Stephen Colber Show cancelled after mocking a Trump bribe

[Foxi4]

That's hard to do because these people claim everything is fascism, if you don't challenge them they get away with it. Almost all topics will go down this path because every topic has some variation of "something that has nothing to do with fascism is fascism", and challenging those claims will inevitably derail the topic. The alternative is just ignoring it at which point it becomes a circlejerk of "so true sis we are surviving fascism" over and over.

Also the person you are replying to constantly derails topics with off topic one liner replies that have nothing to do with the topic (and it's 99% of the time just a personal attack), I blocked him for that reason.

I phrased it as a polite suggestion, but it’s not really a suggestion, it’s forward notice. If the thread continues to be a battleground for flame wars and every discussion on the planet except the one it’s intended to contain, it will just have to get locked until we know more about the situation. I don’t want to do that, I’d much rather let people have their say, but it has to be civil and orderly. Work with me, guys.

That's fair but also, that is also almost every thread on this section.

Correct. We should get back to the topic, and limit the scope of our inquiries to the show itself, the statements made by the parties involved (Colbert, CBS, Paramount), the allegations raised in those statements and Late Night more broadly. We seem to be talking about everything *except* that, from child molestation to communism in Spain. At this rate the thread will become useless due to lack of substance. I urged all participants to get back on-topic and I’ll do it again. That *doesn’t* mean you shouldn’t be talking about Trump or the current admin, but try to limit yourselves to how that relates to the subject as opposed to getting lost in the sauce. At some point we have to draw a line in the sand and let cooler heads prevail.

You keep saying it's off-topic but then you contribute to discussion anyway. You have no right to blame everyone else. You don't really care about the forum rules. All you care about is the opportunity to defend Trump at every juncture and the opportunity to not respond to posts proving you wrong.

Politics get heated and words get exchanged - I account for that and let people have their diversions, on the proviso that they actually lead somewhere constructive. Right now we’re only getting further into the woods, swinging from one aside to the next.

I tend to answer questions when I’m asked them directly. It’s rude to ignore people, though I’m not always able to address everyone. Pobody’s nerfect.

Just to lead by example, what I’d like to know is whether Colbert is already forming any plans on returning to television under a different brand, which is not uncommon. The success or failure of such a follow-up show would be the ultimate litmus test of whether the decision was driven by the show’s accounting or other factors. If this *really* is the best Late Night has to offer, I’d expect other broadcasters to be lining up with offers, and these things tend to move quickly. That is, unless Colbert plans to go solo for a while, which I’ve also seen happen. I wonder what his exit plan is, and I’ll be looking forward to see future developments in that sense. I personally view Late Night as a dying format, but he could potentially transition to a podcast model successfully.

The Epstein files are tangentially related. Post-cancellation, Colbert has already been taking shots at Trump for being the pedophile that he is. It's only a matter of time until the government does something drastic to try to prevent people from talking about the subject altogether, on both TV and the internet.

Dang, we just making shit up at this point?

For the millionth time, having a green card DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN'T BE DEPORTED. It's so telling the people who don't know anything about the immigration process (like Foxi I am also an immigrant who came legally and I am fully aware of the process) and yet will feel the need to chime in on immigration issues without even understanding the basics.

If you commit a felony while having a green card it will be revoked and you will be deported. It has always worked like this, yes even when your precious Obama was in office. And that's how it should work.

Did I say it means you can't be deported? No, I said it means you can't have your god-given human rights violated and deported without trial to a country you didn't come from. ICE can literally just say you committed a felony and you have no way of arguing otherwise before you are left for dead. If you're an immigrant, then all I can say is you have a sad, pathetic case of internalized xenophobia.

Also, just because I point out that Obama factually didn't do the shit you accused him of doing doesn't mean I worship the man. Obama was still a warmonger, as was Biden. This may be hard to believe, but plenty of people on the left don't care for Democrats either. But unlike you, I actually give a shit about reality and facts and I'm not pulling any means necessary to put Trump on a throne.

And all the right wing whitewashing piffle and "financial reasons" have become moot since Dump now literally just threatened the View with cancellation making an explicit referent to Colbert Thank you WH for never keeping that mouth shut.

How is such a pissy tangerine toddler somehow an ideal for men?

so why doesn't it apply here?

Because they are not doing the same thing, illiterate. If you can't see that you need to go back to school.

There is also a substantial difference between Venezuela and the US: venezuela is being actually strong-armed and blackmailed by the US - Dump's derangement about america being treated unfairly by international partners is, as i said, derangement and false. And venezuelan rhetoric is nowhere as vile as US one about this. Let alone about other matters, and not just the rhetoric.

 

[BlazeHeatnix]

For anyone who still has doubts about Trump being involved with Colbert's cancellation, you can shut your fucking mouths now.

So you're saying that the power outages in and inflation in Venezuela were actually caused by the US? Because that is what they are claiming.

It is actually far, far more deranged, because the US IS, in fact, being treated unfairly by international partners. Meanwhile the US had nothing to do with Venezuela's energy crisis and hyperinflation, that is entirely fabricated, and it resulted in thousand dead, and their own government didn't bother taking accountability. That is nowhere near as "Vile" as Trump wanting fairer deals with its supposed international partners? It is hilarious you don't see how deranged you sound, they don't call it TDS for nothing!

If you're an immigrant, then all I can say is you have a sad, pathetic case of internalized xenophobia.

Or I actually know far more about you than immigration and the people coming here illegally as I literally went through the process and grew up with them while you live in a bubble and think it's sustainable to let in the entirety of the third world in because the opposite would be to be mean. Your suicidal empathy is not a virtue.

I don't give a shit whether you're an immigrant or not, you are still xenophobic as fuck. The typical MAGA psychopathic dismissal of empathy seals the deal.

Okay another awesome nuanced reply by resident leftoid Dark_Ansem, can you admit that the Venezuelan government blaming others for what led to thousands of deaths is far more serious than Trump crying trade is not fair (trying to throw you a bone here jesus fucking christ lmao)

I am sympathetic though, I am sympathetic to people who actually went through the normal process and had to wait upwards of 10 years because USCIS was flooded by bogus """asylum""" claims from people who only applied to get a work permit. I am sympathetic of the people killed by illegals like Laken Riley. I am sympathetic of the people who were basically held hostage by el tren de aragua in Aurora until the local government decided to do something and take a PR hit by letting it go as long as I did. I remember as a kid being terrified every time my mom went out wondering if I'd see her again because there was a high chance she could get kidnapped, guess by whom? Yeah, by el tren de aragua back in the early 2000s when they operated in Venezuela. I simply grew up with a background completely different to yours, high risk, low trust, one that isn't sheltered, and I understand that unfortunately, there are very bad people in this world, and unchecked mass migration is how you let these people in to then destroy your country.

Your suicidal empathy is not a virtue, you cannot let in the entirety of the third world.

You've not worth the effort, when all we get is lies, bigotry, whataboutism or simply cowardice (after you're proven wrong).

You're THE bad faith arguer of GBATemp

You don't get it, do you? Let me spell it out for you, you ignorant fucking child: nobody, including me, said anything about letting everybody in. The argument is about deporting people without due process. Deporting people to countries they never even originated from and violating their basic human rights. Deporting people who are not even illegal, some of whom are not even immigrants at all, and punishing minor crimes by sentencing them to death in a warzone or maximum security prison. You haven't mentioned one fucking word about any of these things, which I have brought up, multiple times. All you have been doing is rambling about how illegals are bad and that empathy is bad and acting like you're some kind of fucking authority on the subject just because you claim to be an immigrant.

I hate you. I hate every shitty thing you represent about this forum these days where bigoted little shitstains like you are allowed to spread your racist, authoritarian dogmas as if you're just "asking questions" and "having an opinion" and expecting nobody to think you deserve a kick in the balls for it.

 

[kiaghi7]

hey man I'm down to clown on Bill "Struggle for me" Cosby any day but you gotta not use ANY AI thing ever, for any reason

It's a summary... the evidence is what it is... if you can refute it, then Cosby's defense team would love to hear from you.

 

[SonyUSA]

Trump will claim victory over any event that happens, even if he wasn't even remotely involved. I fully expect by next month he will claim the medal he stole is his and he won it competing.

If the network was so outraged by his speech, why would they not terminate his contract immediately and cancel any remaining filming? In any business, when someone is getting fired, they immediately revoke authority, they don't give them a very public platform to stand on and pay to let them keep saying whatever they want. It's foolish to entertain the notion that the network isn't letting the lie propagate to bring in a big audience before cancelling a low viewership/profit show.

Also I think his show is dumb as hell I could never sit through more than a few minutes over the years, I'm MORE surprised it wasn't cancelled sooner.

I need nothing from you. If you had asked this from the beginning I would have happily said that this particular thing is worse than Trump fascist rhetoric about trade. But thats it. Doesn't invalidate anything I said while you keep moving the goalposts.

On a positive note South Park's creators just gave the big middle finger to the orange menace in their 1st episode of the new season 27.

Oh and its all so more sweat that Matt and Trey just got a 1.5 Billion Dollars 5 years contract with Paramount LMAO (!!!), after the same network cancelled Colber.
