Good Morning. Darth Traitor finding empty condom wrappers in his wife’s purse is fine. Like Spotted Owls and Lesbian Dance Theory.
Stephen Colbert got “kinda kinky” again later in the segment when he blasted Trump defenders who claimed that some of the folders marked classified were actually empty ― and insisted that meant it was no big deal.
“How true,” Colbert sarcastically agreed. “Much in the same way finding condoms in your wife’s purse is upsetting, but finding empty condom wrappers in your wife’s purse is fine.”

x 2. These relate to an ally.
I don’t even need to explain how much of a shitshow *that* would be.
In either scenario, there’s no non-nefarious reason for Trump to have hidden this material from investigators. — Angry Staffer 🌻 (@Angry_Staffer) September 7, 2022
x Did you hear about how the aunt of an alleged Nazi, convicted for his role on 1/6, was invited to speak at Trump's rally in PA on Saturday night? In defense of her Hitler-mustache-sporting nephew?
And why isn't this a bigger story?

Rightwingers may not be into environmentalism, but they sure love recycling jokes. Conservatives seem to have at best five gags in their repertoire and they make them again and again and again. Every single conservative comedy special seems to have the word “triggered” in it, for example, and all these self-identified comedians make the same cringey joke about pronouns. Over and over, someone who doesn’t seem to understand the basics of grammar will stand on stage and say something like: “My pronouns are ‘kiss my ass’,” and think they said something clever.
These aren’t just my woke lefty observations, by the way. There are various studies that show that rightwingers aren’t funny. “When looking only at humour’s structure, rather than its target, conservatives are still significantly less likely to appreciate humour than liberals,” one study found. They do appreciate any opportunity to camouflage bigotry as humour, though. Take the hard-right Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert, for example. She recently helped make the phrase “lesbian dance theory” go viral after telling Fox News that Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness programme is “robbing hard-working Americans to pay for Karen’s daughter’s degree in lesbian dance theory”. She didn’t come up with that phrase, to be clear. As I said, conservatives love recycling jokes and “lesbian dance theory” has been circulating among rightwingers for years now. Boebert just helped the phrase explode in popularity and become the latest anti-liberal insult.
