bbing. I never heard of that until today. Anyway, so apparently, can you believe it, that when people phub in front of them the person who's getting phubbed on, if that's the right way to say it, the person getting phubbed on will not be happy and will not feel it's a good relationship. Did you really need to do that study? You could have come to me and said, "Scott, how would you feel if your da…

And then also yesterday he sent out something that was praising CBD, you know, the component within marijuana for its many medicinal uses. Now you could sort of imagine maybe he would send that out, but I don't think so. I've never seen him promote anything that was pro-weed, even if it was something we already knew was used medically. So I don't know what's going on. There might be more to this story, but it does not seem that Trump himself sent those two messages. I just don't know.
Median Politics on X is looking at Trump's executive order to the states. So back in March he signed an executive order to improve the voting integrity in the states. Now the states of course have control over how they do voting, but Trump thinks he can impose some standards. And what would happen when Trump tries to impose some voting process standards on a state that's blue and doesn't love Trump? What would happen? Well, apparently they do the Dilbert technique, which is, "Sure, I'll do that. Okay. Is it done yet? Oh, didn't have time. Okay, but you're working on it now, right? Oh yeah, yeah, totally working on it now. Check back in a few weeks. Are you done yet? Oh, something came up. Yeah. No, and I've got to talk to somebody before I do anything." And so basically they're slow-walking it so it doesn't happen.
And what else are they doing? They're doing court challenges. They're putting political pressure to try to make it go away. They're missing deadlines because apparently it looks like there's no penalty. So if you just say, "Oh yeah, yeah, we see your executive order. Yeah, we'll take care of that." Then if you just don't do it, it doesn't look like there's a penalty. So I think they just don'

t do it. So at this point it does not look like the executive order is going to make a difference. I think it's going to be too easy for the states to say, "Nah, we're in charge of this. Get out of here." I guess Trump and the top Democrats are going to talk today as a last-ditch effort to try to work out a budget compromise. I don't think there's any chance that'll happen. Do you? I mean, I thin…
