they’re wrapping up all the story arcs at once (industrial quantities of crystal meth)


“Some shocking news is that former Trump adviser and human pimple Steve Bannon was arrested on Thursday morning for allegedly skimming over $1m from ‘We Build the Wall’, an online fundraising campaign for the president’s proposed border wall with Mexico. 

It’s been a brutal six months, so I’m gonna mainline some schadenfreude. This news, is the perfect encapsulation of the Trump era. From beginning to end, the wall was a non-stop scam. Trump scammed his supporters by telling them Mexico would pay for it, then we ended up paying for it. 

Then this baked potato Fabio over here – a sunburned Bannon – said he’d pay for it, then he scammed everyone again by allegedly skimming money from it. It’s a Russian nesting doll of fraud. Even funnier is the fact that Bannon was arrested on a luxury yacht off the coast of Connecticut by federal officials and agents from the US Postal Inspection Service. 

Think about how perfect this is: the same public agency Trump is currently trying to destroy, one of the most cherished public institutions in America, arrested his former campaign manager for allegedly skimming money from a fundraiser for their scam border wall. 

And given that Bannon’s arrest occurred two days after a Senate intelligence report confirmed that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort shared sensitive campaign data with a Russian intelligence official, it’s like the end of the summer TV season and they’re wrapping up all the story arcs at once.” —Seth Meyers

Because if a single human proves that America is asking for it, you're looking at him (You gotta believe in video tape)

 "You gotta love Sarah Palin. She is now on her website asking her idiot fan base for donations for her to help make a decision about whether or not to run. She wants money now for just thinking? What a grifter." –Bill Maher

"Sarah Palin's doppelganger, Michele Bachmann, they asked her at the debate about the HPV vaccine, which she said was potentially dangerous. She said, 'I didn't make that claim, nor did I make that statement. Which she obviously did, we have it. It's one thing to say you don't believe in evolution, you don't believe in global warming. But videotape? You gotta believe in video tape." –Bill Maher

"The next time you hear anyone say 'job creator,' I want you to picture [The Situation from Jersey Shore]. Yes, The Situation made $5 million dollars last year, and if he has to pay a little more in taxes, it won't mean he's creating fewer jobs. It will mean a tiny fraction of his money actually pays for the government that works to keep him alive. The EPA that contains his oil runoff. The Postal Service that delivers his body wax. The Bureau of Weights and Measures who weigh his dumbbells. The Centers for Disease Control that provides a steady supply of penicillin. And the military, who keep the Taliban away. Because if a single human proves that America is asking for it, you're looking at him." –Bill Maher

I won’t rig an election in secret ever again/my cold dead hands/yep, that's what it says


August 2020

“I’ve never seen a villain give away a plan like that without seeing James Bond tied to a chair in front of him.” —Trevor Noah


“Trump got impeached for trying to secretly rig the election and his response is to go, [as Trump] ‘I learned my lesson. I won’t rig an election in secret ever again.’” —Trevor Noah


“Establishing post offices is in the Constitution. Congress needs to stand firm and protect the United States Postal Service with the same fervor the right uses to defend guns. What I am saying is you can have my sister-in-law’s Christmas newsletter when you pry it from my cold dead hands.” —Stephen Colbert

it’s time to put grandpa down for his nap/Greed of the Nobles/We don’t even have pants!

 “OK, Trump just admitted that he’s not agreeing to a deal to fund the Postal Service because he doesn’t want mail-in voting to be possible for the election. Trump’s like one of those movie villains who spends so much time explaining his plan out loud that the good guy manages to shimmy out of his handcuffs.” —Jimmy Fallon


“Postal workers were like, ‘How much less funding can you give us? We don’t even have pants!’” —Jimmy Fallon


“Millions of Americans wrote Trump angry letters about it, but he was like, ‘Weird, I didn’t get anything.’” —Jimmy Fallon


“Usually when an old man starts accusing people of stealing the mail, it’s time to put grandpa down for his nap.” —Jimmy Fallon
