If you ever want to know how important education is, watch an Obama speech and then watch a Trump speech.

Raise your hand ✋ if you STAND with Stephen Colbert against Trump

After taking off in Air Force One for his son’s wedding, Trump abruptly cancelled his plans and returned to Washington to continue fucking over the American people.

The worst part about the American invasion of Cuba is the fact that Trump RAPED KIDS with Jeffrey Epstein.

On September 11, 1974, a ten-year-old boy named Stephen Colbert lost his father and two of his closest brothers, Paul and Peter, when Eastern Air Lines Flight 212 crashed into a cornfield hillside just three miles from the Charlotte, North Carolina airport. Only 13 of the 82 people on board survived. In a single afternoon, the youngest of eleven children in a warm, intellectually curious Catholic household went from a boy surrounded by laughter and big family energy to a kid sitting in a suddenly very quiet, very dark home with only his grieving mother for company. The two leaned on each other in a way that most people never experience. Lorna Colbert held herself together not out of bitterness, but out of a fierce, quiet love, and Stephen watched that and absorbed it into his bones. He later said his mother was never bitter, just broken, and that her example became the blueprint he carried for the rest of his life. For years, though, the real weight of the loss stayed buried. He floated through prep school detached, unbothered by the things other kids cared about, because nothing felt quite real anymore. It wasn't until he went off to Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia that the grief finally cracked through, and it hit him hard. He dropped from 185 pounds down to 135 during his freshman year, barely eating, barely functioning, consumed by a sadness he had held at bay for nearly a decade. But something remarkable happened on the other side of that collapse. He found theater. He found improvisation. He found that making people laugh was actually a way to connect with human suffering rather than run from it. He transferred to Northwestern University, stumbled into the world of Second City, and slowly built himself into one of the most empathetic, genuinely funny voices in American media. He later reflected that losing his father and brothers gave him an awareness of other people's pain that allowed him to love more deeply and connect more honestly with what it means to be human. That is not a small thing. That is everything. Via Chronicles Through Lenses

wowww Paul McCartney just returned to the Ed Sullivan theater as Stephen Colbert's final guest on The Late Show...62 years after his first appearance with the Beatles in 1964. he surprised Stephen with a signed photo from that performance Stephen: "To Stephen: you're better than the Beatles." Paul: "No, it doesn't say that!" Stephen: "When my editors are done, that's what it's gonna say, Paul"

Jimmy Kimmel's programming advisory about going dark opposite Thursday's 'Late Show' finale included some strong words for CBS.

Thank you, Stephen Colbert. 💙

12:53 AM ET. The end. The final 90 seconds of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The Late Show ends tonight. After 33 years. Letterman built it. Colbert inherited it & turned it into something entirely his own. Across town, Jimmy Fallon & Jimmy Kimmel cleared their schedules. Both shows going dark tonight. No competition. Just space for the finale. When your rivals voluntarily cancel themselves so you can have the night to yourself, that's not just common courtesy. That's the industry telling you what it actually thinks of what you built. Whatever you think of the show, that's not just a send-off. That's a verdict. 🥂

“Please enjoy Colbert’s final shows,” John Oliver told viewers at the end of Sunday's 'Last Week Tonight.' “He’s the f*cking best. Good night, and good luck, motherf*ckers!” Full story: latenighter.com/news/john-oliv…

Here's to Stephen Colbert, a man of great integrity and wit. Onward, friend, to bigger and better things.

@LePapillonBlu2 They will blame Joe Biden 😂

Presidents have always been mocked: Ford. Reagan. Bush. Clinton. Obama. Biden. But trump is the first one fragile enough to try to silence comedians because they hurt his feelings. My Substack on why fascists fear laughter is FREE. Please read and share. brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/the-tiny-fra…

No, you’re not entitled to compensation just because Joe Biden hurt your feelings. That’s not how the law works in America. Trump’s looting of taxpayer money to create a billion dollar fund for his insurrectionist rioter friends is illegal and unconstitutional on multiple levels.

Joe Biden wasn't dumb enough to start a war that resulted in the closing of a strait that we needed to keep our economy from completely tanking.

President Biden: Student Loan Forgiveness. Donald Trump: Insurrectionist Forgiveness.
