Now that we’ve gotten rid of all the town’s silver bullets (Sit, werewolf, sit)


“Trump also proved that revenge is a dish best served stupid by firing Vindman’s twin brother, an army lieutenant colonel who worked as a lawyer on the national security council. It’s always been my fantasy to fire twins. With the firings, Trump overruled the advice of a handful of Republican senators who urged him not to dismiss any impeachment witnesses. How dumb are these senators? You voted not to do the one thing that could’ve taken him down. That’s like saying, ‘Now that we’ve gotten rid of all the town’s silver bullets, that werewolf will really listen to us. Sit, werewolf, sit.’” —Stephen Colbert

“On Monday, Trump met with several state governors and discussed Nato, which he described as ‘going down like a rocket ship’. Oh yeah, that thing that famously goes down: a rocket ship. This is the man who wants to start space force – before we launch any of those rockets into space, let’s make sure they’re pointed in the right direction.” —Stephen Colbert

“Trump also fired Lt Col Alexander Vindman, a Ukraine expert on the national security council for testifying in the impeachment trial, though Trump told reporters it was just because he was not happy with Vindman. First of all, no one expects you to be happy with him because you’re never happy, period. You’ve lived the most charmed life of any human being on the planet and yet you’re constantly scowling. Your face only has two modes: angry scowl, or meatloaf that’s been in the oven too long.” —Seth Meyers

He’s changed the name of his resort to Mar-a-Gulago (The Irishman I Fought at a Pool Hall in 1956)


“‘1917’ was predicted to win best picture last night, and it didn’t. Yeah. Yeah, the producer was furious and said, we fought World War I for nothing.” —Conan O’Brien

“Last night, the movie ‘American Factory’ won best documentary. It was actually produced by Barack and Michelle Obama, and now some other political candidates have announced that they’re making their own movies to compete in next year’s Oscars. Yeah, for example, Mike Bloomberg is making one called ‘I Could Buy Ford and Ferrari.’ Joe Biden — Joe Biden is making one called ‘The Irishman I Fought at a Pool Hall in 1956.’ Bernie Sanders is making one called, ‘Hair-asite.’ And finally, President Trump is making one called ‘Third Marriage Story.’” —Jimmy Fallon

“We still have our president, since Trump got acquitted in his impeachment trial, and now he’s ready for revenge on anyone he believes wronged him. On Friday, Donald Trump proved he’s more spite than man when he fired two critical impeachment witnesses: Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the EU, and Lt Col Alexander Vindman, a Ukraine expert on the national security council. The dismissals show that Trump has gone full strongman. He’s making a list of enemies and he’s changed the name of his resort to Mar-a-Gulago.” —Stephen Colbert

but it is a great reminder that you’re a total douche (two of his least favorite things)


“Lt. Colonel Vindman began his time with a message to his father, who fled the Soviet Union 40 years ago, that he shouldn’t worry about his son speaking the truth in America. The statement was beautiful, but you know it’s really going to enrage Trump because it features two of his least favorite things: immigrants and fathers who love their sons.” --Stephen Colbert

“Throughout the testimony, Vindman expressed faith in American government to protect truth-tellers. Yeah, in America, ‘right’, matters. You know, unless you’re one of the congressmen on the right, then not so much these days.” --Stephen Colbert

“There were several Republican efforts to undercut Vindman, such as the Utah congressman Chris Stewart’s attempt to throw shade at his military uniform. ‘I see you’re wearing your dress uniform, knowing that’s not the uniform of the day,’ Stewart said. ‘You normally wear a suit to the White House. I think it’s a great reminder of your military service.’ Congressman, I see you’re wearing your little bitch face.. It’s not the face the of the day, but it is a great reminder that you’re a total douche.” --Stephen Colbert

“Then there was the Ohio congressman Jim Jordan, who tried to say Vindman’s superiors doubted his judgment; Vindman refuted the characterization by reading, verbatim, a sterling performance review from July. The review basically said ‘He uses excellent judgment, he plans ahead, he brings documents that rebut Jim Jordan’s weak-ass smack talk even before it leaves his dirty little mouth.’” --Stephen Colbert

If these impeachment proceedings have taught me anything (You can’t handle the truth!)


“If these impeachment proceedings have taught me anything, it’s that there’s no sentence more depressing than: ‘The chair now recognizes Devin Nunes for 45 minutes.’” --Jimmy Kimmel
“Devin Nunes, a Trump stalwart from California, did not use his speaking time in the hearings to gather facts, because those don’t look too good for Team Trump. Instead, he lashed out at the media, which he called puppets of the Democratic party. Someone who has the president’s knuckles so far up his butt they’re poking his tonsils – is that person allowed to call other people puppets? We may have to ask Elmo to weigh in on that.” --Jimmy Kimmel
“Lt. Colonel Vindman has a purple heart for military service, and they still tried to pick him apart. The woman whose reputation they tried to stain works for Mike Pence! They’re actually trying to make us believe that a woman who voluntarily works for Mike Pence is on the other side!” --Jimmy Kimmel

“We’re so used to these movies and TV shows where the criminal breaks down on the stand and confesses – it’s like we’re waiting for that to happen before we make a decision. But in real life – which, believe it or not, this is – that’s not how this goes. No one shouts ‘You can’t handle the truth!’” --Jimmy Kimmel

what kind of baby spy thriller were you watching? (Biden Inert)


“So of course the first question for these Republicans is ‘How do we destroy Lt. Col. Vindman?’ The patriots over at Fox News found it very suspicious that our top Ukraine expert is from Ukraine. And it is suspicious when you learn someone in the Trump administration has actual expertise in his field.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“Now, mind you, uh, Vindman was 3 years old when he came to the U.S., so he didn’t move here — he was moved here by his parents. Right? Because now they’re making it seem like he was like a double agent for Ukraine. Like, what kind of baby spy thriller were you watching?” —Trevor Noah

“Hey, Laura Ingraham, you’re attacking a decorated veteran to protect Donald Trump. Who do you think you are, Donald Trump? And by the way, yes, Colonel Vindman emigrated from Ukraine when he was 3. Nobody even remembers where they were when they were 3, with the possible exception of you. I’m sure when you were 3 you were already at Saks Fifth Avenue making a salesperson cry.” —Seth Meyers

He’s never even bankrupted a casino (a sense of what to the who?)


[Colbert Imitating Trump] What do you mean, Lt. Col. Vindman is an immigrant? I didn’t know those came in white. You know what? He must be — it must be some sort of Man-lania.” —Stephen Colbert

“Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, says he reported Trump’s Ukraine call out of a ‘sense of duty’ to the country. To which Trump said, ‘a sense of what to the who?’” —James Corden

“Lt. Col. Vindman has a Purple Heart and he has a Harvard degree — or as Trump put it, ‘Psh, who are you going to believe: him or me?’” —Jimmy Fallon

“But what does Lt. Col. Vindman know? He’s just a decorated war veteran. He’s never even bankrupted a casino.” —James Corden
