just in time, as Carr announce there would be "minder" on the network to monitor anti-trump criticism.

Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

Lol. When a child molester hates you, you’re doing something right.

Because his thinner than the skin of a grape.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 34 minutes ago

not thinner than the amount orange concealer/foundation he uses.

Unlike you, Donny, Stephen Colbert is well loved and will land gracefully on his feet in another great role after his exit from The Late Show. Unlike you, Donny, Colbert has genuine friends and fans that think he's a great entertainer and enjoy being around him. I bet that chaps your ass pretty badly.

Stephen probably said something true about him.

Dude is losing ground on every front. He wanted to feel strong again. The rats are fleeing the sinking ship

Colbert should 100% run for office. He already has an audience, and there is no republican that could even come close to debating him.

Worked for Zelensky in Ukraine

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

He jokingly ran for office in 2004 I believe. He should do it for real. He would absolutely wipe the floor with Vance.

Narcissists hate being laughed at.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 points 3 hours ago

He can’t always tell when he’s being laughed at. He posted a clip of a satirical comedy in his first term because he thought it was sincere.

This is some IMAX level of projection.

Stephan Colbert should just give up, sell Colbert Tower and all his other properties, then move to Russia.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

He's learned in the last ten years that he can say whatever he wants and his lickspittles will applaud. Plus dementia has removed any filters he ever might have had.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 32 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Because he's a petty lil bitch with the thinnest skin on earth.

[–] Lemmchen@feddit.org 7 points 5 hours ago

Orangest skin, too.

In lieu of any solid Democrat candidates, a Stewart/Colbert ticket in 2028 looks pretty good. Both are very smart, well-intentioned, and well-grounded people.

How about Conan O'Brien as Secretary of State or WH Chief of Staff?

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

Conan O'Brien Must Go fix our diplomatic mess.

Besides, how can millions of viewers be wrong?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 21 points 7 hours ago

Ask Fox News.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

But they did cancel his show right? Isn't this the last season of the Tonight Show?

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

The Late Show and yes, CBS cancelled it. The last episode airs May 2026.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 points 3 hours ago

He can’t remember that long ago.

Every accusation is a confession.
