3. Sean sounds like his dad

4. That's why I just had to add this

I know it's not political, but I thought he was really good - and reminded me of his Dad..

6. That was great!

What a disaster though! How much longer do we have to put up with this shit-show of a presidency. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so terrifying. Thank god for the late night comedians speaking truth to power. I think they are the only ones keeping us sane!

[Rhiannon12866]

7. I really don't get it, either!

It's gotten more than ridiculous - the man lies, he cheats, he wants to destroy the environment and roll back safety standards, he's abandoned our allies, he chooses to support his corrupt cronies and murdering dictators over the American people - and he's an international embarrassment!!!

BTW, Colbert is all about the latest political news - he's got Andrew McCabe on tonight
