When you’re a star, they let you do it! (Nothing fishy about that)

January 2021

“We’re off to a fresh start in 2021, with a raging pandemic and a president who’s trying to steal the election.” —Stephen Colbert

“Turns out 2020 is dropping some bonus tracks, as on Sunday the Washington Post released a recording of a phone call between the president and Georgia’s secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, who oversaw the state’s election, recount and recount of the recount. During the hour-long call, which took place on Saturday, Trump explicitly demanded Raffensperger ‘find’ 11,000 votes to overturn Biden’s victory in the state, invoked numerous conspiracy theories, and threatened criminal charges against Raffensperger if he did not assist the president in his attempt to nullify the election. Buckle up everybody, because this call is like if Watergate and the Ukraine scandal had a baby that they made on the Access Hollywood bus. When you’re a star, they let you do it!” —Stephen Colbert

“That’s all he wants. He just wants them to ‘find’ exactly how many votes he needs to win by one. Nothing fishy about that.” — Stephen Colbert

“It sounds like he’s trying to get someone to hook him up with a free refill of Dr Pepper, not a presidential election.” —James Corden

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s The Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
