“This is the GOP’s con: slow down mail service, limit the number of drop boxes, then claim ballots that arrive late are invalid,” added Meyers. The Texas governor, Greg Abbott, for example, limited ballot drop-off boxes to one per county, while Republicans in Pennsylvania tried to block the processing of mail-in ballots before election day. Basically, if Republicans had their way, there would be exactly one ballot drop-box for the entire country, somewhere in the Mojave desert, and you’d only be able to use it on odd-numbered days between the hours of 3 and 4am, after crossing a bridge and answering three riddles from Rudy Giuliani.” —Seth Meyers
“If you looked at the recent Covid news, you might want to Purell your eyeballs. Because it’s clear that this virus is going everywhere, fast, especially in states critical for a Trump re-election. This is how bad it is: while it took our country three months for the first 500,000 cases, the US is reporting 500,000 new cases in just the past week. Clearly, we’re a long way from ending the Covid-19 pandemic. On the other hand, yesterday a new White House press release announced that one of Trump’s biggest accomplishments is ‘ending the Covid-19 pandemic’. The press release, intended to highlight the Trump administration’s ‘accomplishments’ in the realm of science at a time when the US is hitting single-day records for Covid cases, is clearly insane. At this point, Trump isn’t just Nero fiddling while Rome burns; he’s Nero sending out a press release that says ‘you’re not on fire!’” —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.”
