Seth Meyers Calls For Trump's Removal After Violent Insurrection at Capitol 

I can totally understand that yeah. They have no clue what it means to actually fight for their country. I haven't served either but I do respect people like you for having done it.

As a non-American who loves your country and wants the best for it, thanks for your service and your truthfulness about today.

Thank you Seth. Europe is shocked. And you know it. Ekki from Germany

As a Canadian afghan vet I fell you. Radicalized domestic terrorists are the worst.

But ivanka called them patriots!! Sickening THEY think they are.

THIS!!!!

The trump supporters take that the other way around tho. They’re terrorists at this point. Not patriots

It's sad to see the factionism that has grown within the Republican party, there is Trumplicans (fanatics) and Republicans.

But if you're a fascist patriotism is viewed as support for the fascist leader.

Meanwhile biden is living christ to people watching these shows... lol

I just think it’s annoying. I don’t wanna hear my comedians talk about politics unless there’s a punchline somewhere there. It’s just disingenuous and it’s virtue signaling and it’s insufferable. It’s pretty much the same thing as the vegan who needs to say they are vegan every 10 minutes

Don’t forget Corden.

Y’all need to get out of your bubble see the truth. You’ve all drank the Kool-Aid how sad.

@@powskiproductions8839 then don’t watch easy as that.

you like one sided news. But you would not want to live in a country with one political party like Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, most Arab nations.

Agreed. And to those who say Seth Meyers should stick to telling jokes or stick to comedy, understand what happened on 1/6 nor the Trump presidency was not funny. They were both horrifying and should never happen again.

This Colbert's and Kimmel's where great.

Amy, I think we should mark January 6 as a remembrance day on the calendar like we have for Pearl Harbor.

Agreed

The only surprise I had was to see so little police/security for this predictable and predicted attack.

Man, all night I been farting like my anus is making farts like a FART FACTORY . Just imagine how someones inside anus smell

Elect a clown....Expect a circus. Trump and GOP. The World saw an imbecile voted POTUS in 2016, we knew what would happen. How did the American electorate NOT see this coming??

@@annm3631 And worse: still denies it. The real problem is Obama in a tan suit, according to these people. I mean morons.

Great quote. Was that about the Mad King?

Thank-you Seth.

It's no laughing matter anymore.

@@christopherb501 and what do you recommend should replace attempts at civil discourse?

same goes for the democrats who incited violence after george floyds death. Street goes both ways dude, if you want to say you're unbiased, you actually have to be unbiased.

Yes

@@jaredkilleen7009 the difference is that trump incited the violence against democracy and the peaceful transition of power of our American government. Yes it's bad that some democrats incited violence after George Floyds death, but that is absolutely not the same as what trump did here. He's stirred up lies and misinformation, brought those people to DC, had his rally just minutes before this vote was to take place, then told them to march against the capitol, to never give up, that they had their election and their country stolen from them, and to fight. He directly and deliberately causes the armed and violent insurrection tonight, and his only way of apology was filled with lies and then he told those terrorists that they were loved and very special. Absolutely unacceptable.

@@jaredkilleen7009 Looting a Target and breaching the US Capitol building are not remotely the same

@@jaredkilleen7009 go to Parler. Stay on Parler to plot and commiserate with your comrades. There actually is a difference in standing up for equality and human rights v the traitorous garbage that went down at the nations capitol in the name of a privileged few. You will be safe on Parler.

I would say Seth for President, but after Reagan and Trump, i think we should think better of electing celebrities

It only comes off that way because they are reading from the same script.

Preach.

Thank you. I wasn’t aware of this Lincoln quote.

It’s not a real Lincoln quote 😂 more of paraphrasing www.snopes.com/fact-check/lincoln-destroyed-from-outside/

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.” --George Washington's Farewell Address

@@LG-dj9qr It is a MAGA invention, not a Lincoln quote.

Me too, the scripting is a bit overkill and annoying most times, there should be less "like" jokes and more of his personal opinions on the subject, he's naturally funny.

And the burning and looting of cities all year was what, just "Peaceful Protests?" Gimme a break, buncha hypocrites.

Never have seen the serious side of this guy. Very, very impressive.

@@maddierosemusic It's obvious hypocrisy. If violence is so wrong, why the hell weren't they upset when a few months ago Black Lives Matter and Antifa set things on fire, lootet and hurt other people? They really don't care about people being violent or undemocratic, they only care about the group. If it's a left-wing group that hurts and kills innocent people, they call it "mostly peaceful". There was *much more* violence during the Black Lives Matter "protest".

@@hamidkarim4811 Looting and violence from any group is clearly wrong and unacceptable. However storming the Capital in order try to overturn a legitimate election is American terrorism.

The fact he's told that story many times before a crowd.....is beyond bizarre. It's SO on the nose. Does he realize the double meaning....? Does the audience he tells it to? Seems not. But man....that story he tells is incredibly disturbing given the context of who he is as a human being. He's literally warning people of his psychopathy in the telling of that story. But neither he, nor his intended audience, gets that message. It's weird....

Thanks. It’s painful to have happen here, especially if you have family who supports Trump...

america has become a disgrace. definitely not world leader material anymore.

@@thune4944 Unfortunately my family does. My Trump-supporting grandmother described the insurrection as a "break-in at the Capitol".

Thanks for the kind words, NZ.

And this is exactly why they're nauseating, spineless insurrectionists.

And every Dem who still says this "we cannot look back" bs is part of the problem too.

Well they can be proud of themselves from a cell because DC plans to convict everyone that broke into the capital. As they obviously should.

We can hoist the shame upon them. You don't have to feel shame presonally to be destroyed by it Shame has weight and can be crushing Look at how trump nearly burst into tears when he was booed at the baseball game. It can be done

In order to have shame one must have a conscience...........they do don't!!!! Also, as you said , this is what they have been wanting for a long time!!

Seth is ignorant and hypocritical and not worth a minute more of my time.

@@johnatwell2753 Good, then get lost bud, no one wants you here anyway. You can’t handle the truth. ! !

Yeah, once there he can adjust his trousers while reaching for the soap!

I'm sure that Trump would try to pardon him.

{ONLY-&-only to the OP and "upvoters": }That 9/11 hero???

@@stormichow5325 Hindsight is fun, isn't it? Trump hasn't, and won't, pardon him. Because Rudy is a liability for him now. And Trump has ZERO loyalty to those who are loyal to him. He'd kill his own family if it earned him a buck.

Yup. Exactly. It wont be a case will he be charged. It will what will he be charged with!!!!

there is a time and place for jokes, now is not the time.

I wanted to make a joke about the "trial by combat" line because imagining Trump trying to fight would be hysterical but I the fact he wants it to come to that is just terrifying.

I'm old enough to remember Jon Stewart's first Daily Show after 9/11...surreal, heartbreaking, burned on my brain forever😢

@@noahleonard2481 we need to seize all of his assets except for the amount necessary to fund life support so he can stay in prison as long as possible. We should put his jail cell with his rotting head in a jar, at the Smithsonian.

@@zaurakdigis I don't know enough off the internal politics of the US to say that. I am worried though about the path the US is on.

@@arthurvdv8690 we will be fine, Trump running again would be a dream come true for Democrats. January 6 will be Trumps legacy.

Not American either, but when he was elected in 2016 I was afraid he might even declare martial law to stay in power. I'm honestly surprised he didn't take the riots in DC as an opportunity to do that. He was never, ever going to go quietly, it was evident from the beginning. I just hope this is the worst we see, and that whatever good people remain in the Republican party can keep him under control until the transfer of power is safely complete. The best thing Biden can do for America is dismantle and prosecute Faux News, and ensure such a broad spreader of disinformation cannot happen again. The truth will set you free. I think that's the first time that phrase has made sense to me.

@@zaurakdigis I hope so. We need eachother more than we tend to realise at times. We share alot off common values which we should cherrish.

@Otr Driving Keep vomiting up your tired tropes, no one is listening

@Otr Driving fool

There should be psychological tests before running for POTUS, this type of authoritarianism is always from narcissistic characters like Trump. Him and people like him will always create cults.

agree

Q

It's 9:30 am here.

Same 🥺 I really am sitting here so sad and hoping and wishing that this is it. Get rid of him for good and throw away the key and send all his cult followers to some hidden place they can never escape and be miserable losers together.

You’re not alone. It’s 1:40am here, watching from Canada 🇨🇦

I j watched cspan for like 4 hours. It’s not good

I fucking hope to god that Trump loses sleep over this If its not because of his conscience then at least for the consequences, I hope he faces for this

Yes, indeed

This.

Awwww poor baby... 🙄 When a country has growing pains everyone has to cry about it. Granted, we've gone back 60 years so there's plenty more history in the making.

Whomp whomp. Cya boo boo . Y’all quitters.

Hrm, let's have a think about what happened the last time a tv showman was elected as president...

@@NobleKale Run for office, not necessarily immediately presidency. Seth Meyers pivoting into a politically active career using a solid infrastructure of organizing and managing a research team while interacting with the mainstream while staying relatively independent is a pretty good recipe for an active, influential politician. Trump was neither a solid organizer, a successful semi-independent studio operator, an articulate person, or any particularly culturally conscious or sensitive person. We need to stop pretending that just being a media personality inherently damns you from political action just because Trump was a media personality before being the worst president in history. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan were both actors, both of them becoming governors, and leading politically innocuous lives following that. Reagan's presidency was then cemented in that practice, and while I dislike much about him and his administration, he was certainly a more competent and functional president. Media personalities often have important political connections, causes they value, and a wide audience already available. I don't think we should be dismissing them out of hand. What made Trump bad was that he was overtly a racist bigot and has been known as such since he first had any public presence. Seth Meyers, by comparison, is innocuous, friendly, untouched by scandals, politically sensitive, and has potential for meaningful impact.

For real. This is better than Biden's speech last night. 😔

@@thus_crab WAY better. He is STILL trying to reach across the aisle saying "This is not who we are" Sorry to break it to you Joe, yes this IS America and the longer we turn away from it the worse it gets :(

From the United States, thank you sir, and we wish you well on healing from the troubles as well.

He is a con man. It was just another con. Remember that Jim Jones got his followers to drink poison.

This is scary the power that this man has.

As usual he watched it on TV and cheered while refusing to take any action to quell the violence even though he unleashed the angry mob upon his woefully under protected fellow politicians whilst directing their hatred towards his VP pence. This is treason against America and betrayal of the highest order. A long prison sentence is the only just response.

No. He was jumping up and down on the couch like top gun cuz they didn't STOP the count.

I've been expecting some sort of violence from the far-right for weeks now. I just didn't think it would actually be an act of sedition or an attempted coup. I just figured it would be a protest somewhere that got violent. This is...fucking insane. And they probably think they did nothing wrong, that they were just doing their patriotic duty.

@@sfreemanoh Same here. I was expecting a T***p rally or march to turn violent at some point. I was expecting either a shootout with the police or a riot. But I didn't ever expect a terrorist attack on congress and government buildings. I never thought I'd be so disappointed in America.

Coming from trump I'm not surprised it was gonna happen he's not stable

When is Civil War legal? When do tyrants allow for an up rising? When has revolution ever been peaceful?

Not really, those racists who took the Capitol yesterday are loath to come here, they despise us as much as we despise them. Besides, they just wanted an excuse to show their assault rifles and destroy something. What does it matter if it was their own house?

But it was okay to laff at it a little, right? Made it easier to bear...😉

I have noticed the same thing with Bill Maher. Although their shows are called comedy shows, in reality they are talking serious and truthful things. Has it become a way of bringing public to its senses and reason?

THAT is hilarious. He would not know the truth if it bit his ass.

Yeah over the last 4 years all the late night hosts switched to "truthful news" aka propaganda. Why would anyone take late night comedians as serious news is beyond me.

When is Civil War legal? When do tyrants allow for an up rising? When has revolution ever been peaceful?

spot on.

A powerful and impassioned speech. If only it would be heard and felt by those that really need to hear it. Impressive stuff from somebody that I'm sure a lot of people consider to be just a "talking head". Well done to Seth and his writing/production team.

@@sixstringedthing Those whom really need the words will likely not heed the words.

I think we are very lucky they are here to do this. They all have huge audiences, much larger than some straight-up political shows. Some of them, like Seth with the one politician (sorry I don’t remember his name) and Jimmy Fallon, with Walter Kronkite have these guests who might serve as a jumping off point for more research. And Colbert is an absolute must watch from January 6.

Not Sad...Staged👀👀👀

Billions around the world saw it coming, however it is still shocking

Those who willfully refused to see it coming, didn't see it coming.

Can we get this guy banned to run for the next presidential run? Or get him locked up right after he leaves office? Just spitballing here because we should never choose someone who cares only for oneself and brainwash their people just for recognition. Well he's now best known for being the worst human selfish human being since anyone else. It anyone lives in other stories from books, movies, or any other, I would rather be Dracula's bodyguard, a parademon for Darkseid, a flying monkey for the wicked witch of the west, be a Thanos follower, be giunie pig for the Joker, heck I rather worker for the co-founder of McDonald's at the time he stole and took the credit of the original founders because he's played by the freaking Batman. I know I'm commenting there kind of nonesense, but for what just happened, right after leaving the worst year we ever experienced so far, I don't see anyone learned what went wrong yet made things worst because of a snob says so.

I saw all of this coming as I listened to Trump's dark inauguration speech four years ago. It made me sick and the feeling never went away. thank God this part of our history may soon be over and that we have learned from it. Action must be taken to bring justice.

Never have-never will!

You are so right! Trump wants people to be loyal to him , not our country! He gets rid of people, if you don't agree with him! Have you ever see a presidency, in our past- where the president got rid of people in his cabinet on a regular basis, because they tried to give him good advise/ or disagreed with him- he has an agenda, that is to be our KING/ EMPEROR!!!

Debate and questioning authority when there's room for debate and questioning IS the highest form of patriotism here in these United States. When all evidence is against you, when the only debate is the itinerary forward and not which path we should chose, does dissent become dangerous. These people are and were traitors, and I can say that having traitors in my ancestry, I'm from the South.... -_-
