FCC Considers Fining Stephen Colbert Over Controversial Trump Joke (rollingstone.com)
FCC chairman Ajit Pai said on Friday his agency will be looking into complaints made against Late Show host Stephen Colbert for what some labeled a homophobic joke about President Donald Trump. From a report: On Monday's Late Show, Colbert quipped that "the only thing [Trump's] mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's c**k holster." The joke drew accusations of homophobia, a viral #FireColbert campaign and FCC complaints against Colbert. In an interview Friday, FCC chairman Ajit Pai told a Philadelphia radio station, "I have had a chance to see the clip now and so, as we get complaints -- and we've gotten a number of them -- we are going to take the facts that we find and we are going to apply the law as it's been set out by the Supreme Court and other courts and we'll take the appropriate action." Pai added, "Traditionally, the agency has to decide, if it does find a violation, what the appropriate remedy should be. A fine, of some sort, is typically what we do."
Colbert: "“The only thing [Trump’s] mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster,”
FCC: Hey, you can't say that on TV. Retract it!
Colbert: "Last night I said that the only thing Trump's mouth was good for is being Vladimir Putin's cock holster. I was wrong. Trump's mouth isn't good enough to be Vladimir Putin's cock holster."
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
Hey, not all homosexuals. I bet there's at least a few that don't even like Vladimir Putin, much less want to give him blowjobs every day...
Colbert "Trump's only use is as Putin's cock holster"
Trump: "Romney would have dropped to his knees for my endorsement in 2012"
This is political, Colbert has been nailing Trump on issue after issue.
This was a fucking hilarious attack monologue, on Trump's 100 day interview, where he insulted the man interviewing him, then refused to repeat his "Obama wiretapped me" claim, then sat down behind the deskl and did a sulk.
Trump was a dick, and Colbert used rephrased versions of TRUMP's insults into a sharper attack. TRUMP. Watch it if you haven't already, it's comedy at its finest.

Ajit should not be attacking free political speech, he is already in trouble killing Net Neutrality. He needs to apologise.
He was looking for a way to depict Trump as sexual partner for Putin ...
Or Putin's bitch. No matter, that picture has been painted and no amount of therapy is going to make it go away. #ThanksColbert
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Putin said emphatically: "I did not have sexual relations with that man"
My ism, it's full of beliefs.
Russian flaunted the artic military base treaty, Trump said nothing.
Flouted. The word you want is flouted. It means to defy unashamedly.
To flaunt something is to brandish it about. You could use it in a sentence like this:
Putin flaunted his cock to the world before holstering it triumphantly in Trump's gaping mouth.
Crumb's Corollary: Never bring a knife to a bun fight.
Well, I heard the reason Melania doesn't sleep in the white house with Donald is because Putin snores.
So there are better and wittier ways of making the same point.
I demand that parent poster be fired for this homophobic joke.
The accusation got worse, it was upgraded from slander to betrayal of state secrets.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
come at me bro
They're outraged that Trump's been called a fag.
Thanks, I didn't see it under that angle:
"Trump has been called a fag! That's outrageous to fags!"
I can agree with that, seen that way the complaint seems actually legitimate.
I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of killer sig, which this margin is too narrow to contain.
