Again I ask Werther’s Originals to please stop supplying Senator Chuck Schumer as he is clearly distracted with those caramel wrappers to do his actual job.

“Did you see what he said!?” Oh we’re surprised the most narcissistic person in North America - a two-time convicted felon who tried to lead a coup an buried his ex wife in his golf course for a tax write-off shared some horrible thought? Hmmm???

It’s so great that our bodies register “having to burp” as “I’m gonna barf!!!” Really fun prank, you got me.

Best breakfast I’ve ever had is going to be leftover cold pizza from the night before, but sure keep making recipes for eggs or pancakes. I’ll be over here in my blanket fort, not cooking. Winning.

so this whole shutdown is probably because there’s photos of him with half naked abused children and when he’s dead and the photos come out they will all have to explain that they ”didn’t know”. I figure Mike Johnson is just getting practice in right now.

Take a page from Mamdami and have Chuck bring an Optometrist Chart and a gift card to Lens Crafters to Mike Johnson‘a next presser. Offer him the chance to prove he can actually see anything.

Buy my meditation app "Whales Talk To You" and listen to 60 hours of whale-song.

So weird because I’m writing a novel about a billionaire-turned-trillionaire who befriends a senile dictator so he can dismantle years of government work, only to overdose on Ketamine before he’s brought to justice
