Colbert on Dropout, when?

2 months ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

The Late Show was for a long time a staple in my life. In one of my previous jobs i had to get up around 6 am to get ready for the office, By the time my morning bathroom routine was done they uploaded the monologue of him to Youtube, which had the perfect length of time to get dressed and i almost always had it running for years while starting my day.

I will miss him, i got sad when i watched the final episode and when the dust settles and he's ready i hope he returns somewhere to continue.

We don't "lose" him he's removed from that network. Now don't watch CBS and drop Paramount. Let the People speak.

Colbert used to be awesome on the Colbert Report back when it was on Comedy Central. Then he changed networks, started wearing lipstick and went full corpo mainstream. I'm glad I got to know Colbert in his golden era, even if I had to watch what he became.

Fuck all the people that decided to sit out the election and couldn't be bothered to prevent Trump.
And fuck everyone voting for Trump even more.

I don't think he's just going to go away.

One can only hope he finds a network brave enough to give Trump the middle finger when he has a tantrum again.

Or he could decide to do what many actors and other people with too much time on their hands do and start their own podcast/videochannel on Youtube.

He has the name recognition and the Internet can't shackle him like a network can.

What I'd love is him and Jon Stewart to run as presidential candidates

Absolutely spot on. Fuck Trump and every single Republican. Fuck everyone who supports Trump and that party.

The final episode was absolutely fantastic. It took the high road.

If you think Republicans and trumpers make up half you're off your rocker. Trump approval is around 1/3 and even then he is only around 85% with Republicans. FAR from half and yet every one of them deserves to get exactly what they've voted for.

The next administration had better make some massive, sweeping changes that include reinstating pre-Reagan antitrust regulations and smashing Paramount Skydance and all the other giant corporate molochs into a hundred little companies. Wrest the media from billionaire claws and get some healthy competition between small independent networks going again. And give them some tax funding in exchange for factual and reality-based news reporting.

Both Robert Reich and Stephen Colbert are class acts. They are intelligent, truthful and love our country. I appreciate when someone accurately points out that the emperor is not wearing any clothes.

I saw Mr. Reich speak at the UC Berkeley graduation last weekend. Excellent speech

I follow his substack, it's excellent. He writes every day and I get an email with his article, a very nice moment of sanity to my day.
