"We're only one menstrual cycle into this presidency," Samantha Bee declared on Wednesday's episode of Full Frontal. "And there is blood in the water."

Beginning with news clips comparing Trump's floundering to Richard Nixon, Bee went on to explain why his administration has been so active.

Bee switches tack then to highlight the the Congressional Review Act, a law which allows Congress to repeal legislation passed in the last six months (A.K.A. by the Obama administration) by a simple majority vote. More than 50 of the Obama administration's regulations could still be affected, including the Endangered Species Act.

"For God's sake, 'Animals are awesome' is the only safe topic of conversation most American families have left," Bee said before an award-worthy comparison of Trump Tower to Isengard. The show cuts to commercial after the segment, but Bee has some ideas for how you should use the break.
