The Simpsons eating at a restaurant called America Town in Tokyo:

Waiter: Howdy, gangstas. I am average American Joe salary-man waiter. Don't ask me, I don't know anything, I am product of American education system! I also build poor-quality cars and inferior-style electronics.

Homer: Hahahaha he’s really got our number!

I too enjoy repeating the joke I just saw but removing all of the distracting humor.

Yeah, I’d be scared of going to prison if I were him too… That drunken lout is probably going to end up in the infirmary with the DTs by the 4th of July.

Kirsti Noem's publisher in 2022: "This is a horrible story. We can't include this, Dick Cheney only got away with his hunting trip scandal because he shot a lawyer and not a puppy."

Kristi Noem's new Conservative publisher in 2024: "People will be impressed with how tough you are on puppy crime."

Tim Scott is a gutless hack who apparently hasn't had enough of being embarrassed on the national stage yet. It doesn't matter what you do or say Sen. Scott, Trump's not going to pick you because it would upset his base. And we all know why.
