1614 D&S: Now Accepting $400M Jet Plane Donations May 23, 2025

Show notes

Hey, if the orange-turd of a president can do it, why not these two? Maybe they should say they're going to build a library and start taking donations. Or they could sue Twitter and Facebook for defamation of character and win $20 million with no case whatsoever. Or, Doug and Strickland could claim they are South African farmers seeking asylum from being driven from their lands, maybe the government will give them a suitcase full of cash if they claim to be Christians who are being discriminated against by Harvard. That's ridiculous, none of that shit could ever happen here...
