mall really fast. And that's just two filters. Here's some more. Suppose you wanted a guy who was going to be faithful. You know, basic, right? You want a guy who's not going to cheat on you but he's also over six feet tall and he has a good income. What are the odds of somebody who is tall and has a good income, meaning the most desirable man, what are the odds that he will be faithful to one wo…

I'm just saying there's so much of it that you can't even use the app. He actually overwhelmed Instagram. Has anybody else had that experience? Because you only have to look at a few of them and the algorithm does the rest. So I have to search for other things until it overwhelms them, right? Yeah. All right. Look at more pet videos. Yeah I think he overwhelmed the pet videos too.
All right. Why is it that we never blame the brainwashers? Have you noticed that? So the January 6th thing, I guess Trump was blamed for quote inciting violence.

Do you know why the people who observed it believe it was an insurrection instead of a protest? Why do the Democrats think they saw an

insurrection? An unarmed insurrection. Why would they think such a ridiculous thing? Because they're brainwashed. They're brainwashed, right? There's no, that's obviously no critical thinking going on there. It would take like this much critical thinking, like a dollop, to know that an unarmed Republicans are not trying to take over a country. Like you don't have to do deep thinking to figure that…
