I wrote that down too: "We need those machines."

Send in the machines! Maybe certain dog-machines. Robot dogs?

At our viewing party(?), we stared at each other, ascertaining if we did hear exactly what we thought, then started laughing uproariously.

Thank you!!! And it was so ironic to see Matt’s comparison to B&B bc I heard them in my head saying, “he said ‘wood’” and I thought, “wow my sense of humor is so adolescent” 😂

Signer has to sign for Biden who . . .

Nah man. Trump is the irritable hair-trigger Beavis. Though it is true that Beavis is the more mindless one. Biden is too far gone to be Butthead.

Thanks for at least making me be able to laugh a little at this terrible situation. I had missed the part about the certain dog!
