You know things are going south when even Mike Pompeo considers doing the right thing (Well done, Billy, well done)

November 2021

“Yesterday, President Biden signed his bipartisan infrastructure bill into law, and to tell everyone about it today, he kicked off a road show to showcase the benefits of the bill. It’s like ‘The Antiques Road Show’ if the road was the antique.” — Stephen Colbert

“And, guys, why do they have to sign the bill in public? I mean, I know this is important legislation, but as a spectator sport, it’s pretty boring. Where’s the drama? ‘Ooh, maybe the pen will run out of ink!’” —Trevor Noah

“Also, why are they even having a bill-signing celebration? Passing laws is their job. Nobody else gets to do that at their job. Like, after you make photocopies for your boss at the office, you don’t get to pose for pictures while shaking hands: [imitating boss] ‘I didn’t think you could get it double-sided. Well done, Billy, well done.’” —Trevor Noah

“In Jonathan Karl’s book Betrayal, Karl claimed that in the wake of the Capitol attack on January 6th, Trump cabinet members Mike Pompeo and Steve Mnuchin explored invoking the 25th amendment to remove him from office. You know things are going south when even Mike Pompeo considers doing the right thing.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“Pompeo reportedly asked for an analysis of the 25th amendment and how it would work. He was very careful about it, he went to the White House legal department like ‘hey I have this friend … you don’t know him, anyway he was thinking about invoking the 25th amendment? And he was wondering, like, how that all works? And would his name be on it?’” —Jimmy Kimmel

and Orwell’s 1984.”
