'd look a lot better behind a desk. But Zuby looked great. Zuby is great. So 40 million registered Democrats but at one point they could get 36 of them to watch that live stream. They are just so not good at anything. Homeland Security, according to the Epoch Times, removed five TSA officials because they were involved in that Biden-era thing where they were putting people on the quiet skies lis…

t couldn't get over how funny the meme was even though he didn't understand the relevance of like why does Hakeem Jeffries have a... he didn't even know why Hakeem Jeffries was being put in a sombrero in a Mexican mustache. The reason is that allegedly he wants to give budget money to undocumented people but you'd have to know that story. But still the Daily Show guy said he didn't even know what it had to do with but he couldn't stop laughing because it was hilarious because it's hilarious.

And then he showed the third one in the series where Trump himself is wearing the sombrero and playing in the mariachi band. And then he's all confused because is it good or bad to be a mariachi guy with a Mexican hat? Wait a minute. If it's bad why'd they put Trump in a hat? Just perfect. Just perfect.

But this morning I wake up to a new one. It's the music of Blue Öyster Cult, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," with an AI-generated meme that shows Russ Vought and Trump looking like reapers and that they're going to come after your Democrat employees and fire them because I guess he can do a bunch of firing during the government shutdown. And he's going to shut a bunch of Democrat entities and Democrat functions and fire a bunch of Democrats.

So instead of being coy about it and instead of trying to lower the temperature, you know what a normal president would do would be like, oh yeah, there might be a few layoffs. Yeah, we might use that time to look at a few things we could adjust and try to minimize it. No, instead of trying to minimize it Trump goes right at it with a meme of him as the reaper getting rid of all these Democrats. Oh no.

And then Trump said separately, I can't believe the radical left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They're not stupid people. So maybe this is their way of wanting to quietly and quickly make America great again. So now he's speculating that Democrats are pretending to be incompetent so they can get some stuff done without stopping Trump from doing it. Now I don't think that's exactly what's happening but God that's funny. That is so funny. That the fact that he's trolling them and beating them at the same time. I could not enjoy this more. And the fact that Trump knows he's entertaining his base while driving crazy his competition, it just doesn't get any better than this. How are we ever going to enjoy another president? This is the most fun any president's ever been. No, nobody's ever going to match this. I mean I have a lot of confidence in JD Vance if he makes it in. I think he'll be terrific but man you'll never match this. You will never match this. This is a form of genius what Trump is executing right now. It's a form of genius like I don't think we'll ever see again because he has that talent stack that goes across entertainment, decades of experience. He just has exactly the right stack of talents to do this. Nobody else does. Only him.

So Hakeem put on a post and actually says, we are ready to debate the government funding and the Republican healthcare crisis anytime, any place with the cameras rolling. He says Trump, Vice President, Speaker Johnson, what say you? And I looked in the comments to his aggressive challenge to debate it on camera and Michael Malice had a comment right below it in all caps. He says, go back to Mexico. Now if you don't know who Michael Malice is it's not as funny. You would have to know he's just one of the funniest people in the world. But that we so don't take him seriously that nobody even cares that he wants to debate it on camera. We're not even interested. We're just, go back to Mexico. Where if you didn't know he's not from Mexico but he has been seen in a so

mbrero lately. Go back to Mexico. It'd be even funnier if Trump agreed to debate but only with AOC because she's not even in the chain of command for this topic. Oh yeah I'll do it but only with AOC. Anyway the smart people are pretty sure that the only way this shutdown ends is with Democrats giving up. Do you think that too? Do you think the only way this ends is with Democrats saying all righ…
