Margaret Hoover? Apparently her job at PBS is actually apologist for GQP voter suppression. Those laws ARE Draconian. They allow Republicans to take over election boards of any county they don’t win in, so they can cheat like they tried to in the last election!!! What’s the point of an election if there’s a law in place that allows one side to strike down results if the other side wins? Good fucking grief.
Reply*I simply quoted* a couple of the jokes in this video, and between clicking COMMENT and clicking Refresh, the auto-censor removes my comment. So the joke about the corporate economy suffering and Bezos apparently can’t be repeated. I doubt there’s any problem mentioning the ships with long, skinny legs. Very funny video. The censorship, though, is sad.
ReplyPast time for corporations and the rich to start paying their fare share of taxes!
ReplyHow will Lindsey Graham defend his house in South Carolina? He’s either in DC or up tRump’s a$$ in Mar-a-lago.
ReplyDivert funds from the Pentagon budget. It’s a no-brainer.
ReplyWelcome to Joe Bidens America!
Funding for India approved.
ReplyAt least they stopped taxing Urine. Bastards.
ReplyRepublicans want AR-15’s in case they have to kill Americans. I want an AR-15 in case we get invaded by another country. There’s a difference.
ReplyI’m beginning to love these just as much as the show itself! That Bezos joke had me rolling!!
ReplyAs a constituent of Graham’s… people wouldn’t be worried about him and his guns because we never see him here anyway. More than likely he’d be down in Florida with his lips glued to Trump’s butt. At least Cruz was briefly in Texas during their winter storm before leaving. While SC was having the worst covid stats in the nation Graham was down at the border trying to push Trump’s agenda. I don’t remember Graham being here during any natural disaster over the years. Colbert did more to help out.
Replyim tired of the pressure that comes w/ trying to change the world w/ a tweet.
ReplyShaddap, margret hoover. thanks.
ReplyThe pandemic was not ‘beyond our control’, it was very much within human power to manage, just like *many other* countries successfully did. WTF is wrong with the people in the US to declare that because *they* fucked up that the problem is unsolvable? Wearing masks, distancing, embracing vaccines, these things were all known to improve things, instead the US had millions listening to a moron that said to drink bleach. Well, news flash, if you listen to idiots that tell you to drink bleach to solve a problem, *most* problems will seem to be unsolvable.
Edit: Oh really, any particular *reason* the non-white voters in Georgia JUST MAYBE felt they needed to get out and vote in the last election?? Maybe a big stupid one with the dumbest looking hair you’ve ever seen, that also happens to be really racist?
ReplyWho the hell is this bimbo? Word-reader Barbie? That’s the quality of “Firing Line” talking mouths nowadays? Glad I stopped watching 30 years ago. What a disaster this airhead is. “Isn’t racism great? It inspires these beautiful laws against it. I feel racism gets a bad rap.” Holy shit, that is on PBS? Good job, Kochs
ReplyGraham needs to stop watching zombie movies.
ReplyRepublicans assume that what Hollywood shows in movies is reality. That’s why they always go for actors playing heroes on screen, like Reagan, Eastwood and Trump. Lindsey is a different story, as he is more of a comedy character. Even holding an assault weapon, he comes across as a wimp.
ReplyWhy the eff would gang members go to Lindsey’s house? Paranoia is a terrible disease
ReplyHow many folks think these new voting laws would stand up in a court of law?
ReplyWhen the natural disaster of people literally freezing to death in Texas recently happened, there were 2 gangs~ Those who got together including Beto and AOC with the community to assist those in need, like everybody.
ReplyThen there was the Ted Cruz family gang that stormed the border for Cancun!
I didn’t know that Margaret has a sense of humor. Usually, right wingers are all business, at least in public.
ReplyIt’s hard to believe LadyG would be against being ganged.
ReplyContinual Republican fearmongering has created a culture of paranoid delusion and baseless conspiracy theories; 90% of Republican policies are driven by fear.
Reply“Oh buddy, if I only had a time machine with a gonad-seeking boxing glove.”
ReplyMy English friend is more entertaining. Too bad, we’re off-line.
ReplyLove you, Stephen. 😀
just remember he cried like a little bitch while hiding in a secret closet when the gang stormed the capitol.
ReplyThe pandemic wasn’t out of your control though, it was intentionally mismanaged despite efforts by the NIH & CDC, up until the idiot was voted out of office anyway.
ReplyBetter than corporate shill Colbert
ReplyHow to pay for infrastructure?
ReplyHow about we stop paying ten dudes $20 an hour, to watch one guy dig a ditch along the highway?
Oh my god Colbert are you on vacation again? Where is the new content?? I’m having withdrawals.
ReplyDid all Republican women graduate form the Tammy Fay Baker school of cosmetics?
ReplyHow do we pay for it? Well, we tax and then eat the rich, of course!
ReplyI miss the show where colbert told me the news, not these weird cartoons.
Replyi love stephen colbert but like.. i rly am not feeling this tooning out with the news stuff
ReplyWhat would we do without all those silly southern politicians that want to reinstate Jim Crow laws? They keep us on our feet and on the streets.
ReplyThis would be so much better if it had some funny in it.
ReplyMargaret Hoover is disgusting.
ReplyWhat is that fake face woman? Anything genuine in her? Smile? Words? Just lies?
ReplyTime for Democrats to get portable copy machines and go door to door to make copies of ID s for the folks who choose to use mail in ballots. Damn Republican thugs will stop at nothing to inconvenience the poor voters who might be intelligent enough to vote for their own self interest and survival over voting for the guys empowering the wealthy corporations who are against health care and wages enough to make decent life affordable.
Reply“Tax and spend” is a hell of a lot better than “print money and spend.” That said, BOTH are a lot better than not addressing important issues.
ReplyGood freakin god she is unreal gorgeous, who is this woman??
ReplyI just want you to stop for just one moment and appreciate that there are 19 types of water ice. I didn’t even know water ice had subkinds!
ReplyHoly crap, wild gangs are ravaging South Carolina?
ReplyMan, I’m glad I live in Portland Oregon.
Margaret, 0:30 Please catch up! There is no such thing as National Debt in a fiat based currency economy, especially when petrodollars are the global standard currency. The Fed can and does print money at will and lend it out at Zero pct interest. The National Debt is a myth told to the populace to make them believe they live in a world of constant scarcity. Additionally that which is called the National Debt is merely one side of a Ledger, the other side is the US Economy, and any Debit on the National Debt side is a Credit on the US Economy side. If the National Debt was $1T in 1980 and now is $27T and before CoVid we had the Greatest Economy ever, that is incongruent reasoning if you propose that the National Debt is actually a problem.
ReplyI wonder how we pay for Margare’ts extensive plastic surgery?
ReplyLindsey Graham can you lead the way in arms distribution self sacrifice for your fellow countryman.
Reply“we are the natural disaster gang – we gang bang during and after natrual disasters.” Lindsey Graham, you’re one strange fascist.
Reply“My house will be the last one that the gang will come to because I can defend myself”. When in reality the bad guys will have guns too and will probably focus on the other guys with guns first. The guy flashing his assault rifle is the FIRST person that a mass shooter will kill. He really thinks that if there is a disaster big enough to take out the police that he would still have his gun?
ReplyLegalize weed and pay for all the cool stuff we need in this country.
ReplyEvery person claiming the bill does not make handing out water is a liar. “No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any person distribute or display any campaign material, nor shall any person give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector,”
ReplyWhat the fuck is this?!
ReplyYikes at Hoover’s take on the new voting restriction laws. Any workarounds that voters were able to achieve in the 2020 election have been further restricted by the new draconian set. Hoover doesn’t feel as though new ID laws aren’t a form of poll tax? How does she feel about requiring notaries to sign off on mail in votes as well (see Arizona’s stupid laws going into effect soon)? Restricting the number of polling sites to ensure voting in person takes 12+ hours in horrid environmental conditions? Further restricting the number of valid drop off locations for mail in voting, dismantling the Post Office’s ability to deal with bulk vote surges and making in-person voting (and substantial longer lines) the new normal? The more hoops you force voters to jump through, the fewer and fewer who will have the time and resources to do so. Each and every one of these restrictions and conditions should be considered an undemocractic imposition put into place by a minority party trying to maintain their foothold on power.
ReplyWhile I agree with everything they’re saying, I feel like this is just obnoxious…
ReplyLOL! Thank you
ReplyAsk her about voter roll purges, and be sure to have Greg Palast on to ‘discuss’ it with her.
ReplyIf a natural disaster were to hit South Carolina as a sitting US senator shouldn’t Lindsey Graham the organizing help for his state?! No, I guess not. While his neighbors are organizing to distribute the help that will surely be coming to that state Lindsay will be mowing down random people in his neighborhood for fear that they might join a gang someday. Actually that video tells me he is the one person in that state that should not have any dangerous weapons or sharp objects! Because he is surely insane
ReplyGet real. If the shit hits the fan he will be chilling on some island his constituents und their ar15s be damned. Stop the BS virtue signaling
ReplyIts already paid for…..all they have to do is redirect the money from the exploded and bloated defense budget.
ReplyWhat else could 800 billion do
So the GOP in Georgia is very quick to insist that voters, standing in line at polling places must _not_ be allowed to be given water, but are _just_ as quick to insist on the right to bear arms? Does this mean that GOP candidates are not likely to object to dehydrated voters (of _any_ ethnic group) in line at polling places, prominently displaying firearms?
ReplyWhy are they giving air time to these dumb people?
ReplyThanks for the creativity and humor! Truly talented crew!
Reply“Moderate” Democrats. Like there is some sort of spectrum? Are there “Conservative” Democrats?
ReplyGive me a break. Democrats, Republicans, they all put kids in cages, bail out banks, and give tax breaks to the rich.
It isn’t a two party system. It’s just a two headed snake.
WTF is wrong with her face
ReplyIn Canada, you need to be registered to vote and then show government ID when you vote. You can register at the voting station too but you still have to show ID.
ReplyWhat is wrong with America when a piece of identification is too difficult to obtain. How do you buy alcohol or guns or go to the hospital or have a bank account etc.
Get it together people.
Blah blah blah nonsense
ReplyCaptions please. Late Show has them, so why not here?
ReplyPlz Joe, make it sustainable (without petroleum) so future generations may enjoy life at all! Cuz what we’re facing is climate chaos. Nothing stabilizes climate like forests, so plz reforest. Then do that with a FJG & you’ll win for sure.
ReplyWheres stephen
ReplyWait, you mean boats DON”T have long skinny legs?!
i am shook
ReplyHoly shit I thought the lady was acting like one of the usual types of ppl you find on the right side cause the whole thing seemed like an ironic news cast. She was fully serious…
ReplyMargaret Hoover makes no f**king sense. Her smarmy attempt to defend the Georgia law is ignorant of both history and legal precedent.
ReplyIf a natural disaster happened near Lindsey Graham, he’d be relocating himself so freakin’ fast
ReplyLindsey, there WAS a natural disaster in South Carolina. It was your reelection.
ReplyBiden and Colbert should sleep together. They’re both over the hill and progressive disciples who do what the muppet masters tell them.
ReplyHow to pay for it? With money? Where to get the money? IDK but ive heard Jeff Bezos made 70 billions last year. Elon Musk 140 billions. Just in one year.
Nah, Im kidding, let do away with social security and books for blind kids. Capitalism really is the best system.
ReplyMan, the politician on this video is just as much of a garbage person as everyone in the GQP.
ReplyYes to HR1
Replythe swiss have more guns per capita than usa.. damn Jimmy thought you knew better
ReplyUgh, it’s just poorly written bill. No biggie.
ReplyDidn’t Isaac Kappy call this guy out?
Replystupid indignation… the right to be wrong and upset with every one else for your own blatant stupidity. It’s your right to call others intolerant of you illegal treason which is not protected speech under the first amendment just as the second amendment doesn’t privilege you to dress and arm your self as a navy seal on a mission in any civil context. The “regulated militia” is the County Sheriff so who else is interpreting constitution otherwise is a fraud.
ReplyProbably completely democratic picture of a plantation.
How did they not see it…..OH. They’re white.
Replythe fuck is this
ReplyI think the new mentality from privileged white folks who do all this virtue-signaling is fake asf. Getting called a racist worse to them than actually being one if we gon be honest.
ReplyThe real reason Democrats want HR1 is to cheat! Their stupid lying policies fake polls, voting is the only thing where they want no ID so illegals can vote like they do in California
ReplyThe ‘moderate Democratic wing of the Republican Party’; funny and depressing at the same time.
ReplyNow people know where to get a gun, Just go to his house!
ReplyBut rich people don’t use infrastructure why make them pay it?… I mean roads and bridges?… The people just use their private jets….
ReplyHer makeup is trash. Risky to use a leaky mascara to do your cutcrease for you, and this is how it turns out.
