Democracy is when you ban labour unions and left wing opposition parties, censor socialist symbols, erect monuments to nazi-collaborator historical figures, and refuse to hold elections after your term has already expired.

Umm, ackshually, he says he believes that the US government actually believed that the WMDs were there 🤓

Exiting ironic lib mode, that's still a lot of gullibility on Colbert's part.

There's something to how American elections are just another TV show for most Americans, which naturally leads to many of our politicians turning into TV personalities over time. In ten years we're going to have at least one anti woke grifter and at least one breadtuber in office.

It was very important for the #resistance to pump up the casual homophobia, for tactical reasons

Paramount is getting bought by Skydance. Trump is friends with Skydance CEO's father Larry Ellison, who coincidentally was a co-founder of Oracle and worked alongside Epstein during his stint as a CFO at Oracle, 2 years AFTER his palm beach arrest in 2006.

Epstein during his stint as a CFO at Oracle

lmao what, how did I not know this piece of epstein lore

[–] miz@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

CBS/paramount dumped his show and people think it's entirely cause of political reasons to be nicer to trump

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Definitely politics and not the death of that format.
