But we cant talk about those stories today because donald trump is back at the white house. Yep. He did that thing that tough guys do in the movies where they tear the i. V. Out of the army and say, im checking myself out of this hospital then he very carefully walk down the steps to his car. Look how he pats the banister like a puppy.

I just left Walter Reed Medical Center and i

May be useful to learning the results hours after the polls closed. All all likelihood there would not happen this year and that is okay. So how does this all work exactly. What is the law.

From trevors couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with trevor noah. Trevor lets kick things off by talking about some of the stories that we cant really spend time on today because donald trump still has covid 19. For example, gay people taking over the proud boys hashtag with photos of themselves showing off their gay pride. I dont care what anyone says, this is great. Im glad the internet is doing more troll white supremacist challenges and less eat something that causes diarrhea challenges.
