I have to go on Sunday news shows to explain that I was joking (Bad Memories)

“Just standing out there and bluntly asking China for election help is a tough one for Republicans to spin. But they came up with a terrible excuse that Trump was joking about China investigating the Bidens. I just want to point out that I tell jokes for a living, and successful or not, rarely do people I work with have to go on Sunday news shows to explain that I was joking.” --Stephen Colbert

“Wow, he’s gone full god-emperor. [As Trump] ‘It is I, Donald the Great, of unmatched wisdom and infinite wives, destroyer of casinos, conqueror of 10-piece McNuggets, scourge of Chrissy Teigen, defeated only once in battle by my eternal nemesis: umbrella.’” --Stephen Colbert

“This is a complete betrayal of the Kurdish fighters who helped the U.S. defeat ISIS, and there’s only one way out of this: Kurds, you’ve got 24 hours to dig up dirt on Joe Biden.” --Stephen Colbert

“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.”

Our beliefs about the world and each other (the war with Chrissy Teigen)

“That’s right, President Trump has fired national security adviser John Bolton, and you have to appreciate the irony of John Bolton being taken out by a preemptive strike.” --Seth Meyers

“Meanwhile, back in March of 2018, John Bolton almost wasn’t hired in the first place. Apparently, ‘Mr. Trump hesitated in part because of his negative reaction to Mr. Bolton’s walrus-style mustache.’ Ironically, while Bolton is leaving, his mustache is staying on as Stephen Miller’s new hairpiece.” --Stephen Colbert

“He’s out, effective immediately. He’s gone. But his mustache will stay on for a few more weeks to tie up any loose ends.” --James Corden

“And to mark the occasion, his mustache was lowered to half mast.” --Trevor Noah

“By the way, Bolton was the third national security adviser Trump has pushed out. Honestly, it’s amazing that America’s unemployment numbers are so low considering Trump has fired half of the country.” --Trevor Noah

“Yep, Trump tweeted Bolton’s services were no longer needed and that he strongly disagreed with many of his suggestions. Bolton thought we should continue the war in Afghanistan and Trump thought we should continue the war with Chrissy Teigen.” --Jimmy Fallon

“I don’t know who to believe: the guy who lies all the time, or the other guy who lies all the time.” --James Corden

the biggest threat facing our nation/Lip Sync Battle/It’s better you hear it from a friend

“Over the weekend President Trump referred to Chrissy Teigen as Mr. Legend’s ‘filthy mouthed wife.’ That’s enough, sir! I’ve watched you denigrate countless American institutions but I draw the line at John Legend and Chrissy Teigen. He is an EGOT. EGOT! Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony. And she — she is the only reason anybody tunes into ‘Lip Sync Battle.’ I’m sorry. I’m sorry, L.L. Cool J. It’s better you hear it from a friend.” --Stephen Colbert

“Trump thinks all of television should be about him all the times. [As Mr. Trump] ‘Just watched an episode of “Property Brothers.” They redid a bathroom. Not a mention of me, even though I use bathrooms all the time. I’m in one right now. Boring Drew Scott and his filthy mouthed twin are total losers!’” --Stephen Colbert

“Of course, there have been a lot of political polls recently, and a few of them really caught my attention. I’ll show you what I mean. For example, first, when asked who’s the biggest threat facing our nation, 50 percent said Vladimir Putin, 49 percent said Kim Jong-un, and Donald Trump said Chrissy Teigen.” --Jimmy Fallon
