It's 2176.

God-Emperor Barron Trump III's Big Beautiful Golden Warpgate to Mars is 30 trillion Trumpcoin over budget. Dissenters are executed daily at the Trump Arch near the Ballroom District. Famine, drought, and disease ravage the poorer districts.

It's Biden's fault.

Wanted to get the vibe of going to Trump’s state fair but didn’t want to drive all the way to DC, so I just went and stood in an empty field.

@ThePoniExpress Because other countries pay people better and give like 12 weeks of vacation a year. Crazy stuff happens outside of greedy America.

@cnnbrk Biden's fault

@JackHudler @MrReaganUSA @CBSNews I'm not watching that shit. Southeast Asia. Fuck off.

@MrReaganUSA @CBSNews Look who up? An actual American who died in 2004? The fuck are you talking about? Worry about Southeast Asia shit.

@HQNewsNow It is Biden's fault I'm sure.

Too busy to visit DC? This garlicky slow-cooker algae will make you feel like you're at the Lincoln Memorial.

One must always remember to make peace with the basket. Two at most.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Skenes Night: He’s due. So here’s the deal. If Paul strikes out 9 or more. Like he did the last time he faced the Dodgers. And the Buccos win. I’ll give away 5 Paul Skenes jerseys. Just follow me. And retweet this post. And you’re good. Let’s go Bucs!

@atrupar First they have to figure out how to make it Biden's fault.

@pgh_scanner Throw some fries and cole slaw on it

@GOP__Ls She is concerned and disappointed.
