Uhhhhh, you do realize that John Oliver has to come up with only 30 minutes a week, right? Colbert does 5 one hour shows a week after doing four 30 minute(22 minutes) shows a week for about a decade.TenBenny wrote:I think Colbert is a sharp, funny guy, but I have to admit, oftentimes I just feel like we're descending into a culture of grade school/junior high name-calling on both the liberal and conservative sides.

I'm not saying I didn't find Colbert's segment funny, but I think Obama was right when in his last speech he said it was imperative that the country needs to start pushing through to find the middle ground.

Aw. So many tears.
I guess I'll be looking into the sponsors of the show and making sure I buy a double supply of all their items for a while.
ETA: I've served my time. The Trump sig pic is done.
I think what I like about John Oliver's segments is that while he's nailing the stupidity and absurdity of the political administration, it's slightly different in that he's going further into an exploration of these situations and ultimately piecing together a few ideas for what to do about them. Colbert and Meyers are great at what they do, but the straight zinging gets a little repetitive for me.

Re: President Trump
Hey, I get it. I get what you're saying and I know that's what they're expected to do, believe me. I'm just lamenting that we're all stuck in this back-and-forth loop in the culture. I know that Colbert or Meyers' shows aren't meant to be Meet the Press or Face the Nation.exitflagger wrote:Wtf? It's the job description of those guys to do "straight zinging". They aren't politicians. I think Meyers and Colbert do a good job voicing the frustrations of people who are horrified by the stupidity of our current situation. If they didn't exist somebody would have to invent them.
Believe me, the anger hasn't even gotten off the blocks yet. You better buckle up, sweetheart.
Re: President Trump
I totally understand needing that release through comedy. Trump's presidency is a disaster and the jabs definitely do help.Mojo wrote:The over the top, sophomoric performances we're getting from the late night guys are absolutely what I need. Its really hard to feel much pride in my country, right now. And I fucking hate that feeling. As childish as it may sound, it helps my sanity to hear guys like Colbert say all the shit I want to say. It helps to hear that people do see what an absolute buffoon Trump is. It's a shitty, helpless feeling when you know your country is fucked. Comedy is the only way we can collectively deal with it. It's that or depression.
Although I still deal with some depression over this. That's why I can only really read the news at the end of the night.

Re: President Trump
I want all the Trumptards to take note of the current level of whining within the Republican party, right now. It's been common for the Right to (rightly, in many cases), point out the shitshow of the Left's reactions to things they don't like, and to (wrongly) claim that the Right doesn't do that.
The Right are losing their shit over jokes, right now. Calling for Colbert's firing, discrediting Bill Nye, etc. The Right are led by a man who wants to shut down the entire government because he's not getting his way. He wouldn't even attend the press dinner because he's too weak to be clowned on. Republicans are being major, major pussies.
I get what TenBenny is saying, though. The levels of societally accepted respect are breaking down. Until recently, in the same way that you wouldn't openly flout a police officer's orders or go loot a store when you were angry, you wouldn't be as harsh about the leader of your country, even if you weren't a fan. But people are fed up. People are reacting to a system that is continually handing them fist after fist of bullshit, and those once-sacred tenets are breaking down. It's all connected. And it's only going to get worse.

I believe our intelligence is doing the job against terrorism in the US. And accept that some rare attacks are the price for living in today's world. I don't think about it very often and am not afraid in the least. So who are the real snowflakes chewing their nails in front of Fox News?
Re: President Trump
I am aware of that, yes. I think Oliver's show definitely benefits from that, giving it freedom to be something unique because of the format and longer preparation time. Of course a good chunk of each Colbert's show, about half, is filled with interviews and performances, but still I agree with you.Rageman wrote:Uhhhhh, you do realize that John Oliver has to come up with only 30 minutes a week, right?

Re: President Trump
Seriously, fuck every voter who either thought that the Idiot would be a good POTUS or even those who stayed home because..e-mails or her cankles. I warned people that the Fuckhead would let the religious right into the government, or that things like birth control could be endangered. Never!!! But...lo!
He is naming Teresa Manning,who literally doesn't think that birth-control works, as:
He opinion on birth control?:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/20 ... _work.html
Also, removing anti-discrimination protections for LGBTetc and soon to sign an EO that lets churches get involved in politics w/o losing their tax-exempt status. The POS is turning the federal government into fucking Alabama.

Of course this is the same bitch who thinks God should be involved in family planning and a bunch of other bullshit. So yeah, I told you so.At a stop on her book tour in 2003, she told WBUR that “contraception doesn’t work” because “its efficacy is very low,” so sexually active women who use a birth control method might still get pregnant

More Howard Stern commentary. He spent some time dissecting Colbert's surge in popularity and the Hillary loss. Very astute thoughts.

Re: President Trump
The people that are calling for Colbert's being fired for his obscenity are the same people who couldn't give a fuck less about Trump grabbing pussies, calling women pigs, calling POW's losers, and condemning an entire ethnic group. Unfuckingreal.

Re: President Trump
John McCain was held for five years after being captured by the Vietnamese. He was tortured daily, had his limbs broken multiple times, and refused to be released without his fellow prisoners. Say what you want about his politics, but the man is a Grade-A Motherfucking Badass. Rev, your president called him a loser because he got captured. Your president was a draft dodger. You're so proud of being in the service, and yet you support this piece of shit? How willfully stupid can you be?

Re: President Trump
Rev, are you saying you are privy to info that Colbert sexually assaulted a bunch of women he works with and then paid them hush money to the tune of several million dollars? No?
Or did he just make a dick joke?
Seems like a legit parallel.

Re: President Trump
Well, it looks like Republicans are going to make another attempt to repeal and replace ObamaCare tomorrow, only this time they're trying to be stealth about the American Health Care Act provisions. Either they, or Trump himself, continue the obsession with destroying the accomplishments of Obama's presidency.
