Those toddlers are going to lose their teeth anyways (Steal Team Dicks)

December 2021

“Let’s examine the behavior of congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio, who the day before the insurrection texted Meadows with a plan to prevent the legitimate winner of the election, Joe Biden, from taking office. ‘On January 6, 2021, Vice-President Mike Pence, as president of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all.’ Jordan has said he forwarded the message written by Joseph Schmitz, a former US defense department inspector general who outlined a ‘draft proposal’ to pressure Pence to refuse to certify the election results, and that Meadows knew the message was forwarded. Well, so what? That’s not a defense. That’s like saying, ‘I didn’t cook the meth, I just sold it at the Gymboree. Those toddlers are going to lose their teeth anyways.’” —Stephen Colbert

“There was a months-long campaign of subversion by half a dozen Republican lawmakers, including Jordan, Scott Perry, Paul Gosar, Louie Gohmert, Mo Brooks and Andy Biggs. The Steal Team Dicks fomented distrust over the election result and planned to derail the symbolic certification of the election before the insurrection thwarted the vote. So they were ready to reject the delegates, seize the ballots and overturn the election, but they were interrupted by the out-of-control mob their lies had created. It reminds me of the words of founding father Benjamin Frankenstein: ‘I’m hearing reports it was Antifa who destroyed the village!’” —Stephen Colbert

“China is building up influence in Africa through binding investments. In recent years, China has pumped money into the continent with large infrastructure projects funded by China’s Export Import bank. That’s right, baby, China has been making it rain in Africa. It’s the most money anyone has sent to Africa without being guilt-tripped by a celebrity singalong. The funding is presented as no strings attached, since China doesn’t care about your government, or human rights, or anything. They’re basically the cool mom of international finance. ‘Oh, you and your friends, you want to come party this weekend? Well, come to our basement with your child soldiers, we didn’t hear a thing!’” —Trevor Noah
