1. Wish we had a way to use dumpie's obsession with ruining people's

lives who dared to say something negative about him while reporting the news. Even sends the DOJ
after people he hates.

3. Looks like some Republicans are turning against him for rewarding Jan6th insurrectionists

How this could possibly be happening in the United States of America is something none of us envisioned...

2. You fire the guy; he does his last show, and Now you're complaining he shows up on Public Acess?!!

Oh...just STFU!
(They did... but they never should have started up with it! )

5. They weren't complaining about it being on public access. They were trying to limit it being streamed

on sites that weren't licensed to stream it. They had no problem with it being streamed on Colbert's new youtube channel or on the Monroe County youtube channel or on the Late Show youtube channel.

6. Oh...ok. ty for clearing up my misunderstanding

7. I should have added that while invoking the DMCA wasn't frivolous, it was poor judgment

and that is why they realized they needed to back down and let other youtube channels offer the episode.

4. He should have a nighttime talk show on PBS

Since they no longer rely on government funds and he could do a tell all show with guests.
