>I am not crazy! I know he swapped those scoops. I knew it was 32 flavors. One after Basskin Robins. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the ice cream shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That soft serve! Are you telling me that a McDonald's ice cream machine just happens to break like that? No! He orchestrated it! Donny! He defecated in the rocky road! And I saved him! And I shouldn’t have. I invited him onto my own show! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was on the escalator, always the same! Couldn’t keep his scoop out of the ice cream! But not our Donny! Couldn’t be precious Donny! Scooping them blind! And HE gets to be a president? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! …And you, you have to stop him!

my girlfriend is on instagram all day and she parroted some influencer's opinion that this was censorship and the death of free speech, etc. I had to explain that no, the Trump administration did not cancel Colbert's show, that he was tanking in the ratings, and CBS were the ones that gave the order to let him go. It's not like the government came in and shut him down.

She didn't know about their merger or the fact that they needed FCC approval, or the fact that CBS had just settled a defamation lawsuit with Trump. Like if I worked for a company and they got sued for defamation, and I kept on defaming the same guy publicly, they would have a right to terminate me as an employee so they don't get sued again.

Honestly CBS must have been so happy when Colbert immediately started talking shit right after the lawsuit because it gave them an excuse to drop a show that was losing money.

>WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE JUST STANDING THERE?
>DON'T YOU SEE WHAT HE'S DOING?
>THIS IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY... TO... TO FREE SPEECH!
>YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LET HIM TAKE MY SHOW LIKE THIS?
>STOP LAUGHING, IT'S... IT'S NOT FUNNY!
