A Chilling Portrait Of T****'s Attempt To Steal The Election By Weaponizing The DOJ

Today the Jan. 6th Committee painted a chilling and criminally insane portrait of the former president's attempt to steal the election by weaponizing the Department of Justice.

Thanks to today's Jan. 6th Committee hearing, we now know the list of Republican members of Congress who begged the former president for pardons.

1. Kinzinger calls (sh)it like he sees it!

In the first clip, Colbert introduces the next -- possibly historic -- statement: "Kinzinger summed up how ridiculous the former president's conspiracy theories were."

At 9:22, the distinguished representative from Illinois says "This is one of the best examples of the lengths to which the pres..., president *****, would go to stay in power. Scouring the Internet to support his 'conspiracy sh... theories' shown here."

Judging from the reaction from some audience members, I'd say he had it right the first time.



As always, thanks!

3. Well, we know how closely Stephen follows politics

And the audience was definitely in his corner! And I did catch Kinzinger's almost slip! Not to mention, this was one of my favorite "nicknames," Scammy Doofus Jr.! That did make me laugh! If you remember, he doesn't want to use TFG's name so asked viewers to send in nicknames and some are awfully good! This was a really good show! Glad you liked it, too!

4. Thank you Rhiannon for all you post

I get up every morning looking for your vid posts. And a special thank you for typing T***** instead of his awful name.

5. Awww! Thanks so much...

And I think I've been posting Colbert's monologue (and Openings!) since 2017 - since he keeps up with politics, is as funny as they come, and I know that a lot of DUers don't stay up as late as I do.

As for the T**** name, that's Colbert, not me. He announced ages ago that he would not use the name, but invited viewers to send in "nicknames" that he could use instead - if he was forced to mention him. And some of these are priceless, the one he used last night (Scammy Doofus Jr.) made me laugh. Here's a sampling:

10. The more we hear, the more foolish and incompetent (and guilty!) he's proven to be!

And yet there are STILL people willing to vote for him?! Including some who testified against him! (Rusty Bowers)

9. Thanks!

I've stayed up to post his monologue - and any political guests - since 2017. It's part of my service to DU.
