7. Yes, Colbert made jokes about Biden,

That's what comedians do, make jokes about people in power. Yet he also had Biden on as a guest, multiple times, before, during and after the 2020 election, as both VP and President. He has had multiple different Democratic leaders on as well, Senators, Representatives and candidates. Furthermore, his Biden jokes were always rather gentle stuff you could see Biden himself laughing at, if not making the same joke.

Trump, he went after him with all the outrage in his soul. Trump, and Republicans in general, were never on the show as guests. He would hammer Trump and the Republicans. It was outstandingly funny, but it also had a point, to skewer Trump for his hypocrisy, vanity and cruelty. And while he did make fun of Biden on ice cream, tripping up stairs, etc, he never got down and dirty with Biden like he did with Trump, who, among many other things, he called Putin's cock holster.

So if you want to be outraged, fine, but it only shows your own inability to laugh at ourselves, which is not a good trait to have, in fact it is something you have in common with Trump and the MAGA right. Get over yourself.
