Stephen Colbert is saying goodbye

The Nixon administration’s enemies list inspired bipartisan revulsion. Its purpose was, in the immortal words of President Richard Nixon’s White House counsel, to ā€œuse the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies.ā€

The revelation of the list’s existence during the Watergate hearings of 1973 provoked conservative columnist and Nixon supporter William F. Buckley Jr. to use the f-word in print. Yes, Buckley called the enemies list ā€œan act of proto-fascism. It is altogether ruthless in its dismissal of human rights. It is fascist in its reliance on the state as the instrument of harassment.ā€
As I recall his administration was loyal to the Constitution not to him. Things were different back then.

He was catching it, especially discussions of impeachment, before he was sworn into his first term.
I don't recall impeachment talk but he didn't wait to get elected before the lies began.

Stop diluting what you clowns have created.

When you get a president into office, we are going to make his life miserable.
You mean they won't be treated with the same respect that the Muslim, foreign-born, gay Obama got? Imagine that!
 
Did you tell Fox News? You could have saved them almost a billion. Guiliani would also have benefited.
I don't even get Fox nor cable TV. That video was online and presented here, so I assume Fox should be at least as good at researching this stuff. Frankly, I never was very clear on exactly what the whole case against Fox was, what they alleged, what they failed to prove, etc., but 700 million seemed like a ridiculous number just for questioning the accuracy of a counting machine.

That 'if' requires evidence that I'm sure Fox would have found IF it existed.
I would never make that assumption, because doing so would definitely lead you down 10,000 other garden paths. Look at it this way, Trump was charged with a crime 34 times that the prosecution never even laid out in court what it was, so how could Trump defend against it? Yet it happened, and the judge permitted it.

Do the words "hanging chad" ring a bell?
A hanging chad is still physical evidence. It can be analyzed. It cannot reattach itself. Frankly, designed properly, chads should be torn free on all four sides every time. But electronic, that is just all 1s and 0s. It takes nothing to change 00000100110000101 to 00000100101000101, and once done, very difficult or impossible to detect the change or what was changed, how or when, and believe me, I have an undergraduate in electronics and I know digital very well.
 
Never seen an episode of his show and other leftist assholes on late night.

Well, I checked out a minute or two of him a couple of times. I was clicking through the channels and he happened to be on so I watched it for a minute.

It was almost funny, I think the first time I randomly tuned him in first time in years, he was already right in the middle of an anti-Trump rant. I think most every time I caught him, he was never far from trying to attack Trump and insult his voters.

Most of it was so stupid, vulgar, untrue, and insulting that I realized he only got away with the crap because absolutely no one on the network, production or audience even questioned a word he said or did.

That's the most important thing for the Left--- they cannot defend anything they say or do with facts, so they always insist on a 100% friendly audience, that is why you never see one go on Fox, Mark Levin, or any other hard conservative news show.

That has been common since 1787. IT was Andrew Mellon who first got the idea to screw his enemies by using the IRS to harass people, later FDR did the same thing, most notoriously against Moses Annenburg, for his newspaper articles opposing the New Deal.

Trump is the deep state and you are supporting his attempt to create state-run media.

Colbert is being canceled because he made remarks about the parent company, that I am aware of.
 
The guy was just not funny... never has been... he just said things that TDSers loved to hear... but he was not funny...
 
CBS announced last summer that Colbert’s show would end, citing economic reasons after 11 seasons. But Colbert is the ratings leader in late-night TV. Many — including Colbert — have expressed skepticism that President Donald Trump’s repeated criticism of the show wasn’t a factor.

The decision to shutter the show came after parent company Paramount’s $16 million settlement of Trump’s lawsuit over a ā€œ60 Minutesā€ interview as Paramount awaited his administration’s approval of a pending sale to Skydance Media. Colbert had called it a ā€œbig fat bribe.ā€

Poor Cobert.

He's a victim of people playing games in boardrooms over his head.

Welcome to the world.

When you were needed and produced.......you were kept.

When it becomes convenient to get rid of you.....sayonara (which means forever).
100 writers and their stuff wasn't as funny as gutfelds three writers.
 
The guy was just not funny... never has been... he just said things that TDSers loved to hear... but he was not funny...
No, at one time he was hilarious. He truly was. Check out the roast of Chevy chase and you will see just how good he was.
