When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, the US government should have began immediately shipping hundreds of masks to every American family from some giant warehouse somewhere. Now it’s the third year of the pandemic and everyone is getting one. If it’s the thought that counts, there hasn’t been much thought.

Ted, this is one of your finest efforts. The oval rug, the coffee table, the CD Records label, the dead dog. The completely brutal way you point out how utterly useless the government has been. 10 out of 10. I have no notes.
“This guard dog in a box ‘totes” would have warned us of nearby Soviets” “totes”? I don’t get it.
Totes in this context is a shortened form of the word “totally.” As in: “Trump is totes OK with putting children in cages. Just like Obama was totes on board with the exact same …” Hang on. The Woke Gestapo are at the door. Back in 10 to 20.

Thanks–I had never heard that expression before–to me, a “tote” is something you use to carry things, as in “tote bag.”
It was popular very briefly … Much like Joe Biden.
