Now girls, you would not believe the kind of disrespect floating around out there these days. Truly. It ruffles my feathers. I was fluffing up for my afternoon “me time” when suddenly this nonsense popped up on my Parrot Social feed—a meme, if you can believe it, with the faces of President OJP and Elon, The Prince of Certainty, photoshopped onto the bodies of the Dumb and Dumber movie characters.
Who makes these things?! Seriously. Some poor soul with too much time and not enough sense.
And yes, yes, I get the reference. I saw the movie. It was charming in it’s own way. I guess. It did remind me of my cousin Larry and his best bird Ricky down in Georgia. Absolutely delightful little birdbrains. We used to call them Squawk and Squawker—cutest pair you’ve ever seen. Couldn’t tell you what they were ever talking about – but who boy! – were they enthusiastic and loud.
But let’s get back to that meme-picture, ok. It may look like Dumb and Dumber to you doubters, but to me? This is pure genius. I mean, hello? These two are the winningest team we’ve seen in generations.
Don’t believe me? I have a Five Things List:
1. Imposing tariffs for freedom. That’s right. Making other countries pay their fair share? Bold. Necessary. Patriotic.
2. Closing libraries. Be honest—when’s the last time you went to one? Exactly. Let’s stop pretending we need a whole building full of dusty paper when Big Box e-readers do the trick.
3. Cutting vaccines. I mean, really—who enjoys getting poked? I have had one flu shot and that was only because I thought it came with a free tote bag.
4. Shutting down bloated government waste. They’re not just trimming the fat anymore, girls—they are cutting through flesh and bone. It’s like a freedom carving station.
5. And Finally, Slashing Stock Prices. Those two are killing it! I haven’t seen this kind of sale since the price of gas station sushi dropped during February’s Economic Boycott! And that bird Elon is really using that chainsaw to Tesla stock. On Sale 40% off!! Wow, what a Patriot!
So sure, go ahead, put them in parrot-themed tuxedos, give them goofy haircuts, laugh all you want—but underestimate them at your peril. Because what you’re really looking at is a powerhouse pairing. One runs a rocket empire and the other run the entire country from social media. That’s talent. That’s leadership. That’s modern genius in feathered form.
And just a little side note—my cousin Larry and Ricky? Would you believe they’re in politics now? Mm-hmm. We are just so proud. They may have started out as Squawk and Squawker, but they’ve made good. They’ve got titles, honey. Suits. Staff. One of them has a podcast.
That’s winning.
