Fiction has to make sense

If I put this in a book my editor would say it was too on the nose.

THREE days after Paramount reached a deal with Cheeto Benito they cancel Stephen Colbert's show.

Yeah. :/

This is bad news.

Also, I keep imagining all the fans banding together in some kind of alt-Kickstarter to keep his show going, albeit through another media outlet or platform.

This is bad, however, I will be curious to see what Colbert does with ten months of being on the air and not having to give one single fuck.

[dewline]

That should be productively entertaining.

So this is the Fuck Your Feelings and Tenderly Coddle Ours Regime.

I saw the news last night. I had not seen Warren's question. Good for her. My parents who watch The Late Show are hoping that Colbert will just show up for his remaining time with the brakes off.

This country is sliding pretty fast now. Trump wants to redraw districts in Texas to get more Republican seats and once that starts it's all over. I wish I could leave but no country wants broke disabled unemployable people.

This totally makes sense, as long as you look at it from a “corruption right out in the open” lens. Barf.

They aren't even pretending to hide the corruption any more. I hope he uses his remaining time productively (I mean productively for us and him, not the Cheeto), and that he comes back quickly somewhere more independent.
