e somebody you think owns it? Or do you think that I'm not me? And they say banned for life confirmed. We'll get we'll five days we'll get a look at it again. Now it took me a while because these were email exchanges with the support. It took me a while to realize I'm talking to an AI. I'm pretty sure the responses didn't have any tells for a human. Now they were signed by a human name, so severa…

ut I don't think we're going to full genocide.

Trump apparently — they want to get a Trump mug shot, but there's some possibility they could make that go away because it's not necessary for the most famous face in the world. The reason you do mug shots, I'm told, is in case somebody tries to escape the law, you've got a picture of them for later. But if you're the most famous face in the world, do you really need a mug shot? Where is it going to hide?

But this gives me the question. Let's say maybe he won't do it, but if he does do it, the biggest question I have is does he go for the smile or the power stare? Right? Because you see this smile when he poses for pictures. His smile isn't his best look. I mean it's good that he can smile, but he has sort of a smile-for-the-cameras look that's not ideal. You know what I mean? The I'm-smiling-because-I'm-on-camera look. That's not your best smile. But you do what you can. If you're a politician, you gotta show the teeth, right?

But he has a power stare that's killer, wouldn't you say? The power stare. I don't know if I can do it, but it builds something like this. The dad's-coming-home stare. The one I want to see is the dad-coming-home stare. The one that says just wait. Just wait. That's the one I want to see. And as Sticks and Hammer said, it's going to be the most memed image of all time. Nothing will be more memed than his mug shot. So I say do the mug shot. Do the mug shot. His base is waiting. We're all waiting at their computers. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.

All right. Trump does a video in which he's claiming the election was rigged, and he's calling the people who did it riggers. How long did it take for somebody in social media to say riggers? Wait a minute, is this another one of those racist things he's saying without saying it? Is this racist Mafia talk? Does he really mean the n-word but he's using the r-word to try to beat it in some kind of a clever workaround? No. Do you think he's calling people who do elections the n-word? No. But do you think it ever crossed his mind that it would make a lot of trouble if he used the word? Maybe. Which would be freaking hilarious. It would be hilarious. So riggers, please.

Anyway, in my opinion reality is already starting to bend, right? The reality that we're told is reality is that the election was clean. And the way that you know the election was clean is that they didn't find any problems. And half of the country thinks that makes sense. All right, let me say it again so we can laugh at half of the country. Half of the country will say this on social media in public like they think it makes sense and that you're done for not understanding. Here

's what they say. The elections were definitely clean because there's no publicly known information that would refute that. It's 2023, and people will say that in public and they'll think well this is a smart take. The smart take is that they didn't find any problems, so therefore it's clean. Now I don't need to even say anything about that, do I? Imagine that. Stop it. Stop it. I'm not even goin…
