Hey, hey! I want to pick a fight with a guy with a way larger audience and platform than me! All because I got in trouble for pushing an absurd conspiracy theory pissed off the family of the victim! So it must be Colbert's fault!

Also picking a fight with a professional political comedian. Probably the best one at his genre, too.

I like how hate speech is perfectly acceptable under Trump but gently caress no not journalism. Up next: anything but Christianity.

Grrrr, Capital One! If you stop advertising on my show I will go after Proctor & Gamble for advertising on Colbert! Then you'll see!

If anything wouldn't acting unhinged like that encourage more advertisers to drop Hannity.

I swear it's like the National Lampoon cover that where a guy holds a gun to a puppies head with the caption "Buy this magazine or the puppy gets it." except it's not satirical.

Tilted my head to the side trying to understand this. Nope. Got nothing.

I assume he's comparing his situation to that time Colbert made a sex joke about Donald Trump. Because that's the same as spreading a crazy rear end conspiracy theory that pisses off the victim's family, is retracted by your network, and is only supported by a fugitive hacker who claims he has secret evidence he can't show you. But a different fugitive hacker than the one Hannity usually gets his conspiracies from.

So "if you liberals try to take me down I'll take Colbert down!"

Which is another funny aspect of this. Like liberals en masse will become terrified that they could lose Colbert. Sean Hannity's mind is a really curious thing.

My hang up is what the hell does Hannity think he'll even get out of this, I mean, does he expect Colbert to do anything except laugh at him on his own show? Like, it took Colbert a year to troll Cheeto Benito into namedropping him and as far as I know he hasn't even really done anything remotely related to Hannity and he's trying to get into a slap fight with him.

I don't know how you got the idea that I was defending the Klan from saying I'm glad when they get hurt. It's almost like you're predisposed to viewing anyone who doesn't 100% agree with you as an enemy. Can't imagine why anyone would be suspicious of your call to violence.

Actually, she got the idea you were defending the Klan by insisting that violence against them necessarily justifies violence against other groups, which does, in fact, defend the Klan.

He sincerely believes he has the power and moral righteousness to bring Colbert down for his totally out of line and worse crime. Like, he couldn't help keep his boss employed at his own network and was silenced by his network last week but he really and truly believes he need only speak up about Colbert's crimes and the truth shall win out. And then not only will justice be its own reward but all of Sean's enemies will know his strength.

It'll be harder to get Sessions because the FBI said it was okay to leave off meetings with dignitaries in his capacity as Senator when he filled out his security clearance. Obviously they were campaign meetings but that probably gives him enough wiggle room on any charges.

That'd only let him wiggle out of charges related to not disclosing those meetings. If he did illegal things in said meetings that's another matter entirely.


Not that it matters. Sessions is not getting ousted by a GOP held House and Senate. None of them are. Unless the Dems have a majority in both chambers and the GOP has openly turned against Trump nothing is going to happen to any of them.
