  • I have held Donald Trump in contempt for years. What took the court so long?
  • “It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” Joseph Heller, Catch-22, published in 1961 ... Perfect description of Trump and his MAGA movement.
  • If you think Cohen deserved prison time, but that his then boss trump does NOT deserve prison time, it's time to start questioning your ability to be rational.

    Blankenship was jailed for the conspiring to violate federal mine safety; the worst mine explosion at Massey Upper Big Branch Mine, 29 workers died.
  • @dogstar7
    Don Blankenship: Massey Energy, Big Branch Mine disaster of 2010. Twenty-nine out of thirty-one miners at the site were killed. Blankenship cut ventilation to the mine to increase profit.
  • @jaynorris3722
    Why bother with the fine?? He won't pay. Just put him in a cell already.
  • @carolscholp3659
    Isn't he the guy who was responsible for the coal mine that 29 miners died in
  • @darrylmars
    Jail IS Necessary & prison is long overdue
  • @jodinsan
    So he's mad that his attorney isn't helping him violate the gag order. That's some real Trumpian logic there.
  • Don Blankenship is a terrible human being and should still be in jail. He served a one year sentence for the deaths of 29 people. He should serve 2 years in prison for every life most due to his gross negligence.

    Colbert is the only thing that gets me through this country's messed up politics

    Paying $130,000 to silence a porn star you didn't have sex with, aka "The Shart of the Deal."
  • @gamepapa1211
    A less-orange man would have been thrown in jail for a fraction of what Trump did. Two-tiered justice system at work.
  • @Kantikoy
    Northwestern University became the first U.S. school to publicly announce a deal on Monday, which was followed by Brown University's announcement on Tuesday with student organizers to curb protest activity.

    1:40 Can we just appreciate the band for playing the first couple notes of "Jail House Rock" when Stephen said Trump may get jailtime? Clever, funny, perfectly timed, thank you Louis Cato and THE LATE SHOW band <3
