In this regard, John Oliver is a worthy heir. Colbert is not a journalist and is not funny enough to be a comedian. He is a liberal courtier in the same way that Sean Hannity is a conservative one. Please do not try to dignify him past that.

Good grief, everyone on this thread thinks it's politics as normal.

As long as we can the transgender bathroom thing sorted out and those people can piss and shit with dignity, none of that other stuff you mentioned matters.

Re: Colbert takes the gloves off on Trump
OK, fair enough, Reagan had to go for it, but I think it actually worked out better for him for Ford to have taken the hit, the Democrats were going to win that one, Carter took Texas, he took Florida, he took Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, popular vote was close, but on the electoral, he crushed it, it was better for people to get a taste of a what a nutjob Carter actually was first, then it became the exact moment for Reagan to pounce, after four years of New Age Kooky Carter trying to govern like Fidel Castro, the country was perfectly primed for a throwback to the Good ol' Days.clubgop wrote:Reagan did not bide his time after watergate.

The Gipper got a big boost, from a massive Carter backlash.

Re: Colbert takes the gloves off on Trump
Ok chicken little, SJW. "Like literally Hitler won, you guys." I didnt any of those people would win but your party has no goddamned bench they are going to have to pull someone out their ass. Now they might, but they kinda did that with Obama, they blew their special meter and haven't been mounting any kind of offense to build it back up.jbird4049 wrote:Good grief, everyone on this thread thinks it's politics as normal.

Re: Colbert takes the gloves off on Trump
Oh please, Carter was a bigger socialist than Bernie Sanders, the amount of Leftist kookery that the people were willing to consider back in 1976, is far beyond anything Sanders proposed, heck, Nixon was practically a Sanders, Sanders is just slightly Left of Richard Single Payer Public Healthcare Nixon, and as for Trump, he's basically the Gipper all over again, the only difference is, the Gipper harkened back to the Good ol' Days of the 1950's, whereas Trump is invoking the Good ol' Days of the Gipper, in the 1980's.jbird4049 wrote:

Basically, you're just living in a post Ronald Reagan/Newt Gingrich America, in the 1970's, America was a kooky basket case, the seventies, maaaan, it was crayzee, maaaan.
People think of the Sixties as being the hippie dippie decade, but that shit didn't actually start until the end of 68', most of the Sixties was actually high and tight like the Marine Corps, the Seventies, maaan, that was the real hippie dippie decade.
