It was mostly peaceful!

Also "opening fire" is a bit misleading, sounds like he was indescriminantly shooting instead of defending himself.

These are the delusional people who were really confused and angry when he was acquitted.

The three people he shot were all criminals, one killed was a wife beater and the other killed was a child sex offender.

Doesn't this guy know that this is a dangerous, racist conspiracy theory that's already been thoroughly debunked by the Washington Post and Politifact??

All week I've been seeing lots of propaganda sites and congress members pushing this idea that Colbert is only going off the air because Trump worked some angle behind the scenes to have Paramount can him. If Colbert was killing it like he used to in the early days, there's no way CBS would kill a golden goose.

Just a few:

The losing economics of late night TV is known so it's not surprising; the show could have made cuts; NBC has made some cuts like laying off Seth Meyers' entire house band. I guess they made the decision when under pressure from Trump at the end of Colbert's current contract, which just ended, and could justify it with declining economics.

So, if that's the case, it will be interesting to see if ABC and NBC do the same at the end of Fallon and Kimmel's current contracts which occur over the next 14-30 months.

Jimmy Fallon signed a major contract extension with NBC through 2028.
Jimmy Kimmel signed a contract extension with ABC through May 2027

Another fact that points to Trump political pressure cancelling the show is that even in the midst of declining industry economics that was well under way, in 2023, CBS actually encouraged Colbert to sign a five-year extension through 2031. Colbert turned that down and instead opted for a shorter three-year extension that expired in May 2026.

That's interesting about the extension, that's the first I've heard of it. Maybe Colbert wanted to branch into something else like Conan did, maybe he saw the writing on the wall? I think there's still a market for a late night talk show or two, but not several. CBS probably has the right idea trying to bring something different to the time slot.

I remember sixstar telling me that Donny was a big freedom of speech guy and that he’d be the first to criticize him if he overstepped.

Freedom of speech absolutists remain 0-infinity.

He said he was going to work with his son on some movie scripts.

He has free speech. He has called for assassination of a sitting president and extreme ties to bad actors. Besides being a piece of shit, he has opened himself up to some scrutiny. His reaction to this probe was telling.

Lmao literally none of this is true. I get this is the typical response to a brown guy on here, but this is laughably bad.

lol but it literally is entirely true. I know you see brown guy hate Trump and cling to him like pronouns on a trans migrant, but it really is.

In an era of left wing Luigi fanboys, this is fun-

This guy is a stain on society and disgusting. Free speech and doing who knows what in Cuba are not the same.

Lmao oh my you didn’t watch the video did you? Spoon fed from Yakoby to hate some brown guy. Next thing you’re going to tell me you hired a brown guy in 93.

Yeah the Rick Scott thing is wild but in response to those who want people tried for treason to get capital punishment it’s no different than others.

Lololol he stayed at a licensed hotel and brought aid to the people. You know who visited Cuba and didn’t? Nick Shirley, future MAGA Real Doctor.

Sometimes I think you are forced to say stupid shit by your gay brown boyfriend. I’m not sure how dumb you have to be to defend what you are defending.

Nothing is lower than your repetitive stance of anyone here who disagrees with you being racist, which would be very on brand for an Obama staffer in 2009 but we're long past that era.

Both men and women of varying colors and creeds have wished death upon Trump for years and they're all equally detestable.

You don’t even know what you’re disagreeing with. Lmao calling me gay, you have kids who grew out of that insult.

Woah reverse there buddy, I can’t remember the last time I’ve called someone racist on here. As the political forum timekeeper I’m sure you can find the exact time I did.

Great, Hasan didn’t wish death on him. I’ll chalk this up to you being very busy at you’re 9-5 for not having the time to watch the video or know the context.

"Lmao literally none of this is true. I get this is the typical response to a brown guy on here, but this is laughably bad."

This is implied racism and it isn't the first time.

I can put the ball on the tee but I can’t make the swing for you. When IE MAGA posts something it’s almost always some brown guy doing something bad, me saying it’s a typical response to a brown guy is true. If you think what Drayer posted is racist you can take it up with him.

TLDR - you need to dial the hurt feeling’s thermometer down a tad there fella. Saying typical does not equal racist.

My response is in line with all prior remarks about Marxist violence advocate media figures who may be agents of the communist party of Cuba- brown or not. Thanks.

All you need to get yourself familiar with to understand what is happening here is to review these Trump admin declarations...

How can you read this tweet and think “wow, they’re probably just looking at these two specific Reddit users because they criticized the immigration efforts. No other reason”

Yeah, the only two redditors who speak critically about the president are getting silenced.

NDWarrior · Thursday at 10:48 PM

You don't know and I don't know BUT I will not simply think they're true terrorists just because this admin thinks they could be, especially with wording like this: "at least two anonymous posters behind accounts that have chided immigration enforcement efforts." And with this clown called Pirro.

That sounds so silly to me.

They might be but again, who knows... We'll see

I was told that very earnest conservative voices were being silenced by the coordinated efforts of the government and Big Tech. I am but a simple person, and am applying that same thought process here. Those voices were silenced for being conservative, or so I was told.

- see how fucking dumb it sounds to try and apply the same woe is me piss pants attitude over Trump’s admin working to take down antivaxxers? It’s like a light goes on in the MAGA hive mind when it’s not daddy Trump and logic is allowed to creep in, but if it’s Donny? Well it’s clearly the deep state cabal.

We literally have evidence that earnest conservative voices were being silenced by big tech on behalf of the government. This has been admitted in testimony under oath from multiple tech companies. That is completely different than subpoenaing information for a criminal investigation
