And our governments are very much the same (because he wouldn’t use a coaster)

Donald Trump’s has used many defenses against the Epstein scandal, starting with his claim that he didn’t send a lewd birthday greeting to Epstein featuring a nude drawing of a woman, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. As Trump said: “I don’t do drawings of women.” 

The way you keep saying ‘I don’t do drawings of women,’ instead of just saying ‘I don’t do drawings of people’ makes it sound like you do a ton of drawings of dudes. Trump then “dug the hole deeper” by saying that his friendship with Epstein ended only because Epstein hired employees out from under him. 

That’s not helping you, dude! Going out of your way to explain that you cut ties with a monster not because he was a monster, but because he hired people away from you makes you sound even worse. That’s like saying you stopped inviting Charles Manson to parties because he wouldn’t use a coaster. —Seth Meyers

It makes things too complicated at the rest stop (and I thought, ooh company)

Joe Biden has been running for president since 1988. In 1988 Air Supply was a band, now it’s what Joe Biden needs when he reaches the top of the stairs. —Bill Maher

It's rough around here. A few days ago I was watching the movie Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, a terrific movie, and that scene where Brad Pitt answers the door and it's the Manson Family and I thought, ooh company. —Bill Maher

"Lindsay Graham is running for reelection and his primary opponent publicly called him 'ambiguously gay." Republican politicians do not like ambiguously gay. It makes things too complicated at the rest stop." –Bill Maher

That’s like if OJ’s buddies at his trial were Charles Manson and Hannibal Lecter (someone else’s porn star hush-money trial)

Donald Trump was back in court on Thursday for his criminal hush-money trial, with several congressional Republicans in tow for support, including JD Vance, Lauren Boebert, Tim Scott and Matt Gaetz. Man, Beavis and Butthead are everywhere. Seriously, there are more Republican members of Congress at Trump’s criminal trial than there are at the Capitol. Just going to throw this out there – might be a good day to storm it? —Seth Meyers

“If you’re on trial for a criminal charge where character is central to the case, Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert aren’t exactly the role models you want with you in the room. That’s like if OJ’s buddies at his trial were Charles Manson and Hannibal Lecter.” —Seth Meyers

Nevertheless, Gaetz and Boebert were reportedly sitting in the front row of the courtroom. Sitting front row at the Trump trial must be like the Maga version of sitting courtside at a Knicks game, except if someone says, ‘Wow, they’re even bigger up close,’ they’re talking about the bags under Trump’s eyes. This is how grimy and pathetic the Republican party has become: the only thing sadder than having to sit in a dreary New York City courtroom for your porn star hush-money trial is sitting in a dreary New York City courtroom for someone else’s porn star hush-money trial. —Seth Meyers

That's right. 89 years ago today, Colonel Sanders founded fast-food chain KFC. And boy, was Trump pissed when he found out he still had to come to work today. Meyers as Trump, "It's a holiday!" --Seth Meyers

A judge has ruled on the dispute over who will be allowed to take custody of the body of notorious serial killer Charles Manson. So, congratulations to Hard Rock Cafe! --Seth Meyers

I know some of my sober friends are drinking again. I was FaceTiming this guy last week and I saw in the background he had a bottle of scotch which he tried to pass off his 12 year old hand sanitizer. —Bill Maher

Americans now are of course waiting for their $1200 stimulus checks which perhaps have been delayed because Trump had to put his name on them. I mean is it really necessary to see his name on the check to know who it’s from? Aren’t we gonna know when it bounces? —Bill Maher

President Trump this morning cited differences of opinions on the Iran nuclear deal as motivation for firing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. You see, Tillerson thinks the Iran nuclear deal is necessary for global stability. While Trump thinks Iran is Iraq. --Seth Meyers

Does anyone know where my Paw Patrol slippers are? (Helter sorry)

December 2021

“According to newly released records, Donald Trump Jr. texted then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows during January’s Capitol attack, urging him to make President Trump condemn the violence. Then he texted again, saying, ‘Fine, I’ll tell him myself — just give me his number.’” —Seth Meyers

“Yeah, Trump ignored the advice of those closest to him and also Don Jr.” —Jimmy Fallon

“And then this text: He said, ‘Dad, you have to stop this right now.’ He wrote back, ‘Who is this?’” —Jimmy Kimmel

“You cannot give Don that number. It’s too risky — he might give it to Eric.” —Stephen Colbert

“Don Jr. texted Meadows, asking him to do something. Meanwhile, Eric Trump texted, ‘Does anyone know where my Paw Patrol slippers are?’” —James Corden

“Now clearly, Don Jr.’s texts didn’t work, which honestly I’m kind of glad about because the only thing worse than an insurrection would have been to thank Don Jr. for stopping the insurrection.” —Trevor Noah

“Of course, Don Jr. has spent the last 11 months praising his father’s lack of action. And Eric — his son, Eric Trump, didn’t send any texts at all. He did not text Mark Meadows, because, well, in fairness he was stuck in a claw machine at a Dave & Buster’s in Silver Spring.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“Donald Trump Jr., texted Mark Meadows, ‘We need an Oval Office address, he has to lead now.’ OK, that reveals two things about Don Jr. One, he knew his dad was responsible and failing to lead, and two, he does not have his father’s cell phone number.” —Stephen Colbert

“These Fox News hosts pushed the big election lie for months leading up to January 6th. And then when their obedient viewers stormed the Capitol, they acted all surprised. It reminds me of Charles Manson’s statement after he was arrested: ‘They did what?! I was kidding. Helter sorry.’” —Stephen Colbert

your biggest accomplishment is most family members pardoned (he accidentally glanced at a picture of Kate Upton)

December 2020

“It’s not a great look for your presidency when your biggest accomplishment is ‘most family members pardoned.’” —Jimmy Fallon

“It’s pretty crazy, the last person who needed pardons for their whole family was Charles Manson.” —Jimmy Fallon

“Some families get each other sweaters for Christmas, the Trumps get pardons.” —Jimmy Fallon

“Yep, Trump said he wants to focus on taking care of his loved ones, those closest to him, and Eric.” —Jimmy Fallon

“Meanwhile, Mike Pence is also asking for a pardon, for the time he accidentally glanced at a picture of Kate Upton.” —Jimmy Fallon

“Usually presidents grant pardons after they’ve been vetted very carefully by the Justice Department. Trump is shooting them out of a T-shirt cannon right now.” —Jimmy Kimmel

They’re going to make so many documentaries about me (underwater numbers)

In a new interview, President Trump predicted he would pass Richard Nixon for most appearances on the cover of Time magazine. Hey, dude, do you know WHY Nixon was on the cover so many times? “They’re going to make so many documentaries about me. I’ll bet I even pass Charles Manson.” –Seth Meyers

It’s more like Charlie Manson applying for parole

"There's a big fight in the Republican Party between Chris Christie and Rand Paul. In an effort to end the spat, Paul offered to have a beer with Christie. But Christie refused. Christie said, 'It's going to take a lot more than a beer to win me over. You're going to need wings, stuffed potato skins, tater tots, ribs, onion rings – I need the whole deal." –Jay Leno



"The Republicans in Congress voted to repeal ObamaCare for a fortieth time today. It’s really now less a governing philosophy; it’s more like Charlie Manson applying for parole." –Bill Maher

"The Pope said gay Catholics should not be marginalized. He said, 'Who am I to judge them?' I think it's like anything else, when you get to know gay people they don't come off as gay, they come off as people. You stop being anti-gay. And who has more gay friends and coworkers than a Pope?" –Bill Maher
