Now you’re just some creep with this underwear on the outside (What’s not to like?)

June 2021

“There has been a sharp turn in fortune for the cryptocurrency bitcoin, which has cratered in value in recent weeks amid crackdowns from China and the Internal Revenue Service. The cryptocurrency has also found an unlikely critic in Donald Trump, who called bitcoin a ‘scam’ in a recent appearance on the Fox Business Network. I would’ve thought Trump would be a huge fan of bitcoin. I mean, it’s a way to both hide dirty money and destroy the environment at the same time. What’s not to like?” —Trevor Noah

“But keep in mind, just because Trump calls it a scam doesn’t mean that he’s against it. It just means that he’s probably working on his own version. Like I say there’s a 99% chance that by the end of the year, he’s going to introduce the Trump coin. It might look like a Chuck-E-Cheese token, and you can only use it at Chuck-E-Cheese, but that’s called the blockchain.” —Trevor Noah

“Bitcoin’s value also plummeted thanks to news on Monday that the justice department seized 63.7 bitcoins, the equivalent of $2.7m, half the ransom paid by Colonial pipeline to Russian hackers following a ransomware attack that crippled gas lines in the south-eastern US. This a huge blow for bitcoin’s reputation, as the currency’s signature is its supposed untraceability. I mean, bitcoin without untracebility is like Superman without any powers. Now you’re just some creep with this underwear on the outside.” —Trevor Noah

“Bitcoin is facing a lot of headwinds right now, from increased regulation to the FBI tracking it around the internet like it’s a black guy in a department store.” —Trevor Noah

if only he had given his money to hookers, he would have gotten his own prime time show on CNN (other rich people)

"MSNBC news anchor Keith Olbermann will be back to work on Wednesday after being suspended without pay for giving campaign contributions to Democratic candidates, which is against the rules at MSNBC. See, if only he had done like Eliot Spitzer and given his money to hookers, he would have gotten his own prime time show on CNN." –Jay Leno

"Earlier this evening, in an interview with Matt Lauer, President Bush revealed the most embarrassing thing he ever did when he was drunk. He asked a friend of his parents at a dinner party what sex was like after 50. Which is not so bad when you consider John McCain's most embarrassing moment. He picked Sarah Palin sober." –Jay Leno

"Nancy Pelosi, who lost her position as Speaker of the House says she will seek to become the House Minority Leader. And really who better qualified to be House Minority Leader than the person who led their party to become a minority in the first place." –Jay Leno
