“And that, women and gentleman, I current to you, is why we’d like courts,” he defined. “No matter flaws the American justice system has — and they’re legion, particularly for non-billionaire former presidents — it does seem like the final place in America the place you’ll be able to’t simply say regardless of the f*** you need, no matter actuality.”
Talking of altered realities, earlier within the present Stewart recapped Biden’s “Cheshire Cat press convention encore,” wherein a reporter requested his response to the Trump verdict, and Biden answered solely with a smile over his shoulder whereas exiting the room.
“Why does all the pieces need to be so f***ing bizarre? Why?” requested Stewart. “You probably have one thing to say about, say it. For those who don’t have one thing to say about it, don’t say it. However you’re simply going to cease and hit ‘em with some kinda ‘70s sitcom freeze-frame?”
Stewart then replayed the clip, set to a retro TV intro tune with the credit score “And President Biden as ‘Colonel Butters.’”
