Actually, it’s been quite well documented that the laye night shows are not the profit engine they used to be, and Colbert’s show might have been legit losing money. Its hard to find hard data on this, particularly after it all got so politicized. But I did find this, which shows that late night ad revenue is much lower than it has been 10 years ago

People simply aren’t as likely to wait and watch a thing live when you can always stream it after the fact

• Bill Clinton
• William Jefferson Clinton
• William J. Clinton
• Bubba
• Slick Willie
• Mr. Hillary Clinton

I’m sure they can find 14 other ways to redact his name over what is already there

But everything I’ve seen has just been that he did nothing remotely wrong, and the people who are conspiring against him are simply lying.

What he did “wrong” is call the lie out in public. It’s that simple.

It would be so funny if they drew fewer people in Vegas than they did in Oakland. Funnier still if the new stadium never gets finished and they have to move permanently to Sacramento. Maybe attendance there will improve if they actually admit they play there.

Very telling that the linked article doesn’t even go into details as to what Omar said that is so bad

Mace has said Omar, an immigrant who criticized Kirk’s views of gun ownership and race relations in the aftermath of George Floyd’s 2020 death in Minneapolis, should be deported to Somalia. Omar was born in Somalia and became a U.S. citizen in 2000.

This goes into more detail:

But the text of Mace’s resolution did not quote any of Omar’s own words. Instead, it quoted extensively from a video that Omar re-posted on social media.

That video said Kirk “took complex socioeconomic issues and simplified them by pointing fingers at out-groups, demonizing those groups, and siccing his massive following on them,” calling him a “stochastic terrorist” and an “adamant transphobe.” It adds that Kirk, whose suspected killer has been described as left-wing by government officials, “was Dr. Frankenstein and his monster shot him through the neck.”

So, all Omar did was link to a video that was critical of Saint Charlie the Loquacious.

It is fitting that the only thing that forced the vote to fail in the House was a promise to censure a Republican who looks like he deserves it a lot more:

Indeed, Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) appeared to respond to Mace’s move by bringing a resolution to censure Mills over allegations of domestic violence, threatening to release nude videos of an ex-girlfriend, and making false financial disclosures. A similar censure of Mills, who has denied those allegations, was abandoned after Republicans similarly voted to table a resolution to censure Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.), who faces charges resulting from a clash with officials at an immigrant detention center.

No, not yet. He is abusing the DoJ, but he is still bring forced to go through the courts. The tipping point is when he has ICE just go and take it.

I think it only seemed weird because every media outlet is bending over backwards to not refer to her as “her” or “him”. It’s “the roommate” all the way through

Get a MAGA tattoo on your little finger

Wear a MAGA diaper on your bum

That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it

You play the martyr on the Fox TV

That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it

Tariffs for nothin, no more sales for me

For all the demonization of trans people that the administration and Governor is doing, the actual investigators and local sheriffs seem to be going out of their way to protect the roommate/partner. Yes, she may be transitioning, but the investigators are definitely portraying her as cooperative and as providing key evidence that will be used in the trial. (Even as the news stories are going out of their way to not use any pronouns at all). Imagine how difficult that was for her.

I know seedier parts of the Internet will doxx her (if they havent already), hopefully the local sheriff will provide some protection to her in exchange for doing the right thing

Um, it was in the article, at least in the words of his mom

Robinson’s mother told investigators that in the last year, her son had “become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented,” Gray said.

Now, these days, simply having empathy can be considered to be “leaning to the left”…

Trump’s DC crime surge

Probably the most accurate headline I’ve read in a while

I skipped over the word “Kirk’s” in the title and it made a lot more sense

Exactly what Jesus would have done.

That would be former NYC mayor Ed Koch

He finally has enough liquid cash from crypto that he can pay off all the Russian loans. But I don’t think he realizes that you are never really an “ex”-Russian Asset. Oh, and he should probably stay away from tea for a while…

Schumer is going to step aside and leave things wide open for AOC to run for his seat, as long as she explicitly opts out of running for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Gavin is the Next One Up, after all…

She also desperately wants Mandami to win the Mayoral election because if he is unemployed in 2026 he might go after her job

No, but if the dollar tanks then crypto arbitrage bots will make sure the value of the dollar vs. crypto tanks along with it. People invested in crypto (but who live in dollars) get a big win at the expense of everyone else.
