Its failed EX president
ReplyTrump retains his support, not in spite of being a corrupt, deceitful bigot, but because of it. He, isn’t the issue, it’s that when millions of Americans are asked to behave like adults, they don’t know how to.
ReplyI expect a beating for writing this. China deserves more recognition for providing an early warning to the world about a very odd new contagion, a wealth of useful info for big pharma to leap into creating vaccines based on the genetic sequencing and its morphology. COVID is nothing like seasonal flu or common cold. It’s highly contagious during the incubation period of 14 days. Despite early errors of judgement, *China gave the world everything needed to save lives.* If Dump had done his job, many hundreds of thousands of victims would have lived. China and most Asian cultures are very sensative to bull horn criticism yet soft diplomacy does work. Compare the death toll of west asia and asia to America, Canada and EU. Asia got COVID and followed pandemic plans and it was a relatively minor problem. The US (Dump) has all of the diplomatic skills of the Black Death. With the exception of Dump, the world was waiting for a major pandemic.
ReplyProject there much?
Replyyou are a meenie, meenie me
ReplyTrump needs to be banned from society.
Reply“…must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate out electoral process.”
Ironic.
ReplyGood for Facebook and Twitter. I You Tube would fix the algorithm and allow more Progressive voices prevail. They are for the majority of the good people of America.
ReplyRepublicans suck really really bad
ReplyI hear that when Trump dies they intend to bury him 100 feet underground.
ReplyApparently deep down he is a very nice person.
Man, the writing on this show is SO on point….
ReplyThis is hilarious!!
ReplyI think this guest has been the best guest to accept the premise of the show and play along! Good job Mr Lewis
ReplyGreat to the point satirical humour once more, this is something right wing mentalities totally fail at due to stilted limited thinking.
ReplyJust look at Fox News presenters it’s something they are incapable of doing or understanding.
Great job Tooning Out The News! 🙂
I’d like to know how much of this show is written and how much improvised.
ReplyTrumps blog of hate. He just can’t quit. He’s a freaking DA.
ReplyInvesting in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
ReplyRepublicans are being evil does that make them evil
ReplyThis is the smartest show out there right now!
ReplyStephen, where are you!? Come back!
ReplySomeone needs to Jimmy Hoffa Zuckerberg
Replyshotgun editting at its finest
Reply“…Though it was short of their goal of as much money as humanly possible…”
Honestly… no, considering what they could have charged and how desperate the world was for this. They Could have easily taken advantage, instead it was $20 per veil and each had enough for 7 shots. Clearly priced to be affordable on a mass scale!
ReplyThe “Hit the ball hard” bit reminded me of a Fantastic 4 fan fic I read once. Reed and Johnny volunteered to coach a high school baseball team. Reed treated it like a university level physics class and quoted Newton’s Laws of motion while writing a complicated equation on the board that just confused the players. Johnny saved it with “What he means, kids, is you should hit the ball very hard.”
ReplyDelete Facebook
ReplyCalifornia Democratic Party CENSORSHIP. Americans are AT WAR with Communist China. From GREAT American Trump to BIDEN THE CHUMP!
ReplyTrumpism is a Cult. Anyone who doesn’t bend the Knees and put a Leash on their Neck forTrump is not welcomed in the Cult.
ReplyThis just gets better and better!
ReplyThank you for calling out Liz Chaney
Replywho really want Don Trump back to sell are vaccine to Israel to pay his Jeffery Epstein blackmail – if watch the Snowden video now they want bug to blackmail with iphone – only because the rich can afford it and they can pay Israel taxes so the American people cant tax the rich
Reply“It’s funny to me that it took the oversight board to do it.” In fact the oversight board simply approved Facebook’s action AND stated that Facebook could not do this indefinitely without clarifying their justification. So you guys that wrong. Further, aren’t you happy that they created an independent board with final say on decisions like this? Or were you happy with the big unaccountable corporation making secret decisions without review or transparency? Be consistent. (Do your homework before making pronouncements)
ReplyFacebook is a private organization; The 1st Amendment doesn’t apply. If Trump wants complete freedom of speech on “social media”, nothing is preventing him from creating his own damn company.
Replyno one is shocked to learn…
Replythat the only Republican left…
who has any balls…
is a gay woman…
This whole show is just the embodiment of the crying wojack wearing a confident smile mask meme.
ReplyI wonder if anybody talks about how the only murder committed that day was by an officer…
ReplyThese clips are just epic. Such a great addition. They really make me laugh out loud.
ReplyWas Trump commenting about Fox propaganda entertainment?
Reply“Do we really have free speech if we can’t freely use private platforms to egg on a feral mob to play jump rope with the vice president’s intestines?”
ReplyI wonder if Napoleon had a “mushroom penis”.
ReplyThe over sight board did good…now keep on rolling and fire Zuckerberg
ReplyI’m assuming Trump’s fine with the Facebook ban. I checked his Twitter feed and he’s not even commented on it.
ReplyDemocrats are trying to make it so that only their voices are heard… and they are hoping that you won’t notice when they take your free speech away.
ReplyThe stock has gone up? LOL.. Maybe not compared to IT companies, but tripling is still pretty good
ReplyThe only news source calling it like it is. I love this show!!!
ReplyLiz Cheney is no hero. She’s just the villian who questions the batshit leader about genocide being a little too far.
ReplyWhere is Stephen?… Stephen come out to playyyy,… Stephen come out to playyyy! ,…. STEPHEN COME OUT AND PLAYYYY!!,…. seriously I hope his ok.
ReplyWhere’s the donkey haha
ReplyThumbs up. Finally — an episode with fairly articulated diction at a reasonable speed so I could understand most of what they were saying.
ReplyLove the snowflake
ReplyYeah, Bill Gates warned about a pandemic three years ago, the result is people are afraid of nanotechnology getting slipped in with the vaccines, when practically has Location turned on on their devices! Go figure!
Reply0:30 Drumpf calling someone _else_ “corrupt?” Is he capable of saying _anything_ without setting off irony alerts?
ReplySocial media companies should pay a political price? Okay, we won’t vote for them next time….
ReplyDoesn’t matter. I just go to Donald Trump’s website to read a statements or go to rumble to see the interviews.
ReplyThere’s not much FB has done right lately but at least they got this correct.
ReplyIt starts with censorship of Trump, ends with unions BLM Antifa leftists indigenous environmentalists…………
ReplyPie eating contest based on skill instead of speed? See what bringing on more women comedy writers has brought us, Hollywood!
Reply“A pie eating contest judged by skill, not speed.” I think Junior is on to something, but speed is always a factor in sports. Imagine a pie eating contest that’s about speed _and_ skill – like tennis, but with pies.
Replyi hate Facebook, but yea for them
Reply“Do we really have free speech if we can’t freely use a private platform to egg on a feral mob to play jump rope with the Vice President’s intestines?”
ReplyI kinda miss the red caps. Its now harder to identify the “white insignifimists” lol
ReplyLIZ Cheney represents democracy….
ReplyHurray! We’ve heard enough lies from this criminal.
ReplyThis is much better than the stale pandemic Colbert show with his wife laughing at all his jokes and those dumb celebrity interviews. He was once cutting edge, though, and I hope he returns to form after an audience can return to him.
ReplyHoly crap, this is hilarious
Replyafter they said “lin” i forgot her name and could only think of the word “lid”
ReplyClearly nobody here cares that the current president is unfit to do his job. Or the fact he is being used by corrupt politicians. Elder abuse more like. Something those doing it will never take accountability for. Move on from the big orange already. Literally not important to talk about.
Replyfirst it was Russia then it came Cuba and then North Korea and then TWITTER AND FACEBOOK…AND THE WORLD JUST SWALLOWS IT
ReplyThey will quietly lift the ban
ReplyKeep living the dream, Junior! Mmm. Pie…
ReplyHilarious… corrupt media platforms that he benefited from. Not until he went to the level of insurrection, when he got booted, now fb and Twitter are bad companies, just because they don’t kiss your fat butt…sure.. keep living in delusions
Reply“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” I admire that quote. It embodies freedom of speech. Somewhat emboldening one to say they feel. A foreseeable future, freedom of speech is censored, blocked, banned, deleted etc. Alas, history has proven, ignorant sheep are easy to lead. C’est la vie…
ReplyTo misquote Spock ‘the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many’ so let Tump back on TWITter, but ban any one who follows him, retweets what he says or mentions what he says on Fox Views.
ReplyPolitics aside I don’t understand how people can get behind this move . United States of double standards
ReplyAwesome.
ReplyT**** is pissed. Facebook unfriended him & twitter stop his new account.
ReplyI must have an outdated copy of the Constitution because I couldn’t find any mention of an American’s right to access a social media platform provided by a private for profit corporation with a clear terms and conditions agreement between it and individual users.
ReplyWho uses Facebook anyways?
ReplySeems like a pointless exercise that will only ignite the souls of people who pick their own snot and eat it.
Facebook.
Get real.
And the fifth angel poured out the vial upon the seat of the Beast and darkness came into his kingdom; the people gnawed their tongues for pain. REV 16:10
Reply:surprised that this prophecy has not come true yet, but it will. One solar flare or an EMP and the whole house of cards comes down. The kingdom of nothingness (internet/ world wide web) that we have built our economy and lives on will crumble. Chaos will rule.
Who is this cartoon host? Is Colbert on another vacation?
ReplyNothing new came out of anyone’s head. Research the 1918 pandemic.
ReplyI deleted my Facebook account. You can too. Just google “how to delete facebook account”, and you will get the instructions. I opened a new window with facebook, and jumped between windows to follow the steps. It was actually very easy to do, and now they have one less account to manipulate. So, I really “did them a favor” by getting rid of the account. I am not the type of person they want anyway!
ReplyIf I could recommend any political commentary, it would be tooning out the news.
ReplySo are yall just done doing an actual show, or what is this?
