it’s all making sense why colbert isn’t funny.

CNN is already a joke, so it makes perfect sense to put a comedy show’s executive as it’s president.

Hide your kids, they bustin out the big boy pedo

So no changes to the propaganda you guys spew out. StephenAtHome is the biggest Liberal cuckcold on TV.
