. And all you need is a copper mug or a martini glass, a tankard, a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen right now. Go.

Well, on CNN I was reading an article about how the Republican-led states of Texas, Florida, Georgia, and some other ones have, quote, and this is the phrase from CNN, "seized on former President Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election." They've seized upon his lies. And I don't know exactly what it means to seize upon some lies, because it's hard to get a handful of a lie. They're kind of slippery. But apparently you can seize them, and then once you've seized them, bad things happen.
And apparently the bad thing is that these states are adopting new restrictions that will make it harder for some of the residents to vote. Well, that sounds bad. My God, why are these states making it harder for people to vote? I feel like I've heard the whole story now. There couldn't possibly be anything that would explain why they're making these changes.
Well, the reason they're making the changes to the voting system is because they seized on President Trump's lie. You can see how these are connected, right? So you got the seizing on the lie, and that causes you to change your laws so that fewer people can vote. It's true, because it's right here in CNN.

Seizing on a Trump lie. That's translated to improving election integrity. All right, so seizing on a Trump election lie, same thing as improving election integrity.
Let's see, are there other things that are confusing? Let's see, restrictions on voting. Let's go to the translator. Restrictions on voting means restrictions on vote rigging. Yeah, restrictions on voting translates into restrictions on illegal votes and vote rigging.
Anything else we should look up? How about I see them use the phrase "capital insurrection" a lot. Let's go to the translator. Capital insurrection. Click, click, click, click. Capital insurrection translates from C

NN speak into a capital protest. A protest. How about "courts find no widespread election fraud"? Put it in the translator. Courts find no widespread election fraud, and that translates to "blind man watches no movies this year." Well, that's just an analogy. That doesn't help me. Let me think. Blind man watches no movies. Well, of course, because he's blind. Because when you're blind you can't w…
