My name is Doug and I’m here to say, democracy was threatened in a major way (that s***s on you)

February 2021

“These senators are a jury for a trial of the president, but instead, they’re acting like bored middle schoolers. What do Democrats have to do to make this interesting for them, bring in one of those math teachers who raps everything? ‘My name is Doug and I’m here to say, democracy was threatened in a major way.’” —Trevor Noah

“I mean, if one guy stormed the Capitol because he thought you said it to him, maybe you just can blame him. But if an entire stadium of people misunderstood you in the exact same way, I don’t know, man, that [expletive] on you.” —Trevor Noah

“The US minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009 – it’s insane that America updates its Spidermen more frequently than the minimum wage. Raising the minimum wage would help 10.5 million families who rely on safety net programs such as Medicaid, Chip or Snap. Republicans love to bash these programs and claim too many people are using them, but fewer people would need assistance if their employers just paid them a living wage. It’s not fucking rocket science. Joe Biden’s plan would raise the minimum wage gradually to $15 by 2025. Think of it as minimum wage foreplay. It will take awhile to build but when it gets there, it’s fine. Regardless of what Republicans say, paying Americans fairly doesn’t soften the economy. It strengthens it, it makes it bigger – like foreplay!” —Samantha Bee

“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.”
