Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

He spent Biden’s entire presidency calling him ‘Sleepy Joe’. Still does. But this guy nods off in the middle of the day in meetings almost every day. Fell asleep in court all the time too.

I think it was in 1956, when I was five and Ike was running against Adlai Stevenson, that I asked Dad the difference between Republicans and Democrats. He said that Republicans care about rich people and Democrats care about everybody else. Still true.
