I miss the Silly Hat bit and Midnight Confessions. Recently, he doesn’t even switch to the desk after the first monologue. I enjoy Seth Meyers a lot more than Colbert now. There aren’t a lot of ‘bits’, and it’s mostly political commentary. But it’s sharper than Colbert’s material and Seth’s writers are more diverse…

This is probably too much of a hot take for the internet, but I think that Stephen Colbert is an upstanding gentleman.

Oh man I was holding my breath as I was reading that headline.  Because headlines that start with “[Celebrity] admits” seldom end well, and I don’t think I could handle losing Colbert right now.  

Mother Nature has got our back, y’all.

Bright spot: Henry Z

Well she’s Black and a Woman, and intelligent, which is a fatal flaw for the president, and the Republicans. The fact that she remains so resilient in the face of such hate is admirable beyond measure.

She is everything the administration and his base hate. A respected, talented, intelligent, successful Black Woman. We all saw the way they went in on Michelle Obama, a woman on her pettiest day has more class than Melania Trump.

You’d think that any human Facebook monitor with a lick of sense would have looked for Richard Spencer to ban him.

I’m a member of an Infantry Veterans group and we routinely get 3 day to week long suspensions for posting grunt type shit and I mean they delete posts within MINUTES of being posted in our private group and this dude is allowed to run two blatantly racist pages with zero repercussions for that long. What a strange…

Does this look like the face of a man who messes with trivial matters?

The fact that Mueller is making Donald Trump and this collection of scumbags shit in their pants is too good. He has his tax returns and probably has the piss tape in high definition with directors commentary. Trump and his family of grifters made one fatal mistake, they pissed off the intelligence community. These…

I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the idea that he was asking them to commit a crime of some sort. I mean how many other people keep walking right into what looks like obstruction of justice?

Probably a whole lotta nothing, unfortunately.

I think that the lawyers knowing that he intends to commit perjury and being asked to perjure themselves (and thus commit a crime) are equally likely.

If history is any indication, all four of those scenarios are typical Trumpian behaviors.

Do know this (it was something Rachel reminded us the other evening that I’d forgotten):

Agreed. In my context, we petition to withdraw if the client doesn’t pay and we satisfy a few conditions (gave the client notice, our withdrawal doesn’t prejudice them, etc.). But yeah, non-payment, intent to commit perjury, but also, client is just a giant dick, an imbecile, or unhinged nutter who doesn’t understand…

I lean towards the client being deceptive. There are signs that point to them being kept in the dark every time the press uncovers something and asks them to respond. The responses remind me of deer caught in headlights.

“I am not a lawyer, but I would think if three defense attorneys suddenly don’t want to defend a client any longer — especially in a high stakes case such as this — that could be an indication that an anvil is about to drop on someone’s head.”

Welp, it was nice having “Master of None” for two seasons.
