“Meanwhile, Donald Trump spent his weekend bragging about the imagined success he’s had fighting what he still insists on calling the ‘Chinese virus’, even though the result of that is an army of imbeciles blaming people of Chinese descent for the virus. On Monday, the president attempted to half-address the situation, tweeting that it’s ‘very important to protect our Asian American community in the United States since they are working closely with us to get rid of [coronavirus].’ They are working closely with us? They are us – it’s right there in the name, Asian American, it’s the second word. He somehow manages to be racist while telling other people not to be racist.” —Jimmy Kimmel
What was Rand Paul of Kentucky thinking? He is the first US senator to test positive for coronavirus, and he did not self-isolate as he waited for test results. Paul attended meetings, worked out in the Senate gym and swam in the Senate pool. By the way, he’s a doctor – not a good one, apparently, but Rand Paul is a medical doctor. So now, hopefully he’s in quarantine, or maybe he’s going around to every supermarket in Kentucky licking all of the shopping carts. Because of Paul, Senator Mitt Romney of Utah is also in self-quarantine, which Trump sarcastically called ‘too bad’ – evidence that even in our darkest hours, the president still finds time to be a catty little bitch.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
