This is the warning. And let me begin today by pointing out that it takes a special type of dipshed

to wear a cowboy hat backwards, like Elon Musk here. Astonishing. He also can't handle or hold a

chainsaw. Just not how you hold a chainsaw. But aside from that, the visit to CPAC with a chainsaw on the stage
