they’re just going to spend it on a tank called the De-Escalator 4000 (Gary! Cut that sh*t out!)

“After weeks of sustained protests against anti-black racism and police brutality across America, Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday to curb police violence. But before you get excited … don’t, as the order doesn’t do much. For example, the order promises federal grants to departments for training and certification courses. I’m pretty sure the chant is defund the police. If you give them more funding, they’re just going to spend it on a tank called the De-Escalator 4000.” —Stephen Colbert

“Meanwhile, the Trump campaign continues to plan for its rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this weekend, despite the public health risk of coronavirus and an editorial from the Tulsa World declaring ‘this is the wrong time and Tulsa is the wrong place for the Trump rally.’ Well, you know what they say: two wrongs make a rallyful of whites.” —Stephen Colbert

“Trump once again downplayed the use of excessive force by police to a ‘tiny’ number of officers, but, I mean, if bad cops were a minor problem, you wouldn’t have huge protests in every city. You’d just be able to point at the bad cop and be like ‘hey, Gary! Cut that shit out!’” —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.”
