For real. They should eliminate audiences for debates, too. It just becomes a performance and a show. We shouldn't let candidates lean on applause lines, we should let their ideas stand on their own merit--without booing/cheering.
I agree. We were able to focus on the content. Actually, and I know this is much less important, but I also have enjoyed the late night talk shows in a more intimate setting.
You people are funny. Sure, you can't do much worse than Trump, but Colbert is simply doing his very best to get people to vote and get Donald out of the White House. Biden has credible sexual assault claims against him, is a creepy-ass child sniffer, a pathetic speaker, a DNC shill with no actual policies, a career politician who's repeatedly tried to take away social security, a pro-Iraq war voter, has zero intention to get any sort of Medicare program going, and the list goes on. Settling for him is entirely understandable when the alternative is four more years of an international embarrassment and threat, but getting emotional over Colbert's words?! Give me a fucking break. P.S. His VP is an awful person too.
I shouted YES when he said that. Who cares that he often stumbles with his words. His heart is in the right place, as opposed to the alternative, who has no heart.
Stephen, your comments brought tears to my eyes and reminded me of election night 2008. Loved your coverage with Jon Stewart of the election of Barack Obama. ❤️
Donald: "The reality of my ego won't allow me to avoid the spotlight or stop putting others at risk. Today, I am officially terminating my relationship with reality. I don't like the way that reality has treated me. Reality has been very unfair to me...so tremendously unfair. No one should ever be treated the way that reality has treated me. Reality is a never-tRumper, that's only interested in harassing me & making me look bad. That's why I have instructed my Attorney General William Barr, to launch an investigation into reality and find out it's connection to the "deep state." 😁😄😂🤣
This administration is a Russian nesting doll of fraud. Soon Bunker Baby Bonespurs will claim that he doesn't know Steve Bannon well, much like all the rest of his "hired the best people"...who are in prison. Then the Liar-In-Chief will look into a mirror & claim that he never met his reflection before. 😁😅😂🤣
Stephen's speech at the end made me tear up like Samwise Gamgee's speech in LOTR: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for!
This DNC was amazing! I laughed and cried. And I felt proud like I did the day I joined the USAF. I love Joe Biden and Kamala and can’t wait for November!! 🇺🇸🎉💙🎉💙🇺🇸
I love your point, though instead of Americans being at fault, I blame the voting system for creating a polarizing two-party system that blocks people from getting the truthful information they need (because truth does not help parties win votes (or corporations win money, for that matter), as demonstrated by Trump), and wastes votes in such a way that only a small proportion of voters (the "swing voters") matter
I know you want to hear Biden's nasal voice give speeches from his basement cave everyday but that ain't gonna happen. And Biden should be arrested for the criminal acts he pulled with his son in Ukraine and his involvement with the Iran scam a few years ago.
@@donnaperez4995 I would like to know where your head is at! The so-called scam never existed! There also were NO criminal acts dealing with the Ukraine! I suggest you either get your facts straight, or get back on whatever medication you should be taking!
@@clifffix1788 And may I suggest you subscribe to at least one newspaper and stop getting your lies from CNN. It is common knowledge about the Iran scam that Obama pulled with the shipping pallets of cash payments at midnight on a private plane and Biden's admitted role in illegal activities with U.S. treasury funds (OUR TAX DOLLARS) to get his little boy out of trouble while risking the lives of thousands of innocent Ukrainians. And yes bribery in government positions is a criminal act. Maybe it's medication you need but for Heaven's sake at least use google and get some facts before making such an idiot of yourself.
"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors", said Plato. American people are paying dearly & with their lives for not voting. And the whole world is suffering. Tell them to go out and vote. VOTING IS THE CELEBRATION OF DEMOCRACY, not the campaign, not the speeches, not winning.
We fail over and over. We have passionate young voters who would give their lives for Sanders and then didn't vote. Ironic that we broke off from the UK even if it was only for rum
Plato considered everyone an inferior and insisted only a select few people had the right to determine how everyone else should live. He also hated Democracy and considered it one of the worst forms of government. He advocated for an aristocracy ruled by "Philosopher Kings" wherein only philosophers would be allowed to make decisions and everyone else who wasn't good enough to be one would just have to accept it.
No just get this through your American heads the whole world saw through this psychologically impaired individual from day 1 & you are not saving the world just America if you can
1) I am absolutely voting this year, just as I have in the past several presidential and primary elections. 2) A lot of people (myself included) are disenfranchised by the state of modern politics. The two party system has crept so far to the right that Joe Biden is effectively a republican candidate, but is running as a democrat because he's not a fascist. 3) People who can not vote for either candidate are being told that voting their heart or voting third party is a throw away vote. Weighted voting is what this country needs to we aren't pressured into another "lesser of two evils" situation again.

Joe Biden got my heart with that speech. What a great man ! I hope the American people will choose him to be their leader. Love from Brazil . P.S.: watch the whole speech! It is amazing
Thank you for that speech at the end, Stephen. What you said is actually the reason I voted for Joe in the primaries and why I am voting FOR him (not **against** trump) in the general election. There has never been a day when we questioned why Joe was a public servant because his beautiful heart has always been on full display. 💗🤗🗳 #BidenHarris2020
Yes, that was a lovely speech by Stephen. It is wonderful to be FOR someone. I'm genuinely inspired by Kamala Harris, and after learning much more about Joe Biden's story, I'm downright enthusiastic. My parents met at a Young Republicans meeting so my political life has been an interesting journey.
I told my wife the other day, "I feel so much shame, about the state of our country", after the last 4 nights I have hope again, I hope we all vote and realize how much it matters.
@@RWald8888 Actually, watching the Republicans fall on their faces will be quite reassuring. There will be two hurricanes hitting Texas and Louisiana right in the middle of it, and Trump will have no idea what to do about it.
@J S You don't think we were in financial trouble before Vivid with Trump & Co's terrible tax cuts to the 1%?! Give me a break! Government had "no choice" to give the financial aid, (flawed in certain circumstances, as aid was given, again, to some of the 1%! Shocker!), after Covid hit. Let the rebuilding begin...it will be long & difficult, but we need to start somewhere...WITHOUT Trump & Co.
What about the U.S. are you ashamed of? Black , brown, and Asian unemployment was the lowest it's been in 4 decades. Two hundred million jobs brought back to America. Prison reform was passed. Opportunity zones in the urban areas have been established. Troops were pulled out of countries that no longer needed our help. The military was rebuilt and re-equipped, Trade agreements were made that didn't require the Americans to pay unreasonable high tax and actually helped eliminate the trade deficite. We pulled out of NAFTA which took billions of American dollars per year while other members didn't pay even pay a dime. We built the wall on the Southern border that stopped the flow of drugs, human trafficking and child trafficking for sexual purposes. The economy reached the best record we've every had. The cost of prescription drugs has gone down-- while Canada paid 50 cents per dose American citizens were paying $3.00 per dose. The cost of insulin went down from $1500 every six weeks to a fraction of that cost. Why is all this shameful?
"..It's because his heart gets ahead of his words" Damn it, Colbert, I had a lump in my throat through much of Biden's speech, but I thought, now it's been a few hours, that I'd managed to return to my cynical, non-sappy self. Then... you had to go and say that. :)
It touched my heart too. Actually, the last part of this monologue did, starting from 12:06. Colbert explained in a simple way why Trump couldn't overcome the challenges of being a president. It's because he never overcame any challenges in his life. That's an objective and reasonable explanation. Right to the point without attacking the many flaws of Trump's character. And his explanation about Biden's many gaffes is only touching because you can feel it has truth in it.
@@tiararoxeanne1318 That is always how I viewed Biden's "gaffes". Sometimes his passion on a subject gets in his way of talking about it (it could also be a remnant of his long ago stuttering problem)...
This time next year I hope Colbert still have to keep doing his impersonation of Trump... as a former president now facing several criminal charges with no friends in the White House who might pardon him if he gets convicted:P
Oh, Trump will suddenly become very sick and frail man (remember Manafort?) despite his doctor saying he is the healthiest man in the planet, al miracle of good genes - and Biden will pardon him because he is a "good, compassionate man" and because of tradition. However, that compassion might not reach the rest of his family. (But for some reason I believe Jared and Ivanka, and his sons will get away with their crimes too, by the close association.)
“His heart gets ahead of his words.” This line got me some reason. The whole end was lovely. Though Biden is far from perfect, he is essentially a good man and by god the whole world needs that now.
@@KenziBabenzi Are you the type of moron that needs a case to be presented to you in order to decide what's right or wrong? It's very apparent that your mind is set so why comment at all🤔🙄. No disrespect to you, but it seems that you're just gaslighting. I appreciate the irony of you asking if you're an idiot.
It's so important to remember that it is not Biden's job alone to fix everything. It's time for Americans to actively participate in making our country what it's meant to be. We cannot afford to elect a "savior" and then sit back and complain for four years.
Completely agree. Think back to when Obama was first running and elected. I feel like that mentality was applied to him. Then, when things didn't go exactly as people had hoped, they complained about it...not enough to vote him out in 2012, but there still was a level of disappointment. That's alot for any one person to take responsibility for. There's a level of laziness that wants to shove off the individual's responsibility to someone else.
Elena Christian that’s it. Together we rise and work to resurrect our country from the ashes of this Trump Presidency instead of expecting Biden to do it all
If only temporarily ... like ... until Trump is removed from the WH, indicted legally, and all his crap is undone. Until then please assemble gawddamit. In 2022 y'all can fly apart and form a new party to the Left of Donkey while the USS Republican burns, sinks and the rats swim leftward also.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus “he goes to church so regularly he doesn’t even need tear gas and a bunch of federalize troops to get there” - this should be a campaign ad!
Yeah, religion again, isn't that what helped Trump get into the Oval Office in the first place by conning the gullible. A candidate's religion shouldn't be what is important, you can have morality without idolatry. Sure, Trump is probably an Atheist, but, no Atheist would vote for him because we are not blinded by all the mention's of god. Besides, as Trump thinks he is god then Atheists wouldn't want to vote for him as we don't believe in him. I believe Biden is a good man, but, he was born that way, not because he believes in some stuff in a book written 2000 years ago.

Honestly, when Colbert gets serious, he really hits home. Everything he said was true. In spite of his flaws, Biden at least has a concept of humanity.
@@sadiestoltzfus9798 I hear you, Sadie. But unless we have reasonable steady and stable people in government, rich though they are, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to change the system or the politicians enough for it to work better for all of us, for it to be representative of Americans from all walks of life. You may not agree, and that's ok. I don't know you, but think I understand something about that cynicism toward the government and I think a lot of us share it. I just know that too much cynicism has never helped me move forward or work for anything better. Anyway, take care.
I started watching your show once this pandemic started to just catch a few moments, just a few minutes where I could laugh about all the craziness of this year and take a breather from the cruelty - but when u ended your monologue tonight without a punchline but with an honest assessment of the good man Joe Biden is - I cried happy tears and felt hope 💙🇺🇸
@Kelli Barnhouse I don't know enough about Greece or Turkey to comment, but the UK has done a great job of screwing itself over. I'm not sure how much credit should be given to Russia on that one.
I dunno mate. I’m from the UK and we have a bunch of lying manipulators in charge too. And some parts of Europe are much worse. Orban in Hungary, Duda in Poland. Both restricting free speech, targeting minorities, narrowing what it means to be a patriot. I’m not saying all this is because of Trump, but this current tide of populism is genuinely scary. It could turn into full on fascism so quickly. My great aunt Betty is 96 and still sharp. Last year we were discussing Trump and Brexit. I asked her how concerned she was. She said, “it feels like the 1930s”. We all need to be vigilant about preserving democracy in our own countries and supporting those doing the same overseas. Otherwise things could get seriously fucking dark.

Biden's speech was incredible. One thing that happened to stick out the most to me was we definitely do not thank President Obama enough. He did so much only to have Trump come behind him and try to destroy it all. Thank you President Obama! ❤️
@COD GOD -- When President Obama assumed office, the country was in its worst financial straits since the Great Depression. His policies resulted in a record-long number of months of new job creation that spilled into Trump's term, allowing Trump to take credit for all of it -- until, of course, Trump's unbelievably botched handling of COVID-19 shattered the economy.
Viper Plays Biden’s been in govt for 45 years, it’s obvious he doesn’t care for you. We all hate the two party system right? And both party’s hate trump right? Why can’t you see that trump is our chance away from these elitist that we hate. You are so stupid yet think you are so smart, the irony.
bombfirst157 Yes, I would love to respond. Biden may make gaffes and be old, but he he knows the difference between wrong and right. He’s made mistakes in the past but has the experience to actually do something about Covid instead of pretending its not real. Trump also commonly mispronounces and forgets things too so do not act like he’s innocent of gaffes either.
Should hunter Biden be pardoned? He will be under major fire if Joe wins Also the Ukraine scandal will mire the Biden presidency in years of investigation should Biden win, will be complete stalemate

News leak: Wednesday, January 20, 2021 I read Trump is being measured for an ankle sex predator bracelet The Judge specified that the monitor should not be on the limb with the Trump "bone spur".

@sbranagh1 ... wouldn’t surprise me. Despite The Lincoln Project releasing two videos showing images of Trump socialising on many occasions with Epstein and Maxwell ... this following story is being ignored by mainstream media ... possibly due to a gag order or an ongoing federal investigation 👉🏼 In 2016 Trump was accused of raping a 13 year old girl at one of Epsteins’ parties. She was forced to drop her case 4 days before the election due to death threats. Re: Epstein, Trump, Barr and Ghislaine Maxwell - Court Filing : Jane Doe v.s. Trump and Epstein (1:16-cv-04642, SDNY) “A judge has ordered a status conference hearing into a lawsuit submitted by a woman who claims Donald Trump raped her when she was 13-years-old in 1994.” Federal Judge Ronnie Abrams has ordered the hearing for 16 December in a New York court. She has asked for both sides to provide information to assist the Court in advancing the case to settlement or trial. In the lawsuit the plaintiff, identifed by the pseudonym Jane Doe, alleges Mr Trump "initiated sexual contact" with her at four different parties when she was 13. At the fourth encounter, she alleges he tied her to a bed "then proceeded to forcibly rape" her. She says she was lured to the parties, held by billionaire-paedophile Jeffrey Epstein - who is also a defendant in the case - "by promises of money and a modeling career". What is Donald Trump's response? Mr Trump has repeatedly denied the allegations. “As I have said before, the allegations are categorically untrue and an obvious publicity stunt aimed at smearing my client,” Alan Garten, Mr Trump’s attorney, told LawNewz.com. “In the event we are actually served this time, we intend to move for sanctions for this frivolous filing.” In the lawsuit a witness named as Tiffany Doe alleges she saw both Mr Trump and Epstein repeatedly rape the plaintiff. The plaintiff's third filing of the lawsuit adds a third witness, referred to in court documents as Joan Doe, who says she can corroborate the accusations. “In the 1994-95 school year, I was told by the plaintiff in Jane Doe v. Trump and Epstein (1:16-cv-04642, SDNY) that the plaintiff was subject to sexual contact by the Defendants at parties in New York City during the summer of 1994,” she said in a declaration, according to LawNewz.com. Jane Doe withdrew her case only days prior to the election when her lawyer cited numerous death threats against her and her family by people working for Trump. “A woman who is suing Donald Trump for allegedly raping her as a child abandoned a plan to speak publicly on Wednesday, citing death threats.” The woman, known by the pseudonym Jane Doe, hid from media who were invited to her lawyer’s Los Angeles office for a press conference in which she was expected to reveal her identity. Instead, her attorney, Lisa Bloom, cancelled the event in a brief, apologetic statement to a phalanx of cameras. “Jane Doe has received numerous threats today as have all the Trump accusers that I have represented. She has decided she is too afraid to show her face. She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear. We’re going to have to reschedule. I apologize to all of you who came. I have nothing further.” 👉🏼🤬 The reason why Trump has been “persecuted” since before he was elected ... he’s a life-long crook with the criminal record to prove it 👉🏼 th-cam.com/video/8WSfmGTUDp4/w-d-xo.html In the case of the woman who claimed she was raped by Trump when she was 13 years old at one of Epsteins’ parties ... she only dropped her case 4 days before the election with her lawyer publicly citing that she was living in terrible fear due to numerous death threats against her and her family ... but since her name was never revealed to the public, only Trump knew who to threaten ... then Epstein dies of strangulation in prison before he can testify ... while Trumps’ “Roy Cohn”, William Barr ... is in charge of the prison system ... recently it was reported that Barr attempted to visit Ghislaine Maxwell. th-cam.com/video/lKXrEib9VZA/w-d-xo.html 😳 ... It wouldn’t even make it as a script for a shitty B-grade crime movie because it is so obvious. 👉🏼 th-cam.com/video/4OQIHYQ-SVY/w-d-xo.html I predict that if Trump cheats to win (again) ... he will lose the Senate and be impeached again ... and this time he will be removed ... (Barr will be impeached too) then, Trump and his businesses and organization/s will be subjected to the largest RICO investigation in history. 👉🏼 th-cam.com/video/tpdJuALELi0/w-d-xo.html TRUMP + EPSTEIN + BARR + MAXWELL ... Rape and Murder 👉🏼 th-cam.com/play/PLnO1WA8xbIP6l0lcCOcd58nEt-NKfyYmh.html Trump will likely pardon Maxwell so his goons can get to her and make her disappear ...

For real. They should eliminate audiences for debates, too. It just becomes a performance and a show.
We shouldn't let candidates lean on applause lines, we should let their ideas stand on their own merit--without booing/cheering.
I'm from the UK and when I watch American TV its so annoying when you guys clap every minute. Just let the person talk

Trump's scales overlap each other...
You people are funny. Sure, you can't do much worse than Trump, but Colbert is simply doing his very best to get people to vote and get Donald out of the White House. Biden has credible sexual assault claims against him, is a creepy-ass child sniffer, a pathetic speaker, a DNC shill with no actual policies, a career politician who's repeatedly tried to take away social security, a pro-Iraq war voter, has zero intention to get any sort of Medicare program going, and the list goes on. Settling for him is entirely understandable when the alternative is four more years of an international embarrassment and threat, but getting emotional over Colbert's words?! Give me a fucking break. P.S. His VP is an awful person too.
His heart speaks before his words that’s a damn good quote
I shouted YES when he said that. Who cares that he often stumbles with his words. His heart is in the right place, as opposed to the alternative, who has no heart.
Plus, he actually nailed this speech! He actually managed to paint a vivid picture of a post nightmare America for us to hope for.

I love your point, though instead of Americans being at fault, I blame the voting system for creating a polarizing two-party system that blocks people from getting the truthful information they need (because truth does not help parties win votes (or corporations win money, for that matter), as demonstrated by Trump), and wastes votes in such a way that only a small proportion of voters (the "swing voters") matter

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors", said Plato. American people are paying dearly & with their lives for not voting. And the whole world is suffering. Tell them to go out and vote. VOTING IS THE CELEBRATION OF DEMOCRACY, not the campaign, not the speeches, not winning.
We fail over and over. We have passionate young voters who would give their lives for Sanders and then didn't vote. Ironic that we broke off from the UK even if it was only for rum
Plato considered everyone an inferior and insisted only a select few people had the right to determine how everyone else should live. He also hated Democracy and considered it one of the worst forms of government. He advocated for an aristocracy ruled by "Philosopher Kings" wherein only philosophers would be allowed to make decisions and everyone else who wasn't good enough to be one would just have to accept it.

This time next year I hope I won't be wondering why Americans did not vote yet again. Please vote!
1) I am absolutely voting this year, just as I have in the past several presidential and primary elections.
2) A lot of people (myself included) are disenfranchised by the state of modern politics. The two party system has crept so far to the right that Joe Biden is effectively a republican candidate, but is running as a democrat because he's not a fascist.
3) People who can not vote for either candidate are being told that voting their heart or voting third party is a throw away vote. Weighted voting is what this country needs to we aren't pressured into another "lesser of two evils" situation again.

What about the U.S. are you ashamed of? Black , brown, and Asian unemployment was the lowest it's been in 4 decades. Two hundred million jobs brought back to America. Prison reform was passed. Opportunity zones in the urban areas have been established. Troops were pulled out of countries that no longer needed our help. The military was rebuilt and re-equipped, Trade agreements were made that didn't require the Americans to pay unreasonable high tax and actually helped eliminate the trade deficite. We pulled out of NAFTA which took billions of American dollars per year while other members didn't pay even pay a dime. We built the wall on the Southern border that stopped the flow of drugs, human trafficking and child trafficking for sexual purposes. The economy reached the best record we've every had. The cost of prescription drugs has gone down-- while Canada paid 50 cents per dose American citizens were paying $3.00 per dose. The cost of insulin went down from $1500 every six weeks to a fraction of that cost. Why is all this shameful?
Stephen, that monologue..., was exceptionally inspiring. I cried. Thank you. 💙💙💙
"..It's because his heart gets ahead of his words"
Damn it, Colbert, I had a lump in my throat through much of Biden's speech, but I thought, now it's been a few hours, that I'd managed to return to my cynical, non-sappy self. Then... you had to go and say that. :)
I'm still waiting for his punchline.
It touched my heart too. Actually, the last part of this monologue did, starting from 12:06. Colbert explained in a simple way why Trump couldn't overcome the challenges of being a president. It's because he never overcame any challenges in his life. That's an objective and reasonable explanation. Right to the point without attacking the many flaws of Trump's character. And his explanation about Biden's many gaffes is only touching because you can feel it has truth in it.
CLASSIC!!!
@@tiararoxeanne1318 That is always how I viewed Biden's "gaffes". Sometimes his passion on a subject gets in his way of talking about it (it could also be a remnant of his long ago stuttering problem)...

He'll have more than enough pawns in place in all parts of government and the justice system.
Ben- I totally agree!
Oh, Trump will suddenly become very sick and frail man (remember Manafort?) despite his doctor saying he is the healthiest man in the planet, al miracle of good genes - and Biden will pardon him because he is a "good, compassionate man" and because of tradition. However, that compassion might not reach the rest of his family. (But for some reason I believe Jared and Ivanka, and his sons will get away with their crimes too, by the close association.)
@Mad Media Cant pardon him for state crimes right?

Yeah, that what Obama tried to tell time and time. Voting is not enough. It's the minimum for citizens.
Completely agree. Think back to when Obama was first running and elected. I feel like that mentality was applied to him. Then, when things didn't go exactly as people had hoped, they complained about it...not enough to vote him out in 2012, but there still was a level of disappointment. That's alot for any one person to take responsibility for. There's a level of laziness that wants to shove off the individual's responsibility to someone else.

Yeah, religion again, isn't that what helped Trump get into the Oval Office in the first place by conning the gullible. A candidate's religion shouldn't be what is important, you can have morality without idolatry. Sure, Trump is probably an Atheist, but, no Atheist would vote for him because we are not blinded by all the mention's of god. Besides, as Trump thinks he is god then Atheists wouldn't want to vote for him as we don't believe in him.

Also the Ukraine scandal will mire the Biden presidency in years of investigation should Biden win, will be complete stalemate
Mail in your ballot early- first class and with 2 stamps 💓☀💝
Use a ballot box!
I thought no postage required this year? At least that’s true here in California!
Will they mail out the ballots to us automatically or do we need to request it?
As far as I know you need to request your mail in ballot and vote as absentee. It depends on your state. Go to your state's election board web site for instructions. 😊
Genevieve If you’re in California, your ballot will be mailed to you automatically (provided you have registered to vote). Governor Newsom announced that back on May 8! But if you’re not in California, I would do exactly what Jessica George suggested.
I truly love watching your show.👏🥰👍
11:46 That's all I needed to hear...a loud convincing "YES!" straight from the gut (and heart) lol
WoW! That opening scene is amazing!!! Watched it like ... 4 times!
To whomsoever reading this: America please vote and vote responsibly to restore democracy back to your citizens and hope for the rest of the world.
We're doing our best, thank you.

Time to VOTE OUT those authoritarian anarchist Liberal Mayors shutting down our businesses, sending COVID patients to elder homes, and police on drug raids to the wrong houses; letting criminal mobs loot, and burn down small minority-owned businesses, letting drug gangs rape, pimp, and murder innocent children with impunity, spreading race war and anti-white propaganda in our schools and yellow journalism in our sports, movies and video games, promoting communism, shutting down free thought and free speech, killing jobs with unnecessary regulations, being sellouts to foreign nations, giving free stuff to illegals and not to our own overtaxed tax-paying citizens, and wasting billions of taxpayer dollars meant to help the homeless, sick and poor and spending it for themselves!
I was a Democrat who walked away, time to restore America before the cultural revolution actually removes our democracy and way of life like what happened in poor China.
Yang 2024 hopefully! But Trump 2020 as we don't want the communist Antifa/BLM to win!
@@akoubek3 completely agree
Biden is academically able and athletically outstanding.
Mr. Colbert. I was drinking coffee when you were talking about Biden's mother and her threats towards a nun

I'd be honored if some fellow concerned Americans who appreciate the music of Prince & Tom Petty would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PURPLE RAIN and INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN in tribute to 2 of the purest artists that the USA has ever produced. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital effects. Vote BIDEN '020 to stop the dictatorship & restore the Constitution!

News leak: Wednesday, January 20, 2021
I read Trump is being measured for an ankle sex predator bracelet The Judge specified that the monitor should not be on the limb with the Trump "bone spur". The attorneys reported that Trump could not recall which limb had been "spurred" due to failing memory and global cognitive collapse.
@sbranagh1 ... wouldn’t surprise me.
Despite The Lincoln Project releasing two videos showing images of Trump socialising on many occasions with Epstein and Maxwell ... this following story is being ignored by mainstream media ... possibly due to a gag order or an ongoing federal investigation 👉🏼
In 2016 Trump was accused of raping a 13 year old girl at one of Epsteins’ parties. She was forced to drop her case 4 days before the election due to death threats.
Re: Epstein, Trump, Barr and Ghislaine Maxwell - Court Filing : Jane Doe v.s. Trump and Epstein (1:16-cv-04642, SDNY)
“A judge has ordered a status conference hearing into a lawsuit submitted by a woman who claims Donald Trump raped her when she was 13-years-old in 1994.”
Federal Judge Ronnie Abrams has ordered the hearing for 16 December in a New York court. She has asked for both sides to provide information to assist the Court in advancing the case to settlement or trial.
In the lawsuit the plaintiff, identifed by the pseudonym Jane Doe, alleges Mr Trump "initiated sexual contact" with her at four different parties when she was 13.
At the fourth encounter, she alleges he tied her to a bed "then proceeded to forcibly rape" her.
She says she was lured to the parties, held by billionaire-paedophile Jeffrey Epstein - who is also a defendant in the case - "by promises of money and a modeling career".
What is Donald Trump's response? Mr Trump has repeatedly denied the allegations. “As I have said before, the allegations are categorically untrue and an obvious publicity stunt aimed at smearing my client,” Alan Garten, Mr Trump’s attorney, told LawNewz.com. “In the event we are actually served this time, we intend to move for sanctions for this frivolous filing.”
In the lawsuit a witness named as Tiffany Doe alleges she saw both Mr Trump and Epstein repeatedly rape the plaintiff.
The plaintiff's third filing of the lawsuit adds a third witness, referred to in court documents as Joan Doe, who says she can corroborate the accusations.
“In the 1994-95 school year, I was told by the plaintiff in Jane Doe v. Trump and Epstein (1:16-cv-04642, SDNY) that the plaintiff was subject to sexual contact by the Defendants at parties in New York City during the summer of 1994,” she said in a declaration, according to LawNewz.com.
Jane Doe withdrew her case only days prior to the election when her lawyer cited numerous death threats against her and her family by people working for Trump.
“A woman who is suing Donald Trump for allegedly raping her as a child abandoned a plan to speak publicly on Wednesday, citing death threats.”
The woman, known by the pseudonym Jane Doe, hid from media who were invited to her lawyer’s Los Angeles office for a press conference in which she was expected to reveal her identity.
Instead, her attorney, Lisa Bloom, cancelled the event in a brief, apologetic statement to a phalanx of cameras.
“Jane Doe has received numerous threats today as have all the Trump accusers that I have represented. She has decided she is too afraid to show her face. She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear. We’re going to have to reschedule. I apologize to all of you who came. I have nothing further.”
👉🏼🤬
The reason why Trump has been “persecuted” since before he was elected ... he’s a life-long crook with the criminal record to prove it
👉🏼 th-cam.com/video/8WSfmGTUDp4/w-d-xo.html
In the case of the woman who claimed she was raped by Trump when she was 13 years old at one of Epsteins’ parties ... she only dropped her case 4 days before the election with her lawyer publicly citing that she was living in terrible fear due to numerous death threats against her and her family ... but since her name was never revealed to the public, only Trump knew who to threaten ... then Epstein dies of strangulation in prison before he can testify ... while Trumps’ “Roy Cohn”, William Barr ... is in charge of the prison system ... recently it was reported that Barr attempted to visit Ghislaine Maxwell. th-cam.com/video/lKXrEib9VZA/w-d-xo.html
😳 ... It wouldn’t even make it as a script for a shitty B-grade crime movie because it is so obvious.
👉🏼 th-cam.com/video/4OQIHYQ-SVY/w-d-xo.html
I predict that if Trump cheats to win (again) ... he will lose the Senate and be impeached again ... and this time he will be removed ... (Barr will be impeached too) then, Trump and his businesses and organization/s will be subjected to the largest RICO investigation in history.

@Jeremy Shaffer I hope you realize that Remedi here has a video of a cat wanting to eat noodles. That honestly makes her about 100x cooler than you bro.
@@vincentdemme4144 His manners make me think he doesn't have a job himself. The fact he tries to target having a job out of nowhere makes me think he probably had very low education level in his life and was a high school drop out living on the system doing drugs and following the latest dumb trend out there. By the way i had as much knowledge of his life as he does of anyone having a job that he tried to tell that they need to get a a job. lol It's just a rhetorical remark.
You will be alright, former president Bill "Slick Willie" Clinton will be featured continually lol. The episodes you may want to focus on are "I like raping, why I choose pedophilia over that hag I call hillary" and "Tuna flavored cigars, it's what gentlemen prefer". The Indictments are coming lol.
10 points to Bloomberg for that dramatic jokey acting! He knows how to deal with Trump’s ego!
You've tried tRump & Pence...now try common sense! A vote 4 Donald is like a vote to find out if rock bottom has a basement. At this point I'd gladly take a rock with a face painted on it behind a podium over the disaster that is Bunker Baby Bonespurs! 🤢🤮😵
Good answer!

Thank you so much for your heartfelt statement at the end Stephen. There is a time to be serious and you nailed it.
12:06 The last part is one of the best of Colbert's monologues. It has equal gravitas as the Seth Meyers' monologue after Trump elected 4 years ago. It has passion, wisdom, hopes, and plea to Americans to vote for the better leader. The usual firecracker Colbert is funny, especially when he talks about politics, which is clearly where his passions lay. But the calmer and somber Colbert is a rare gem👍
Mayor Pete as Spiderman is brilliant...that intro!!
When speaking the last few minutes of this video those words were beautiful that you told a Joe Biden. It brought tears to my eyes. It was a moving and touching sentimental praise.❤🇺🇸
The shows without an audience have been a total joy. I'm really not looking forward to the return of over the top screaming and whooping at every word.
Hear hear.
I agree but I think it's gonna be a while before we are able to have audiences at shows.
