*were

Wait until November to see if he becomes president, he's not there yet

Aah, you 5 months ago... How naive you were...

Man how trump proved him wrong

The Aura Tree Sorry how naive who was? I was naive thinking he'd loose i admit but so did most.

+Anas Maaz To be fair, Jimmy Kimmel/Fallon provide levity whereas Stephen provides that much needed sucker punch wit. That he happens to do both so well is just a bonus...

+Tafami The thing is you need a certain amount of intelligence to understant over 85% of Colbert's jokes, Jimmy's jokes could be easily understood even by a toddler. In Asia, humour is always very sarcastic and has a lot of depth. May be that is why I like this so much. For example, we make fun of each other based on colour, race and other stuff. The person who is being joked about will have a laugh or come up with a better joke!

Anas Maaz That's what I mean. Stephen's audience expect a higher standard of wit than say, the Jimmies. I watched a lot of British satire growing up and in some ways,Stephen's humour is similar in tone. He should guest star in Have I Got News For You.

+Anas Maaz but not better then conan , he is the best

+Anas Maaz Fallon should be ashamed of himself of being the lapdog of Trump.

:l

+Florence MacKenna Seriously, this so much.

+Florence MacKenna I'd strongly prefer him over Clinton or another Bush. I'm sick to death of the tailored bullshit.

+Jack Napier Nope, that's going too far. It IS worth another Bush or Clinton if we can get rid of Trump - that's just the thing.

+Florence MacKenna He does have a chance.. I mean let's be real a minute here... If Obama can win TWICE then sure enough Donald Trump can win too.... Strange things happen.

***** They really aren't worse - well, a couple are, but I'd still purposely vote against Trump with nearly anyone.

+a martinez He always spoke from the heart...even when he was playing a character, you could tell what he was saying, regardless of what he was saying. (If that makes any sense.)

But it was such an awesome character!

+Jo Mama sex

+backflashproduction True. It is not like he is well educated, funny, insightful and has a great team of writers and researchers working behind the scenes, or anything.

+Distracted Observer It's unfortunate when you can't discuss a contemporary issue professionally without being attacked by someone opposed to your view (like you mentioned, this applies to both sides). How are we supposed to enact any change when we can't even talk about the problem without devolving into petty name-calling and fighting?

+The King of all things Muffins "How are we supposed to enact any change when we can't even talk about the problem without devolving into petty name-calling and fighting?" Maybe that's the point. Keep the peasants fighting among them selves.

+Distracted Observer True. As for anything in life, you will be judged and criticised regardless of your opinion.

So youll let yourself be silenced... That explains why nobody speaks up about anything unless somebody famous mentions itband it becomes acceptable to say it.

+Distracted Observer Guns do kill people, more than knives and any other tools combined. Now you have the right to say that.

+Saint Val It's almost like we're stuck in the 1950's.

+Saint Val As nuts as the current Republican party. Atleast he let the truth out about the Benghazi "scandal". 9 tax payer funded Republican driven investigations into Hillary Clinton and its all been politically driven to bring down her numbers. Very pathetic if you ask me, I hope the dems go full force and charge all those fools.

Almost as nuts as Joe McCarthy.

+Christian Neihart hence the McCarthy hearings. We just need cigarette ads on TV to complete the picture.

+Dudeius Guyson The other lie is Benghazi brought her numbers down. Bernie is the one killing her numbers.

+God I wonder if it sings when you open it.

+Phil Buckhouse Like that birthday card in Easy A?

***** Yeah either that or a Michael Jackson song.

+Phil Buckhouse A golden bible would be the best paperweight I ever owned right before I sold it for scrap metal. I'd rather have Michael Jackson's glove and wear it daily.

+God Are you one of those people who has nothing better to do than to assume some alternate character and to create a KZfaq profile dedicated to it? That's really sad.

Oh geeeeesh! yes!

+Jay Maharath No

+Jay Maharath Oh no! remove the video!!!!!!!!

+Jay Maharath It hurts.

+Jordan O (Ponydigger9) ,fg

DiggitySlice its so sad

now trump does the fake friend face... changed

Yes

Matt Johnson lol yup xD

*Stephen.

+DynamiA3 *Phtephen

+DynamiA3 he is referring to the description, which use to say *steven

jordanfrazierful Yeah, I figured that out after reading some of the other comments.

+wcm5150 who the fuck is Steve?

Scree that in the history of the program GO COLBERT!

+Born_ HG Actually Albert Einstein made that definition up jokingly.

Interestingly, if you look up "insane" in any dictionary, the definition we're talking about doesn't appear. It's just a pop culture saying.

+Hampus Please, as if something made by Ubisoft could have anything deep in it.

+Hampus You think that quote originated in Far Cry lol? I hope you're young.

+Richard Thomson Actually this quote, unlike most, is in fact from Einstein, and he was using it as a criticism of quantum mechanics, which postulates precisely that if you repeat an experiment in the exact same conditions you'll get a different result. I suppose the quote might in fact be older than him.

***** are you talking about Colbert?

+1994CPK Trump as president is worst case scenerio

+uthemon Sorry Bubba, that ship has sailed. Seen that video of Obama with a tele-prompter malfunction? I did.

+uthemon We are now. Iran is in stitches! And Mexico can't stop laughing! China either... TRUMP 2016.

mlbloverock You're paranoid af, Mexico doesn't celebrate when the U.S. struggles. You do realize they are our allies?

+Nonya Biznnus * follow-up

+Grammar Nazi wrong.

It was just my opinion. Everyone is great. You guys (or girls) are all great. No need to argue with people we'll probably never see in real life.

+Nonya Biznnus jimmy kimmel sometimes has good ones about politics.. not as good as Stephen.. jimmy fallon is all about singing and playing kid games and what not.. plus fallon is ALWAYS saying to celebrities "I Love It!!" and it gets annoying.. i mean seriously.. stop saying "I Love It".. first off, don't suck up THAT much and second, you don't love it..

+Simon Thomas Sometimes I feel like the only person who listened in AP US

+Simon Thomas If you're a fan of Stephen Colbert, chances are you're at least a little bit of a political junkie. So, I wouldn't sell them TOO short.

+Simon Thomas haha yes the reference to the McCarthyism era where court hearings/investigations were established to see if people were communists? Government going completely corrupt. I honestly think it never reverted back to the stages before world wars. The cops are obsessed with the power they have. The military to majority of the american population is similar to the roman legions where they are sent off to slaughter barbarians.

+851995STARGATE Honestly? Because we have. Its hard for people who don't own guns to understand but the fact of the matter is we have a multitude of gun laws going back to 1934 at every level of government (federal, state, municipal). There are many informed gun owners on both sides of the aisle that would support legislation if it would do anything but there's nothing left that has any logical chance of improving these situations as regards guns. Every transaction through an FFL (Federal Firearm License holder) must have a NICS (National Instant Check System) check. You already have to pass a background check to buy weapons, every weapon. "Better background check" "Common Sense Gun Laws" these are terms that sound good but nobody wants to explain what they actually mean. Fact is that many mass killers pass background checks because they don't have a criminal history until their spree. Magazine bans? Columbine was done in 1999 during the height of an increased period of US gun control called the assault weapon ban which prohibited magazines that held more than 10 rounds. Waiting periods? Spree killers often plan their attack for months or years. They know they are going to die and use as much time as they need to prepare and commit. The recent news crew shooting displayed both an ability to pass a background check and waiting for months before the killing. Fact is, these measures don't even slow down these massacres and people who own guns, know guns, and deal with the existing gun laws regularly know this. To even have an impact we would need to ban guns entirely, but not just that, also a nationwide confiscation which will never happen for both political and economic reasons. But say that it did, the Boston Bombers didn't need guns to kill 4 and maim 264 people (They had guns but the bombs did most of the work). Of course, if guns were illegal it would create a much more lucrative gun running market (just as their is a multi-billion dollar drug running market) and ultimately that illicit activity would create more violence, not less. Guns are also not that hard to make, royal nonesuch is a youtuber, appears to be a teenager, and has all kinds of hand made guns on his channel. If a kid can do it, hardened criminal organizations can do it better. More gun laws make people who don't like guns or even fear them feel better because they equate more gun control = more safety. But this isn't true and as Stephen said, doing the same thing and expecting a different result is insanity. This is probably the primary reason the right (the majority of gun owners) bring up mental health because our mental health system in the US is pathetic and improving it is an avenue that is largely unexplored in preventing these tragedies. Now some spree killers are simply evil people but I think the majority are untreated mentally ill. Improving our mental health system is something that isn't actively pursued and it makes sense why it could prevent these kinds of tragedies which is why I think so many familiar with guns and gun laws in the US support trying something that might work.

Why make a law when crazy doesn't follow it

+851995STARGATE The NRA opposes ANY type of law that would decrease the number of people that are able to buy guns. They have actively campaigned to strike laws from the books. Their answer to tragedies like the one in OK is to allow more people to conceal carry. That's right, the NRAs answer to gun violence is to have more guns out in the public domain and more people carrying guns. How is that for cognitive disonance?

+Honesthedgehog Life We can still try can't we. The NRA doesn't even block the crazy from getting them. More sales I guess. And how many guns does one person need for protection? 1, 3 or 5?

What we should try is actually fund the psychiatric wards and further mental health awareness. I don't support the NRA as you said, they'd give a gun to anyone. But I don't think imposing laws on people isn't going to be very productive. That would be something just to make people comfortable, and isn't reaching out to the mentally ill who need attention.

Too late

Missy Barbour 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

+Phil Buckhouse District of Columbia v. Heller already settled this. We have to respect all SCOTUS decisions not just the ones we agree with. The founding fathers were pro revolution and even agreed that it was healthy to have a bloody coup every 20 years if necessary. If you put an AR-15 in front of them they would have said oh hell yes the individual should have access to this.

Well by the same token, the Founders were also slave owners. So I wouldn't call them messiahs. They WERE human after all.

+Phil Buckhouse lol that is what you did in your first post and now you are backpedaling. Wow.....

Where am I backpedaling? All I said was the Founders...who were imperfect to begin with...wrote the Bill of Rights, likely not anticipating what guns would evolve into. And if they did advocate bloody rebellion every twenty years, then they're a group I don't want to follow.

+Aaron Misner thanks for your analysis on common sense. And a common quote attributed to Einstein

Brian Ashley The direction of change can be...directed...as it were. ;) I agree.

you can float and go where the river takes you, or swim, and go you want to go.

And have a fake smile sometimes, it hurts, I'm tired of faking it.

+PresidentSohCahToa lh3.googleusercontent.com/f8Hma6GBytBmXKkHgi_tQja2PcStfvXmRcQFeBQlOu0Xl4BzpgkED_-Ohw2JqZfn0Noye9I4ICypdPGRZ2hft5hs3X4fJbDPTbUy7Mp2vHJuUNrR0SENqAJhk5wvn-FBBeCPt1KL this data implies the opposite.

+PresidentSohCahToa I think a waiting period might also help for individual homicides - more time to let the blood cool. I wonder what we could do to prevent the killing sprees. Maybe more youth centers, so kids don't grow up so aggressive? Better foster care system? Any ideas?

Yes

+evofd I completely agree!

+evofd So what decisions, for example?

+evofd I think Colbert is saying that his wording is what is telling. The intent of the hearing in his mind is to weaken her politically, not about Benghazi itself and those that died. You are correct that a byproduct of such a hearing could be that it exposes Hillary's ineptness, but it should be a byproduct not your intent.

yes, and I didn't vote for Hillary either. I'm an independent.

+StopTheMorons It's a talk show, any other label you want to add onto that is your own bias interpretation. Yeah and what about all the right wingers that have been on? Another idiot making a non-issue into a partisan issue for no reason.

+Naftul Zvi haha All the Republicans that have been on his show are there for campaign reasons. Jay Leno use to have them on also, what Jay never did was preach politics. It is a wonder his numbers are falling to Jimmy Fallon.. You can have politicians on the show, but to insult half of your Audience is foolish, and yes, regardless of who has won the White House this last half century. The American people are basically 50/50 split Conservative and Liberals. The split sometimes is 52/48 or something like that, but basically we are a nation divided down the middle so its stupid to insult half you viewers.

Naftul Zvi No, it isn't my own biased interpretation. The show is being used to push agenda--period, the fact that I mention and criticize the party of the left in no way indicates that I support the party of the right.

+StopTheMorons So basically, you're saying that talk show hosts should keep their mouths shut if they say things that you disagree with, and that you're only willing to watch political figures on those shows if they're Republican. Boy, that First Amendment really sucks for you, doesn't it?

Gunman610 That isn't what I'm saying at all. Neither mainstream political party is representative of me. This has nothing to do with 1st Amendment, what part of it's an entertainment show do you not understand? Those people can have all the fucking 1st Amendment they want on the political shows! Oh but I know someone will complain they don't and therefore that's why Colbert must do it. Well that's horseshit!
