Perhaps it is just a coincidence that Paramount chief Shari Redstone is desperate for Trump’s administration to allow her conglomerate to merge with a company called Skydance, which is controlled by another of his ass-eating sycophants. Perhaps it is just a coincidence that Skydance’s chief met with Brendan Carr, the little MAGA bitchwho runs Trump’s FCC, just before the firing.

Perhaps it is just a coincidence that Stephen Colbert had referred to the little peener payoff in the “60 Minutes” lawsuit as “A BIG FAT BRIBE” just days before.

Perhaps we are just living in a land of coincidences!

    I hope he goes full “gloves off” at this point, and burns the whole thing down on his way out. Fuck Trump and fuck CBS / Paramount.

      My exact thoughts! I can’t imagine he won’t go scorched earth and salt the fields.

      Don’t know the details but this sort of thing is surely in a contract, written in stone. As long as he doesn’t break the terms of that contract I’m thinking he can do and say as he damn well pleases. And I so hope he does!

      Didn’t he do the first part already? I saw a video yesterday which, I believe, sparked Trumps wrath, and Colbert really sounded like he’s gleefully burning bridges. Not that I’m fooled though, he probably has a strategy that will keep him in black numbers one way or the other.

      WTF do you mean? Colbert been calling Trump Hitler for a decade now. Hell, all of the Left been openly hoping for his death. The gloves had been off since day one.

    That article was so snarky and righteously angry that I’m surprised I didn’t go blind reading it. Highly recommended!
