In all honesty, I don’t know why they just don’t let this guy sleep for a few days while he’s got COVID. It’s not like we need him around or anything. I think we can all get by without the senile old guy, as a matter of fact, I think we’d be better off. But no, the Handlers keep trotting him out, and it’s looking really forced and awkward, because he doesn’t look good, at all, and he sounds like a lunatic, to boot.
