Among the headlines against voter bills one stands out. “Apple is lobbying against a bill aimed at stopping forced labor in China”
ReplyQanon is awfully quiet seeing as Gaetz is supposed to be the medal of honor hero stopping child sex rings.
ReplyThat was really good. And really sad.
Replyyou still notice groping when you’re high
ReplyWhy go to the ‘middle man” just go directly to our congresses owners, corparations.
ReplyWow! Good one guys!!!
ReplyWho are the voice actors. I’m floored bc I swear I know all of them
ReplyGoodbye, Pervert Gaetz! ***SNICKER!***
ReplyIs it extortion or bribery by Papa Gaetz?
ReplyI feel like these videos are the opposite of AvE
ReplyCartoons go where live action would not dare. Cartoons are important.
Reply“I know you’re innocent until proven guilty, but in this case” anyone who utters this phrase should be jailed for the rest of their lives.
Replybut Qanon said the democrats were the perverts ??? , have I been lied to ??? LMAO
ReplyThere was a misspelling at the end. It is “Corruptatocracy”.
ReplyMatt will be working for the Ku Fox Klan in no time.
ReplyThis… this was really good. Damn.
ReplyI really hadn’t thought about the victims.
“The most loving families are born from Government sex scandals and international hostage rescue situations”
ReplyPlease, add subtitles.
ReplyLoved the fact that they used Meghan Maccain’s accent and manneirisms on this sketch hahahha
ReplyMat is the closest thing to 45 the republicans have
ReplyWhy is this guy still on air.
ReplyI can’t wait to see how Qanon spins the matt gaetz saga. They still pretend that all dems are pedos, but they were ok electing a friend of alleged child trafficker epstein, and gaetz has been doing the exact same thing as what he accuses dems of doing. Pretty well all the conspiracies are projection away from what trump and other republicans are being indicted for doing.
ReplyWhat will all of you say when and if this story turns out to be another hoax by the left? You know, like Adam Schiff getting in front of any camera he could find, claiming that evidence of Trump/Russia collusion was in plain sight? Turned out, every single intelligence officer he interviewed behind closed doors in his committee testified they had zero evidence of collusion. Then the moron tried to keep the transcripts from becoming public. I don’t happen to know if there is anything to these reports about Gaetz and neither do any of you that are convicting him. I wonder if any of you will admit you were wrong if the story falls flat? I’m pretty sure none of you admitted you were wrong after peddling the Russia hoax. The head liberal peddling the Russia hoax, Colbert didn’t.
ReplyCouldn’t finish the segment, her voice is super annoying.
ReplyBest show anywhere ever! This! Stick all your Oscar nominations! This is a billion times better. Love it!
ReplyThere is some edgy shit in this. Way more spice than typical TV news or op ed pablum. Kudos.
ReplyThat signal boost was horrifying to me.
ReplyI can watch these all day
ReplyAt least you can boycott corporations. Seems that our political middlemen are their for life.
Reply2:03 call the cops. there’s been a murder
ReplyDo you mean to say that this whole Q-Anon thing is republican _projection?_
ReplyCould you Imagine if back in the day ‘The Colbert Report’ had never got the timeslot immediately after The Daily Show with Jon Stewart every day on comedy central?
The only reason I ever watched colbert was because I wanted more daily show, and Colbert was basically the budget version that followed immediately after, though never once did an episode of stephen’s even compare to stewart’s.
Now I regret every second I’ve ever watched colbert the coat rider speak.
ReplyI love “Moving on” LOL
ReplyI take offense to this notion that the group of people being oppressed every day is becoming more and more inclusive. Historically this group has specifically excluded white males such as myself and no one seems to care that we are never oppressed. I demand equality on this issue now!
Reply“… Draconian Malfoyian…”
Reply‘ Silican Valley is here to make them” Oh yea>
ReplyIs this done by the guyz who do Archer?
ReplyCartoon Network all over again
ReplyI know it’s by design, but boy are these news anchors annoying or what?
ReplyNext year we will be looking for insurrection re-enactment actors To perform the surge for visiting Highschool students to the nation’s capital. (NEVER FORGET).—-Are we still surprised at how awful the Trump people really are in private life? Stephen Miller,
ReplyRoger Stone, Jeff Epstein, pervert Jim Jordan, Steve Banon, Kellyann Conway, Maggie Greene these men and women look like creeps and they are in fact creepy. A reverse Dorian grey cautionary Tale of Whoa.
As usual, if Republicans are accusing the Democrats of something, it’s because the Republicans are doing it.
ReplyYup we are a Corporacy!
ReplyI don’t understand the story about Gaetz.
ReplyIf this senator who slap with the seventeen-year-old this man should not be in office at all he should be in jail and then go to prison and then he find out what it like in prison huh
ReplyMaybe this man was tied with Epstein
Reply“After years of throwing people in jail for possession of Marijuana, Governor Cuomo was finally convinced to legalize it by his constituents incessant calls for him to stop sexually harrassing women”. I laughed so hard at this one.
ReplyHer voice tones are annoying
ReplyDone
ReplyLionsGate
Replythe drake meme im dead
ReplyI am glad I got vaccinated…’People who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can travel freely in the U.S., as long as they remain masked on planes, buses and trains, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday.’
ReplyThese cartoons are hilarious.
ReplyClever delivery. Putting it out there in a way that gen z will pay attention to. Clever as usual.
ReplyRepublican’s don’t care about this kind of stuff, do they? I thought Gaetz was the kind of lawmaker they wanted.
ReplyI get real Sheryl vibes from Kylie lmao
ReplyStrong point about corporations pulling government into line 🙂
ReplyThis is most well written segment on TV right now.
ReplyThis just in: Matt Gaetz was Q all along, projecting like the sicko he is.
ReplyThis comedy has no soul – anonymous writers, claiming “Not Responsible for this shit”.
Replyweird…..the Salvador Dali of newcasts
ReplyYeah… They were Pegging the Dirt turd
ReplyWtf is this xD
ReplySeems that Matt Putz was expecting his false orange god to be in power for another term, handing out more pardons. Whoops. Ha!
ReplyLove that vocal fry lol
ReplyWhy is so much of the Asian representation in media either women or gay?
ReplyCaught that Harry Potter reference lol

Reply#KiddieGaetz
ReplyThis is where I get all my news
ReplyNo doubt trump was at the orgy.
ReplyMatt Gaetz is a god sent to Andrew Cuomo.
ReplySuch a great take by Kara: “Silicon Valley is not here to solve your problems, it’s here to create them, really.”
ReplyThe webcam joke was a little rough.
ReplyGood stuff
ReplyMatt knows how to rock that Jack Lord hair-do, doesn’t he?
ReplyDtrump maybe will hire him?!
ReplySomeone must save the private prison investors! These guys be pimpin
ReplyNever mind the Virtue Signal how about some captions for the oppressed deaf and hard of hearing viewers….any sort of signaling would do, what about a sign language cartoon character…nah too hard, makes captions look too easy.
ReplyEnable the captions!!!
archer?
ReplyOk, I know Corporate America is protesting Georgia’s voting laws because it’s good for their bottom line but all I have to say is: So What?
ReplyJust because a good action came from questionable motives doesn’t make the action any worse. In all honesty, this is America and the most American thing is now happening; it’s no longer profitable to be racist. Essentially less government means a less racist government, America can eat its cake too.
The fact that the “guest” suggested that people who get high don’t know when they are being physically violated is obscene. Truly disgusting.
ReplyI hoping for more airtime for Kara. She is also a very funny social critic.
ReplyC
ReplyThey definitely ame correct with receipts.
Gaetz should be removed from his committee work especially DOJ related one
ReplyFun fact: Matt Gaetz’ father’s name is Donald J. Gaetz. I’m not kidding.
And, of course, he was involved in the biggest Medicare fraud scheme in American history. Because of course he was! And, of course, he got off with a “confidential settlement” AKA buying a “get out of jail” card. Because of course he did.
ReplyPersonally I do not feel bad for Carlson, not one iota! He can accompany Gaetz in prison, for all I care.
ReplyPlease do a cartoon on Hunter.
Reply“Draconian Malfoynian”
Replyyeah, I’m stealing that
They have proof on Cuomo and won’t tske this stance! The media is running with accusations. It’s another Trump smear campaign in retaliation for the Cuomo scandal
ReplyPower
ReplyFunniest thing is that the window in the background looks exactly like the studio is at Jane’s Carousel.
ReplyOhhh, Late show… ColBERT has been fawning over big-Cuomo for the last year or so,
ReplyPROJECTIONISTS
ReplyHair test Gaetz for illegal substances! The people demand accountability now!!!
ReplyThis show is America’s greatest gift to the world so far
ReplyThis might be the best Tooning Out the News episode yet
ReplyOuch. That lapdog Jeremy comment.
ReplyI love you
Yeah that was funny. I don’t understand this BS. And people call this crap funny and or entertaining. Weirdos
ReplyOh Stephen, you are just over the top. Great job, as always.
ReplyGaetz looks like a sleazy version of Johnny Knoxville
ReplyWow Joe passed border to Kamal and Kamal said pass. We are better no one running county now
ReplyWould have liked more of Kara Swisher in this bit, who played along so nicely.
ReplyKara Swisher is cool
Replyhe’s going to make a great Prison Bride!!

ReplyWhy hasn’t Bryan Singer been arrested yet?
Replypizza gaetz?
ReplyPlease stop insulting car salesmen.
Replyhis nestor “adopted son” case sounds very suspicious to me! hum!
ReplyI do not like these Toons.
ReplyThis looks like Archer and it’s tripping me out
ReplyYou can only extort someone who is guilty. All he had to say was “if you have proof, put it out there.”
ReplyThe plant cross jointly slap because hand respectively tempt aboard a sophisticated gun. rural, upset cobweb
ReplyThe word of God states that: for whatsoever a man sow that shall he also reap.
ReplySuch a draconian malfoynian law. Durn tootin
ReplyMatt Gaetz hates: wearing a condom more than wearing a mask! His fetish for spreading communicable diseases explains why he’s been reduced to “dating” women remotely online at porn sites.
ReplyRepublicans and Projection
Name a more iconic duo
ReplyQ is the 17th letter of the alphabet. Gaetz”s girlfriend was 17. Gaetz is close to Trump as they insist Q must be. Gaetz is Q. Q accusing Dems of Pizzagate while its really Gaetzgate.
ReplyDid they people who write for Archer part of this show?
ReplyCut out the middleman politicians and talk to corporations directly. Because they actually get shit down. OMG there is a lot of truth to that lmao!
ReplyThis segment was just brilliant!!!
Reply“If you’re high, you might not notice the incessant groping.” – EXCELLENT BURN ON COUMO!
ReplyMaybe if Trump had legalized marijuana then we would have been too high to notice all the shit he pulled as President and he would have cruised to re-election…
Corporations protect us? Please tell me that was SARCASM!
ReplyHit the nail on the head. This comment was brought to you by National Nails, celebrating over 50 years as a distributor of high-quality, innovative product and service. oh yeah.
ReplyShould we not get angry when we watch a human get murdered?
ReplyJust more Russian disinformation. Like Hunter’s laptop.
ReplyAnd where’s that Trump pee tape, btw?
Libs love to think about all sorts of nasty sexual fantasies.
Where is Qanon when you need them?
ReplyCooperations run America. Capitalism wins y’all!
ReplyPoor Nestor. It’s hard for a 42yo adoptee to lose a father twice. Look at Don Jr.
Reply“There are so many twists and turns in this story I cannot express to you how little I have thought about the victims here.”
ReplyWell put.
Apparently, “getting mad” is now a character flaw.
ReplyMalfonian.
ReplyIt is sad that people can’t live life without being in an altered state of mind aka “high”. This is life, deal with it like an adult!
ReplyWtf is this?
ReplyI hate my name.
Reply“If you’re high you might not notice the incessant groping”. BWAHAHAHAHA, I’m done
ReplyDid they really just criticize the fact that Derek Chauvin has an attorney who is pleading his case, as if they don’t just want Chauvin in prison, but for the entire judicial system to collapse?
ReplyAs a racist anti-democratic anti-voting Republican and pro-fascist person let me ask you, what is wrong with the voting law in Georgia?
ReplyAnd the crowd starts saying mad mad at the stadium crowd Maddy Maddy Maddy Maddy Maddy you know this guy here’s a guy this guy he’s a daddy’s boy his daddy helped him get the job you know Daddy Maddie he’s also the equivalent of a poster child for the 45th president Maddie Maddie they should do commercial like that you know all the poster children like the equivalent of the poster children hey hey Colbert show Late Show why don’t you guys put the got together all the other post your children Maddie Maddie they’re all a bunch of theirs poster children at all would like all these Republicans Or democrats as well but these post your kids and women are the equivalent of the poster children Maddie baddie
ReplyThe Gaetz scandal seems like just some invented thing that some news channels are perfectly willing to get in on – for what purpose? Erosion of the mentality of the watchers, of course. But if I don’t watch it, that doesn’t stop someone else from doing so – does that feed into my psyche? It used to. Frankly, you just have to be responsible or yourself. And if you care about how others are getting sucked in, do something worthwhile about it, even if it means just posting something for others to read. Just don’t get drawn in by the ‘drama’ they say they’ve successfully created. They aren’t that important, even if they’re good at occupying the space you want somehow.
Replythe last comments were out of the italian history during the ’30’s. mussolini disbanded the national assembly and formed the council of corporations. america’s time is running out.
ReplyThe jagged pressure acutely fill because interest neuropathologically plan times a slow limit. thundering, available airplane
ReplyI like that this is a satire but this is basically how Fox News is presented. Their hosts are idiots who say ignorant or intolerant things constantly. These fun animated hosts say stupid stuff but it all still keeps them more human and compassionate than Fox hosts. Wow.
