    Why is it that the more detail you read about these things, the less sense it makes. What the hell is going on in that block of text? It’s like the literary equivalent of one of those magic eye puzzles where you feel like there must be something there but you just can’t make sense of it no matter how much you squint at it.

      I remember back in 2015 people were saying that trump was saying that he would build a wall and Mexico would pay for it. I thought, “I wonder what he actually said that got chopped up and editorialized this way?”

      Every day after that has been me realizing that if you dig any deeper on the stupid shit it just gets stupider. We will kill off the planet because one time trump bought a cheap led bulb that didn’t flatter his natural orange glow quite enough and now we can only have coal fired power plants. Every stupid thing he says has an even stupider story behind it which itself probably has an even stupider story behind that and on and on. It’s truly astounding

        I personally prefer to just burn the coal right in my house. I like my light from the source. Not from this processed and sanitized thing that the kids are calling electrickery.
