I’d like a second opinion! (he looks less grim this year)

December 2020

“Trump also promised, without evidence, that Covid infection rates in the US will ‘skyrocket downward’. Ah, yes, that classic symbol of success: a rocket in the sky, plummeting toward the ground. It’s like they say: shoot for the moon – if you miss, you will die alone in a frozen metal tube.” —Stephen Colbert

“Meanwhile, the president once again tried to overturn the election with two phone calls to the Republican speaker of Pennsylvania’s house of representatives, days after he pressured Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp to convene a special legislative session to override the state’s election results (Kemp declined). Come on, man, at a certain point you have to understand that it is over! There’s a reason you don’t see headstones that say, ‘I’d like a second opinion!’” —Stephen Colbert

“It’s horrifying, but at this point, no one should be surprised. Say what you will, but at least the president called. It’s so much more personal than destroying democracy by text.” —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.”
