Could you imagine turning to your spouse and being like ‘hey, a couple folks are gonna come over & jam w/us tonight,’ but instead of the neighborhood neckbeards it’s f-ing Rodney Crowell and Kris Kristofferson? Also, the new Margo Price record rips.

The thing is, Putin doesn’t have to be a master strategist when his opponent is a coke addled fool who doesn’t know what game he’s playing & can’t remember the names of people literally sitting across the table from him.
