As the Senate hears testimony about the deadly insurrection on January 6th, the question of why the Joint Chiefs of Staff waited more than 3 hours before sending help looms large over the proceedings. #Colbert #ALateShow #Monologue

I know this episode of the show is a month old at the time of this typing, but I just want to say a few words: My family believes that QAnon is true. I do not, I think a lot of what they say is bollocks, but many of the theories they churn out that my family believes are honestly really disturbing. It’s stressful to listen to and hear them continuing to say that it’s all true.

If you've ever read the 9/11 report (or at least relevant parts of it) you will be chilled to know that this is nothing new. When America gets attacked by terrorists the first responders to trust are still civilian agencies. It was not until after civilian authorities called for a grounding of all airplanes in US airspace that the Pentagon responded. The military's contribution? Almost shooting down two civilian airliners by mistake! Bloating the Pentagon budget does not 'support our troops.' It goes primarily to corporate contractors who don't care a flying flock about the defense of our country. They just enjoy being given taxpayer money while hiding behind the 'private corporation' label to avoid oversight. Look up the F-22 and F-35 development histories as examples: the corporations screwed up so... Congress gave them MORE money to fix the problems the corporations created. Oh and these corporations also get the profit from weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. You know, the country where 14 of the 9/11 hijackers (plus Bin Laden himself) were from...

The Pentagon was busy packing our tax dollars into their buddies bank accounts to notice our democracy was collapsing. Pentagon = blackhole for tax dollars. It's why we can't have nice things like medicare for all.

These Republicans these days are just the absolute worst people. Willing to shovel over trillions to giant corporations but the everyday folks who actually need it evidently aren’t worthy of a dime; even though we all paid our taxes which is where it’s coming from. Scumbag pieces of garbage.

The charter of the Pentagon is not to defend elected officials. It is to serve the commander in chief. Steve should have stuck with comedy. Whatever this is just isn't working.

Elon Musk is not a clever man. Zero gravity and radiation debilitated astronauts in space for a few months - the toll on Martian settlers would reduce them to osteoporitic, blind, insane, muscle wasted wrecks of human beings. He could be investing in humanity's future but instead wastes resources on ultra polluting fantasies from the 1890s.

Yeah the pentagon has been increasing its disgustingly bloated budget far beyond what, say, the disabled and poor in our society get, so why should it take less than 3 hours to approve an action against white supremacists and traitorous GOP members?

"He cares about the American people so deeply" that he thought millions should have the 'freedom' to get Covid and 500,000+ should die from it...thereby "letting it wash over them" and keeping population down for him and his croney's. Just keeping "the right ones (white males)" in the top 1% of wealthiest. Looking after No.1 first, of course. Who got vaccinated FIRST? Apologies for my callous remarks but it fits the profile of your last president....& more so...

I don't know why, but the insurrection in the U.S. reminded me of the guy who flew his private plane into Red Square in 1987. Both show horrific weakness that could end an empire.

Remember, Trump fired DoD/Pentagon chief Esper on Nov. 9, 2 days after Biden was declared the winner. Replaced him with Christopher Miller. This explains why Trump made this change. He wanted his insurrection to succeed. Esper would not break the law for him, but Miller helped by delaying approval of the National Guard for over 3 hours. This was on every news channel. DC is a small city. There is no excuse for this. Maybe officer Sicknick would still be alive if Trump didn't collude with Miller to delay a response.

The propaganda machine working hard. Any word on why the congressional security refused to bolster security when they had daaaaays worth of notice from the FBI? That seems to have been skirted and the blame is trying to be placed on the pentagon for not teleporting over on a last minute emergency phone call?

If you lost the keys to your aircraft-carrier, press one. If this is an emergency press two and we'll send help in. Please hold, your coup is important to us. Wonderful!
