Sounds like Rep. Blake Carpenter is fucking moron.
"I want to eliminate taxes that hurt Kansans." Well, sales tax hurts Kansans, yet you want to jack those up to make up for no income and property tax. Also, property taxes will be raised by the cities/counties to make up for the loss of money.

How do you pronounce that? "AEIII!" Aye-ee-i? Aye-ee? Aye-yi-yi? Ugh?
Brutus is also watching some sort of generic football game where the teams don't have names and neither do the players.

Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding?
Would it be wrong, would it be right?

Mutilation out of sight
And I'm contemplatin' suicide

His district stretches over 500 miles and includes the 6th largest and most liberal city in Kansas.
People who represent the Big 1st never have to be held accountable. They coast just by being in a large conservative district that covers more than half the state.

Rep. Tracey Mann wouldn’t even look at the young woman asking him a real question—let alone answer her. What a rude coward.

does Trump have a crush
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

"Slowtidious"? I think you can take that to HR and fast track Brutus' termination.
I do sometimes wish we saw Brutus at work more. Not with Veeblefester or Arnie or blond guy at the watercooler, but seeing Brutus actually work. Make a sales call, do an in-person sale. You know, not just talk.

Pleeeeeeeease can we start hating the Coast Guard. I would be ever so happy.
Decent people: "Hey, these hate symbols are terrorizing some of our service members. We should do something about that."
Coast Guard: "Say no more, fam. Those are no longer hate symbols. Problem solved."
