Trump Openly Insults Black Americans By Scheduling MAGA Rally On Juneteenth In Tulsa, OK

It's difficult not to suspect race-baiting in the Trump campaign's choice of date and location for the President's return to in-person campaign rallies.




Meanwhile... The 24-Hour Meat Machine Isn't Just A Place To Buy Meat

1. He's a great voice for Dems. So is Kimmel and Seth

Love them all

[Rhiannon12866]

3. He's also had more political guests lately, most of them have, actually.

Though I think Colbert would be happy with all political guests, he is terrific at keeping up with all the issues and loves discussing them!

[amuse bouche]

4. The Colbert Show was super political. I was a big fan

He tries to do more of a variety show but trump makes that impossible

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Yes, politics are his greatest interest

Though he is now "himself," as he's said, rather than the character he played. But he still keeps up with the latest issues, I remember once there was breaking news while he was taping his monologue (I think it was Trump meeting with Kim Jong-Un) so he did away with his prepared script and ad libbed the rest. It's possible to keep up with the day's news just by watching the late night shows!

2. For once the odds are stacked against the house. Apparently, they plan to trim the herd while they

thin it, too. I guess the news about New Zealand was considered as mere gossip in Nevada..

Does no one read their insurance policies regarding risky behavior?
