Boeing stock is down 10% after an in-air mishap involving the company’s 737 Max 9 aircraft, and the former president’s lawyers are struggling to convince a federal appeals court that he should be immune from prosecution for his actions while in office. #Colbert #Comedy #Monologue

​@512Squared The problem isn't the opinions or feelings of the MAGA cult, the problem is the "moderates" and "undecideds"

[@Sylfa]

Basically, to get republicans on board with adding an amendment to remove that loophole you have to make it clear that the sitting president would rather get his hands dirty, than to leave it up to chance if the next president wants to use the same power to finalise the transition away from democracy. If they immediately rectify the loophole, there won't be any need for Biden to go through with it. But if he's unwilling to even point out what rights republicans are trying to afford *him* then he's not calling their bluff.

[@512Squared]

@@ChineduOpara I rather think it's both. MAGA represents the elevation of ignorance, dishonesty and spitefulness as a political platform, while moderates and undecided more often than not play a game of false equivalences while seemingly trying to stay on the fence when in reality we must set a boundary and a standard for what is considered 'fair game' in the landscape of bitter politics. In the end though, the problem is both created and exacerbated by poor and corrupt leadership. Voters bestow only permission to govern; how leaders then govern is down to their own conscience and the people that advise them.

[@jasonwilliams1713]

Ehhh... This is unfair. When a lawyer is arguing a particular issue on appeal, he / she is required to *only* discuss the issue being appealed. In this case, that means only arguing the absolute immunity. He may well bring up other defenses at trial. For example, if someone was arrested for 1st degree murder, and filled an appral arguing that evidence was collected improperly, the lawyer would be prohibited from arguing "My client is innocent."

[@impeachy1518]

​@@jmr5125It's fair insofar as Trump's public words have repeatedly and proudly declared himself to be in defiance of the law, and his defense has argued not that there is no damning evidence against him, but that the logical interpretation of the Constitution first proscribes no punishment for presidential law breakers. So the judge has asked openly of his defense to offer actual justification of the result of their thought process. (Hint: there is none)

[@johntuel2375]

That airplane fiasco is a prime example of why we need to stop letting corporations control everything. They will cut costs whenever and wherever until you get to the point where you have everything being done by one Aussie pushing a cart (Futurama reference). They are the ones that think you can "do more with less". I'm sorry, but no, no you can not. The same amount of work still needs to be done, no matter how you try to delegate it. If you dump twice the workload on somebody, they still have to spend the same amount of time on both jobs to get them done properly. For those corporate heads, it's all chasing numbers for profits to them. Not doing quality work and taking the time to do complete check offs before sending the plane airborne. It's basically like that everywhere you look now. You can tell when a company is cutting corners when you get horrible customer service.

But they just cared about how much money they were making. It drove a lot of experienced people out too, leaving us with a bunch of kids who didn't care.

Even among Republicans there are many who do not believe Trump is a good leader and who have flipped in elections to vote against him. Trump has relied on doubling down on the MAGA base in election after election and he is not going to have the votes this time either as long as the rest of us don't get complacent.

1:20 DÜRKOMOFFEN: He didn’t even say it out loud. I love the subtle humor of “DÜRKOMOFFEN” being pronounced like “door come off / often”

Monologue never fails to entertain

Concentrating on not drinking anything while watching. Laughing to keep from crying. 😂😂😂💙

Stephen does a pretty good Gregory Peck.

[@istdochallesegal3427]

Gotta tip my hat to Stephen, with his family history, being able to do aircraft disaster humor!

[@solderbuff]

He is an accomplished, rich, popular man with three children and a gorgeous loving wife. I don't see why he would still feel so traumatized about it as not to be able to joke like this.

[@Lilpenguino1028]

​@@solderbuffidk the history OP referred to, but to your comment: trauma doesn't work that way. Having loving family members and friends helps, sure, but it's no cure for trauma.

[@bkzone8]

Yeah...

We love your show stephen colbert

[@tucci007da]

That is a fantastic Gregory Peck impression!!!!

[@BrittanyWilliams-zj3hl]

People don't realize that they can be sucked out of the plane, regardless if they have their seatbelts on. It's happened before (1988 event)

Bravo! Stephen was on fire tonight. Keep going brother, don't let up.

Great Show, here from belgium We can't believe it !.thanks a lot

Don't these lawyers care about the country at all?

[@chenzen1578]

remember the scene from a simpsons episode, where Homer runs over a lawyer and with his dying breath the lawyer says: "please ... remember me ... as a drain ... on society!" It's just a cartoon, but still, true, some folks don't have shred of decency

Wonderful Gregory Peck, Mr. Colbert. For the love of God.

[@Bluewater9]

Has late night content reached a new level of purpose. How that certain ones may be affected is surprising. Comedy truly is genuine medicine, No one can deny this. The Truth for American citizens is being revealed slowly but surely, For all to witness as relatable? Thank God and late night too.

[@jamesonpace726]

Can't take anymore, it's too real....

[@laalaa99stl]

Fun fact: Stephen always puts away any imaginary props he uses in a comedy bit. Love seeing him remember Marie Kondo's tips for folding a 737 Max catcher!

[@ascent8487]

Yeah of course. Because a place for everything and everything in its place. Real or imaginary. He’s definitely a guy who puts things back where they belong. So too for fake things.

[@datgrrl5698]

@laalaa99stl are you hearing voices again? Have you been taking your medication and seeing professional help?

[@jeffs6090]

I really miss Jon's sound effects while Stephen does that. This new guy doesn't bother, and it's a shame. Stephen even pointed towards him this time after putting away a prop, as to say, "hey, where's my sound effect?"

[@Flamenco1313]

Yesssss! He once said that his comedic training is to take the physical humor to its logical end, so much more funny that way for sure 😂

[@Tonyhouse1168]

I miss Jon :/
