I genuinely feel like we are the ones living in the alternate universe.

You know whenever you watch like a movie about time travel back to the future, whatever it is, there's always the other universe the way it could have been, when the news said Donald Trump has listened to Kim Kardashian and pardoned some and I was just like, yeah, we're in that other universe. Someone drove a Delorian, they moved like something, somewhere. And because of that, we, like, like, like, we, like, we, we, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, a, a, a, a, a, a, like, like, a, like, a, like, like, like, a, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,orian, they moved like something somewhere, and because of that we are living in this world where Kim... and don't get me wrong, I think she did a great thing, she's like a cause that she's going for. I was impressed, but I still think

it's crazy that she's pushing the president on policy. It's like a wild world to be living in. And now people will be like, yeah, Donald Trump is being merciful. I don't know if Trump is showing mercy so much as, I feel like he's just practicing his pardon power. Yeah, no, think about it, he's like, he pardoned Dinesh de Sousa, and you know, he's like a pardoned sheriff or pio, and then now he pardoned this person. I feel like, you know what thrown thu thu thu th thu th thu th th thu thu th thr- thr- thr- thr-- thru. thru. thu. thru. I thru. I thrown thrown thrown thr- tru. I thru. I thr-he thr-he's thr-he's thu-he's thr-he's thu-hea-hea-is. I is thu-is. I is thu-is. I is thu-is. I is thu-he. I thu. I thu. I thu. I thi is thi thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thru. I thru. I throwneeeeeeeeei. I trowneeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. I thr-i. I thi. many people because secretly he's trying to slip in a pardon for himself and he hopes you won't notice. You know what I mean? I think that's what he's doing.

Like he's doing it the same way. He's doing it the same way that like, you know, like young guys buy condoms in a store, where you're embarrassed so then you try and buy everything else. Let me see, let me get a muffin and let me get a, let me get some bubble gum and let me get some, let me get some, yeah, can I get some cigarettes, can I get the, can I also get the, that's what I feel like he's doing, he's like, I pardon up, I owe Danesh this lady, Kim Ka, I pardon myself. Also pardon that person.

Did you see yourself? And he's, thi. Well, I guess I'll use it now. Yeah, it's just an insane time. Here we are. Congratulations, Kim Kardashian. It's really, it's great.
