Depending on who you ask, Donald Trump either 'led' or 'was there for' a bipartisan conversation on gun reform.

2. He's got voices for both Trump and Sessions

When I was watching earlier, I was wondering if he actually sounded like Trump or if we've just come to recognize his "Trump voice," LOL. In any case, he's been just brilliant on all this and I have to give his writers a lot of credit, too - it's got to be a lot of pressure to keep up to speed on the very latest Trumpian scandal!

And I've always been a "night person," was fortunate to work nights for a lot of years. I got paid a bit more for it, but they couldn't pay me enough to become a "morning person..."

3. The entire thing was first rate last night.

However...I am not sure why Omarosa was there. She said nothing. Is she scared to speak up? Has she made a non-disclosure deal?

4. I was confused, too. She wasn't even listed as a guest when I looked to see who was on.

I'm guessing she was on because they're big on keeping up with whatever's the latest news, like when he had "The Mooch" on the week he was fired. I didn't think she was all that interesting and figured she wouldn't be popular here. Here's the interview if anyone's interested:

The Omarosa Interview: Full, Uncut Version

Watch Colbert's full interview with former White House aide Omarosa talks Hope Hicks' resignation, Jared Kushner's security clearance, and a lot more.

No. "Ivanred." Think about it!

7. You are of course correct. n/t

6. I lost track to how many zingers were in there. lol
