Colbert Wants to Get Fired

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 7/25/2025 8:29:49 AM

Colbert and his allies in the Pravda Media/entertainment complex--along with Democrats--are insisting that the former funnyman was fired at the behest of President Trump. The accusation is absurd. You can't lose tens of millions of dollars a year and expect to keep your $15 million a year job. The math doesn't work. But, as we know, propaganda works with people who want to believe it. All you need is an authoritative voice to say the most absurd things, and people inclined to believe it, will. Even many who do not start out believing it come to do so, based on the "when there is smoke, there's fire principle.

His show is a perfect example of how liberals view spending other peoples' money; His show as an oversized budget with a large staff, and with ColberT receiving a eight figure annual salary. The advertising revenue is less than the show's expenses by 40 to 50 million dollars per year. The network would be financially better off renting the airtime to an info-mercial with no expenses making the revenues all profit, or showing classic re-runs [Gilliagan's Island or I Love Lucy] which would have minimal expenses in royalties and probaby higher ratings. Yet, ColberT acts as if he is entitled to indefinitely continue a show that loses the Network $40 to $50 million per year, and it is somehow all the Network's fault and they are in the wrong. He has not offered to lower expenses or take a smaller salary or address the losses. He just expects the Network to keep losing a fortune every year because he considers his ''work'' to be so important. Results be damned.

When most employers fire somebody, they send security to stand by their side while they clean out their desk and then walk them to the exit. Letting Colbert finish out his contract till next year seems awfully stupid considering he has an electronic pulpit to whine from. Indeed, maybe he is hoping to be more immediately terminated and then get paid for doing nothing at all.

I don't disagree with the points in the article. Colbert will make out financially no matter what happens. He may continue his rants on a podcast. However, liberals are about ego even more than money. Making good money on a podcast has nowhere near the status of being the star of The Late Show on CBS. He will not be quoted in news stories so much for a podcast rant because being edgy is standard fare for a podcast. So his star is falling, even if he is still getting paid. And, over time, it is likely that people will get bored with him and he will fade away. In his well financed retirement he can gnaw old bones and hate Trump for getting him fired, a common delusion of obsessed liberals that have TDS.

Jess Watters had his guy Johnny interview people who were in line for the Colbert show. Most of them seemed older and were normal looking. I couldn't believe how all of them thought Colbert was funny, and they loved his show. Barf!

The press briefing at the James Brady room of the White House Wednesday was a real banger. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, methodically walked through the House Majority Intelligence Report on the shenanigans we all had speculated about for the past eight-plus years and privately knew deep down. Gabbard had the receipts, and it wasn't pretty. For a little over ten minutes after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt turned over the podium to the DNI, Gabbard detailed involvement of former President Barack Obama, disturbing information about the health, or lack thereof, of former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton,

Now that investigations into the autopen presidency are underway, left-leaning media and Democratic politicians are finally confronted with the truth that was right in front of our faces for years: Joe Biden was not running the country, and America was being led by an unelected, unaccountable polit-bureau. Every week we learn more that makes the long national nightmare we endured even worse. Now, thanks to the New York Times, of all places, we learn that Joe Biden couldn’t even manage the task of signing his own name on pardons of violent and dangerous criminals, and at best, only knew of categories of those being pardoned. President Biden was forced to bow out

PARAMOUNT, Calif. - A Compton man who allegedly threw concrete blocks at federal officers in Paramount in June was taken into custody Wednesday morning at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. What we know: Elpidio Reyna, 39, of Compton, was arrested at the San Ysidro Port of Entry by FBI agents, with assistance from U.S. Customs & Border Protection.

The Democrat party’s caterwauling over illegal alien roundups becomes only more shrill by the day. Last week, California politicians were very upset that federal agents had the temerity to disrupt the workings of a marijuana farm exploiting children for its labor. It’s always a bit jarring to see what card-carrying members of the Democrats’ premier virtue-signaling club will find worthy of their righteous indignation. Many rational observers couldn’t have guessed that Democrats would pull out all the stops to shill for “child slavery.” Of course, there was also a time when rational observers could never have guessed that Democrats would

There's a meme that resurfaces on social media from time to time. It says, "If a Democrat from the 1960s were to appear today, he'd be considered a conservative. If a Democrat from today were to be transported to the 1960s, he'd be considered a dangerous lunatic." Truer words were never spoken. Once upon a time the Democrat party defended blue-collar workers, the poor, and the middle class. Not that long ago BJ Clinton and Hussein Obama spoke about the necessity of securing the border. And very recently a rallying cry on the Left was, "No one is above the law." Times have changed. Quinnipiac now tells

California Gov. Gavin Newsom claimed that he did not want to bulldoze the remains of burned-down Palisades houses and replace them with low-income housing. But that is apparently exactly what he’s doing now, with the help of the California legislature—and Donald Trump’s special missions envoy is furious. Richard Grenell accused Newsom of lying about his fire recovery goals. Newsom had scoffed, “The claim that the Governor wants to bulldoze fire victims’ neighborhoods and replace them with ‘affordable housing’ is absurd.” But he just announced over $100 million for building low-income housing in the area of the Palisades and other burned areas, as a bill moves through the California

America is in crisis, with the left battling the ascendant right, a clash of visions between a socialist nightmare in which America becomes either a feudal, feral combination of California and a communist college campus or we re-make it into something like the glorious, golden country it once was. How does all this end? Leftists in America— and the Democrats are a leftist party that is eagerly embracing admitted communists— seem to be under the impression that normal patriotic Americans have no right to engage in their own self-governance. That’s unsustainable. We’re not giving up our self-determination. The question is whether America resolves this peacefully,

The X post included a graph of soaring cheese, alcohol, dairy, grocery, produce and meat prices dating back to October 2019, with the major inflection point being near the start of the Biden administration in 2021. “Trump’s America,” read the tweet shared by @TheDemocrats. “Prices are higher today than they were on July 2024 all in major categories listed below,” read the caption on the graphic, which did not note the source of the data.

It's striking how similar NPR's situation is to that of Planned Parenthood. Both organizations have an affiliate model and both just had a lot of federal money cut from their budgets. That means both are now hoping to find new sources of funding to keep the doors open. The NY Times reports there has been an increase in donations to PBS and NPR but so far the amount isn't nearly enough to offset the cuts. Over the last three months, as the prospect of the cuts intensified, roughly 120,000 new donors have contributed an estimated $20 million in annual value,

Six months into Donald Trump’s second presidency, the political tea leaves are muddled. Voters disapprove of the job he is doing, dislike his new budget law, and doubt his dealings with Iran are making the U.S. safer. At the same time, ratings of the economy show signs of improvement, feelings on the direction of the country are inching upward, and the president’s job approval ratings are holding steady, according to a new Fox News national survey. Thirty-two percent of voters rate economic conditions positively. That’s the highest number, by one percentage point, in about a year. On a personal level, 44% rate their financial situation positively, up from

Former President Joe Biden has reportedly sold his presidential memoirs. According to the Wall Street Journal, Biden sold the book to Hachette Book Group, with Little, Brown and Company set to publish it. Biden is reportedly getting $10 million for the book. While a $10 million advance might sound impressive at first glance, it’s actually a paltry payday compared to what other presidents have commanded for their memoirs. In 2017, Penguin Random House shelled out a jaw-dropping $60 million for the combined book rights of Barack and Michelle Obama. Bill Clinton landed $15 million for his 2004 memoir “My Life,”

I suspected that this was the case, and even said so in a recent radio interview. But I have been very reluctant to write about it because I am not a lawyer, so I can only use my common sense and layman's understanding of the law in what must be a very, very complex question. But Trump, who certainly has access to excellent legal advice, has just said that Obama has immunity from prosecution for any crimes he may have committed in conspiring to use falsified intelligence to undermine Trump's presidency, set up a phony impeachment, and perhaps put Trump in jail.
