Mexicans watching Americans climbing over a wall (a paper shredder on top of a toilet)

“What’s going to be interesting is who they pick for this job, because the judge gave each side until Friday to submit a list of suggestions together. I guess the judge is hoping that they’ll overlap? Such common ground will be difficult, given that the Department of Justice is gonna submit the names of former attorney generals and FBI directors, and the list from Trump’s side is going to be Jared Kushner, the Hamburglar, and a paper shredder on top of a toilet.” —Trevor Noah

“Once again, Donald Trump has exposed a part of America that I’m willing to bet nobody knew existed, that after watching 10 million hours of Law and Order he’d still never heard of a special master. Once again, thanks to Trump, because of his hard work and dedication to doing crimes, we’ve all learned something new today.” —Trevor Noah

That’s like if the head ref of the Super Bowl was Tom Brady’s dad (And you can keep the gun)

“Turns out, stashing top-secret government documents in the basement of your country club is, to use some technical jargon, super illegal.” —Stephen Colbert

“Given the national security implications of the documents, most legal scholars assumed a federal judge wouldn’t do anything to hinder the investigation by the justice department. But on Monday, federal judge Aileen Cannon granted Trump’s request for an independent ‘special master’ to sort relevant documents from those protected by attorney-client privilege, and barred the justice department from using the seized materials until that work is done. You know the old saying: ‘Justice delayed is just what he wants cuz he just needs time to shred the evidence.’ Cannon’s order also instructs the special master to look out specifically for documents potentially shielded by executive privilege. But he’s not the executive any more! Joe Biden is. So he doesn’t have any privilege here. That’s like saying to a bad cop, ‘All right, you’re fired. Gimme your badge and your gun but you can keep the car because we know you love the siren. And you can keep the gun.’” —Stephen Colbert

“This decision is bonkers. So why is Judge Cannon going so far out on this very, very stupid legal limb? I don’t know, maybe because she was appointed by the former president and confirmed just days after the presidential election in 2020. So she’s a brand-new judge, who was hand-picked by the guy doing the crimes to preside over the jurisdiction that includes the place where he was committing the crimes. That’s like if the head ref of the Super Bowl was Tom Brady’s dad.” —Stephen Colbert

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

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
