starting with a certain letter, especially not in the adrenaline hyped up state is is always in for rallies/debates etc. Biden will do it with ease.
😂😅😄
When a Karen claims to be a sovereign citizen, they get laughed at and ridiculed. When Trump claims to be a sovereign citizen he gets a SCOTUS hearing.
He's not lcaiming that.

When will people realize Trump is nearly 78, he’s not young he’s just loud and obnoxious with his senior moments.
And he's never done anything for anybody.
Nothing good in any way
Right. He’s like 3 years younger than Biden. He just has a louder voice.

The only reason trump seems to be more “with it”is because he’s high on Adderall every day. That’s prescription meth.
Ask Louis XVI about absolute immunity, in fact many "Kings" and "Emperors" meet justice as commoners.

And the Republicans don’t have the guts to point it out.
Trump with no clothes? AAARRGGGHHHHH!!!

Yeah, let's hope it doesn't come to that...

Loved the Bond analogy. 🤣
The big qualifying difference in this situation - and likely why it was a unanimous ruling - is that Trump's attempts to interfere with the election were *not* part of carrying out his Presidential responsibilities, it was serving only himself.
Exactly 💯

Does the system not seem backwards? Those in power should be under far, far more legal and ethical scrutiny than the average person. Do politicians not claim to be better than the average person? 🤔
As soon as a politician, especially 'at the top' if found guilty of anything should be suspended and/or fired.
THAT is what democracy should be. Representives accountable to the people and law of the land. Not the people afraid and being strung along
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW!!!
