“Donald Trump is saying he would have handled Afghanistan and the Taliban differently than Joe Biden. Does Trump think if he’s nice to the Taliban, they’ll hang out with him? [imitating Trump] ‘Great fighters, great negotiators, and great, great golfers. Abdul Ghani Baradar, horrible guy, but I saw him eagle a par five from the rough. We played in a foursome with Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau. And you wanna talk about warring factions, those two do not like each other!’” —Seth Meyers
“I mean, thank god this idiot wasn’t the chief of police in San Francisco during the Zodiac killings. [imitating Trump] ‘Bad guy, nasty guy, but you’ve got to give him credit for one thing: beautiful, beautiful penmanship.’” —Seth Meyers
“And finally, as part of their new fall menu, Starbucks has added a new drink, the apple crisp macchiato. In response, the pumpkin spice latte was like, ‘Oh, it’s on.’” —Jimmy Fallon
“In order to claim that what’s happening in Afghanistan right now came out of nowhere, you have to willfully ignore or erase 20 years of history. The Washington elite repeatedly lied about how the war was going, which is exactly what so many in the media, and especially the rightwing ghouls who got us into this mess – the Karl Roves, the John Boltons of the world – have been doing. Then there is Fox News contributor Kayleigh McEnany, who appeared on the network on Tuesday and made it clear she’s fully inhabiting an alternate reality. McEnany excoriated Biden for his handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and added: ‘When Trump was president, you didn’t see crisis after crisis. I shudder to think about what Covid would’ve been like under Biden.’ Well she’s right about one thing: you didn’t see crisis after crisis if you were watching Fox. More than 400,000 Americans died from Covid under Trump. Also, he got it and his rallies and White House parties were super-spreader events. Trump personally helped spread more disease to more people than a community swimming pool filled with water from the East River.” —Seth Meyers

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night
of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
