Colbert was quite animated on Thursday night. He offered a summary of the country’s political landscape by turning to the camera and saying, “This is fucked up,” or something to that effect.
He zeroed in on exactly the frustration many feel: many can plainly see that Trump is taking up way too much of the country’s time and energy with the multiple lawsuits and criminal entanglements—and to one degree or another is guilty of charges—but we are fearful that the wheels of justice won’t turn fast enough to keep him from doing more damage than he’s already wrought.
We’re being put through the wringer because a 77-year-old narcissistic windbag can’t behave himself. The frustration over this is liable to boil over every now and then, and reactions are inevitable. It was Colbert’s turn a couple nights ago.
