Or, as I like to refer to it, ‘America’s Got Treason.’ (They're Coming for Your P*nis!)

June 2022

“The January 6th committee hearings will be televised beginning this Thursday — or, as I like to refer to it, ‘America’s Got Treason.’” —Stephen Colbert

“Let’s poke some fun at CNN, which is, according to an internal memo, stepping back from overhyping everything as ‘breaking news’. Which means overhyping everything is now up for grabs, so we have breaking news. Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you shocked and terrified to report that what I am saying right now means nothing. It is all a false sense of urgency created to keep you captivated long enough to get to the next Lipitor commercial.” —Stephen Colbert

“The cable news network, which recently hired the Late Show showrunner Chris Licht to replace its ousted chief executive, Jeff Zucker, plans to cut back on the breaking news graphic because ‘its impact has become lost on the audience’ and CNN should be focused on ‘informing, not alarming’ viewers. And with CNN out of the game they’ll leave plenty of alarming for the folks over at Fox News. In fact, they are now counter-programming with Tucker Carlson’s new show Look Out! Gay Immigrants Are Coming for Your Penis!” —Stephen Colbert

“Louie Gohmert, the Republican congressman from Texas who spoke out against the indictment of former Trump adviser Peter Navarro by complaining Republicans can’t lie to Congress or the F.B.I. Gohmert is upset because some of his fellow Republicans are getting hit with contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with the committee investigating the insurrection on January 6th, and what he’s upset is they’re not even allowed to lie about it. At least he’s not lying about how upset he is about not being allowed to lie, I guess. Small victory. This statement used to be the kind of thing that could ruin a person’s political career, but now that we’ve been MAGA-tized it barely even makes a dent.” — Jimmy Kimmel

She’s a snowflake and a sociopath at the same time — a ‘snowciopath.’ (to make the rest of them seem normal)

April 2022

“Marjorie Taylor Greene, remember, she is the one who endorsed fringe conspiracy theories and repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians. Now she’s dialing 911 because she got made fun of. She’s a snowflake and a sociopath at the same time — a ‘snowciopath.’” —Jimmy Kimmel

“And nobody does anything. I feel like maybe other Republicans like having her around to make the rest of them seem normal.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“There was a House vote to hold Trump aides Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino in criminal contempt of Congress. They join two other former Trump White House officials held in criminal contempt, Steve Bannon and former chief of staff Mark Meadows. (Bannon has been indicted and is awaiting trial.) At this point, it’s easier to list the Trump aides who aren’t in legal trouble. The vote was not without disruption; Representative Greene, AKA ‘the are you for fucking real housewife of DC’, heckled Congressman Jamie Raskin as he was speaking, like a drunk aunt at a comedy show who thinks everyone’s there to see her.” —Seth Meyers

Adult stuff, I think we can all agree, adult stuff (Kumbaya is where Trump thinks Obama was born)

“Obama’s remarks about Trump’s handling of the pandemic set off a five-alarm outrage fire over at Fox News, with talking heads predictably calling it improper and lacking decorum; one host said the speech demonstrated how Obama is ‘not all that articulate’. Look, there’s no denying Obama went out of his way to diss Trump in his speech. But I genuinely find it hilarious that Fox News – Fox News – is going to spend all day being offended about how a former president doesn’t have decorum when the current president literally interrupted a pandemic briefing to remind everybody how he boned models.” —Trevor Noah

“After former President Obama criticized the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic in a virtual commencement address to college graduates this weekend, White House adviser Peter Navarro called the Obama administration a, quote, ‘kumbaya of incompetence.’ Incidentally, Kumbaya is where Trump thinks Obama was born.” —Seth Meyers

“It’s both revealing and depressing that when Obama talks about grown-ups behaving like little children, we all know exactly who he’s talking about. I mean, there’s no mystery. Even Trump knows. It’s not like his aides went to him and said, ‘Sir, he was talking about you,’ and Trump said, ‘Moi? But I was just sitting here drawing a new logo for the Space Force. Adult stuff, I think we can all agree, adult stuff.’” —Seth Meyers

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
