Thank you Stephen Colbert, and everyone involved in this video. I am so immature. Even at 40 years old my favorite part of this video is when he says "Build a Snowman out of turds". LMBO. I've watch this video more than 20 times now. I think it's hilarious. Thank you for making all of this funny Stephen. Love you allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
This is a prime example why satire is such a powerful weapon against flim-flammery and tyranny, and why dictators from Hitler to el-Sisi have generally come down hard on people who make fun of them. Keep it coming, Mr. Colbert, we need it right now.
Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Present dictator of Egypt. Although it may have been the man he ousted from power, Morsi, who did more to drive Bassem Youssef off the air. Neither of those guys have much of a sense of humor.
Flame Beats Yes, and even as he looked prepared for the worst, he still was so surprised that he couldn't believe his own ears when she told him that Trump has invited Putin to the White House. Even after he reluctantly had to admit Putin was responsible for the election meddling, he then rewards Putin with a visit and dinner at the WH.
A lot of us have been saying "Putin for President" for the past 8+ years. I still am sure that Obama would have attacked USA if Russia hadn't come visiting our shorelines to keep his a$$ out of our grass. Trump is part of that Satanic Illuminati cabal also - that is why he refuses Jeff Sessions military support so FBI can make an arrest sting of tens of thousands. The sealed indictments have been there over a year. Jeff Sessions doing his job and Trump in his "Just Say No" mode just incase Reagan becomes reincarnated, I guess.
I like how the old dude in the live interview started reacting as soon as he heard "In a tweet from the white house". Like btw was bracing himself for stupidity.
Well we do know Russia is a country full of vicious killers. Why were they ever over here anyway? Even at work I keep my eyes on anyone with an accent sounding Russian.
Shannon Lawhorn " *or* ", as a binary logical operator isn't mutually exclusive. In other words, for the statement "A *or* B" to be "True", you can have that statement "A" is True, statement "B" is "True", or, both "A" and "B" are "True". In this case, I agree with you: both statements ("A" and "B") are "True", which makes the whole statement ("A *or* B") "True".
Hillary For Prison Warden...Hillary will visit tRump in prison and maybe buy him a designer orange jump suit from Javanka. Extra orange juice for trump so he can make his own makeup.
Unfortunately, this is something that really shouldn't be rushed. Mueller needs to take all the time he needs to make sure his ducks are all in a row, so that when he finally pulls the trigger, the accusations stick.
Yeah, it's been a whole year, and no evidence. All he's gotten was a few guys on unrelated charges... when is he finally gonna throw in the towel on this crazed witch hunt?
No Stephen, this isn't the "first time" his party has turned on him even a little. They do this same song and dance all the time. Trump says/does something reprehensible, they distance themselves without actually agreeing to do anything about it, then Trump backtracks, pretends he meant something else to give those same republicans the most basic form of cover in the media and then they act like nothing happened. Theyve done it more times than I can count.
Catherine The question will be will history books tell the WHOLE TRUTH to all this stupidity that the orange moron has said and done. Im betting that much of the truth will be omitted. 🤓😧
That ambassador's response killed me... I burst out laughing out loud in my living room at about 4 AM and pity my poor roommates who will discover my splattered remains when they wake up.... 😂
Gary Galván : :👍! To top your comment this song from early 70's by Stealers Wheel " Stuck in the middle with you" ! 🤪seems that it was written for today!
Remember this from 2 years ago? I hope you and your family and friends are okay and not suffering from Covid 19 or poverty. Trump is not attacking American cities with "Campaign thugs" who are shooting at regular people protesting his evil!
Steve Lion. Why don't you look into it yourself. You know, do your own research. Then you could present a reasonable argument. Maybe even get to the truth.
How do you know I havent done research? I have and for the most part while many news medias are biased and lean to a political ideology be it left or right they report what happens. Him calling it fake literally means complete fabrication with the intent to hurt and no proof of evidence
I get my news from trump. I listen to him speak, and I watch the actions he takes. I watch the consequences of those actions, and compare them to similar situations in world history. That's how I know he's a completely unqualified moron. It's all straight from the horse's (ass's) mouth. Seriously though, joking aside....I find it very awkward when trump and his supporters scream fake news. I'm watching trump say all that nonsense and obvious lies that can be dis-proven with the simplest of background information. How is my information fake when I'm quite literally paying attention to their "dear leader"? The man is a moron because he acts like a moron, because his ideas are moronic, because the results of his actions are moronic, because the people around him think he's a moron and are just clinging onto him for personal gain. That's neither left nor right, that's just observing the man. You'd think those hyper-american trump supporters would be more worried about it than the rest of us, given how strongly they claim to supposedly love this country.
all media need to stop maintaining the protocols that make it impossible to dive really deep in stuff that matters. Like the Bilderberg (he is not directly related, but indirect he actually is!) meetings or check this out: www.dutchnews.nl/features/2017/05/video-dutch-tv-documentary-claims-trump-has-ties-to-russia-mobsters/
I am laughing and crying at the same time!!! Laughing because of Stephen’s genius comic timing and monologue and crying because of the reality we are in with Trump.
Stephen Colbert has made me laugh at the total absurdity of trump becoming potus since Day 1 back in November 2016. And each day it has just gotten worse until now it's like watching daily Keystone Cops episodes. I still laugh - there's so much to be ridiculed, after all. And "if you don't laugh, you'll cry" kind of thing. But PLEASE!! Enough already, America!! Please make it STOP. There's only ONE way. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Xay 2 Not in the least. He is tearing this country apart. I can't wait until I get to leave this country and go to uni. In fact a few years ago, back when Trump was still a candidate someone I know was playing a game called alibi with their class, a lot of that kid's classmates had made up alibis that were something along the lines of physically hurting Trump. This was a class of fourth graders. Fourth graders hated this man that much that their alibi in a *school game* was physically hurting this man edit: These were also AAP (Advanced Academics Program) Kids
I thought he went a little too far at times... despite my similar hatred of Trump. Now I realize he was entirely correct to double down on the Trump-Russia connection. Thank you for being one of the voices preventing this from becoming normalized.
its hilarious...she always does that too...if you watch any of those press moments in the white house. Even in front of foreign leaders. There was one a week ago where the president of another country was there and laughing his ass off at her just screaming at the press...like WTF is this?
Nothing can be done except get people registered to vote in November. If the GOP loses the House, then much of the damage Trump could do will be stopped. Take the House this Fall and then coast for the remaining two years as a Democratic House blocks every single thing Trump or the Senate tries to do. Y'know, like the GOP did to Obama for 6.5 years.
007 c Not at all.. Trumps doing a great job. These clowns lie about Trump constantly.. Just two days ago Stephen told 5 lies in row about the President.. It’s not hard to find out their lies. You can’t trust anything these elitist clowns say.
Ted E, the Republicans certainly won't do anything about it and even some Democrats have shown willingness to support Trump. Think about it this November.
greekgirl209 Dear americans, please, from the bottom of my heart, don't assume an easy victory. Expect all the bigots, nazis, science deniers, idiots; in short, the whole basket of deplorables to leave their holes and vote! They are so drunk on their "victory", they don't care about consequences: if a policy creates outrage by the democrats, that's all they care about at the moment. So get your shit together, remember history and that the one reason we're all in this shit together is because if the laziness of good people. Coming november is not an easy win. Go out and check your own records, help others, offer to drive them to the ballot and literally save the world! Sincerely, the world.
Sleeping Insomiac Ain't gonna be an easy victory 'less we start offing these corporate sellouts, be it legally or otherwise. I personally am done hearing about shit like this.
CRASHjester Oh stfu! Do you know what happens when "the left" does that? They either lose (Hitler) or they win (Stalin). This is not left vs. right, not even right vs. wrong... It's sanity versus extremist insanity. And while saying "good people on both sides" is moronic, the opposite isn't: Beware! There are idiotic ass clowns on both sides! Vote against extremism!
I would not be that complacent. Between racial gerrymandering, fear of immigrants, faux news and ingrates like Hannity and Carlson, as well as a deluded 30 something percent of this country, there is a recipe for a fight. We have seen republicans willing to work with this president to preserve their political power and enhance their corporate cronies. While we may not be able to convince those pesky 30 something percent that their fears are irrational, we should work hard to convince them and all swing voters that Trump's policies are not in their best interest. We should dumb down the talking points and stay consistent with it. Failed promises, medicaid/Medicare ravaged and social security soon to be. Health care ravaged, tax cuts for the wealthy, resulting in increased revenue for them while average wages have dropped. Agriculture being affected by tariff wars, weak on national security, pissing off allies while singing praises of dictators, killing the American ideal around the world with isolationist rhetoric. The left and all moderates have to work hard to whip up every single vote they can get to take back the soul of this country. This country voted for Trump despite the fact that he showed himself unfit for office over and over and over again. It's no time for complacency in America. The soul of a nation is at stake!
Xay 2 Well I'm sure as hell not illegal and I'm a Republican. And a history teacher. And I can say without question that our president is a freaking clown...
nstewart45247 it's not that simple, the news informs people of major events as they happen. It affects lives, so switching off to concentrate on loved ones isn't a realistic option. Unless your from an unaffected country, or super rich that is.
yeesh, imagine being a comedian and having to somehow try and translate the USAs current shitshow into humor on a regular basis. no wonder comedians are so depressed.
nstewart45247 Did you just suggest that turning off access to media will somehow not make the problem a problem? That sounds like the logic of someone who didn't vote because they didn't like any candidate but complains about what has happened since.
It is scary yes acording to you a white christian nation is enemy of the US namely Russia and Putin of course but extreme muslim country and co founder of the terorist IS namely SA is a friend of US to mention just one example ... coool (is it??)
I hate to be 'That Guy', but in amongst the jokes and laughter, which is sorely needed, can we also remember that, here in the UK, one man died after being poisoned with a highly radioactive isotope of polonium, and a woman died, and five others hospitalized for weeks, after coming into contact with Novichok, a deadly nerve agent. It is certain, from all the evidence that the former, and one man and his daughter from the latter, were deliberately targeted by the Russians, with a very high possibility that the poisoning of the former was the result of a direct order from Putin himself ... That not only makes Putin an autocrat, but a murderous one as well ... but what is the betting that, President Trump didn't say anything about the election meddling that occured, and if the DNI, and DHS are both correct (as I believe they are ...), is still ongoing ... I bet all my money in bank account vs all of Stephen's in his, that Pres. Trump never said a single word about what happened here ... President Trump, if you give a single damn about the 'Special Relationship' that exists between the UK and the US, where is the outrage that several people on our soil were targeted by the Russians, that one man was killed, but also a citizen of our nation not only died, but her death is being currently investigated as murder, and not the lesser homicide ...? Even if the murder was the result of the container, in which the nerve agent was in, was discarded in a reckless manner, it is still murder ... Argh ...
nigelft Since your country cant handle themselves let Big-Daddy Trump take care of it. He hears your thoughts and prayers. May God Emperor Trump be with you. Ramen
i would hate to bring it up to you, but that nerve agent, Novichok was actually never produced within current Russia. It was made in Czech republich which is a NATO country now and Uzbekistan which is a shithole right now. So basically the whole thing was made up just to screw the world cup.
ashish kumar Yea, this is the guy who insulted every descent American running for office in 2016, and got away with it. Did the same with Angela Marko, Theresa May , the Canadian PM,and the EU, but looks like they have pour hot oil on him in front of Putin.
Hey America! This is what you get when you elect recognizable celebrities instead of people who're qualified for the job. You put a game show host in charge and are somehow shocked that your once respectable White House looks like a three ring circus side show now.
ThePunitiveDamages the qualifications to become president are the same for everyone. Trump is just as qualified as anyone else who has stepped in office. He meets every single qualification needed.
Kyle W > I would argue that Trump suffers from a rather serious narcissistic personality disorder that impedes his judgment and could disqualify him, but oddly, psychological testing isn't required for the position of potus. You have to pass a basic psych test to work at McDonalds though. But to be in charge of the world's largest nuclear arsenal only requires that you win a popularity contest, (which he actually lost by 3 million votes) What's next for you guys, Kardashian in 2020?
Ellen Anderson > To add to this, in 2016, 108 million eligible voters didn't vote. I do believe that most Americans don't like what they're seeing with this presidency and I hope this will be reflected in the November Primaries. The only thing any of you can do about this is use your vote. It's the only real power any of you have over this situation.
Is there _any_ way that Trump could be confused and under the impression that he's actually dealing with a _Canadian_ fellow named Vladimir _Poutine?_ 🤷
I live in Portugal, and for once I'm happy that people only think about us when it comes to Football. Considering that Trump doesn't watch nothing but Fox News, that's means were safe =D For once that alliance between Britain and Portugal will be usefull =P
The "say that again" reaction from Mr. Dan Coats when he was told about the invitation gives a lot of insight into how disjointed the white house is, from other parts of its own government.
András Bíró ummmm Americans have two choices. Be friendly or be enemies. Russia isn't going to stop lol. They hack into everything. In every country. So what response would you have?
Something to do with the over 100 million voting age Americans who stayed home on election day in 2016 and let it happen. Turns out it's hard to undo what's done.
Jack Pot its not about PARTY , OR THE SHADE OF SOMEONES SKIN WHICH IS ALL REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP CARE ABOUT . ITS ABOUT AMERICA DO YOU WANT PUTIN AS YOUR PRESIDENT . WELL PUTIN IS ALREADY TELLING TRUMP WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO SAY TRUMP IS NOT ONLY INCAPABLE BUT IS ALSO WEAK THATS WHY HE CAN STAND THERE AND SAY " PUTIN WAS VERY STRONG . TRUMP IS EVEN READY TO THROW YOU UNDER THE BUS OR LET PUTIN KILL YOU SO THAT HE TRUMP CAN LOOK STRONG . ITS YOUR CHOICE
Jack Pot hey lets smoke the peace pipe on that . YOUR MAIN POINT IS TWO PARTIES BEING TO EXTREME . MINE IS A FEAR OF HAVING A SHADOW PRESIDENT CALLED PUTIN . 🤗
Jack Pot The problem with your logic is, why is Trump president and not another republican. Even if it is all the dems fault and they are somehow more corrupt than Trump. You guys still elected a russian puppet over other members of your own party.
Dan Coats reaction.... priceless
What say what!!
BA-WHUHH?
Even before the "say what?".. as soon as she mentioned Trump tweeted something, he dropped an epic eye roll before he even knew what was coming!
Made me think of Wayne's World: "Exsqueeze me? Baking Powder?"
Ardawan Nasrin I kinda felt bad for him☹️
He's gotta make it up to Putin after changing his "would" to a "wouldn't." Trump's in trouble very bigly with Papa.
Dee Lish. Yeah, Trump will need to give more than a reach around.
Callimo, yeah, the new TIME, with their faces morphed on the cover.
Oh, a second date already? Oh, I’m so happy for them 🤗
David Jordao at this stage people start eating each others ass. it's 2018. :D
Second Date? They have most likely been dating for years face to face and online.
Yeah but it's America that keeps ending up paying.
Well... they both seemed satisfied after 2 hours alone.....
It´s like my favourite yaoi, Putin on Ice
Thank you Stephen Colbert, and everyone involved in this video. I am so immature. Even at 40 years old my favorite part of this video is when he says "Build a Snowman out of turds". LMBO. I've watch this video more than 20 times now. I think it's hilarious. Thank you for making all of this funny Stephen. Love you allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Colbert's best monologue yet. Volcano parkour, shark dentistry, or heroin. Give the man and his writing staff an Emmy!
And that's why Trump's hates him so much he won't even say his name. ha ha.
Dude that diplomat was very creative on his insult
This is a prime example why satire is such a powerful weapon against flim-flammery and tyranny, and why dictators from Hitler to el-Sisi have generally come down hard on people who make fun of them. Keep it coming, Mr. Colbert, we need it right now.
Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Present dictator of Egypt. Although it may have been the man he ousted from power, Morsi, who did more to drive Bassem Youssef off the air. Neither of those guys have much of a sense of humor.
I love watching Stephen go "verklempt" during his Presidential intervention.... Great skit all the way through. As usual.
2 years ago and today is not better. I hope you are still alive and not sick from Covid 19. Remind your friends about Helsinki and Putin.
"Helsinki Hellsucki" lol...Steven thank you for keeping me halfway sane these last 2 years.
Beth Daughtridge I believe that Stephen shud get a raise and or a bonus for helping MILLIONS of people with all this sadness these 2yrs!😁
If you're on the verge of insanity because of politics... Probably should seek help.
*Say that again???* 😂
Flame Beats haha yeah and than he heard something he didn't expect. Priceless!!!
Flame Beats Yes, and even as he looked prepared for the worst, he still was so surprised that he couldn't believe his own ears when she told him that Trump has invited Putin to the White House.
Even after he reluctantly had to admit Putin was responsible for the election meddling, he then rewards Putin with a visit and dinner at the WH.
The cringe was obviously a show so it might not mean anything (still could)
A Perfect Da
Putin just checking out his new house before he moves in.
A lot of us have been saying "Putin for President" for the past 8+ years. I still am sure that Obama would have attacked USA if Russia hadn't come visiting our shorelines to keep his a$$ out of our grass. Trump is part of that Satanic Illuminati cabal also - that is why he refuses Jeff Sessions military support so FBI can make an arrest sting of tens of thousands. The sealed indictments have been there over a year. Jeff Sessions doing his job and Trump in his "Just Say No" mode just incase Reagan becomes reincarnated, I guess.
@anne You're a good Russian troll.. just saying a bunch of nothing to stir the pot lol I see you
😂😂🤣
Funny, I had that same thought. Congratulations America, here is your new life time president, Vladimir Putin.
💯💯💯 Facts..
I like how the old dude in the live interview started reacting as soon as he heard "In a tweet from the white house". Like btw was bracing himself for stupidity.
Ninja Channel ya he was like here we go again 🤣
Build a wall to keep immigrants out but open the front door for your enemies
Why is the left (edit: i said left... i meant to say right) like you so desperate to keep Hilary and Obama your enemies?
MrToby101 Maybe because russia believes the world should be ruled under communism while we believe and are a beacon for democracy.
Well we do know Russia is a country full of vicious killers. Why were they ever over here anyway? Even at work I keep my eyes on anyone with an accent sounding Russian.
MrToby101 because they ARE the enemy. THEY interfered in our elections.
Virak Chhang 😡😡😡
"Either he's in Russia's pocket or he's an idiot" - can't they both be true? One doesn't disqualify the other.
Shannon Lawhorn vote them out. Impeach trump now!
Shannon Lawhorn
Probably, what people say, russians has something on Tramp, like to be him a pedophile, like putin.
Shannon Lawhorn
Agreed.
Shannon Lawhorn " *or* ", as a binary logical operator isn't mutually exclusive.
In other words, for the statement "A *or* B" to be "True", you can have that statement "A" is True, statement "B" is "True", or, both "A" and "B" are "True".
In this case, I agree with you: both statements ("A" and "B") are "True", which makes the whole statement ("A *or* B") "True".
Hillary For Prison Warden...Hillary will visit tRump in prison and maybe buy him a designer orange jump suit from Javanka. Extra orange juice for trump so he can make his own makeup.
Diplomatic Tweet was F*ing hilarious
Remember when the worst he did was be a hypocrite about playing golf? Those were the good times.
David Nightingale that was never the worst of it. He's been shown to be this way since his campaign & before. Look again.
Remember when the worst of it was calling Mexicans rapists and drug dealers? Yeah wonder how anyone supported that man.
He just said that because putin told him to (otherwise millions of people are going to die).
Something called "context," I believe.
despite his long relationship with the russian mafia? yea
Thanks for giving me one of the most laugh out loud moments Steven Colbert my stomach hurts from laughing! One of your best monologues yet hahahaaaa😁
Hurry up Mueller!!!
Unfortunately, this is something that really shouldn't be rushed. Mueller needs to take all the time he needs to make sure his ducks are all in a row, so that when he finally pulls the trigger, the accusations stick.
Yeah, it's been a whole year, and no evidence. All he's gotten was a few guys on unrelated charges... when is he finally gonna throw in the towel on this crazed witch hunt?
TheHua89 Desperation? lol
I like how you can't think of a real reply, so you just insult me. That's nice.
TheHua89 No. Never rush things like that or you can be sure it’ll fail.
YO!! That quote from the diplomat @ 7:52 was BANANAS! WOW!!! I actually have trouble believing it's real - it's just TOO on point! YAS!!!! LOL!!!
Colbert is hilarious!
No Stephen, this isn't the "first time" his party has turned on him even a little. They do this same song and dance all the time. Trump says/does something reprehensible, they distance themselves without actually agreeing to do anything about it, then Trump backtracks, pretends he meant something else to give those same republicans the most basic form of cover in the media and then they act like nothing happened. Theyve done it more times than I can count.
History books are going to write about this and political science students will learn about this in their first year.
Catherine They are going to find unbelievable.
Catherine The question will be will history books tell the WHOLE TRUTH to all this stupidity that the orange moron has said and done. Im betting that much of the truth will be omitted. 🤓😧
Rasmus Finn because it's history and history books catalog history no matter how absurd
It will depend on who is writing those history books, If for example Germany had won WW2 those history books would look very different.
Perhaps Trump is seeking herostratic fame? No, he is too stupid and illiterate to do something like that.
LOCK HIM UP
?
Wow. Loved the diplomatic response.
That ambassador's response killed me... I burst out laughing out loud in my living room at about 4 AM and pity my poor roommates who will discover my splattered remains when they wake up.... 😂
“Putin has something on him or he is an idiot”, like those possible situations were mutually exclusive... (they are not, clearly)
Gary Galván Putin uses rich men Putin uses fools Putin uses the weak... hat trick.
Gary Galván He has. Impeach trump now!
Gary Galván : :👍! To top your comment this song from early 70's by Stealers Wheel " Stuck in the middle with you" ! 🤪seems that it was written for today!
Nikita Sneihnerst - exactly!
🎶Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you...🎶
Journalist: President Trump, what's your position regarding Putin?
Trump: Doggy.
LOL! Missionary?
Wide receiver
best trump joke ive ever read!! other than his Presidency obviously.
Toad Jiang I wonder if Drumpf uses "toys" with Putin. Lol😅
I'm stealing that, thanks.
i'm sick of this president
You, me & a Lot of other people around the world m8. That Blowhard should Never have been made President. Even Bush isn't this stupid or arrogant.
We all are. 😭😭😭
Remember this from 2 years ago? I hope you and your family and friends are okay and not suffering from Covid 19 or poverty. Trump is not attacking American cities with "Campaign thugs" who are shooting at regular people protesting his evil!
Congratulations he’s gone..... kinda
He needs to stop saying fake news media and start presenting evidence of why he thinks is fake
Steve Lion. Why don't you look into it yourself. You know, do your own research. Then you could present a reasonable argument. Maybe even get to the truth.
Because the point is to divide, not tell the truth.
How do you know I havent done research? I have and for the most part while many news medias are biased and lean to a political ideology be it left or right they report what happens. Him calling it fake literally means complete fabrication with the intent to hurt and no proof of evidence

This is probably Colbert's best monologue ever. Top three. ;)
I am laughing and crying at the same time!!! Laughing because of Stephen’s genius comic timing and monologue and crying because of the reality we are in with Trump.
#Metoo!!!
Remember kids, the reason for the season is treason.
And the cause of much frisson
BobH What with all that Putin pleasin'.
And that hokey bromance teasin'.
sonyahannah That secret meeting having sleezin'.
After all the sleezin’ there is pissin’
The people’s business... jailing toddlers 🤣😂❤️
Stephen Colbert has made me laugh at the total absurdity of trump becoming potus since Day 1 back in November 2016. And each day it has just gotten worse until now it's like watching daily Keystone Cops episodes. I still laugh - there's so much to be ridiculed, after all. And "if you don't laugh, you'll cry" kind of thing. But PLEASE!! Enough already, America!! Please make it STOP. There's only ONE way. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Gaye Elleray i truly hope THE BLUE WAVE is forming up now...much love from 🇨🇦
Stephen is on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Emily R. So are Trump’s pants.
The fact that Stephen is getting funnier every day is scary. It means that trump has really gone off the rails, and the US is in great danger.
The US is in great danger because CNN told you so? Do you understand how misguided you are? Trump is actually saving this country.
by lying all the time?
Xay 2 Not in the least. He is tearing this country apart. I can't wait until I get to leave this country and go to uni. In fact a few years ago, back when Trump was still a candidate someone I know was playing a game called alibi with their class, a lot of that kid's classmates had made up alibis that were something along the lines of physically hurting Trump. This was a class of fourth graders. Fourth graders hated this man that much that their alibi in a *school game* was physically hurting this man
edit: These were also AAP (Advanced Academics Program) Kids
I thought he went a little too far at times... despite my similar hatred of Trump. Now I realize he was entirely correct to double down on the Trump-Russia connection.
Thank you for being one of the voices preventing this from becoming normalized.
Capella1951 impeach trump now!
This is still epic. Probably the best segment ever.
#TRE45ON
Yeah ! That would be amazing in a t-shirt !
It is a shirt: teechip.com/new-tre45on-shirt (just one example)
StarPlaty interesting, thanks for sharing
TheHua89 45 in treason ironically fits so well, foreshadowing maybe
my goodness these comments are filled with idiots
Stephen Colbert is a national treasure
I second that!!!
Stephen Colbert is an incredible host and great comedian. I think he's awesome!
Which means he'll be at potential great risk once democracy as we know it is gone.
Who's the lady yelling over everyone else? 😂
ProdiJay Xena
ProdiJay Melania
its hilarious...she always does that too...if you watch any of those press moments in the white house. Even in front of foreign leaders. There was one a week ago where the president of another country was there and laughing his ass off at her just screaming at the press...like WTF is this?
some annoying twat who should have been thrown out of the audience
ProdiJay She does it every nite!! Melania screaming for help??
The 1980's called. They want their Ronald Reagan impression back! (love you, Stephen!) :)
What the hell??
He selling us down the river & nothing is being done
Nothing can be done except get people registered to vote in November. If the GOP loses the House, then much of the damage Trump could do will be stopped. Take the House this Fall and then coast for the remaining two years as a Democratic House blocks every single thing Trump or the Senate tries to do. Y'know, like the GOP did to Obama for 6.5 years.
Sorry but we're beyond being down the river, we're already drowning in it.
I say either release the tape or release your taxes. Thats all im gonna say
That's the best comment on the page. Enough of this sideshow already. Release one or the other.
ldchappell1 thank you
PP tape
When
I say release both. Also tell the truth about all of the crimes you have been in lol.
lol ikr he talks about everyone else yet he does the same and his so-called followers just listen to that nonsense
Trump invited Putin to come to Washington to sit at Putin’s desk in the Oval Office.
Willie Godbolt : Ha!
This is really embarrassing for the united states of America
Eye c ur maga troll bad english ignorant traitor or bot.
Traitor! "united states of America" send him to the white house for life!
You mean for the whole human race.
007 c Not at all.. Trumps doing a great job. These clowns lie about Trump constantly..
Just two days ago Stephen told 5 lies in row about the President.. It’s not hard to find out their lies.
You can’t trust anything these elitist clowns say.
Your making me laugh so hard
Honey, get ready, we will be driving to DC to protest !
Stephen you help me laugh even though I am crying inside. What a nightmare except it’s 100% real.
That comment from the Diplomat was the best ever that could have been said about Trump. I could not stop laughing. 🤣
He’s giving Putin the keys to the White House... 😂😂😂
pepper that's when you call the locksmith
...and people call the President hysterical.
That's funny???
😱
The first meeting went so well we cannot be told what was said in it.
I love how he always manages to work in an Eric joke.
Is Trump trying to get impeached?
Ted E obviously nothing is stopping him at this point.
Ted E Im so frustrated that I can only hope that he does get impeached, but who knows at this point😧
Ted E, the Republicans certainly won't do anything about it and even some Democrats have shown willingness to support Trump. Think about it this November.
Ted E He's proving repubs are corrupt and will support him to get their agenda through. No impeachment unless dems take over.
Ted E this comment from 2016?
Holy crap, Jon's musical references are so on point with the "Walk Idiot Walk" at 9:57
Lol, that was my reaction too! Spit!!!! Had to read that news 3 times!! All I can say is this makes November so much easier, every day!!
greekgirl209
Dear americans,
please, from the bottom of my heart, don't assume an easy victory.
Expect all the bigots, nazis, science deniers, idiots; in short, the whole basket of deplorables to leave their holes and vote!
They are so drunk on their "victory", they don't care about consequences: if a policy creates outrage by the democrats, that's all they care about at the moment.
So get your shit together, remember history and that the one reason we're all in this shit together is because if the laziness of good people.
Coming november is not an easy win.
Go out and check your own records, help others, offer to drive them to the ballot and literally save the world!
Sincerely,
the world.
Sleeping Insomiac Ain't gonna be an easy victory 'less we start offing these corporate sellouts, be it legally or otherwise.
I personally am done hearing about shit like this.
CRASHjester
Oh stfu!
Do you know what happens when "the left" does that?
They either lose (Hitler) or they win (Stalin).
This is not left vs. right, not even right vs. wrong...
It's sanity versus extremist insanity.
And while saying "good people on both sides" is moronic, the opposite isn't:
Beware! There are idiotic ass clowns on both sides!
Vote against extremism!
I would not be that complacent. Between racial gerrymandering, fear of immigrants, faux news and ingrates like Hannity and Carlson, as well as a deluded 30 something percent of this country, there is a recipe for a fight. We have seen republicans willing to work with this president to preserve their political power and enhance their corporate cronies. While we may not be able to convince those pesky 30 something percent that their fears are irrational, we should work hard to convince them and all swing voters that Trump's policies are not in their best interest. We should dumb down the talking points and stay consistent with it. Failed promises, medicaid/Medicare ravaged and social security soon to be. Health care ravaged, tax cuts for the wealthy, resulting in increased revenue for them while average wages have dropped. Agriculture being affected by tariff wars, weak on national security, pissing off allies while singing praises of dictators, killing the American ideal around the world with isolationist rhetoric. The left and all moderates have to work hard to whip up every single vote they can get to take back the soul of this country. This country voted for Trump despite the fact that he showed himself unfit for office over and over and over again. It's no time for complacency in America. The soul of a nation is at stake!
Doesn't this negate his would/wouldn't nonsense? You don't invite the guy robbing your family to dinner.
Harry Depova impeach trump now @
we have a clown running our country
spoken like a true illegal
edwin gonzalez I knew that from day one, no way he could be a good POTUS, it's all about him.
Xay 2 I'M LEGAL, SO I GUESS I'M ALLOWED TO SAY IT, WE HAVE A CLOWN RUNNING OUR COUNTRY !!
Xay 2 Well I'm sure as hell not illegal and I'm a Republican. And a history teacher. And I can say without question that our president is a freaking clown...
you're doing huge disservice to clowns.
That one lady screaming through out 😂😂😂💀
that intervention was so Jon Stewart.
New instructions for agent orange already?
Well yeah. Trump did that 'would/wouldn't' stunt so Putin's gotta come in and make sure it wasn't serious.
Great opening Stephen, however the news leaves me speechless. Despite the comedic delivery and awesome writing, this has become too scary.
If the news is controlling your life or happiness, time to turn it off. Focus on family and friends
nstewart45247 it's not that simple, the news informs people of major events as they happen. It affects lives, so switching off to concentrate on loved ones isn't a realistic option. Unless your from an unaffected country, or super rich that is.
yeesh, imagine being a comedian and having to somehow try and translate the USAs current shitshow into humor on a regular basis. no wonder comedians are so depressed.
nstewart45247 Did you just suggest that turning off access to media will somehow not make the problem a problem? That sounds like the logic of someone who didn't vote because they didn't like any candidate but complains about what has happened since.
It is scary yes acording to you a white christian nation is enemy of the US namely Russia and Putin of course but extreme muslim country and co founder of the terorist IS namely SA is a friend of US to mention just one example ... coool (is it??)
I hate to be 'That Guy', but in amongst the jokes and laughter, which is sorely needed, can we also remember that, here in the UK, one man died after being poisoned with a highly radioactive isotope of polonium, and a woman died, and five others hospitalized for weeks, after coming into contact with Novichok, a deadly nerve agent. It is certain, from all the evidence that the former, and one man and his daughter from the latter, were deliberately targeted by the Russians, with a very high possibility that the poisoning of the former was the result of a direct order from Putin himself ...
That not only makes Putin an autocrat, but a murderous one as well ... but what is the betting that, President Trump didn't say anything about the election meddling that occured, and if the DNI, and DHS are both correct (as I believe they are ...), is still ongoing ... I bet all my money in bank account vs all of Stephen's in his, that Pres. Trump never said a single word about what happened here ...
President Trump, if you give a single damn about the 'Special Relationship' that exists between the UK and the US, where is the outrage that several people on our soil were targeted by the Russians, that one man was killed, but also a citizen of our nation not only died, but her death is being currently investigated as murder, and not the lesser homicide ...? Even if the murder was the result of the container, in which the nerve agent was in, was discarded in a reckless manner, it is still murder ...
Argh ...
nigelft Since your country cant handle themselves let Big-Daddy Trump take care of it. He hears your thoughts and prayers. May God Emperor Trump be with you. Ramen
nigelft Where have you been the last 3 years? This Peesident does not value any relationship, other than his relationship with Putin.
Think it was a woman who died
i would hate to bring it up to you, but that nerve agent, Novichok was actually never produced within current Russia. It was made in Czech republich which is a NATO country now and Uzbekistan which is a shithole right now. So basically the whole thing was made up just to screw the world cup.
Vasiliy Nechepurenko - really? PROVE IT.
“Freshly shocked, EVERYDAY!” 😂😂
Has anyone checked the soccerball that Putin gave Trump yet for any secret recording devices?
For An Angel
The ball is filled with toxic fumes!! Or URINE!!!...Only THEY know! THEY have SECRETS.....BELIEVE ME!!
Inviting the boss back to your house is always a risk.
Steven Colbert 👍 👍👍 👍👍 👍👍 👍👍 👍
TRAITOR!
No world war 3 so to libtards that makes you a traitor.
That finishing monologue was OFF THE CHAIN!
Vladimirror, Vladimirror, on the wall, Who is the most stable genius of them all?
Mr. H I am gonna steal this idea and suggest this to Stephen Colbert as a part in another future episode. Would be epic and fun.
Stephen spitting out coffee is the biggest mood of 2018
Trump sound so soft in front of Putin.........
ashish kumar
Yea, this is the guy who insulted every descent American running for office in 2016, and got away with it. Did the same with Angela Marko, Theresa May , the Canadian PM,and the EU, but looks like they have pour hot oil on him in front of Putin.
ashish kumar that's funny considering the hard on he has for putin
That's because orange face is a coward
Where does the mug keep coming from? I GOTTA know!!!
Hey America! This is what you get when you elect recognizable celebrities instead of people who're qualified for the job. You put a game show host in charge and are somehow shocked that your once respectable White House looks like a three ring circus side show now.
ThePunitiveDamages the qualifications to become president are the same for everyone. Trump is just as qualified as anyone else who has stepped in office. He meets every single qualification needed.
Kyle W
> I would argue that Trump suffers from a rather serious narcissistic personality disorder that impedes his judgment and could disqualify him, but oddly, psychological testing isn't required for the position of potus. You have to pass a basic psych test to work at McDonalds though. But to be in charge of the world's largest nuclear arsenal only requires that you win a popularity contest, (which he actually lost by 3 million votes) What's next for you guys, Kardashian in 2020?
ThePunitiveDamages most of us americans DID NOT vote for this incompetant LIAR
Ellen Anderson
> To add to this, in 2016, 108 million eligible voters didn't vote. I do believe that most Americans don't like what they're seeing with this presidency and I hope this will be reflected in the November Primaries. The only thing any of you can do about this is use your vote. It's the only real power any of you have over this situation.
ThePunitiveDamages
I didn't vote for this idiot to be president, the Russians did.
The diplomat line was on point.😂
Lock him up.
Or gag him.
We are living in the twilight zone!
Yes! And not one of the good episodes penned by Rod Serling. One of the bad ones that ended up on the cutting room floor.
ldchappell1 yeah the one that was too crazy and idiotic to make it into an episode.
Putin plays three-dimensional chess, Trump listens to Chubby Checker...
Michael Berthelsen he's a disgrace
Putin plays Trump, Trump plays with himself.
Emperor Picard while Eric watches
honestly. Stephen may have been making jokes, but he came off as PISSED THE FUCK OFF to me.
Nathaniel Hagan
rightfully so. i think this is a time when we should be angry and pushing back.
Birds of a criminal feather collude together!
Stephen, America needs and loves you! Don't stop!
The letter to Trump was absolutely brilliant.
Stephen is an amazing actor
Jussi Raitoniemi impeach trump now!
Brought to you by the great people of the Geoge Soros foundation.
Dearest Ashton Kutcher. I am beginning to think that the drumpf in office was not a prank...and I'm truly horrified
I thought John Oliver started Drumpf.
Is there _any_ way that Trump could be confused and under the impression that he's actually dealing with a _Canadian_ fellow named Vladimir _Poutine?_ 🤷
lazyperfectionist1 if he thought he was Canadian, he would have already declared him an enemy of the state 😂 or a “security risk”
well he probably still thinks that hes playing the role of president in a tv show at the moment
lazyperfectionist1 The.Presidents brain is missing
Necromancer Raft Oh, my God, I can totally see Trump freezing up then asking for his next line.
Tony Ofarrell OMG... What was that tv show with the alien bugs that dissolved then human brain and took over there bodies?
Every day since Nov. 2016, I get happier that I am a Canadian citizen. But even though I don't live in the USA, everyday gets a bit more scary.
DaSimsNetwork it spreads. France once said, “well I’m glad I’m not Poland!”
DaSimsNetwork you did the right thing!!!!!!!
I live in Portugal, and for once I'm happy that people only think about us when it comes to Football. Considering that Trump doesn't watch nothing but Fox News, that's means were safe =D
For once that alliance between Britain and Portugal will be usefull =P
Imagine living here.
DaSimsNetwork you think it's scary there? Imagine actually living here.
the United states of America 1776 ----- 2016 . it was a great democracy for nearly a quarter of a millinium.. R.I.P.
Took white men less than 300 years to mess up Turtle Island. 😁😀😁
Pat Brennan ; Ha!
Pat Brennan greatest POTUS of all time. Trump 2024. If FDR can do it so can trump! America is greatest country on earth for a reason
delusional or troll. which are you?
Pat Brennan S L A V E R Y - the Dutch didn't have it, the Hodenoshone didn't have it... you did.
Lmao the intervention bit... "volcano parkour" that got me good.
Stephen is my happiness in this time of darkness.
How does being negative make you feel good?
Nobody Special
It's called humor. Look it up.
Nobody Special your opinion doesn't matter, your a fake person
Yeah I'm a Russian bot, here to infiltrate and possess your mind and thoughts. Collecting data.
Stephen should get an Emmy for this alone.
Amitha Alex the cry baby in office will protest tweet about it
Nik Ninja only if the right gets use it in their favor. Putin groomed the Republican party for his own ends.
He will don't worry. It's about all that's left of the left
Nik Ninja THE TRUMPUBLICANS AND MAGATARDS THINK SO !!
Quinton Merkson MAYBE HE'LL SUE!!
The "say that again" reaction from Mr. Dan Coats when he was told about the invitation gives a lot of insight into how disjointed the white house is, from other parts of its own government.
Awww the checkers was a double entendre! Literally thought about a checkers cheeseburger, not the toy, haha!
i´m really frightened bout the fact that nearly the half of US-voters still support this mistake on legs…
You know, I can buy that Trump is a *Stable Genius* ... I mean how many other horses can speak?
Please don't insult horses :/
A donkey, maybe?
I see what you did there.
I'm thinking more like the horse's ass.
Incitatus
After watching junk news from Trump, Stephen's show keeps me from going crazy.
Ain’t that right!
Junk news from Trump? Soooo Fox Entertainment News? Psssst...Fox isn't News....just sayin.
Same here. If not for comic relief I'm afraid I would curl up in a fetal position and cry.
I just got an advert for a Trump brand "media accountability survey."
I don't trust it.
Unfitproduct Airborne but CNN is?
I LOVE YOU COLBERT.......I CANT STAY SANE WITHOUT YOU!!!!
This isnt a meme or joke, despite colberts great delivery.
Impeach trump now!
youtooberman9001 then war with Russia! Right?
Who wants war with Russia?
But it seems like you want Putin to be your president. Or maybe he already is.
András Bíró ummmm Americans have two choices. Be friendly or be enemies. Russia isn't going to stop lol. They hack into everything. In every country. So what response would you have?
nstewart45247 nice false dichotomy, idiot
Facilitating peace with Russia...yes Impeach him! Jackass.
Third date trump and putin, you know what that means.
Stella Bar oh that's old news. That happened years ago I'm thinking.
Every day is like the red wedding again. This president tv series has the best writers, consistently the best show on tv
Nick Yang I agree! Emmy award winning.....FOREVER!👏👏👏🏆
Nick Yang, yeah, just give him an Emmy already. It's all he ever wanted. So we can get rid of him already.
Imagine actually being in the audience when he does all these shenanigans 😂😂😂
WHY IS TRUMP STILL PRESIDENT ?
Something to do with the over 100 million voting age Americans who stayed home on election day in 2016 and let it happen. Turns out it's hard to undo what's done.
Jack Pot its not about PARTY , OR THE SHADE OF SOMEONES SKIN WHICH IS ALL REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP CARE ABOUT . ITS ABOUT AMERICA DO YOU WANT PUTIN AS YOUR PRESIDENT . WELL PUTIN IS ALREADY TELLING TRUMP WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO SAY
TRUMP IS NOT ONLY INCAPABLE BUT IS ALSO WEAK THATS WHY HE CAN STAND THERE AND SAY " PUTIN WAS VERY STRONG . TRUMP IS EVEN READY TO THROW YOU UNDER THE BUS OR LET PUTIN KILL YOU SO THAT HE TRUMP CAN LOOK STRONG . ITS YOUR CHOICE
Jack Pot hey lets smoke the peace pipe on that . YOUR MAIN POINT IS TWO PARTIES BEING TO EXTREME . MINE IS A FEAR OF HAVING A SHADOW PRESIDENT CALLED PUTIN . 🤗
+virginia schoch Because there are still 3 1/2 months til the midterms.
Jack Pot The problem with your logic is, why is Trump president and not another republican. Even if it is all the dems fault and they are somehow more corrupt than Trump. You guys still elected a russian puppet over other members of your own party.
I wished he would just move to Moscow already..
Ursaltydog, If only 🤞😒🤞.
Of course they are meeting again, everybody knows the good stuff happens in the third date.
Artemis Wolf of wall
at least let him take him out to dinner first, gosh.
Negasonic 117 I don’t know about that, Putin doesn’t seem like the chocolates and flowers type
Trump puts out on the first like his daughter did to him.
he seems like the intelligence and hacking type to me
I need to know which ambassador said that because that was awesome 😂😂😂
