then hit the bar for bottomless piña colada boarding (Uh, do you mean Jared?)

June 2021

“A forthcoming book by two Washington Post journalists is said to provide new information about the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. The main detail: There wasn’t one.” —Stephen Colbert

“According to the book, early in the pandemic former President Donald J. Trump suggested sending Covid-infected American cruise ship passengers to the Guantánamo Bay naval base in Cuba to avoid adding to U.S. case numbers. The president wanted to send cruise ship passengers to Gitmo, so enjoy your beach day with a complimentary head sack, then hit the bar for bottomless piña colada boarding.” —Stephen Colbert

“And you know he said he wants to send them to ‘Geronimo Bay’ or something like that.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“Of course the reality star wanted to send them to an island. He probably sent a camera crew, too, and called it ‘Survirus’ or something.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“This is another good McNugget for the book. Trump — they say he was very upset about Covid testing because he believed that positive tests would look bad and hurt his chances of re-election. He had a call with Alex Azar, who was his secretary of health and human services, and he demanded to know what ‘idiot’ decided to make the federal government do testing, and Alex Azar was like, ‘Uh, do you mean Jared?’” — Jimmy Kimmel, referencing Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser

“Imagine being in that administration and someone calling you ‘the idiot.’ That’s like being in the N.B.A. and your nickname is ‘the tall guy.’” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night 

of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
