it's difficult to overstate the degree to which this statement is my entire impulse as a writer
My sensations were strange. Let me try to explain them.

“Putting a hat on a hat” is literally a term actual comedians use to describe something as trying so hard to be funny it is no longer funny.
"They say I wear a lot of hats," Elon Musk jokes in cabinet meeting. He grabbed a red "Gulf of America" hat from the cabinet room table and put it over his black DOGE hat.
"Even my hat has a hat."

Dude what are you TALKING ABOUT
I'm sorry but THIS IS WRONG. The event that killed Biden's popularity, permanently, was the Afghanistan withdrawal. It is absolutely false, demonstrably false, that people need you to "explain" how this stuff affects them personally.

Ok so im no political scientist but im getting the sense that he’s committing a bunch of crimes in order to distract us from the other crimes he is committing. He doesn’t actually believe in anything. It’s important to remember this
