“Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 38%, according to the latest CNN poll, and the president is ‘desperate to turn things around’, to the point where he’s reportedly considered delivering a speech to the nation on race and unity. Yes, they’re considering it – a heroic contemplation of the possibility of leadership. It reminds me of Dr King’s immortal words: ‘I’m thinking about having a dream.’” —Stephen Colbert
“While Trump contemplated, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden spoke up, delivering a moving virtual eulogy for George Floyd at a memorial service in Houston on Tuesday. You see, President Trump? It’s possible to bring people to tears at church without having to release pepper spray. And the Vice-President did the one thing that the President fears the most: Biden didn’t mention the name Donald Trump once. Let’s hope very soon, we can all do the same.” —Stephen Colbert
“It makes sense that Trump doesn’t get it. He’s like a lot of soft-brained 73-year-old men who watch nothing but Fox News. Tucker Carlson is arguing on Fox News that America is ‘not a racist country.’ Right, but didn’t you want to build a wall to keep those immigrants out of … oh, nevermind. He’s right! America’s fine, we have no problems at all. Those people marching in the streets? They’re just getting exercise.” —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.”
