Wanna see how important border security is to Trump, and not just the "wall" so he put his name on it? Tell him he can have 25 Billion for the wall as long as it's named after Barrack Obama.
I love the way Chuck looks over at Nancy when Trump is boasting "I will take credit for the shutdown!". It's a quick glance but it says loud and clear "Can you believe this idiot just said that?". And then Nancy wisely shuts down the conversation before Trump can back-peddle and hedge. Trump is way out of his league.
I watched Sean Hannity's broadcast from last night. Many of the facts and statistics the president shared tonight were on Sean's show last night. Trump depends on Sean like Melania depends on Michelle for speeches 🤣.

Australian here in peace. First to apologize for giving you Rupert Murdoch and indirectly Fox News. You are right that Rupert loves a winner and will jump ship when he thinks Trumps time is up. Has done it before in the UK and Australia. He is a menace to democracy and the world will be a better place when the decepit old bastard dies. Problem is that his mother, who was a fine woman, made it to 100 so it appears that he has inherited her genes. Apparently his heir apparent Lachlan though is a bigger right wing nutjob than his old man but without the smarts.
"If Donald Trump wanted the wall, he'd have negotiated away something of value to get it. Or at least tried to do so. He doesn't want the wall. He wants the *fight* over the wall. He wants to be seen going to war over the wall. That's what tonight is about." -Ezra Klein
The fallacy in that statement is assuming that Trump actually has negotiating skills. He has hiring-lawyers-that-are-good-at-negotiating skills. To believe otherwise is just buying into his repetitive rhetoric.
No surprise, really. Look what the shutdown is doing: the newly Democrat-controlled House is on leave, the Mueller investigation can't turn in its findings and some of their duties have been restricted, everyone is paying attention to it instead of other news. Perhaps most damning but I certainly wouldn't put it past him: consider that with the TSA restricted the likelihood of a real terrorist attack... such as another 9/11... is the highest its been in a decade. Now consider how he would spin a terrorist attack and how much power he could fearmonger away from people in the wake of such an attack. Now go look up how Mussolini came to power. The longer this shutdown continues, the more time Trump has to consolidate his power and hope for a lucky* break. *-I mean 'lucky' here, of course, only as it applies to Trump's desire to be a dictator.

I remember before that shit he once said he'd never do a shut down. Then the shut down happened, & like always it was a lie he told to get supporters. I am so glad he's out of office.
I forced myself to watch Trump’s entire speech tonight. It was excruciating to watch at just over 9 minutes long. For the first couple of minutes he seemed to be calmly reading the TelePrompTer with his hands folded on the desk. Then he started to use hand gestures and I thought, oh oh, he’s going into campaign rally mode. The camera then panned it to focus on his head and shoulders. He made it through the rest of the speech with only his trademark occasional sniffling to distract from the substance of the address. The substance of the speech was a more coherent and tamed down version of the fact challenged talking points that Trump, Sanders and Pence have been repeating previously. I could see Trump’s input into the speech, but he definitely did not write it himself. I then watched Pelosi and Schumer give their response which lasted about 5 minutes. They were both very stiff reading from the TelePrompTer. The bottom line of their response to Trump was open up the government now while we continue negotiating border security. The bottom line to me is Trump and the Republican controlled House and Senate had two years to fund and build the wall. It didn’t happen because most Republicans think it is a waste of money. Now it’s political theater to blame the Democrats so the Republicans can try to rebuild their base. I think if the shutdown continues and Americans are harmed, Trump will be given the blame by the Republicans who will try to weasel out of their complicity with this sham and hopefully all will pay the price in the 2020 elections.
@@RickyUzumaki993 And @ Jeffrey Thurnau, did either of you also catch the FACT that this was also his Campaign 2020 speech??

I am noticing so very few media outlets are reporting on the speech itself this morning. Seems Colbert's reaction of 'Great, they let him read his tweets on-air' is the correct response!

Carla Marlene YES! Thank You for thinking of that! Avenue does have a lot more class! And Obama does have a large amount of class! Hay, we could name an alley, in the worse part of the city, “trump’s alley”. You know that all the greatest people, from all over the world will travel to NY just to see it! Especially Russians. It will have the highest garbage piles, the very greatest pot holes, and the most offensive smells in the whole state! We could even have his name written on all of the walls! He will be so proud and thankful that he has finally succeeded in being the best at something that the city! 😂😂😂😂😂
I get that. But drummers beat things. Wouldn't a nice keyboardist that knows how to use his fingers be a lot better? How be an accordian player that can finger, squeeze, and gyrate all while standing? (Maybe that's why Weird Al is so popular?)
I didn't get to watch the full speech, but from the highlights I saw, it was pretty typical. I think one of my favorite lines was when he said something like: "at the Democrats' request, it will be a "steel barrier" rather than a comcrete wall". As if the government has been shut down for over 2 weeks because they can't agree on what materials to use.
Imagine if trump set up an address and just confessed to all the crimes and other awful things he's done? He'd go down in history, people would be talking about him forever. He'd love that. He should do it.
Wow, 1 in 12 American citizens has a felony conviction. Ironic, I learn this from a comic actor. I am guessing the punch line is parking tickets are a felony in the USA?
I’m not fooled. And neither is Mueller. The reason for more time being given to the investigation isn’t to finally dig something up, but to make an airtight case. They’ve already found something and want to make sure it sticks. I can’t fucking wait! My nipples get hard just thinking about the buffoon sweating off his fake tan on the stand.
He gave the speech because he needed to connect with his base and his advisor told him could not go on a campaign tour while the government was shut down
So glad to have a POTUS with a backbone! We've had broken promises since Reagan, Clinton talked nearly as tough on the border and illegal immigration as President Trump. Even soy boy Obama has his tough talk moments. Glad Trump just doesn't want to talk and promise, but to walk and act on his promises. Simply refreshing! America's needs first! #Trump2020
Also a fine advertisement for just unplugging and having a whiskey with a friend, which is what I was glad to do. I very much expected no new information was going to come of it. Just a bunch of nonsense. Looks like I wasn't wrong.
Hello from Holland! Stephen just ripped the ass of the Orange One! I still haven't heard the speech yet because it was 3 a.m. here, but it's been recorded and I am REALLY looking forward to it!😊
The address was just ten minutes of blame shifting, dodgy figures, attempts at pathos that rang utterly hollow, and just flat out lying. Classic Cinnamon Hitler, really.
'Cinnamon hitler'; good one. Made me laugh. I've seen other names like: mango mussolini and cheeto, but i personally call him the 'orange savior' due to the way his worshippers believe his every lie and think he will save america.

Both are cringe-fests, stupid and vomit-inducing. But one is fare worse than the other and that is Trump's speeches. EDIT - this was not to Miller. Seems the original post I was replying to is either gone or edited. It said nothing about Miller, it said that watching Trump's speech is worse than watching The Human Centipede (hint do NOT go google it! or if you do, have a strong stomach)

I then watched Pelosi and Schumer give their response which lasted about 5 minutes. They were both very stiff reading from the TelePrompTer. The bottom line of their response to Trump was open up the government now while we continue negotiating border security.
The bottom line to me is Trump and the Republican controlled House and Senate had two years to fund and build the wall. It didn’t happen because most Republicans think it is a waste of money. Now it’s political theater to blame the Democrats so the Republicans can try to rebuild their base. I think if the shutdown continues and Americans are harmed, Trump will be given the blame by the Republicans who will try to weasel out of their complicity with this sham and hopefully all will pay the price in the 2020 elections.

Agreed
@@RickyUzumaki993 And @ Jeffrey Thurnau, did either of you also catch the FACT that this was also his Campaign 2020 speech?? Yeah, his peeps sent out emails to *cough* supporters to donate to his reselection by 2100 ET. After the 'speech', they then sent out new emails to extend the deadline for his *cough* supporters to donate!! Dayum!

_THIS IS A CBS NEWS SPECIAL REPORT_
And both of us just slid down in our seats in realization that we forgot he was speaking tonight and screamed, "fuuuuuck..."
@jack flash JFK's assassination and Donald Trumps desperate pleas for an ozymandian ego trip are nowhere in the same league.
@@sethbritton6970 JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963. "jack flash" was referring to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination. That lapse in history recall aside, I agree with your post.

Quisling Donald Trump
@@thomaspayne6866
Could I suggest you read the Quisling own Tweets? Or watch his interviews on Fox?
I am noticing so very few media outlets are reporting on the speech itself this morning.
Seems Colbert's reaction of 'Great, they let him read his tweets on-air' is the correct response!
I don't know if this is absolutely hilarious or alarming that this monologue was recorded before the Oval office address and didn't miss a beat is Agent Orange really that predictable?!😂

Absolutely!
I really really love the idea of changing the street name in front of the trump tower to....
“BARACK OBAMA STREET”

And Obama does have a large amount of class!
Hay, we could name an alley, in the worse part of the city, “trump’s alley”.
You know that all the greatest people, from all over the world will travel to NY just to see it! Especially Russians.

He will be so proud and thankful that he has finally succeeded in being the best at something that the city!

3:33 Jon playing “If I Only Had A Brain” had me busting out laughing.
STEPHEN EXCELLENT WORDS ALWAYS SPOKEN SPEAKING GRATEFUL FOR YOU
My reaction was to scream into a pillow for 20 minutes.
Was it a Michael J Lindell's (Fox TV) MyPillow. inc? I hear they're selling out, around Washington DC.
I had to mute Trump to stop my screaming. But then I watched the Pod Save America analysis, and got to see it all over again. Ugh.
@@broddr lol, I've been watching those young men and they're funny and quite smart.
New Message I was just snapping back at him. My dog was concerned.
You know I’ve been laughing so far but that speech was crazy. Greetings from Europe!
Stephen Colbert is just FANTASTIC, he says it as it is.
"Tap water and hardboiled toast". That strikes me as very accurate.
Love the cutaway look of Joe the drummer when Stephen singles him out. LOL
Joe is hottt
Girls and bad boy drummers, I'll never understand! LOL
Every girl wants a bad boy... It's the promise of naughty things that may occur which attracts us...
I get that. But drummers beat things. Wouldn't a nice keyboardist that knows how to use his fingers be a lot better? How be an accordian player that can finger, squeeze, and gyrate all while standing? (Maybe that's why Weird Al is so popular?)
Well sometimes you need gentle and sometimes not-so-gentle... It's a mix... Maybe a drummer who is a good pianist too... ;)
I didn't get to watch the full speech, but from the highlights I saw, it was pretty typical. I think one of my favorite lines was when he said something like: "at the Democrats' request, it will be a "steel barrier" rather than a comcrete wall". As if the government has been shut down for over 2 weeks because they can't agree on what materials to use.
Trump going to Shark Tank for his wall wound be a good SNL sketch!
Wasn’t there something similar on Monty Python?
Yes he so RUDELY interrupted Ellen’s Game of Games :(
Trump should be a contestant on Ellen's game once he leaves office, which hopefully will be sooner rather than later!
That was actually a pretty good Bill Clinton impression lol
I find the 730 Unlikes hilarious!
So sense of humor and reality
"YOU MONSTERS HE'S A HUMAN BEING!!!"
That's up for debate.

Chuck just told Mitch to open the government or the house will shut down the Senate
Tom Zitting
It would be nice to see Mitch get shut down.
Just resign trump and everybody will tune in and you’ll have record numbers!
Imagine if trump set up an address and just confessed to all the crimes and other awful things he's done? He'd go down in history, people would be talking about him forever. He'd love that. He should do it.
Gotta love the Air Bud reference ❤💓❤💓❤💓❤💓
Wow, 1 in 12 American citizens has a felony conviction.
Ironic, I learn this from a comic actor.
I am guessing the punch line is parking tickets are a felony in the USA?
No, but non-violent drug offenses certainly are. Especially if you're African American .
trust me, it is much higher, so sad the US has more people in jail than any other nation combined, hope u are proud of that fact dumdass's

He wants to be on TV everyday. That's all he ever wanted...to be the center of attention.
Diverting attention from his legal problems. He's creating chaos to keep us from looking too closely at everything he's done.
and he just seems to thrive on creating chaos everywhere throughout the world.
Yup, and the stock market. The problem with it is the more people talk about it, the more investors get spooked.
I’m not fooled. And neither is Mueller. The reason for more time being given to the investigation isn’t to finally dig something up, but to make an airtight case. They’ve already found something and want to make sure it sticks. I can’t fucking wait! My nipples get hard just thinking about the buffoon sweating off his fake tan on the stand.
And cable and network news corporations are all too happy to keep the chaos going, rather than be part of a solution!
Robert Mueller is not one bit distracted. Quietly working away😊
After watching first Trump then Nancy and Chuck I tune into Colbert to touch base with reality.
Stephen gets me through Quarantine. Old or new. He is a professional in every way AND his kids r cute. Haha. Ty stephen

So glad to have a POTUS with a backbone! We've had broken promises since Reagan, Clinton talked nearly as tough on the border and illegal immigration as President Trump. Even soy boy Obama has his tough talk moments. Glad Trump just doesn't want to talk and promise, but to walk and act on his promises. Simply refreshing! America's needs first! #Trump2020

“Epidemic of disco fever” 😂
The Trump "Primetime address" was the best simultaneous advertisement for an expanded cable channel package/Netflix4life ever.
Definitely crossed my mind when I heard it was to be on every channel & as I had just recently cut the cord. :-D
Also a fine advertisement for just unplugging and having a whiskey with a friend, which is what I was glad to do.
I very much expected no new information was going to come of it. Just a bunch of nonsense. Looks like I wasn't wrong.
“The new face of Gondor: How Orcish migrants are shaping Middle Earth’s first multicultural society”
I angered at the part where Donnie the draft dodger mentioned Vietnam...just like the giant sack of skin he has always been.
So good to be having a great laugh again! When all this is over, Stephen should get a Humanitarian award for saving (us) the planet!
Huckasands is a vulgar excuse for a human.
Hello from Holland! Stephen just ripped the ass of the Orange One! I still haven't heard the speech yet because it was 3 a.m. here, but it's been recorded and I am REALLY looking forward to it!😊
You didn't miss a thing... More Ranting 😉
The address was just ten minutes of blame shifting, dodgy figures, attempts at pathos that rang utterly hollow, and just flat out lying. Classic Cinnamon Hitler, really.
'Cinnamon hitler'; good one. Made me laugh. I've seen other names like: mango mussolini and cheeto, but i personally call him the 'orange savior' due to the way his worshippers believe his every lie and think he will save america.
@@achillessix846 and @ProjectFlashlight612, did you also know that this stunt was also his 2020 reselection campaign speech? His peeps sent out emails to his supporters before the speech, for donations, & to do it by 2100 E.T.
Afterward, they sent out new emails to extend the deadline of those DONATIONS! Wow, just, Wos!

One of the few things that Trump genuinely cares about is ratings so nobody should be surprised he wanted to speak in Primetime.
Using the bully pulpit to get a free campaign spot.
Stephen Miller is a human being ? He kinda reminds me of Lord Voldemort but scarier.
What's with his hair?!
Both are cringe-fests, stupid and vomit-inducing. But one is fare worse than the other and that is Trump's speeches.
EDIT - this was not to Miller. Seems the original post I was replying to is either gone or edited. It said nothing about Miller, it said that watching Trump's speech is worse than watching The Human Centipede (hint do NOT go google it! or if you do, have a strong stomach)
@@Katzztar I wouldn't say Miller is stupid.
A threat to decency, compassion and humanity, yes. But not stupid.
What hair? He sprays it on
His hair comes and goes, depending on the day of the week and who he's talking to. I think it's basically indexed to how many fucks he gives at the time.
The real Voldemort is Rick Scott, Miller is just a poor copy.
ooh, foiled again by Trump's arch-nemesis -- his mouth.
Donnie-boy's throwing a tantrum over something which was just a method to remind him to focus on immigration.
OMG this live address thing was complete insanity. 😴🥴 First Chuck I will take the Mantle, now blame the democrats and advertise for fund raising immediately, while being on Prime time. 🙄
