#FireColbert is now the top trend on Twitter

[brettdale]

Seems to be a lot of bot accounts.

I guess he struck a nerve.

[Wounded Bear]

47. Sounds like he scored high on the Trump scale...

of how many Twitter repeats.

[gratuitous]

3. Sounds like the delicate deplorables need their wubby

The poor dears. Life is so just so tough for them.

[sheshe2]

12. OMG

[Neema]

39. Titus is my favorite character ever.

I just had to say that.

[amuse bouche]

17. That was great. I missed it because I got caught up

with Kimmel's amazing piece.

[SunSeeker]

24. His best line toTrump: "The only thing your mouth is good for is Vladimir Putin's c- -k holster."

[Cha]

38. omg! Ally Sheedy Tweet..

[Pluvious]

40. And NYT's just had their best quarter EVAH !! n/t

[StarzGuy]

25. Ha, Ha, Ha...

Yep,

I am one of those disgruntled losers from the last election and I think this skit by Colbert is absolutely HILARIOUS!!! Too bad there are some sore winners out there that feel the need to tweet BS...

[Sculpin Beauregard]

5. they can twit all they want. It's out there forever, and should be shared!!! Extensively!

[PoorMonger]

6. I've got to catch up.

It's one of the few shows I DVR - and I'm a few weeks behind because it's on late and I often miss it. But I actually enjoy watching it with some remove to see how Colbert reacted in the moment, knowing at least in part how things played out.

[progressoid]

9. Last night's monologue was amazingly cutting.

[world wide wally]

7. That was the best rant I have ever seen on tv.

He kept adding to it for 3 segments including the introduction.
About time!

[irisblue]

8. EarlG picture of the day was on my feed a short time ago. Go Earl!

#FireTrump

[progressoid]

10. #Colbert'sOnFire.

[JHB]

20. Beat me to it. +100

[SCVDem]

11. The day after the WH Correspondents dinner,

Dump disses a CBS reporter, is caught wanting to abolish the First Amendment and called it 'Disgrace the Nation" while being interviewed for Face The Nation!

The last one pissed off Colbert who as I recall said that CBS news can't say what needs to be said, BUT! I don't work for CBS news.

Enjoy! I sure did.

[Initech]

13. Consider this payback for allowing Nugent in the White House last week.

Poor snowflakes can dish it out but they can't take it can they? And Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, O'Reilly, Nugent, and Savage have said far more vile shit about Obama than Colbert did last night.

[Leith]

21. Very True

They sure like dishing it out, but they sure can't take it.

Colbert last night was absolutely wonderful. They even had Neil deGrasse Tyson on! Colbert & Tyson are great together.

[Martin Eden]

14. Are you sure it's not Colbert is on Fire?

That would be more appropo; no?

[demosincebirth]

30. He was Monday night!

[ecstatic]

15. Wow! I have to make time for Colbert now

I love it!

[sheshe2]

16. Priceless!

[Takket]

18. wow... these guys are really desperate to manufacture a controversy where none exists

[Warpy]

19. He seems to have struck several nerves, big ones, exposed ones

inside the Dolt45 White House and among his fans.

That was such a righteous rant that he might be disciplined for it. However, Dolt's shameful treatment of the CBS reporter interviewing him should have the CBS brass giving up on "access" anyway.

The first network to come out in direct opposition to this raging asshole in the WH will clobber all other broadcast news in the ratings. They have to know that.

[Sculpin Beauregard]

32. Damn straight!!

[napi21]

22. THAT was terrific! I'm just sorry the Con probably hasn't seen it! nt

[zentrum]

23. Actually I'm worried

....about him. Not sure Network tolerates this kind of controversy. He'll probably be made to apologize which will feel terrible to him.

Send him your support. Or better yet, send it to his bosses.

[KeepItReal]

26. #KeepFiringColbert

Do not stop.

#resist

[ProfessorPlum]

45. lol. thumbs up

[Lint Head]

27. Ah da ittt bitty we-pubic-kwats kwying? Po itty bitty we-pubic_kwats.

[Sculpin Beauregard]

33. LOL

[sharedvalues]

28. "Trolls figured out how to make tags trend on Twitter" - Twitter has a serious problem

America is going to have a public reckoning about Twitter (and Facebook).

How can Twitter not have fixed their bot problem by now?

[demosincebirth]

29. His monologue was great Monday night. Never heard any late night show host call Cheeto

so many appropriate fucking names...all in three breaths

[Gothmog]

31. Trump supporters are too stupid to have a sense of humor

[Sculpin Beauregard]

34. Yup! Sense of humour requires bigly intelligence.

[L. Coyote]

37. #TrumpsTrollArmy is outsourced to an abandoned factory run by Manafort somewhere in outer Siberia.

They only hire people with partial faces and really weird names.


And, everyone forgetting the same link at the same time tells you they've been working without overtime or 40 hour a week protections.

[suffragette]

41. That is quite the pattern. Great catch.

[L. Coyote]

42. Part of an awesome moment, protestor beaten while Trump watched from the stage.

And they narrative control force turned it into Trump rushed from stage due to assassination scare! protestor was detained for hours in a men's room and by the time he could speak truth the media had moved on. Trump being rushed from the stage was a complete ruse to cover up the beating of a protestor on the rally floor, including kicking him and grabbing his genitals. Kushner was part of the fake assassination news by tweeting it. Their coordinated response was remarkable and the instantaneous deployment of troll armies to push their preferred media to the fore on Twitter made it near impossible to delve into what was really happening. It took me hours to determine what really happened. This is all on DU somewhere in the archive now though.

[suffragette]

43. Hmm - Kushner's Khoreographed Khaos. I remember the beating and the rushing of Trump

From the stage.
Didn't catch the partial faced and oddly named twitter bot brigade until you demonstrated it so clearly here.

[Gothmog]

35. This is amusing

[Tarheel_Dem]

44. They're scalp hunting in pursuit of revenge for O'Reilly. n/t

[Blue_Tires]

46. Just want to add that our "leftist" friend Glenn Greenwald is leading the charge...

Kinda funny how a supposed leftist only has vitriol for fellow leftists, isn't it?
