Courtesy of Raw Story:
Stephen Colbert tromped out to a cabin in the woods to find Jon Stewart on last night’s “Late Show,” in hopes that the former “Daily Show” host could explain how Donald Trump came to pass.
Putting aside his chi kombucha, Colbert invited his friend in for some kale jerky, but desperately begged him to forego his beard care to explain how Donald Trump became the Republican nominee for president.
And ye shall know him as Colbert.
The Word, I thought I was going to die and go to heaven.
As if that was not exciting enough, and it was exciting enough, Daily Show alumna Samantha Bee also took a turn at mocking the convention. And she even brought a little Sarah Palin into the mix.
Courtesy of The Wrap:
Samantha Bee kicked off her Republican National Convention coverage with a scorching indictment of — well, pretty much everything about the convention.
She began by mocking the fact that numerous sponsors pulled their support from the RNC due to Donald Trump’s controversial nature and the fact that many popular Republicans like Sarah Palin have declined to speak at the event.
Bee also ripped the party’s ultra-conservative platform, which solidified its staunch stances on transgender bathroom use and against gay marriage.
There is literally so much to mock that I think these shows may have to hire extra staff.
I can hardly wait to see what is in the offing for tomorrow.
Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Covering the RNC was such a herculean undertaking that Stephen Colbert not only enlisted the help of Jon Stewart, but he took the REAL/FAKE Stephen Colbert out of mothballs.

ReplyDeletekeep them informed...
ReplyDeleteO/T - signs are the VP, to be revealed on Friday, are either Kaine or Vilsack. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSherrod Brown was a name mentioned as well, and funny story, until I just googled the name I thought that Sherrod Brown was a black female politician!
DeleteI wanted Warren, but I think it's Kaine.
DeleteEEww. More bad decisions.
DeleteShe needs a liberal to energize.
Instead she picks some conservatives/moderates to snooze the ticket.
Kaine might not be too bad but Vilsack will just drag the ticket down.

Delete'''until I just googled the name I thought that Sherrod Brown was a black female politician!'''

Sherrod is a male name. I ave never heard of any female named Sherrod
There is so much entanglement with business and money with Russia it is more than frightening and the REthugs in the campaign "gutted an anti-Russian provision" and "stopped the GOP platform from expressing support for arming Ukraine."

No idea in double hockeys who would watch this and find it entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI agree...why waste the time watching and listening to the constant hate they are spreading?! You can get info on it on the internet when and if you feel like it.
DeleteSounds like the speakers are all bashing Hillary Clinton continually and spreading lies, hate and anger.
Supporters of Hillary Clinton (like me!) need to send her prayers and love. She has my vote!
She'll bring calmness and sanity back to one fucked up mess!
I'm sending money off to her campaign tomorrow.
I know right? This convention is darn right painful to watch!
DeleteThe Bush family is in pain. Like it is the end. That is serious pain.

I was so happy to have them back! I've missed them so much!
ReplyDeleteI find it very interesting that Trump feels a need to appear publically every night of the convention. It's as though he believes the convention is all about him! Who would have thought that?!
ReplyDeleteBeing that he is now the nominee it pretty much IS all about him.
Delete"...and the fact that many popular Republicans like Sarah Palin have declined to speak at the event."
ReplyDeleteNow that is the deepest pile of bullshit I have seen lately. Sarah would never, ever pass up an opportunity to run her shrill mouth about anything.
In all fairness she was experiencing a conservative-christian-family-values crisis ;-)
DeleteOl' crazy loon would have been there in a heartbeat. He never invited her back after her Iowa/Oklahoma performance. Track a convenient excuse, let alone the media would have brought out her skeletons.
DeleteSee anyone "lamestream" media post her Facebook quotes today? Nope! They are done with her. Bye bye, $arah.
Paging DUHkota; know you read here. You have one loooong road of you cred-wise if you ever want to enter politics. Never say you weren't warned.
DeleteThank you! I really enjoyed all these clips.

Drunk girl has some important things to say at convention. A little levity from the RNC.

Sarah 'declined' to speak... I still am not buying that load of hooey. There were other things going on; Track and his continual problems first and foremost. But declined to speak? Since when does Mat-Su meth mouth ever miss an opportunity to get TV time???
ReplyDeleteLMAOed at "too far away."
DeleteOf course she was.
$arah, Brissy, Dumbkota - any comments?
DeleteMostly Sarah declined to pay her own way and still not be allowed on the stage. No way they were going to let that word salad near a microphone.
DeleteDrinking game to keep you sober: "Where's Token?" Kind of like the "Where's Waldo" of the RNC convention.
ReplyDeleteStart with Christie's Kangaroo Court - rather reminiscent of Pontius Pilate's.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, first debate at Wright State cancelled.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! Thank you Gryph!!! Can't stop laughing! More popcorn please!

ReplyDeleteMostly low energy. Not like a convention, Trump's new design. The kids were polished and well trained. Tiffany has her mother's southern charm, she makes him human. The oldest son is a good speaker and said all the right things. Chrispy was vile, he has a limited niche audience. Trump is giving the nasty speakers a place, it can be
ReplyDeletedocumented to show later in future video. Don the Con does something like skype in. So far it is dismal performances.
Tiffany kept all her report cards because he wrote on them. The rest of the show was downhill.
Sarah has a picture on Facebook of family outdoor. Honeymoon is over for Prissy. Could she sit any farther away from Dakota without falling into the lake?
ReplyDeleteWhen Fall comes around and he is locked up with that bitch in 17 hours of darkness with her squealing he is going to blow.
Yup. Those long dark hours gotta be filled with something, & it won't be sexytime with the 'wife'. Me thinks he and Trax will be the BEST of drinking buds to help cope with the boredom.

white sheet and pointed hat!
He looked fat as hell! Doesn't he know this? Never EVER appear in silhouette again, you fat fuck! Get some of $ara's meth, make you lose some weight!
Deleteot is the big nose behind Sarah's hat Jordan Loew? The person with white elbow in blue shirt, Track Palin?
ReplyDeleteTonight he did the We are the Champions entrance and got someone to give a fabulous Melania speech.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a fun week.
I was hoping for more Stewart tonight but hopefully he'll be back before Friday.
So it's true. Donald did hijack the Republican party. He's got all those whiny bitches in tow. Good. Now Donald, don't show how liberal you are until after the election. Hee, hee.
