Summary

If you’re seeking to slow the passage of time, you should consider a career in political punditry during the zenith of an election season. Jonah’s Saturday stand-up revisits a news week that has felt more like a news epoch. He reconsiders Tuesday’s vice capades to remind the people what “book banning” really means—outside of a wildly efficient marketing strategy—and opines upon the end of the Port Union Strike and the scourge of collective bargaining. Later in the episode, Jonah pivots to express his deep frustrations with Trump’s increasingly dark rhetoric, the damning lack of strategy behind it, and the blame that falls on the hapless normie Republicans capitulating to the crazies. This leaves our intrepid host sick and tired of political malarkey, allowing himself to call out what is supremely stupid and remind the critics that revenge is a dish best served cold.
