fire Colbert? fire Trump.

caveat/warning: foul language So I guess the latest Trump-bashing from Colbert has gotten some people upset.  I think the comment in question is that he said, regarding Trump: “The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c— holster.” Some are saying, presumably those on the right, that this goes too far […]
