The President spent his weekend demanding to meet the Ukraine whistleblower, going after Rep. Adam Schiff, and retweeting dubious statements from supporters. #Monologue #LSSC #Colbert

“You only have the right to meet your accuser IN A COURT OF LAW” Finally someone on TV enunciates it. Thank You Steven Colbert.
@World’s Netizen
No the affair was fine. You can’t impeach someone for cheating on their spouse. He lied in a court of law and that is perjury. It was still shaky ground to begin impeachment proceedings and Republicans lost that one. I think what Trump did goes way beyond anything Clinton ever did. So the bar’s already been lowered, and the reason for that lies entirely at the hands of the Republican party in the 90s.
Just a side note. I recently noticed that two prominent Republicans tied to either scandal have similar names. Bob Barr in 1998 and Bill Barr today. I checked, they aren’t related, but that would have been a hell of a laugh if they were.
@Ray Ceeya He lied for what? And that was a real set-up designed for Clinton’s weakness and a partisan impeachment which aims to punish and hurt Clintons, rather than protect the public interests. The party of law and order literaly commited what they accused of Dems. Watch what Reps do to Trump this time, X-ray time.
@World’s Netizen I totally agree with you. I was a senior in high school in 1998 and that was the first year I voted. The Clinton impeachment was very formative for me. Clinton did perjure himself, but it was over something that wasn’t illegal and TBH it wasn’t anyone’s business to ask those questions in the first place. Two consenting adults can do whatever they want with their naughty bits. It’s a free country after all.
I’m going to continue comparing and contrasting and contrasting the Trump impeachment though. IMO Trump committed Treason with a capital “T”. Probably more than once. The Muller report only just barely absolved him of the highest crime in the nation (Treason) but now we caught him red handed, trying to do the thing he was accused of doing in 2016. Only this time he practically admitted to it.
I wish there were more Mafia bosses like Trump. It would make the cops job a lot easier.
@Ray Ceeya Really? The facts need to be examined? Here is a question from an inquiring mind…why is the Chairman stating in September BEFORE the inquiry started that the evidence WOULD show that Trump violated his oath of office and committed a crime? That is not what an examiner says, that is what a prosecutor states in his opening statement. You see, Schiff has reached a conclusion beforehand and is working his way backwards and that taints this process—whether or not Trump is guilty of anything impeachable. That is coming from an Independent with no dog in this fight…but you guys sure did pick the most biased person in Congress and it will not resonate with the American public who has not made up their mind. Also, the other Presidents, including Clinton and Nixon, had a process set up in the House where they could call witnesses and cross examine and have attorneys present. They did not need permission from Newt Gingrich, for instance. So, Schiff is a tyrant compared to Newt Gingrich, or is hiding something…or maybe this:

@Revizionary Enterprises “you guys sure did pick the most biased person in Congress” I didn’t pick him, I’m also not a Democrat.
“will not resonate with the American public who has not made up their mind.”
Who cares how it resonates? This is about prosecuting a criminal for committing a crime.
“Clinton and Nixon, had a process set up in the House where they could call witnesses and cross examine and have attorneys present.” We’re two days into public testimony, They’ll get their chance. The real circus is going to start when Trump’s lawyers do start calling witnesses. I can guarantee you they”ll just use it as a way to gum up the system and delay the house vote as long as possible.
“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role. Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.” – Lindsey Graham, 1999
@William George If you’re so sure , let’s you and me place a gentleman’s bet on impeachment and who will be President in 2020. If I’m wrong , I will admit my doltish nature and ill-informed ignorance to you in front of the world. Have you the balls and faith in your convictions to man up? Bet you don’t……
@Certified Hack you funny, man. You should be a comedian, I love your act.
@Sam Mindel thank you so much
M Hartung if he is reelected, he will be a 2-year lame duck. Then Pence will be a 2-year lame duck.
Funny how they change the meanings when it’s them in power vs when they arent (granted the right was in power, just not the Whitehouse when it was said)
“I’m totally innocent, that’s why we should kill any witnesses and fire the people who could scrutinize me.” Yeah, sure, that’s legit.
@jpah no one with a brain is talking about the Clinton’s still, sorry we know you love em…..
Exactly what I was thinking!
Are you talking about Hillary
jpah : Have you seen Trump’s tweets? He uses the ellipsis improperly almost daily.
Saying “I got a new puppy” without showing pictures should be illegal.
so good…lol
Amen 🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🤣
It’s illegal for Trump, just not Democrats.
By the way, I heard Ivanka has a job working for a Russian company making about $50k a month.
Dude you wouldn’t last one day in that big oval office
@Xavier Kadrmas – I’ve just seen it. So adorable. Cocker spaniel I think.
We love you Steven
It’s PERFECT
In our dark days
Keep up the great show 🇺🇸
“1-900-Quid-Pro-Quickie” is where I lost it. I managed to keep it together for the spooky bird mask.
I’d be honored if some Colbert fans who appreciate 90s classics would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, WALKING IN MEMPHIS by Marc Cohn, and Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
Same!
William Mackay you have to laugh, the alternative is just too weird. I love the spooky bird mask. I am just waiting for this hell to be over with. So tired of waiting.
I thought maybe 1-900-Quid-Pro-Quickie was the number for Stormy Daniels.
Do y’all remember when Howard Dean’s political career ended because he shouted enthusiastically?
Yyyyyyy-Eaaaaaaaaaah!
Cognitive Dissonance
Oh – Those wonderful times.
Now he would be voted into office.
Owen McCauley Pepperidge Farm remembers
That is my go-to example for political career killers of yesteryear.
Remember when Republicans were saying that having a dignified black man was making our so called great country a laughingstock? Wow! How times have changed for the worse.
“Volha Teagle” and “Kitty Sez” = same person. Ran all of “their” (likely just his) comments through a textual similarity analysis algorithm and got a 94.6% match. The likelihood of two random people having nearly identical (idiosyncratic) writing patterns meeting in the same place, arguing with the same person, is incredibly low.
Judging from the typos like “weekly flair,” these comments were likely written in quick succession, hastily, probably between writing comments on other videos. These people are at it 16 hours a day. Gotta wonder how they pay rent, right?
@Newfellow I knew you were nuts. Your channel doesn’t have any content,does it ,boris? I promise if you just take your anti-psychotic every little thing gonna be alright,don’t you worry.
@Newfellow” textual similarity analysis algorithm” 😝
@doug keyes You bumped that brainless head of yours Obama is the most popular Democratic president other than FDR and John Kennedy.
@outdoor fun Yeah and there keeling over laughing at that bozo the clown trump.
There’s an intern somewhere that went home and told their family that they got to make an appearance on the Colbert Show as a bird doctor.
@Soymaid I think he thought it was funny, but was also confused because it looks like a plague edition of the KKK costume.
@Pooyan Manoochehry I was also really confused and didn’t even realize it was a Plague Doctor from Darkest Dungeon for a bit.
@M.J. Cicero
Buddy…. You do realize that plague doctors were like… An actual thing, right? Like during the black plague hundreds of years ago that’s what the doctors treating plague victims looked like. The beak was filled with potpourri and whatnot bc they believed that diseases spread via bad air/bad smells. And the fearsome appearance was to try and scare the demons or spirits or whatever they thought were afflicting the the sick and causing their ailment.
Old timey medicine was whack basically. Beyond this their go to medical treatment for… Well everything was blood letting. So. Yea….
The black death. 1347 to 1351. In four years it killed between 75 to 200 million. 30 to 60% of the European population, and that’s not including the fatalities in Asia. Best case scenario, 75 million, that was over 50 thousand people a day.
@Kye Talks Actually, I had no idea – I thought they were too bizarre to be real and were purely fictional. Thanks for the education.
I always thought U.S presidency was the busiest job in the world.
Trump makes it look like a side hustle
I can’t read Trump’s Tweets anymore without hearing Stephen’s impression in my head…
@my pronoun is Master – so why are you here then?
@Judi O’Regan for the comments
I wish I had that problem. It sounds so much better with Stephen.
…….. me too
I hear Trevor Noah)
It’s scaring how the crowd takes this intimidation lightly. This is some scary stuff. Dictatorship stuff
I’m scared for the whisleblower’s safety and no one in his administration realizes they just threatened to basically kill/jail someone for upholding justice
If you love your president more than your country, then you’ve missed the whole point of being American.
Damn right
Gonna be honest, I dont particularly like this country because we have done some majirly fucked up things. The main problem i have though is people turning a political figure into an almost religious one.
@needabettername well now i need to get involved because communism. I would like to say that i dont think communism or socialism is bad, in the idea of it. The actual execution of them is a different story however. We just need to get these right.
@SCP 079 socialism isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but can be corrupted just like anything else….communism makes it easier to corrupt and is the inherent issue
@needabettername yes, that was the point is was trying to get across. Rather poorly as I look back on my previois comment. I ment that they would be great governmental systems if people were not so inherently corrupt and greedy.
Stephen Colbert should now be legally required to start every show with a new picture of his puppy.
Ask Gemini and Friends Hooray Ikr
It is very satisfying to see him run for the door, Keep moving donnie!!
“You only have the right to meet your accuser in a court of law……and I certainly hope you get that oppurtunity.” 💥BOOM!! 💥 Me too Stephen. #METOO. 😎
…that is a very incorrect use of that hashtag
@Sophia B. So a knock reference to back up me saying ‘me too Stephen’ on the women who say he sexually harassed/assaulted them and have for years wanted their right to have their day in a court of law to meet the accused very incorrect as well? 🤔
@The End Of An Error oh whoops… didn’t get that lol don’t reply to comments sleep deprived like me. ps: love the username 🙂
“Does he have a DUI”
God they are just shooting in the dark, aren’t they?
M Hartung and so you post debunked falsehoods and accuse the other side of that which YOU are guilty.
President 💩 has committed obstruction, fraud, emoluments, kidnapping, and gross incompetence. The evidence is publicly available.
@Paul K UMM yes it’s ok, as he was sent there by the President and in concert with the UN and several countries to do just what he did. It was not done to benefit the President at the cost of US citizens. Does that clear it up for you? It’s really not that hard, if you open your ears and listen, and quit repeating the Orangeman’s excuses. You can tell when a MAGA enters the conversation, it always includes an insult to anyone that disagrees with or is not indoctrinated to his Big Mac Daddy.
@Loud Harley- Try to keep up..
https://www.cfr.org/event/foreign-affairs-issue-launch-former-vice-president-joe-biden
Btw, Indian has destroyed Harley..stay mad.
@dlee t-Do you have any documentation for your claims, & how was Gore going to pay down The National Debt?
Carbon Taxes..?
The fake threat of Global Warming..I’m sorry, “Climate Change”
That all can be solved if you just..open your check books.
I’m not dismissing the tragedy of 9/11, Katrina, etc..but is it not fact that life begins at conception.
Ok, that sudden dance number featuring a plague outfit made my day.
I believe right now Trump is looking for a man with a whistle in every corner of the white house.
🤣🤣🤣
How many laps did 💩 take around the Oval Office trying to find a corner?
Yes….and OJ is looking for the killer
@Frze how so?
@Kenneth Paulmenn He said the same thing in one of his videos.
I miss the days when we had presidents that were eloquent & inspiring.
@Kathryn What in particular makes you fear for your life that President Trump has done? Are you actually that imbecilic?
@M Hartung LOL…. no sense in debating you. have a nice day.
@Nicholas Cisternino Coward….
@Nicholas Cisternino I prefer you didn’t sleep at night. I was up the whole time wayyyyyy out of his league obama was in. no foreign leader liked him, they thought he was a panzi.
@ya yaya Really, really hard to get to where you are here. Maybe if there was the person’s named labeled next to it, I could’ve gotten a better idea. Restate in more of an MBA fashion…make it direct to the point, putting the other person’s point direct to the point, and make it as short as possible. That’s how the true MBA thinks because there’s lots to do. The fake ones a true MBA knows instinctively.
