A great summation of your president America. You voted him in. You live with it

TV needs to say MORE mean things about the big baby. Make that baby cry!

Does anyone know how to contact Antifa HR? I'm missing a paycheck.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

When the dust settles, every executive action this disgusting man has taken—including those who worked in tandem—should be null and void. Wipe the entire slate back to 2016.
