Late-Night Hosts Send Hopeful Messages in Somber Post-Election Shows
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 11/9/2016 | Jennifer Konerman

Posted on 11/10/2016 4:33:32 AM PST by simpson96

Most late-night shows were on hiatus on Election Night in favor of news coverage, so when they returned to their posts on Wednesday, they had plenty to talk about.

Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah aired live shows on Tuesday, sharing somber messages as well as their usual lighthearted jokes and monologues. Other hosts followed suit on Wednesday, including Samantha Bee, Conan O'Brien, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert and James Corden.

On TBS, O'Brien spoke to his audience about history. "Today is a really strange day," said the host. "Half the country is really happy, half the country is somewhere between despondent and furious."

Speaking about history, he reminded the audience that "We have been here before. We have had bitter, angry elections for 200 years."

"In America, we get to choose who's going to ruin our country," he continued, saying that he chose to remain positive and be thankful "that we have fair and free elections at all."

Meyers' Late Night was largely a reflection on his coverage of Trump thus far and a hopeful message for the future first female president.

"Well, that was a real grab in the p----," Meyers began, adding that because he's been wrong on every single prediction he's had of Trump so far, "he's probably going to be a great f--king president."

Expect the leftitute talk show hosts to do everything they can to mock and ridicule Trump and his administration for anything that is accomplished.

A friend posted this from her son who found it in another post (probably 6 degrees from Free Republic).

"I'm noticing that a lot of you aren't graciously accepting the fact that your candidate lost. In fact you seem to be posting even more hateful things about those of us who voted for Trump.

Some of you are apparently "triggered." Because you are posting how "sick" you feel about the results. How did this happen you ask.

You created "us" when you attacked our freedom of speech.

You created "us" when you attacked our right to bear arms.

You created "us" when you attacked our Christian beliefs.

You created "us" when you constantly referred to us as racists.

You created "us" when you constantly called us xenophobic.

You created "us" when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.

You created "us" when you forced us to buy exorbitant health care and then financially penalized us for not participating.

You created "us" when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.

You created "us" when you attacked our flag.

You created "us" when you confused women's rights with feminism.

You created "us" when you began to emasculate men.

You created "us" when you decided to make our children soft.

You created "us" when you decided to vote for progressive ideals.

You created "us" when you attacked our way of life.

You created "us" when you decided to let our government get out of control.

You created "us" when you forced man-made global warming down our throats.

You created "us" when you destroyed important industries (coal) and went into the automobile business (GM--government Motors).

You created "us" when you failed to convict greedy bankers for the economic failure in the mortgage industry.

"You" created "us" the silent majority.

And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up.

And we did it with ballots, not bullets."

I didn’t catch Fallon who is usually down the middle of the fairway. He is, BTW, a registered Republican but changed that to Independent when he took over from Leno.

The “monster” they created is, fortunately for them, civilized.

But in 2008 and then again in 2012, that didn't matter, did it? Because "your guy" won?

Dear Hollywood Left,

The next time you nominate a Democratic candidate, nominate one that doesn't have a ridiculous track record of scandal and doesn't appear to be physically too old for the job. You got spoiled by the young and energetic Barack Obama and with Hillary Clinton barely showing up for rallies until the very end, that turned off a lot of voters.

Not many smug, condescending libs could be that honest. I wonder if deep down a lot these "professional Hillary supporters" hated having to go on with this charade. Now they are liberated.

Could it be like the flying monkeys and the castle guards after the Wicked Witch of the West melted, these libs are having their own "She's dead; hail Dorothy." moment?

The precious snowflakes don’t understand that if they had one it would have been one more step down the path of NO FREE ELECTIONS ever again.

There is a good reason the liberals invented the term “useful idiots” (to refer to their own supporters)

It is people who ASK FOR the gun to shoot themselves in the foot.
