The Washingtonian reports that The Daily Show has been airing 30- and 60-second versions of this video on local news channels in D.C. The publication says the truck has been on the move in the Capitol since Monday.

“We’re trying to always think of ways to take jokes that we have and take them outside the boundaries of 11:00 to 11:30. Like, how can we exist in the real world? How can we get closer to the people that we’re covering?” Ramin Hedayati, a producer at The Daily Show, told the Washingtonian in an interview. “Literally driving a truck outside of the building they’re in is a way to do that.”

Erdoğan And The 1,845 Cases Of Insults

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan living a life in fear of insults, criticism and dissent has taken a page out of the government of Singapore playbook.  Use the courts to silence the opposition.

Who sues school children for speaking and acting like children? Tayyip Erdogan.  Really; paranoia manifesting itself because the Donald Trump of Turkey can't take primary school insults.  Perhaps President Bevis and Butthead should find a new profession. Say pro wrestling referee, judging pie eating contests or join the circus and become a clown. He's already halfway there.

Erdoğan has been accused of aggressively using a previously seldom-used law that bars insults to the president, as a way to muffle dissent. Those who have gone on trial include celebrities, journalists and even schoolchildren.

Critics say Erdoğan, who has been accused of increasingly authoritarian behaviour, even considers strong criticism as insults.
