January 2022
“It’s the first anniversary of the insurrection at the Capitol. It’s important to reflect on a day like this. There’s a reason Texas’ motto is not ‘What’s an Alamo?’” —Stephen Colbert
“President Biden’s address regarding the events of Jan. 6th, detailed the horrific actions of Trump supporters that day, including ‘literally defecating in the hallways.’ Defecating? That is a very delicate, presidential and high-minded way to describe MAGA maniacs smearing poop on the walls: [imitating Biden] ‘These ignoble miscreants absconded with Madam Speaker’s rostrum, set alight their cannabis cigarillos and besmirched these hallowed corridors with their human detritus! The fecal matter — the fecal matter had truly hit the oscillator!’” —Stephen Colbert
“Joe Biden also chastised Donald Trump for sitting idly by in a private White House dining room, ‘doing nothing for hours.’ Excuse me, sir. Since when is downing a KFC family bucket doing ‘nothing?’ He was working hard, and he had the chicken sweats to prove it.” —Stephen Colbert
“Now, there were some notable absences from the ceremonies today. During a moving moment of silence for the officers who lost their lives, there were only two Republicans on the House floor. The other Republican legislators chose to re-enact Jan. 6 by hiding in fear.” —Stephen Colbert
“But the former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, and instead of discussing their now public pants-crapping, terrified text exchange from a year back, Meadows complained in advance about how the media would cover it. Meadows said, ‘You’re right to point out that tomorrow is going to be spent on January 6th.’ Keen analysis. Meadows went on to predict the next day would be spent on January 7th, the day after might focus on January 8th, and by the weekend, we could see numbers as high as 9 or 10.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
