Desi Lydic Chides Democrats Who Missed Hegseth’s Impeachment Vote

Republicans managed to shelve the impeachment effort, however, after 11 Democrats missed the vote.

"Are you kidding me? A chance to impeach the secretary of defense, and 11 of you couldn’t be bothered to come to work? Even Mitch McConnell finds a way to show up to work, and he died years ago!” — DESI LYDIC

“This is a major ‘L’ for Democrats. And to think, I just put the finishing touches on my Hakeem Jeffries back tattoo. Now I just look stupid!” — DESI LYDIC

“What do you people have to say for yourselves? These aren’t, like, nobodies — OK, one of them is Haley Stevens, but not all of them are nobodies!” — DESI LYDIC

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth survived a House vote yesterday on a resolution to impeach him. But, as usual with Hegseth, I’m sure there’ll be another round.” — SETH MEYERS

“Yeah, after the vote, he let out such a huge sigh of relief, he set off every breathalyzer in the five-block radius.” — SETH MEYERS

The Punchiest Punchlines (‘Dear Joe, Love Don’ Edition)

“In his forthcoming memoir, former President Joe Biden details the letter that President Trump wrote to him in 2021 upon leaving the presidency, in which he told Biden, ‘You now have the opportunity to choose your place in history, and I know you will be true to yourself and the American people.’ You’re telling me Donald Trump wrote that? There’s a better chance that he actually wrote ‘The Art of the Deal.’ Hell, there’s a better chance he wrote ‘The Art of 16th Century Italy.’” — SETH MEYERS
