“Someone dust off Dolph Lundgren and get him hunting for Red October because the Cold War is back on, baby, and this time we’re gonna waterboard Billy Joel until he tells us who started the fire. Putin is famous for being a killer. It’s kind of his thing, along with horses and nipples.” —Stephen Colbert
“He’s killed so many people that in 2017, The Washington Post was able to publish a list of 10 critics of Vladimir Putin who died violently or in suspicious ways. His greatest hits are hits.” —Stephen Colbert
“Over two months after the siege of the US Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, injuring 100 officers and killing one, the House voted on Wednesday to award congressional gold medals to Capitol police who defended the building and the lawmakers inside. It was a rare bipartisan vote to honor the men and women who protected our democracy. Nobody could ever oppose that – except for the 12 Republicans who opposed that. Eleven white men and the QAnon follower Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia – who objected to the use of the term ‘insurrectionists’ to describe the rioters as the legion of dumb. OK, you don’t like insurrectionist — how about ‘neck-beard fascist neo-Confederate tiny penis treason-humpers?’ These congressmen are a bunch of cowards. The mob came to kill them, and now they’re worried that calling them insurrectionists might hurt their feelings?” —Stephen Colbert
