Or, as Trump puts it, ‘promises made, promises kept’ (Caution, run as fast as you can!)

“While Trump keeps trying to lure us out of safety, health experts are warning of dire consequences if we do. Dr. Rick Bright, a former health department official who filed a whistleblower complaint claiming he was fired because of his opposition to Trump’s support of hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus treatment. (It’s unproven and could have lethal side-effects). On Thursday, Bright warned Congress about reopening too early, and recalled the dark moment when he realized America was in ‘deep shit’ after a supplier told him they had run out of masks. Yes, thanks to poor planning, America is in deep shit. Or, as Trump puts it, ‘promises made, promises kept’.” —Stephen Colbert

“Dr. Bright’s testimony echoed that of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who warned Congress earlier this week that Americans should be cautious in reopening schools and other businesses to avoid another crippling outbreak. Nevertheless, Trump told Fox Business Network on Thursday morning that ‘we have to get the schools open, we have to get our country open now. We want to do it safely, but we also want to do it as quickly as possible.’ And as we know, the way to do something safely is to do it as quickly as possible. That’s why custodians put up those floor signs: ‘Caution, run as fast as you can!’” —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.”
