Colbert Mocks Trump-Appointed Judge Who Ended Mask Mandate

wanted to have Black Lives Matter protesters shot. Or how, according to Esper, Trump wanted to attempt a false flag missile attack on Cartels in Mexico.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorNo one, except maybe Donald Trump and his inner circle, expected the ex-president’s legal challenge to Twitter’s permanent ban on him — on First Amendment grounds — to succeed. But now a federal judge has officially dismissed the suit.Trump, joined by the American Conservative Union and five individuals, sued Twitter (and then-CEO Jack Dorsey) in July 2021 in a class-action lawsuit claiming they were “censored” by the service — in Trump’s case, through Twitter’s ban.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorDevin Nunes, the former congressman who is now CEO of Donald Trump’s social-media rival to Twitter, claimed that his new boss “encouraged” tech mogul Elon Musk to acquire Twitter, to “take on these tech tyrants.”Musk says that’s false.“I’ve had no communication, directly or indirectly, with Trump, who has publicly stated that he will be exclusively on Truth Social,” Musk tweeted Friday, replying to a New York Post article about Nunes’ claims.In an appearance Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co,” Nunes said, “President Trump, basically before Elon Musk bought it, actually said to go and buy it because the goal of our company is really to build a community where people are in a family-friendly, safe environment.” Nunes added, “we encouraged Elon Musk to buy” Twitter, because “someone has to take on these tech tyrants… Donald Trump wanted to make sure that the American people got their voice back and that the internet was open and that’s what we are doing.” Nunes, who is CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group, once sued Twitter, seeking $250 million in damages, alleging in part he was defamed by anonymous parody accounts “Devin Nunes’ Mom” and “Devin Nunes’ Cow.” A judge threw out the case.Musk has said he’s primarily interested in protecting “free speech” on Twitter, and he has criticized the company for allegedly having a left-leaning political bias. That stance has led right-wingers — who have long alleged Twitter (and other internet platforms) somehow stifle conservative viewpoints — to champion Musk’s $44 billion bid for Twitter.Twitter permanently banned Trump shortly after the Jan.

Stephen Colbert, who returned to “The Late Show” this week after recovering from COVID, had a bone to pick with the virus during his opening monologue Wednesday night.After tackling the Republican response to the leak of the Supreme Court majority opinion draft set to overturn Roe v. Wade and retract abortion rights across the U.S., Colbert turned to the recent increase in COVID cases across several states.“Over in pandemic land, COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are rising again in the United States.

the news that a leaked opinion draft written by SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito proves that the right wing majority on the court — all but one of whom were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote and only became president thanks to the electoral college — are voting to overturn Roe v Wade, a decision likely to drop within the next month.But on “The Late Show,” Colbert noted that 4 of the 5 justices in question seemed to have gone out of their way to misrepresent their views when they were being confirmed.“This draft decision is scathing, at one point Alito writes ‘Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.’ Now I’m not a lawyer, I can’t tell you if Roe was rightly decided. But I can tell you that it’s an important precedent that has been repeatedly reaffirmed.

TheWrap: You were very impressive during the Trump administration for how you handled things in the briefing room — you were calm, you were professional when condescended to on more than one occasion. How do you reel yourself in in times like those? I have to assume all sorts of things were going through your head.April Ryan: Let me say this: One, it was bigger than me. And I was in shock, literally.

Gogglebox stars Giles and Mary have come under fire from viewers again after claiming to "miss" Donald Trump. The Channel 4 favourites were reacting to a clip of Piers Morgan's Donald Trump interview earlier this week.

Jimmy Kimmel Live. “She’s made the same wish for the past 20 years, never comes true,” he began Tuesday’s episode by saying. “The tears keep extinguishing the candles before she can blow them out.

Alex Beresford hit back at Donald Trump after the former president of the United States branded him a "stiff" during an interview with Piers Morgan. The Good Morning Britain presenter, 41, ended up being an unexpected topic of conversation during the first episode of 57 year old Piers' new TalkTV show, which some fans slammed after it began with a "trigger warning".TV presenter Piers talked about the last two years with Donald, 75, including his departure from GMB and all the goings on within the Royal Family. Piers also brought up the US election with the American former president, but it was when discussing Piers' explosive exit from the ITV show that the weatherman came up.The TV host chose to resign from GMB after he refused to apologise for a series of comments he made about Meghan Markle in the aftermath of her and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey.

June 2021 “The Vax-Scene” song featuring dancing syringes was “strange.” “He’s weird, right!” Rogan added, after Shields called Colbert “cringe.”“I wanna be in the meeting where they pitch that. Like here’s the thing ‘We’re gonna go da — da — da — dada — da vaccines!’ Like where’s the joke? Where’s the joke? Are people going to watch this?” Rogan continued, mimicking trumpet sounds.He also insinuated that Colbert “enjoys being the star of a show” and part of the “in-crowd,” adding that the comedian is likely doing it all for his “lucrative” salary.“Like this is going to go down in history, like this time — this is like a mass psychosis,” Rogan said.The podcaster also lamented Colbert’s close relationship with high-ranking Democratic officials, poking fun at a video showing the former Comedy Central star high-fiving and dancing with US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.The conversation turned toward Colbert when Rogan said he wouldn’t be able to have a career outside of being a comedian had he been born earlier.

Piers Morgan has admitted he’s disappointed that Caitlyn Jenner pulled out of his new TV series after the backlash over a trailer for his interview with Donald Trump. In the promo, Piers enters a heated debate with the former US President as he disagrees with Trump’s view that the previous election was rigged. Since the clip was released this morning, Trump has personally contacted Piers Morgan and labelled him “a fool”, claiming he edited the interview to look like he stormed out.
