As several states began tentative, and risky, reopening measures, Donald Trump held a town hall at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday night exclusively for Fox News – which makes sense, because Trump is constantly either in a state of watching Fox or appearing on Fox or watching himself appearing on Fox. Eventually Fox is just going to turn into a 24/7 feed of Trump watching himself on Fox like an infinity mirror.” —Seth Meyers
Trump’s town hall was billed as ‘America Together: Returning to Work’, and Trump not only thought that the returning to work would happen soon, he thought this disaster might actually make things better. Trump promised: ‘You’re going to get another job, but you’re going to get a better job. You’ll get a job where you make more money, frankly, and I think that’s going to happen.’ Really? A better job, with more money? So it’s kinda good that you ignored the virus? (Colbert as Trump) ‘I think this is gonna be even better because the pigs that just flew out of my butt told me they’re hiring, so that’s a positive.’ —Stephen Colbert
At a shutdown protest at the Michigan Capital Building, two white female protesters badgered police officers and white men with rifles prowled the statehouse. Now, I’m sure a lot of these people probably saw this video and said to themselves, ‘man, if black people were holding guns and shouting at the police, that protest would end badly.’ But guys, please, that’s not true – the protest wouldn’t have ended badly. There wouldn’t have been a protest, because all the black people would’ve been pulled over on the way there.” —Trevor Noah
“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.”
