just because they’re cutting off your food and want to cut off your health insurance, that doesn’t mean they don’t care (Trust Me)

The government shutdown, now the longest in US history is at 37 days. Trump has been desperately trying to convince anyone who will listen that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown and that it has nothing to do with him trying to hide the Epstein files. The gaslighting has reached a fever pitch, as Trump cuts off the supply of food to children, families, senior citizens, etc.

The Republican House speaker, Mike Johnson, wants you to know: just because they’re cutting off your food and want to cut off your health insurance, that doesn’t mean they don’t care.

As Johnson told reporters: “Every hardworking American in any place that’s missed a paycheck, anyone who has been made to suffer … anyone who is hurting, you have a home in the Republican party.”

Yes, you have a home in the Republican party! You’ll be living under the stairs like Harry Potter and you’re not allowed in the fridge, but you do have a home. —Jimmy Kimmel

The government shutdown, is now the longest in US history at 38 days. The shutdown has already wreaked havoc on air travel, and that havoc is about to get even reekier, as air traffic controllers aren’t being paid and many aren’t showing up to work. So many, in fact, that the Federal Aviation Administration has directed airlines to cut 10% of their flights at the busiest airports. So unfortunately it may be time to try your new favorite airline: the bus. If you’re traveling for Thanksgiving, you might want to leave now. —Stephen Colbert

Joe Biden gets a pair of running shoes and a can of pepper spray (a moment of silence followed by hours of laughter)

June 2013

"President Obama is not in Ireland for the big G-8 summit. Security for the overseas presidential trip is unbelievable. He has 14 limousines, trucks loaded with sheets of bullet proof glass to cover the hotel windows, and fighter jets flying in shifts. That's to protect the president. Joe Biden gets a pair of running shoes and a can of pepper spray." –Jay Leno

"This day marks the 42nd anniversary of the war on drugs. Today our partners in Mexico observed it with a moment of silence followed by hours of laughter." –Jay Leno

And if that sounds like a good excuse to you, try it on your girlfriend (shot gunning Red Bull and watching Yosemite Sam cartoons)

October 2012

"Mitt Romney on Tuesday once again tried to distance himself from his infamous 47 percent comments, saying, 'the words that came out were not what I meant.' And if that sounds like a good excuse to you, try it on your girlfriend." –Seth Meyers

"In an interview Wednesday Mitt Romney, who had previously stated he would not introduce legislation limiting abortion, vowed that he would still be a 'pro-life president.' Which makes sense because Romney defines 'life' as anybody making over 250,000 dollars a year." –Seth Meyers

"Congressman Ryan prepared for Thursday's debate by studying policy and holding practice debates, and I think Biden prepared by shot gunning Red Bull and watching Yosemite Sam cartoons." –Seth Meyers

"During Thursday's debate Vice President Biden repeatedly criticized Paul Ryan's statements calling them a 'bunch of stuff.' In fairness, 'a bunch of stuff' is the entire text of the Romney/Ryan economic plan." –Seth Meyers

Socialism/nuclear wedgie/Not exactly a Jack Bauer moment

"The big news today! American forces have killed Pavarrati. They finally got him. He was face down in a bowl of fettucini alfredo. Actually, they killed that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the man who ran the al Qaeda in Iraq. In lieu of flowers, the Zarqawi family's asking that you send deodorant." --Jimmy Kimmel

"The Air Force dropped two 500 pound bombs on him and just to be sure, they swooped down and gave him a nuclear wedgie." --Jimmy Kimmel

"A federal air marshall has been suspended from his job after appearing on the TV show, '20/20,' to complain that the government isn't doing enough to protect the identity of air marshals. He went on TV to complain that the government was not keeping his identity a secret. Not exactly a Jack Bauer moment." --Jay Leno
