“Sometimes you feel like Donald Trump is corrupting all of the democratic institutions that we hold dear. Well, I’ve got some good news for you: you’re not crazy to feel that way. The latest example was Trump crony and man voted Best Dressed at Nuremberg, Roger Stone, who was convicted of seven felonies last year and recommended by federal prosecutors for a prison sentence of seven to nine years. But even that lighter sentence did not sit well with Stone’s old pal Donald Trump. By some impossible coincidence – how it could it be?! – it was then announced that the justice department will take the extraordinary step of lowering the recommended prison time for Roger Stone. So Donald Trump and his attorney general are using the justice department to go easy on his cronies. The only difference between this and a banana republic is that Trump does not eat fruit.” —Stephen Colbert
“As a protest against Trump’s carriage of misjustice, all four of Roger Stone’s prosecutors resigned. That’s right, they all walked. It must not have been easy for them to find the exits, since Bill Barr has relocated the Department of Justice up Trump’s ass.” —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.”
