we’re looking very strongly into it (Like how bad is their aim?)

“Some of the Trump administration’s lame-duck actions, include adding 10 more oral questions to the civics test for US citizenship. This isn’t fair – how’s Trump going to create a citizenship test that even he himself couldn’t pass? He may as well make immigrants do a pull-up. But if Trump is going to expand the civics test, I think it’s only fair to let applicants answer the questions the way he answers the questions. A question on the Stamp Act of 1765, for example, could be answered, ‘That’s a good question, man, because nobody knows the Stamp Act better than me. So many stamps, some say the greatest stamp act there ever was, really. If you think about it, but we’re looking very strongly into it.’” —Trevor Noah

“Meanwhile, Trump’s justice department has rushed to expand the list of approved methods for executions, including firing squad and electrocution. One thing I’ve never understood about firing squads is, why do you need a whole squad? Like how bad is their aim that they need eight people to shoot at you. This is America – one person can kill 30 people in a minute with a gun. You don’t need eight people to kill one person.” —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.”
