Or, as he calls them, mature honeys (marketing a new brand of tampon)


In an effort to attract young voters, the Kamala Harris campaign has committed to visiting over 150 college campuses. Ooh, 150, she’s trying to break Matt Gaetz’s record. I’m kidding, obviously he’d never date a college girl. Or, as he calls them, mature honeys. —Stephen Colbert

Former President Donald Trump made several comments about women over the weekend, vowing that under his presidency, he would “protect women at a level never seen before,” saying they would be “healthy, hopeful, safe and secure.” I‘m not sure if he’s running for president or marketing a new brand of tampon. —Stephen Colbert

One beer, and the only reason he even drank it was to wash down the three hits of ecstasy (It's called socialism)

Well that explains Florida (joe-caine)


This week has seen a heatwave across much of the US, with a record 103 degrees in Maine. Stephen King will now be writing “Misery 2: The Backs of My Knees Are So Sweaty”. —Stephen Colbert


Studies have shown that increased heat can be bad for the brain, making it harder for many to find their words and leading to higher rates of aggression and violent crime. “Well that explains Florida.” —Stephen Colbert


Donald Trump’s latest rally was in Wisconsin where his brain seem parboiled. Among other strange moments, he made the bizarre accusation that Biden was using cocaine. Joe Biden is not on the Peruvian marching powder but if he did want to dance with the white lady, he could raise a lot of campaign cash selling his own brand of joe-caine. —Stephen Colbert
