    Still nothing about Palestine? Okay. I guess America isn’t one to call out illegal colonialist settler occupations cause they were built on the same foundation.

    Does this mean Stephen is the President of the USA, or does he need to go head to head with Biden?

    More like this, please! I tune in to Stephen Colbert to escape the stress, not emerge in it. Too much airtime given to people who never deserved our attention.

    No wonder why Michelle and Jill got along so well. Both charming, classy ladies.
    BTW, if he’s a stock boy give him the heaviest boxes. He might sprain his throwing arm. Revenge!

    Imagine having enough access to money to gamble $1k a shot in trash basketball, then imagine that neither of you is keeping the money, but instead giving it away. If you work a minimum wage job, each shot would cost you about 138 hours of work, or roughly 3 and a half 40 hour work-weeks.

    One of the classic blunders. Never get involved in a land war in Asia, never get in a paper ball basketball game with a former writer (or late-night talk show host).

    I really admire Michelle Obama. She appears to be smart, highly likeable, and well ‘balanced’.
    I say appears because, I do not know her personally in any way.
    I just admire her presence and her ability to take things initially ‘about her’ and make them about a cause that she supports.
    I have nothing but respect for her. Seriously, she is a great woman.

    The people who hate her are pathetic. She and her hubby are decent people, even if you disagree with their politics. She’s out raising money for charity. The trump foundation was shut down for stealing from charities…

    Really cool Stephen brought this back – and I yes, Stephen did, UNINTENTIONALLY, Cheat Barack- he gave Barack yellow notepad paper, while Stephen had the heavier, joke writer notecards- Stephen obviously realized or read comments, because both he and Michelle had notecards here- Stephen is still Impressive though, and he got himself slipped into an Obama Netflix show (CBS/Paramount better not be stingy and Let him do it!)
