Rick Gates: Confessions, Infidelity, And 'WTF'

[@midknight]

We live in strange times where we watch comedy shows for the news and news shows for comedy

[@dulynoted2427]

midknight Faux entertainment is a circus and this here is reality.

[@Greendalewitch]

midknight Im still waiting for Trump to announce a Purge night. "Go out. Do all you want. This is America. Do it. No laws."

[@christinepierce7560]

midknight 👩‍🎤 Yep 👍

[@mitchjones9342]

midknight admittedly I do watch Hannity and Carlson for humor.

[@Dear_Mr._Isaiah_Deringer]

Jack Jammen sometimes I wonder what the discussion in the house Murdoch sounds like and I remember that Murdoch owns a media empire with foreign assets. Now keep in mind that SKY is considered being (at least subliminal) right of center in every market. To put it _vividly;_ scare them deep deep down into a *FOX **_hole_* till they can't see the *SKY* no more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHrEoqt5bLmAbrc

So when Junior was confronted with questions he didn't like, he simply refused to answer or even speak, choosing to act like a petulant child. Wow. It seems the apple doesn't fall far from the orange tree.

"Allegedly" -Stephen Colbert

[@cheesecrew]

Fake Slyler That's only his quote... allegedly. Allegedly? Allegedly!

[@sofiavenegas9538]

Now is his catchphrase

[@BothHands1]

i.e. definitely

[@RozaMagnum537]

He's probably been told by CBS's legal team to say it because they're scared of a libel suit from Boss Baby-in-Chief.

[@cheeseonyomama]

I like all the inside jokes on Colbert

[@karenjohnston2844]

I love it when Stephen runs around the stage, clippity clop, clippity clop. But seriously, we are so screwed...crime is not crime, the end.

[@sonyahannah]

And I love it when he dances, or does "the thing" with his eyebrows.

[@elizdonovan1965]

Karen Johnston Kafka would love this. Hey wait! That’s it! We’ve just stepped into a Kafka book. 🌲☘️🙂

[@triciaa7259]

@@ninjabluefyre3815 from a laden swallow. Not sure if it was African or European. 😛😛 For anyone who *doesn't* know- the coconut thing was a nod to Monty Python and the Holy Grail

[@thomassby7139]

I'm so in awe of Stephen Colbert's talent. He manages - with a lot of help I'll assume - to perform a perfect stand-up every time, with so little time to prepare and rehearse. Big shout out to Jon and the band too! You guys at The Late Show REALLY Rock!

[@Christopher-td8wu]

7:43 I am concerned Giuliani felt the need to capitalize "Law School" while criticizing someone's intelligence.

That's what concerns you most about Rudy? Lol xD

[@dennisconcepcion1108]

Whenever Colbert says allegedly, I just take it as gospel truth

[@kamaurahamukti5919]

What an amazing job you, Mr Colbert & Team do, every time not only maintaining the high class level of your monologue but to even top it again and again. Bravo & thank you 👏👏👏

[@zoojudy5890]

hey hey hey - Don't blame all us oldies. At 70, I'm an old civil and women's rights activist. I and many others of this age did NOT vote for the sleazy corrupt carney. The saddest thing is there is no way to recover our democracy before I die. It will be up to you guys. Good luck.

[@nonemongo]

like he said recently, prosecuters cant be trusted either and all those confessions were brought to us by them.

[@TunTheOfficial]

George Fikri yup

[@user-ur8hl8lr7q]

ProseColored Glasses Kek, do you think police make all of their information public during an investigation? The FBI plays it's cards close during an investigation so to prevent destruction of evidence, and to prevent those being investigated from knowing how much dirt the FBI has on them. The fact the investigation is ongoing also implies that there are multiple avenues that still need to be explored.

[@vihaze6725]

"A scandal with all the nuance of Watergate, but where everyone involved is really stupid and bad at everything"

James Jumper and those Democrats need to LEAVE our Mr Donald Trump alone so he can get things DONE, he's TRYING SO HARD! Why don't they RESPECT him? We Republicans and Conservatives will ALWAYS worship him no matter what THEY say about PROVEN FACTS, all the things he does WRONG or his silly LIES that he can't stop telling US. We DON'T CARE! He told us HE WON SIX bankruptcies, let's see ANYONE else do THAT! And so what that he's a NARCISSISTIC SOCIOPATH, serial LIAR, ADULTERER who made sweet love to a PORN STAR without a CONDOM just after his WIFE BIRTHED BARON, or that he's a five time DRAFT DODGER who HATES our POW soldiers, trusts the RUSSIAN government over our OWN, discredits OUR BRAVE FBI officers, or that he's obviously not the sharpest TOOL in the shed...BUT he's OUR PRESIDENT, that's just WHO HE IS and HIS MORALS reflect OUR MORALS! The DUMB DEMORATS are just jealous of our HUGE, STABLE, ORANGE MAN GENIUS and wish they were part of OUR special RED HAT CULT! No SPECIAL KOOL-AID for them! ! Trump for 2020!!! 🇺🇸🇷🇺💕

[@StarkKarstVT]

hell yes. i'm sick of the corrupt bullshit from both sides. Republicans screwing over us for their gain, and Democrats screwing over good people running for office just because they haven't taken money help from corporations. Our country deserves better and we need to come together and fight to make sure we get better. We outnumber them and they know that so they try to divide us and smokescreen us so we'll vote for the people THEY value and who will maintain their status quo.

[@bjam89]

J T trump is a republican

[@223Drone]

Trump could say murder isn't a crime and his supporters will somehow believe it.

[@ValerieJNorse]

Yeah, but he wouldn't. He'd say that murder was an unfortunate incident due to misunderstandings on both sides -- on both sides.

[@bille9243]

BEW ....you forgot Rosie O'Donnell

[@hazukichanx408]

"These liberals, these democrats, they say murder's a crime now, I dunno. Is it a crime? Do you think it's a crime? Maybe I'm wrong, I never saw it as a crime. Maybe you have to be a little special to think it's a crime?" Or something like that. Throw in O'Reilly or Hannity calling non-specific people snowflakes and they might just buy it.

[@picketfence2028]

I love it when Colbert frolics back and forth past the camera. Remember when he was pretending to be Roy Moore riding his horse?

To be fair. Ignoring difficult questions and refusing to answer them has been a staple of the Trump presidency. Just look at all the times Trump as meandered out of the room after being asked questions without even acknowledging people.

Why Collusion? Why not Conspiracy? Why not Obstruction?

[@ccharles848]

TR Graphic I know! I always wondered how that term “collusion” is in the news’ and Trump’s vocabulary!!

[@MissHMSilk]

I reckon it’s because the word “conspiracy” is too often associated with the questionable persons/storylines created by “conspiracy theorists”.... therefor, not resting well with the general public.... so the term/synonym “collusion” was introduced instead, making it more palatable & easier to digest. “Was there any collusion with Russia, in regards to your campaign?” vs “Was there any conspiracy with Russia, in regards to your campaign?” or... “There was no collusion” vs “There was no conspiracy” Maybe..? 🤷🏻‍♀️ And the term “obstruction” has & is being used.... “obstruction of justice”.

Coach McGuirk, Yes! You gotta love that Colbert’s crew used an outtake of Meg Ryan’s most famous scene from “When Harry Met Sally”! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGGyloBsirp0pas

[@PotPoet]

Gates has already admitted to things that would normally put him away for thirty years minimum. He must rely on his deal to avoid hard time. The deal is only good if he tells the whole truth on every misdeed. If he is caught in a lie or leaving out the smallest detail, then his own confession will see him go down very hard with maximum time. Manafort's stares will not change that. Manafort will have to 'flip' on Trump or rely on a presidential pardon which will do nothing for him on his state charges that could be laid on money laundering, failure to report state-taxable earnings, bank fraud, etc. Manafort is screwed. So is Trump.
