Donald Trump’s UK exit interview with Prime Minister Keir Starmer went about as well as any WWIII-provoking humble-brag can. After President Chatty Kathy couldn’t help but spill all the tea about taking back control of Bagram Air Force base in Afghanistan from the Taliban. A clearly classified conversation, he undoubtedly had with a high-ranking US military official, before Trump not-so-discreetly stuffed the pertinent evidence down the front of his diaper. No, not because the gunt is nature’s fanny pack, but because Putin prefers top US military secrets, not a skid mark Rorschach test. Of course, Putin’s ROI took a major blow after Trump blurted out that the Afghan base is “an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons,” like the entire world wasn’t watching on live television. As if Trump suffers from a rare form of Tourette’s, where he can’t help but scream the quiet part out loud. Luckily for him, the sound of betraying the US intelligence community for the infinite time was drowned out by the dull roar of a billion Chinese saying, “OH, WEALLY?” in unison. Never mind the fact that this bombshell slip-of-the-tongue revealed Trump is once again negotiating with Terrorists like the sales manager of a machete dealership. A sad reminder that the last time Trump went into business with the Taliban, he not only screwed over his own troops and the Afghan people with the terms of his surrender, but essentially finished 20 years of 9/11 payback on a quiet quit. Who knows, some say Trump designating anti-fascists groups as terrorists this week is his plan to wrongfully imprison democrats. But, with Trump’s track record of working hand-in-hand with terror organizations like the Taliban, Houthis, and Hamas, I see it as the closest Trump has ever been to bipartisanship.

In today’s Palate Cleanser, John Stewart reminds us that in the war against fascism, comedy is always on the front lines taking shrapnel. Looking back, it’s ironic that such a profound antifascist statement could be spoken at the Kennedy Center, which, after Ivanka’s virginity, is now Trump’s most prized conquest. And if, for some reason, you need more proof that hijacking the arts and entertainment industries wasn’t high atop Project 2025’s To-Do list, look no further than the headlines below. The once prestigious Mark Twain Award is the highest honor a comedian can receive, and the list of prior award winners reads like a who’s-who of my comedic influences. That was until Trump’s Cancel Culture decided to outright cancel culture. For example, I’m hearing next year’s recipient of the Mark Twain Award is a toss-up between Rossane Barr, the “You might be a redneck…” guy, and a Russian bot on X that Trump loves, who posts racist cat memes.
