In this week’s episode, hosted by Chris Rock, co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che addressed a variety of Trump-related stories. Among the subjects discussed were the president-elect earning the title of TIME’s Person of the Year, Elon Musk strangely proposing that Trump and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg were partners in reproductive rights, and Trump’s recent vow to eliminate Daylight Savings Time (uh, thanks?).

From the United Healthcare CEO assassin who sips Starbucks to Amazon’s $1 million donation to Trump’s inauguration, the week has felt endlessly drawn out and ridiculously chaotic.
