“The host then checked in on a tight Senate race in Ohio between Tim Ryan and Republican JD Vance, the Hillbilly Elegy author who shifted from Trump critic to acolyte for his endorsement – so much so that Trump said at a rally last month, ‘JD is kissing my ass, he wants my support so much.’ JD, if you want to do that, you’re going to have to squeeze in next to Lindsey Graham. Those two are like a couple of puppies fighting over a teat.” —Stephen Colbert
“In a recent debate, no one made JD Vance look more out of touch than JD Vance. Just look at Vance’s comments on federal decriminalization of marijuana: ‘We have to be careful here not to be soft on crime, because a lot of times you’ll hear somebody thrown in prison for smoking a joint. If you look at the underlying charge, you’ll see that it wasn’t just that they smoked a joint. It’s that they smoked a joint and beat an elderly woman over the head with a pistol.’ Oh yeah, a lot of times you read that. I read that every day! I mean, marijuana famously leads to all kinds of violent crime – grand theft nacho, reckless engigglement, conspiracy to commit to a whole season of Planet Earth.” —Stephen Colbert

and Orwell’s 1984.”
