Is late night in financial trouble? Sure. Should you take Paramount’s word that that’s the reason Colbert is going? Give me a break. [giftie] www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/a...

I actually resent when a reporter puts a microphone in front of 47s face.

It’s simply giving him a platform to lie.

I don’t care what he has to say. Some of us know who he is at this point. We knew it long ago.

His words mean nothing. He is the bottom.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this.

The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying.

America really is dystopian as fuck.

I don't know what it's gonna take for Democrats to start taking this fight seriously. This is video of regime agents literally arresting Democratic staffers in a congressional office.
NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.”

Nothing to worry about here, just a political purge of our national security apparatus that will replace long-serving experts with dimwitted bootlickers.

I'm sure our safety and security won't be impacted at all.

Yes. It’s because they invaded a peaceful neighbor and began killing, raping and destroying. How is this hard?
