It’s a great listen. Basically it makes audiences think the show is funnier, or rather it gives audiences permission to laugh out loud alone.
They aren’t convinced at all. It’ll give them unwinnable court cases that they can use to rally their base for reelection who will be so mad their witch hunt isn’t successful they won’t notice the GOP fucking them from every which direction.
