I see he’s wearing his Depends trousers.

Hot summer night 1983. Subway ride from Yankee Stadium to Greenwich Village. Tough guys roaming our car, threatening and shoving. Then at stop, Guardian Angels board and thugs run. Never forget the relief we all felt.

She is an eager and truly sociopathic liar. Never seen anything like it.

I was interviewed by her for All Things Considered. I'd written a humor book, but this was my first interview and didn't know to create a routine that could get me through. What a disaster! I brought nothing to the table and she was not pleased. But I learned as I went and always admired her work.

Barrasso is smart enough to know he’s spewing bullshit. Just an odious man.

In the history books she’ll be known as The Smiling Monster

I've never seen anyone so eager and happy to lie.

She’s really out of her mind isn’t she.

The Cubs fan is lucky he wasn’t burned at the stake.

I’m 75, and this is the worst President, worst Vice President, worst Cabinet, worst House Speaker, worst Congress and worst Supreme Court I’ve ever seen in my life. We are scraping bottom. We are witnessing the degradation of the country I love. Please march with me on Saturday.

One of the things people will be protesting this Saturday at No Kings is Scott Bessent sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina while Trump plays golf and Congress says nothing.

That isn’t β€œhating America.”

That is America First.

Republicans want bailouts for oligarchs.

Eric Trump is the Bizarro World Nostradamus - he looks into the past and gets things wrong.

The Republicans are acting as if America is a club that caters only to members. But the world is far more complicated than that, as is our place in it. Part of our duty is to those who are struggling, even those non-citizens trying to make their way. That's what a great nation does.

He's been very busy not looking into things or not knowing about them. He's a complete fraud.

They love that annual dinner, too - you know, the one that casts them in the worst possible light.

I'd maintain that he DOESN'T know we don't buy cooking oil from China. He has no idea where we get out cooking oil from. He's just saying what he's told to say, usually pretty poorly.

These Republicans are like the worst, stupidest people you know doing the worst, stupidest things they can think of - in fifth grade.

Translation: We're shutting down programs meant for poor people and that assistance is never coming back, and that makes us very happy.

The nation’s most prominent moron is still going on about Bud Light as if it was the Battle of the Bulge.
