[@shannonschultz387]

This is the worst administration this country has ever seen.

[@rogerdat45]

Shannon Schultz dont say that about obama

[@deborahdavis5136]

The most childish and embarrassing administration

[@ChandlerSomborac]

@@rogerdat45 She wasn't. She was clearly alluding to the "presidency" and Administration of Donald Joke Trump.

[@schoppepetzer9267]

Dear US, time to dismantle Lady Liberty and return it. You‘re no longer worthy of displaying such symbol of liberty, hope and prosperity.

[@MeredithAnne88]

Can we impeach this entire administration? Please?

[@seriesjunkie0074]

Meredith Anne I totally support that!

[@creativeprodigies1322]

I say it is time for a revolt.

[@darkprose]

Isn't this crisis one of those moments in history that, a century later, people will wonder what they would have done had they been us? And like so many complacent or apathetic people in history that allowed things like this to happen, won't we be judged by how we act on this today, right now? I have a nauseating feeling, and it's only grown since Trump's candidacy, that all this will end up in a museum someday, somewhere, and the humanitarian crises will be treated in an exhibit as precedents and conditions for what follows.

[@daviddelaney2407]

"Whatabout Obamaaaa??" doesn't mean Trump isn't doing it NOW. Nice extremely transparent attempt to shove the blame off on the previous administration, dear. --Dave, and we SO have not stopped talking about Russian collusion. Your brain can only process one conversation at once.

[@rogerwilco2]

Obama was not perfect, because the entire USA election system is too broken to get anything sensible done. But Obama and some of the Democrats tried. It's the Republicans that didn't want to give an inch. Remember the Gang of Eight proposal that passed the senate 68-32 and then Boehner just refused to have it voted on in the House? It would have passed and Obama would have signed it. IT is people like Boehner and McConnell and Ryan that are to blame for the current situation. But it is Trump that is now exploiting what they created and turning the USA into a military dictatorship or at least a banana republic.

[@NewMessage]

I worked at a zoo for a decade, and one of the 'PR' points we're drilled on is 'Never call a cage a cage. It's a pen, enclosure, or better yet, habitat.' If they follow this to it's logical conclusion, they'll be calling it 'Habitats for Humanity' by next week.

[@The_Mask]

This is absolutely appalling.

[@stormwatcher59]

We have a spoiled child screaming "Look what I can do if you don't give me my own way!" in charge of our country...this sucks!

[@FireRupee]

Please call your elected officials about this being not okay.

[@oindri1999]

Hey USA? How did you get from Lincoln to this?

[@albertelnen4995]

Well Lincoln was shot.

[@hcdoitsusmith8759]

Greed my friend. We enslaved the black man, slaughtered the natives, and bought the American Dream. (Which was originally) Jefferson's idea of a nation of small independent farmers stretching across the land. Capitalism changed all that. Watch the news. Wealth is the common metric for nearly every decision we make. An event is defined by its cost or profit. Grim isn't it. We should do something about it regardless of cost.

[@fluffmcmuff6801]

Anyone who can support ripping a scared child from their parents arms & than locking them in a cage is most certainly a deplorable.

[@FormlessGeometry]

Fluff McMuff U.S. immigration law defines prosecuted adults as incapable of accompanying children. This makes the children with them unaccompanied minors, who *must* be processed in a way independent of the adults. The law compels that unaccompanied minors be sent through what is basically a refugee system set up for children. The reason for this is because of law, not policy. The law doesn't specifically say "children must be separated" - duh - but to enforce immigration law against adults who shield themselves with their children NECESSITATES their separation. There is no other way to do it without "catch and release," i.e. deportation without prosecution, where the natural answer for illegal border crossings will be to bring children with you to evade prosecution. The immigration law in question was passed in 2002 and signed for by the likes of Chuck Schumer (D). I understand well the argument that today is a new day and Republicans control the legislative and executive. A fair counterargument is that too many Republican politicians, too, are deluded and confused about immigration policy- chief culprit among them being Mitch McConnell, who I think most Trump Republicans strongly dislike anyway. Donald Trump's only way of stopping these separations is to engage in the same "prosecutorial discretion" President Obama invoked with DACA, which was a blanket call for non-enforcement (or, non-prioritization, depending on your stance). In such a scenario, Trump would altogether cease enforcement of immigration laws affecting groups of children and adults who make it past the border. This is inconceivable to the majority of Americans - a cross the finish line approach to veritable amnesty. To Trump's credit, he said he will take a liberal view of the law and reunite the children in time - something the U.S. is neither authorized nor obligated to do by its own law or by international law on migration. This conundrum is far more intricate than "Drumpf has a formal policy of separating families." He is ending "catch and release," by enforcing existing law, and the only way to enforce existing law with prosecution is to process these minors separately. And no, I am not a Russian troll or a fake Trump supporter. I support Trump on 90-95% of the issues.

[@fluffmcmuff6801]

Many of the migrants are fleeing countries where Reagan's bloody drug war & numerous CIA coups left many thousands of indigenous peoples disappeared or killed. The actions of previous administrations caused much of the underlying issues that lead people to flee these countries to begin with. There is the effect. What the Trump administration is doing is violating human rights. Those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat it. Ignoring the crisis we caused won't make it go away. These are human beings, not animals to be dehumanized. The world is watching..

[@fluffmcmuff6801]

Конечно, ты не..

[@Gekayy]

Thanks for speaking in a langue he can understand without a translator!

[@tiro0oO5]

[@totalcontrol4205]

[@Mahatheyew]

Lmao, Colbert the douche makes his living off of Trump. He hangs off his every word. People are so appalled by what Trump is doing yet Colbert actually profits off making jokes about kids in cages.

[@thevine2010]

They are uncomfortable with the word "cages"? How about "concentration camps"? Not American enough? How about "internment camps" like in 1942-1945?

[@poxyclypse]

They're being sent to a resort where they can focus, a camp where they can concentrate.

[@dsmyify]

How about guantanamo bay?

[@whereisthehook]

thevine2010 How about obama did it too. Regardless, they arent citizens and I cannot afford their healthcare, can you?

[@askkedladd]

Dan Shelton : This is why I loathe Trump supporters. They're so dumb you can only just roll your eyes. This policy was started by the dems during Obama's time, but they DID NOT forced the separation of children with their parents. That's something this new administration came up with. There IS NO law that requires them to separate children with their parents, unlike what Jeff Session wants you to believe. Just look it up yourself.

[@robinpotter963]

thevine2010 Yup. Japanese Americans in California during WWII lost their homes, farms and businesses to be sent on trains and buses into the desert. Barbed wire and armed snipers. America is in big trouble. We are going where we should not go. Trump can stop it with a phone call. DACA doesn't need Congress. Trump stopped DACA with an executive order. He could restore it the same way. That Kirsten is a total idiot. She was unaware of the intelligence community report released 1/6/17: Assessment of Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent Elections. She either LIED about knowing what it said, Russia wanted to hurt Clinton and help Trump, saying she'd never heard of it. Or she's too ignorant to be in government. Homeland Security reminded me of The Fatherland when it was formed. Now we see children separated from their parents with NO clear way of how to reunite them. Deporting the parents? What are they going to do with the children? Maybe send them back too. Who knows. America has been stained with human rights abuses.

[@SFK360]

Undoubtedly important topics to hit on, but these are getting less funny and more undeniably depressing. Sad realty we live in.

[@deborahliggins5928]

YES, I COULD NOT LOOK AT HIS SHOW TONIGHT, TO DAMN DEPRESSING. I AM HURTING SO BAD FOR THOSE KIDS. TRUMPS COWARDS AND BULLIES ARE DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY. RACIST/NAZI'S

[@tedhaubrich]

Yea, at some point, there is no room for even dark humor, and even the comedians need to address the atrocities in a straight and serious manner. Clinton and cigars are funny, Bush and mispronounced words are funny, Obama and his uhhhhhhhhh's... Are funny Trump and Orange skin and porn stars is funny, if awfully gross, Trump and ripping children away from their parents and locking them up because they are seeking a better life for themselves and their families is not.

[@MrTylerden]

It is enragingly sad. Why are the children seperated from there parents? Where do the parents go? Compared to the children?

[@SFK360]

1111Pel Of course he should be talking about it, which is why I said "undoubtedly important topics to hit on." Reading comprehension apparently isn't your strong suit.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

[@Rwededyet]

I'm just waiting for them to decide that child labor laws don't apply to non-citizens.

[@MrBrew4321]

Yep, it'll happen once Trump brings Kim jung un into the state department as an advisor. And the kids will be told they can eventually purchase citizenship, what with all the dollars that are their wages.. that are being filed away in bank accounts to keep morals up, but then after their spirits are broken - just to kick them while they're down - the guards will have to tell them all the tacos they've been eating cost a days wage each and their bank accounts are all negative.

[@hypatianachshon9521]

Speaking of perfect villains, it's Stephen Miller, one of the "president"'s advisors, who is strongly pushing this vicious campaign of cruelty to children. While the Orange Clown hides behind him, whining about his "Wall" which, of course, will never happen, meantime vacuuming up YOUR hard-earned tax money for, inter alia, the arrogant, self-indulgent criminal Pruitt.

[@asiifmj4550]

Love the part "I'm just kidding".

[@gusstavv]

I was expecting Satan to squish that last guy... damn you Colbert, why didn't you do it!!

[@saramuhumphries5197]

Thanks for sharing

[@SomeGuyNamedKeith]

I really wish our PM condemned Trump for this. But all Justin said was we will not play politics with this issue and we will lead by example. But I think we really should speak out. I'll need to write him about that.

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

SomeGuyNamedKeith Well, given Canada has tons of asylum seekers still not repatriated, he may worry about exposure himself??

[@SomeGuyNamedKeith]

Phoenix Chastaine Good point... Ill need to put pressure on that too. Lol

[@bradleyvaughn2253]

Stephen, you are brilliant.

[@nitaparker2042]

Thank you for calling it out Stephen. Heroism in humor. Love your humor.

[@ProjUltraZ]

your writers are just awesome

[@DylanJamesCabo]

Stephen reading Trump's tweets makes my day every day 🤣

[@rgwak]

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that t'rump wanted the Pentagon to create a military Space Force? I guess he really does want to get tough on aliens! I'll show myself the door now.

[@JanLandy]

I am glad to know that you found some humor in this crisis. You are my favorite.

[@DrumWild]

Their suggestion that they're forced to follow the law will shortly be followed up with "we're just following orders." Darker times are just ahead.

[@tinaking3881]

Prom photo!! Hahahaha

[@vdiitd]

Real version of TrumCare right there.

[@theycallmejodamo]

Based on Trump's tweets, I'm wondering if he's had a stroke... Wouldn't that constitute him as unfit to lead? I mean... Moreso than he already fails to be...

[@ArtWithSR]

Can we get Tom Ellis from Lucifer to go full Lucifer here? Now THAT would be pure perfection haha

[@charlieevergreen3514]

At least the graphic is Tim Curry’s Devil “Darkness” from the movie Legend, one of the best actual Satans in my opinion! :)

[@hyenapunkmohawk]

Everyday I wake up and realize that lord Pepe is the president of America. Feels like it should be some sort of joke but nothings funnier than cruel reality

[@visoredgruntR34]

Well I guess WWE will have to change the name of the "Cage Matches" since a four wall chain fences is no longer a "cage"

[@katedurand2369]

[@darter9000]

Pen matches don’t quite have the same ring...

[@bethgramkow7865]

Every time I we read a Twitter from Donald Trump I hear Colbert's voice

[@daveswampSC]

You nailed it! Especially that Lucifer impersonation.

[@karenjohnston2844]

I wish I could give Colbert 1000 thumbs up!

[@JazzyJeffRealTalk]

Stephen has the best trump impression, sounds just like him

[@npage.]

What I like best is the good nature of this humor

[@b.parker1740]

I love how Kirtjen gave her little spiel about families with a fasces behind her. It's like reality is becoming cinematic (or at least self-aware).

[@franciet99]

“I’m just kidding.”

[@u2katrina568]

I want to laugh at Stephen's jokes, but this shit is just heart wrenching.

[@drt-abrat1256]

Colbert, you never fail to brighten my day!

[@lyrachle]

"that's his prom photo" still laughing, while tears start up again because of the news clips

[@zakleclaire1858]

And suddenly an acid trip

[@stormwatcher59]

Too bad that is not all this is....

[@sebastianelytron8450]

"The Democrats... ...go for it! WIN!" They will win alright, don't you worry.

[@flyte707]

Sebastian Elytron trump will bring about the end of the Republican party

[@Roonasaur]

Y'all do remember, oh, 6 or 8-10 years ago when the Daily Show would routinely predict the imminent demise of the Republican party, right? And the Colbear would come on right after and sarcastically proclaim their strength, from now 'till the end of time . . . ? You remember that, right? And now, look what's happening. **too smug**

[@dee.f88]

BartJ583 you're right, we do have racism, mainly from the democrats and liberal race baiters who claim they're so opressed.

[@lilsammich8252]

Has stable genious written all over it.

[@deborahliggins5928]

I HOPE SO.

[@kombinatsiya6000]

the devil's advocate - is this the beginning of a great segment?!

[@redstonecasey4713]

Kombinatsiya I need more of this.

[@marynoellias9256]

Omg what would I do without laughter!? With that being said, it is very sad what is happening to these children 😮

[@louisechacon9836]

Lead? The other thing Trump leads is the way to a golf course.

[@justsaying1818]

As well as McDonalds.

[@louisechacon9836]

I hear even Ronald McDonald is asking "Who is this clown?"

[@jcdc1824]

I would not try to get between Trump and the buffet table, either.

[@brizyinpink]

Is there any country out there willing to adopt a disturbing, disorderly, out-of-line, out-of-order, troublemaking orange toddler who hasn't been potty trained yet? *Serious inquiries only.*

[@cisco8650]

Brizyinpink 15 I know of no country that would take him in this era (maybe Germany, around 1933), but plenty of zoos that might take him.

[@elvirawalker2269]

North Korea's jong and putin are ready for him.

[@Phaedrus-th7bi]

This is how Dictatorships emerge.

[@DeA2875]

I needed the humor here. I've been very emotional.
