That’s a long time ago

Oh, boy

“We’re going to do a bill later”
We’re trying to add it to this bill
And if we can’t
We’re going to have it right after

We have some crazy, arcane laws, folks
Just in case you haven’t heard

I said: No, no
They were booing Obamacare


It is Somehow Fitting That Trump Would Liken His Own Election to a Natural Disaster

In 2016
The Earth shifted beneath our feet

The rebellion started as a quiet protest
Spoken by families of all colors and creeds

Finally
The chorus became an earthquake


Land Sucks

The soon-to-be commissioned Gerald R. Ford USS

On a very big piece of land

But this is better than land

And through their sacrifice
They turned the tide of the Pacific War

It was a big tide
It was a vicious tide

And they turned it


They Were in My Office

Harley Davidson makes great motorcycles
They were in my office
They were in my office

And they came in
I said: How you doing?
“Great”

How’s business?
“Great”

How do you overseas?
“Well, it’s tough. We have some countries that charge us a 100 per cent import tax”

I said: 100?
“100 per cent”

Think of it


Melania Ivanka

My wife was here last week
And took a tour
And it was something that she’s still talking about

Ivanka is here right now

Hi, Ivanka


Donald Trump Answers the Question: “Why not wait to tweet about it until you can prove it?  Don’t you devalue your words when you can’t provide evidence?”

Because The New York Times wrote about it
Not that I respect The New York Times
I call it the failing New York Times

But they did write on January 20
Using the word wiretap

And I think if you watch
If you watched the Bret Baier

And what he was saying
And what he was talking about
And how he mentioned the word wiretap

You would feel very confident
That you could mention the name

He mentioned it
And other people have mentioned it


Selflessness

I don’t think it’s fair
And I’ve been complaining about it for a long time
Because I don’t care about me anymore
I care about the people out there

Me, I’m very satisfied
