Colbert Nails What Everyone Seems To Have Missed In The Testimony Against Trump
Ed Mazza, HuffPost 6 hours ago
Several experts called Tuesday’s explosive new evidence against President Donald Trump “damning” as the House considers impeachment.
But “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert isn’t so sure.
William Taylor, the former top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, reportedly told lawmakers that Trump held up military aid to force the country to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and a right-wing conspiracy theory about the 2016 election.
Former U.S. Attorney David Kelley said on MSNBC that the evidence against Trump is now so “damning” that if this were a criminal case, it probably wouldn’t even go to trial.
“When confronted with all the evidence, a reasonable defendant would likely take a plea.” he said.
Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) called the testimony a “ sea change ,” according to The Hill.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) called it “ damning ” on CNN.
But Colbert offered a different take.
“Do you understand what this means?” he asked. “We finally have solid evidence of the crime that Trump and his chief of staff have already confessed to committing on camera.”

Comedians are Funny !
Its colder in the Winter!
I've heard it's actually "Warmer".
Thanks to anthropogenic global warming, winter is actually warmer than it used to be. Used to ice skate around here as a kid but ponds haven't frozen solid enough for that in years.
Well..... some are anyways🙄
So Colbert really isn't "News" ?

Just what is "traditional America" exactly?
Where EVERYONE but white men know their place, have no rights and need to just shut up about it....
From In depth "Investigations" ?
I like your definition but I want to hear jungknoservative's definition
Do you think he has one?
Don't know, I bet it's very close to what I posted.
It will probably get deleted anyways. Why waste the effort. Stating facts tends to trigger some people I guess.
What facts make up traditional America?
I didn't flag your comment. I want to hear your facts. Please
It depends on what aspect you want to cover.
Religion : Traditional America has always been a Judaeo christian God fearing country
Marriage : Man and a woman with structured families who raise their children
Immigration: From many one, traditional Americans have always been expected to assimilate to American culture. That means they learn English, salute the flag, pledge allegiance, all of it.
Genders : 2
Which part of traditional America should I define?
Let's start with this one. I'm neither Jewish or Christian. Does that mean I'm not an American?
I raised my children alongside my husband while holding down a job and wearing pants. Does that make me unAmerican?
Did the Native Americans who were here before the Europeans speak English? Did you know there are still pockets of French speakers in Louisiana? Many Amish don't really speak English, either.
What about people that are actually born hermaphroditic? Are they man or woman? Or are they a third gender?
Colbert Nails What Everyone Seems To Have Missed
He always does!
Only to the looney tune left; who seem to take their truths from politically biased Democrats in the House; and leftist comedians.
Ah yes, 'the looney left' the ultimate explainer. Ah hell, got a plate of windmill dead birds for dinner. Want to help pluck the feathers?
Not if you wash them in fracking brine. Esp. if the brine is from a MAGA enterprise.
And the Putin loving Trump supporters take their truths from talking points developed at the Kremlin...…
See I can do it too.
C'mon people. The Trump said Putin said he, The Trump, was a smart guy. Let it go. Trump has Ivanka and we don't.
