I bet he feels like he just won a Soul Train award (See, this is what happens when Oprah gets high)

“Just when you think you’ve seen Donald Trump at his Trumpiest, he shows up at a funeral and sets a new world record for ridiculousness. That new record was set at a memorial service for Lynette Hardaway, AKA Diamond of Diamond and Silk, two well-known Trump superfans. Over a hundred mourners gathered to hear the former president wax poetic about one of his most loyal fans, and he almost did. He almost spoke about her. Instead, for 44 minutes, Trump rambled about NAFTA, tax cuts, crowd size, illegal immigration, the election, why they don’t put Melania on magazine covers any more, and bragged about how The Apprentice was the No. 1 show on television. Basically, this speech had all the sincerity and grace you could possibly expect from the man who buried the mother of his children at the 16th hole of his golf course. And the crazy thing is I bet he thinks it went great. I bet he feels like he just won a Soul Train award.” —Jimmy Kimmel

I bet he feels like he just won a Soul Train award (These do not spark joy)

“The new batch of classified documents found at Biden’s Delaware residence isn’t great for Biden. He shouldn’t have had those documents. But the revelations have led to some very silly punditry claiming that Biden is somehow in the same position as Donald Trump. They’re like two guys who got pulled over for erratic driving. Biden immediately rolls down the window, hands over his license and registration, passes the breathalyzer and says sorry officer but in my defense, even stone-cold sober I do this. Trump, on the other hand, is the guy who refuses to pull over, gets chased down, goes over those one-way spikes in the parking lot, blows out his tire, drives for another mile on sparking rims, crashes into a duck pond, gives cocaine and a gun to a duck and says ‘if anyone asks, this is yours.’ Tries to swim away even though the pond is shallow enough to stand, gets to the other side where the police are waiting for him and says, ‘Oh, I didn’t realize I was living in Soviet Russia.’” —Seth Meyers

Printing Money to Fund Wars (even Matt Damon couldn’t ruin it)

“Actually, Universal, the studio that made ‘Cats,’ pulled the movie from Oscar contention, which is always funny. They probably didn’t need to do that. That’s like Mike Pence pulling out of contention for a ‘Soul Train’ award — it’s unnecessary.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“I’m glad that at least one black woman was nominated for best actress. Congratulations, Cynthia Erivo, that’s exciting. Although it was kind of predictable it was for playing a slave. Yeah. I’m not saying she didn’t deserve it, but just imagine if every white actor who was nominated got it for playing a supervisor at Whole Foods, huh? White people, you’re more than just that!” —Trevor Noah

“And maybe the most surprising best picture nominee was ‘Ford v Ferrari.’ This is a movie that was apparently so good even Matt Damon couldn’t ruin it.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“This surprised a lot of people, though: ‘Frozen 2’ didn’t get nominated for best animated feature. The producer was like, ‘If one more person texts me “Let it go,” I am going to snap.’” —Jimmy Fallon

“It is Mormon in America again. What a week Mitt Romney had. He won Florida. It looks like he’s on the way to the nomination. If only he could stop talking.” –Bill Maher 

“I think I can prove that Mitt Romney is the whitest man ever because he won Florida, became the undisputed front runner and then the next day, the host of Soul Train killed himself.” –Bill Maher 

“The working girls from the Bunny Ranch Brothel are showing up at Ron Paul rallies because he’s a libertarian. What a strange world it is when a presidential candidate can accept an endorsement from a whore...but enough about Romney and Donald Trump.” –Bill Maher



“Pfizer recalled a million birth control pills. Nothing wrong with them, except they won’t stop you from getting pregnant. Or as the Palin family calls them, Skittles.” –Bill Maher
