      From what I’ve gathered the whole thing is like if there was an Always Sunny episode where they do a public works project.

    This might be one of the most absurd things I’ve ever seen become a central focus of national news. It has absolutely zero effect on anyone’s lives. I don’t know how anyone that can rub two brain cells together can look at this and think this is something worth wasting their time on.

      Oh, it is absolutely important to the government, because it is so inconsequential. And minute of coverage and focus spent on it is a net positive for them.

        Also to literally distract from the fact that we killed a shit ton of people and still lost a war.

        Like, the libs will be like “this is an incredible metaphor for his presidency” and then not actually discuss the specific actions that make up the metaphor because many of those specific actions were either done by, or threatened to be done by, any one of his last five predecessors.

        It’s only illegal if they pull you over right as you cross the Potomac by the National Mall, start questioning you, search your car, and find a fully assembled 15" drone in the trunk, an antenna in the back seat, a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew Code Red on the passenger floorboard mostly full of deep orange liquid, and 40 empty food coloring bottles in the glove box.

        “No, Officer, I was just planning on using the drone to film myself doing a challenge of chugging a soda with 5 tablespoons of cayenne pepper in it, on America’s front lawn.”
