So how's that voting democrat working out for you. I worked 40 years and retired and was barely making it now I'm broke. My credit cards are maxed out and I fear for a roof over my head. I would like to thank you and every other democratic voter for putting me in this situation. I could have worked at McDonald's my entire life. And be better off than I am right now. And it's all thanks to the feeble. Weak minded democrat voter that cannot see through the Lies that the Democrats are ruining the country with. So why don't you tell me and everyone else Reading on the site why you voted democrat? And then explain how it's working out. I'll tell you how it's working out. Donald trump was right about everything and the democrats have been one hundred percent wrong about everything as usual. A certain feeble minded weak people can't see through it and are easily guided. These are the same people that sign up for all the extra c*** at the car dealership. Because they can't tell that they're being taken to the cleaners. So we are all on the edge of our seats. Waiting for your reply again, explain to us the fantastic job the democrats are doing and exactly why you're going to vote for them In 2024

I recall a story of some researchers who went to Chernobyl for studies. They had their Geiger counters, tools samples and left as it was nearing the end of the “safe” amount of time to be there. But, to their consternation, even as they left the area, their counters continued to tick away. The problem was that they had stayed so long that their vehicles had absorbed some of the radiation (though it would wear off). Not only have those soldiers likely inhaled or absorbed radioactive particles through their skin as they dug those trenches and slept on the disturbed soil, their large metal tanks have absorbed some of that radiation, radioactive dust has coated their equipment and is in need of a thorough decontamination that I’m not sure their leaders will care about. And honestly, I wouldn’t put it past Russian leaders to take those soldiers and put them with other groups who will watch as the radiation poisoning takes its toll on them. Imagine going to war and watching as the new guy begins wasting away, vomiting and his hair falling out. Even if there’s no real danger to the other soldiers, morale is gonna take yet another hit as the very land places a devil’s curse upon them.

@Candice Lynn I hope your world gets better. ❤

Mine is Seth Meyers mostly. Cant handle the news anymore without a few dick and fart jokes to make it all seem brighter

That Chernobyl souvenir is gonna keep you real warm next winter. It also makes a great night light. Ewwww, glowy.

[@ChristmasJourney]

The …is potato joke gets me every time 😂😂😂

[@m8hackr60]

Calling him Mehmet Oz upsets him... So you all know what to do. Worst of luck, Mehmet!

[@alansmitheejr.]

Those souvenirs from Chernobyl can save you money on energy bills, they all light up a glowing red in the dark.

[@TreyCapnerhurst]

Can we get that awesome "Is Potato" beauty to be a regular feature? She is a delight!

[@annemarie1507]

Republican voters reaction to being played like fools: Fool me once, shame on whoever told me I've been fooled. Fool me twice, shame on reality. Fool me three times, you get my vote!

[@xisthebestt]

Facts

[@aratosm]

#BLM. Black lives matter. But only when a violent felon due to their own actions is shot by police. Also, only when there is opportunity to make money. Also, only when it's election year. BLM supports the black community by buying themselves expensive houses. Charity having to report how it spends its money is racist.

[@FXSHOOTER]

So who's the fool now......... Donald trump was right about everything except its worse . So why don't you explain to people like me who worked 40 years And how now have lost everything because of the democrat is fabulous . We are all waiting on the edge Of our seats to hear the reasons why you are going to vote democrat in 2024. 80 million people brainwashed by the media and the democrats voted for a senile old man who was obviously completely and totally incapable of the job. Put him in power. He immediately reversed everything that donald trump had in place that was working. And now we have the worldwide catastrophes that we have war crime. Open borders inflation skyrocketing fuel and energy prices. So why don't you explain to all the people here? We're sitting on the edge of our seats. How voting democrat is a good idea........ We are waiting.....

[@FXSHOOTER]

And we would like to have you recite that. Fool me once fool me twice thing you were talking about?????? You and eighty million other liberal fools got brainwashed. And sadly enough will try to finish off the country by voting Democrat again in 2024 So when did you explain to all the people here? How what's going for the country we'd love to hear it

[@FXSHOOTER]

We are waiting.........

[@christopherfiore960]

Wow man, writers not pulling Any punches! Kudos Stephen and staff.

[@jcoopes5604]

Comics are vicious, quick witted and tired of the sh!t that is going on also! And I’m here for it! We cannot let them get control! Let’s vote 🗳 those f@ckers out!

[@mgebi1]

Isn't it nice to laugh and have so much despair turned to laughter. I love that he doesn't mention the crazy mans name. He gives us such a break from all the BS. Thanks to Stephen for giving us relief at the end of some long tough day's. I am greatful for his entertaining words. 👍☮️✌️😁🕊️

[@sassysarina9718]

Me too...🙂

[@anneheimburger3186]

Yes

[@sunnydaze2359]

He is a treasure. He actually kept me sane during the pandemic when he was doing his monologues from home . I was almost sorry when he had to go back to having an audience.

[@mgebi1]

@@sunnydaze2359 I agree!!! 😷🥴😁. How much of a healer, helper, laughter is. And he's damn good at it. I've grown to like Jimmy Kimmel more over the pandemic as well. They somehow bring laughter through the tragedy that surrounds us. Being able to laugh in today's world is a gift. 🤣🤣😜

[@FXSHOOTER]

So how them democrats working out for you.......

[@kairimarshall2259]

[@amberknepper5877]

[@justinlaite5542]

I love that Colbert kept the Letterman tradition of inside audience jokes.

[@derekleonidas7664]

Thanks Stephen for bringing joy to our miserable daily life.

[@betteswan9431]

Not even remotely funny.?exploitation of the souls lost is abhorant.

[@Misses-Hippy]

I heard a testimonial of a person who just escaped Mariupol. She was trapped in her basement with her mother and another relative for a month. Each allowed themselves to drink one cup of water per day. They were starving.

[@majorbogart3476]

Trump opens for Kid Rock, on a Wednesday... Says soooo much about both their careers...

[@OphiuchiChannel]

And cmon at least KISS are funny. + True fact: last week the GOP claimed "We're not gonna take it" by Twister Sisters is an ode to conservative America...
