The thing with having trifecta control of the government, GOP, is you own everything that happens. You can't blame anyone else. So if the government shuts down, the stock market crashes, the economy tanks? It's ALL YOU. You own it.

This is creepy AF! It's something from a horror movie. And then there's the menacing music they put on the video. Something tells me these robots are not being built to wash dishes, fold laundry, or move car parts around in a factory. These are obviously KILLBOTS.

So my coffee maker died. Got left on with nothing in it, burned out. But, like an old video game where if you consume enough coffees you get a bonus player, I had an identical backup coffee maker! So the Great Coffee Crisis of 2025 was averted and the villagers are safe.
