"There’s a lot going on, like, I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it’s called Manhattan.”
Now it's an attack on the woke elite instead of on an ethnic group. A comedian who couldn't figure that out is a garbage comedian.
Ahh, but the strawberries! That's - that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with - geometric logic - that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist!

At this point Queeg stops, realizing how he sounds. Trump, not so much.
A more principled scotus wouldn’t have decided the 2000 election, either. At least in those days when they made a purely partisan decision they were embarrassed about it.

The Allies exiled Napoleon to Elba [near his birthplace of Corsica]. They gave him sovereignty over the island and allowed him to retain the title of Emperor. In the first few months on Elba he created a small navy and army, developed the iron mines, oversaw the construction of new roads, issued decrees on modern agricultural methods, and overhauled the island's legal and educational system.
They didn't punish him for all the death and devastation he'd caused. Instead they gave him a pleasant, familiar island to be ruler of, and he took that job seriously. Of course, the second time he had to be exiled, things were quite different.

This part amazes me for several reasons:
