Forgiveness. Thank you Colbert.

[mahina]

Confession: I stopped tuning in to Colbert's show when he got on the age bandwagon, ridiculing Joe Biden for cognitive lack due to age.

I stopped listening to Pod Save America for the same reason.

I forgive but I would like to understand the mechanism, the decision making processes that lead them to pile on Joe for his age. There was shit he could do about it for one thing and he was more on the ball on his worst day than most.

He's done a lot of good, his heart is in the right place, and I forgive.

Nobody deserves to lose their show for upsetting a wannabe dictator. It's bad for the country, for real.

Hoping Jimmy Kimmel is safe.

Thanks, I feel better.

1. And Joe didn't bother to retaliate, he understand the game

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. I think if Biden had chosen not to run for a second term, Colbert and the others wouldn't have piled on so strongly

IMO

3. I hated that Colbert got on that bandwagon

I thought he was better than that. But the good he's done vastly outweighed that.

6. OTOH, his job is "comedian," not "cheerleader." n/t

9. He's still doing the bit

He did a week or two ago even though Biden isn’t in the news and Trump is 10x worse than Biden on his worst day.

I don’t get it. It’s just a cheap shot at this point.

10. If the audience laughed, that's why he did it. (n/t)

4. i suspect he just liked to do the impression.

he does do a pretty good joe.

5. All of that, and

He was telling the truth.
He didn’t treat Biden like Trump expects MAGA to treat him.

7. that anti joe shit that all those celebs were doing still pisses me off. i don't forgive as easily nt

8. That is why, as much as I always liked Jon Stewart, I couldn't watch him on his Monday

night return to The Daily Show. Every time he showed his frustration at the Dems running this old man I wanted to scream "What are you doing? He is running against Trump and you are going to poison this well by complaining about Biden's age? Trump is only a few years younger - WTF! This election is too important and you Jon, should know better."

I still say, maybe it was there but I just didn't see the feeble frail man that others saw in BIden. I saw a hardworking, decent man who was the best President of my lifetime. Maybe they did keep it hidden but except for that night at the debate, I thought he was pretty sharp mentally. JMHO

11. Same!

12. He wasn't as bad as others
