been a minute since we’ve done one of these…

sure ya didn’t

at least the pattern is predictable. i’m constantly amazed at the “ignorance” of the current GOP candidate. he’s all about the heritage foundation, the authors of the infamous “Project 2025”. until said papers got bad press. then he didn’t write it, didn’t know who did…oh, THEY did? i’ve never heard of ’em. but there’s video of him praising them, but of course that’s being taken out of context. except it’s not. then came the rally in nyc featuring comedian tony hinchcliffe. he’s written a lot of insulting roasting jokes. it’s what he does. so, honestly, the routine was about what i’d expect.

the difference is the room.

if it’s at a roast on comedy central, or a comedy club on a saturday night, that plays. but at a political rally there’s gonna be a metric shit ton more scrutiny, and i’m sure tony knew that, he just didn’t care. and good for him – comics should be able to make their jokes. yes, i said it. it IS called “free speech” for a reason. but trump says, now, he’s never heard of him. had no idea who he was. where he came from. i’m sure it’s just coincidence that i sat in shit traffic in austin, texas, (my birthplace) for over an hour due to trump-fueled road closures because he was in town to appear on joe rogan’s podcast. rogan also owns a comedy club on 6th street named “comedy mothership”, where one of the resident headliners is…wait for it…tony hinchcliffe. but i’m sure that’s just coincidence that forty-eight hours after he’s literally filming in tony’s work house for three hours tony’s on his stage at what he’s called a “love fest”, also the term he used for…

ya missed

speaking of “not reading the room”, what on earth made targeted marketing send me ads for this?

a three wheel death trap i thought was built off the slingshot platform, but apparently was more custom than i thought, and comes with three trim levels. i think it’ll still be a hard pass for me.
