On the edges

February 18, 2026

Nonpolitical question – So since Olympic figure skaters are increasingly skating to rock songs, and songs with a change in tempo really showcase skills, when is someone going to skate to “Free Bird?”

Sometimes hard not to think that men are just not suited to be in positions of power.

So was this 2020 interview the only time Stephen Colbert complied with Brendan Carr’s newly made-up “equal time for rivals” rule for late night?

(And this was in May, after both Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar had endorsed Joe Biden.)

As Amy Klobuchar pointed out:

“GOP gave ICE $75 BILLION more funding, instead of giving $$ to local police.
And instead of spending time on training ICE unleashed horrific conduct, bounty system, detaining legal citizens.

Thinking it doesn’t matter to you? Other than the fact that any city could be the next Minneapolis…. this uses taxpayer dollars from all 50 states.

How many remember Donald’s promise to end the Russia Ukraine war on day one?

Putin must be so proud.

I am sure Donald will respond to this defeat in a mature fashion…

So after Colbert leaves in May who else is completely done with CBS?.
