Is that coffee I smell? (p*rn star spanky)


On Tuesday, Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond so he could appeal his $454 million fraud judgment after a weeks-long search for someone to put up the cash. That company? Knight Specialty Insurance, which is run by CEO Don Hankey, the so-called “king of subprime car loans”. Hankey explained his reason for giving Trump the money as: “I heard that he needed a loan … and this is what we do.” Yes, this is what they do. You know their slogan: ‘Turned down by the banky? Don’t get so cranky! Call me, Don Hankey. You’ll say, why, thanky! Don, good luck with the case about the porn star spanky.’” —Stephen Colbert


Still, between the $175 million Trump put up in this case and the $91 million in the E Jean Carroll case, Trump somehow posted way less money this week than he lost on Wall Street, as Truth Social reportedly lost $4 billion in value after SEC documents revealed the social media company was hemorrhaging money. Wow, I am actually surprised that Truth Social had value. The stock opened on Tuesday at $48.66 a share, down 39% from its high of $79.38 a week ago. Truly, an historic failure. No one has seen a loss this big since the Trump Taj Mahal, the Trump Hotel, Trump steaks, Trump airlines, Trump University and Trump, Eric. —Stephen Colbert

He was asked to empty his pockets and five Republican senators fell out (We can't afford your operation)


"During the economic meltdown, employees at the SEC were using government computers to watch pornography. Ironically, while they were watching porn, the other employees were watching Goldman Sachs screw the entire country." –Jay Leno

"Last week, President Obama gave a speech in New York City about his plan to reform these rules on Wall Street, you know? And one embarrassing moment. When the head of Goldman Sachs was going through security, he was asked to empty his pockets and five Republican senators fell out." –Jay Leno

They told him her firewall had been breached, and he said, she had another baby?



"The other financial genius, John McCain, said the fundamentals of our economy are strong, and then yesterday he wanted to fire the head of the SEC -- except you can't as president fire the SEC chairman, it's a non-governmental job. Sarah Palin said today one more gaffe from McCain, and she's going to drop him from the ticket." --Bill Maher


"Can you imagine if she was president right now? They hacked into her email account. She couldn't even keep that safe. Somebody hacked into her Yahoo! email account. They don't know who did it. They know it's someone who understood technology and was interested in her background. So we can rule out McCain." –Bill Maher


"Oh, I kid John McCain. He doesn't understand this stuff too well. They told him her firewall had been breached, and he said, she had another baby?" --Bill Maher
