    A less-orange man would have been thrown in jail for a fraction of what Trump did. Two-tiered justice system at work.
  • If you think Cohen deserved prison time, but that his then boss trump does NOT deserve prison time, it's time to start questioning your ability to be rational.
  • “It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” Joseph Heller, Catch-22, published in 1961 ... Perfect description of Trump and his MAGA movement.
  • I have held Donald Trump in contempt for years. What took the court so long?

    Blankenship was jailed for the conspiring to violate federal mine safety; the worst mine explosion at Massey Upper Big Branch Mine, 29 workers died.

    Paying $130,000 to silence a porn star you didn't have sex with, aka "The Shart of the Deal."
  • @PugilPixels
    Trump comparing protests to Charlottesville is like comparing apples to white supremacist oranges. One is a fruit, and the other is a stain on our nation's history.
  • @jodinsan
    So he's mad that his attorney isn't helping him violate the gag order. That's some real Trumpian logic there.
  • @darrylmars
    Jail IS Necessary & prison is long overdue
  • Don Blankenship is a terrible human being and should still be in jail. He served a one year sentence for the deaths of 29 people. He should serve 2 years in prison for every life most due to his gross negligence.

    Do y'all remember Kent State Massacreof May 4, 1970?!?! Yeah, they got shot down by the Ohio National Guard; AFTER, the students were breaking up, and leaving the area. The Republican Gov of Ohio sent them out at the request of the Kent State leadership.
  • @AllThingsFilm1
    Trump violated the gag order nine times! Anyone else would be in jail by now. Put him away already.

    Colbert is the only thing that gets me through this country's messed up politics
  • @allasar
    Should have been in jail a long time ago. No way anyone else would be walking free for storing classified documents in a bathroom, and that is just one (and not even the worst) of his crimes.

    Don Blankenship: Massey Energy, Big Branch Mine disaster of 2010. Twenty-nine out of thirty-one miners at the site were killed. Blankenship cut ventilation to the mine to increase profit.
