18. This is about silencing not only Colbert, but all the comedians.

They find a way to hurt one, they'll get creative to hurt them all.

Comedy and satire is effective. Donald Trump, his grifting family, his staff & cronies, the GOP, and even their voters offer an overflowing array of humor. Hell, the comedians don't even have to work very hard. Reality these days practically writes its own humor.

They've been fighting against the media, now they're going after Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel, and we can't forget SNL, either. Who knows what or who will be next. Maybe you and I.

I refuse to let Trump & his surrogates win. I stand with the media, Colbert, & anyone willingly, & sometimes, bravely, against those who want to take the power out of truth-telling!
