Easy Big Fella, all I did was ask your name (It felt like the last big bash before the Epstein files come out)

“There are so many bad parts of a government shutdown, but the worst so far is that as of this weekend, nearly 42 million Americans have lost their food stamp benefits. No one should understand the importance of daily meals more than Donald Trump. Hungry is his favorite emotion. It’s his whole thing – Trump and food is like JFK and sex, or Thomas Jefferson and sex, or Lincoln and his hat, which he had sex with.” —Stephen Colbert

Trump’s “disapproval rating” is 63%. And what do you do when you have a terrible approval rating? You throw the most ill-timed, tone-deaf Halloween party imaginable, A Great Gatsby party. You know, throwing a party at your private golf club where the theme is rich white people hours before millions of Americans are set to lose their food assistance might be the Trumpiest Trump move of all time. It felt like the last big bash before the Epstein files come out. —Jimmy Kimmel

Republicans are still claiming that there was no Jan. 6 this year (Hey, bro, wanna hang this weekend?)

May 2021

“OK, first of all, describing it as people without firearms coming into a building leaves out a lot of crucial context. It’s like writing a book report about ‘The Great Gatsby’ that says, ‘Man Enjoys Summer in the Hamptons.’ Also, it’s a lie — there were weapons, as the Justice Department, reporters and video have all documented. But even if that statement were true, it’s not very comforting. If a group of criminals breaks into your house with some baseball bats, smashes all your belongings and steals all your money, it wouldn’t exactly make you feel better if the cops were, like: ‘Hey, there are worse things in life. Eric Trump’s out there just hugging people in the street.’” —Seth Meyers

“The House voted today on legislation to create an independent commission tasked with investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, while House Republicans are still claiming that there was no Jan. 6 this year.” —Seth Meyers

“One person I was surprised to learn voted ‘no’ on this measure was Indiana Representative Greg Pence, who is Mike Pence’s own brother. Certainly changes the meaning of this text from Greg: ‘Hey, bro, wanna hang this weekend?’” —Stephen Colbert

“It’s important to remember that a mob of morons didn’t just materialize out of nowhere. People encouraged and inspired these morons. And they made security decisions that allowed these morons to break into what should be the most secure place in America – I mean, aside from wherever Ariana Grande held her wedding. Which is why many people in Congress are saying it’s important to investigate how this happened. Trump, unsurprisingly, decried the commission as ‘unbalanced’ and called for an investigation into Black Lives Matter protests in cities across the country last summer. Is Trump really trying to ‘all riots matter’ this commission?” —Trevor Noah
