I used to love Colbert back on The Daily Show.. WH Correspondent's Dinner hosting was legendary.. then he got tapped for the network show and it looked to me like his progressive mask came right off. Turned out he was just a liberal all along and I didn't realize at that time what that meant.

Don't you see? His speech there lives on!

But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works. The President makes decisions. He's the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration? You know, fiction!

He's just relaying its content by way of demonstration now.

John Oliver is the closest we have to that

John Oliver basically moved to the US so he could still pretend to be centre-left. If a prominent soc-dem shift in the Democratic party happens he'll probably move to Israel to keep it going.

That's kind of what Sam Seder is

[–] Des@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sam needs to ease up on the cee-baa-enn it's making him sleepy

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sam also needs to go back to Bobs Burgers

i literally found out about that when i was wondering why the VA for Bob was doing their intro

then happy to find out most of the older, weirder part of Adult Swim animated shows were made by lefties (home movies, venture bros, tim & eric, metaloclypse, eric andre?)

Lee Camp. I’m pretty sure he’s a proper socialist though. His show is called Unredacted Tonight.

Whether I'm the dark or in the light, shit always smells.

I’ve seen it theorised that mamda would’ve asked to be asked, so he has a chance to speak directly to the boomers who actually watch shows like this. I wouldn’t believe it except it was honestly such a ridiculous non-sequiter that it seems over the top even for the hysterical lib media

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

That would kinda make sense in a way because the way it came out was so odd
