[Walking onto stage, adjusting mic]
Hey, hey, hey! How’s it going, folks? Thanks for being here tonight. You know, I’ve been thinking about politics lately, and honestly, it feels like we’re all just sitting around a table playing cards with the biggest players in the world—and they’re not even using real cards; they’re using those plastic ones you get at the gas station.
You know what I mean? It’s like when you’re trying to play Uno with your family, but someone keeps pulling out a deck of Monopoly money instead. “Oh, sorry, this is my special edition!” And then you realize, oh yeah, this person has their own rules. That’s politics for you.
Now, let me tell you a quick story from my own life. A few years back, I was at a political rally—don’t judge me, okay? I was curious. The speaker gets up there, starts talking about how he’s going to fix everything, and I’m like, “Okay, cool. Fix what?” But then he says, “I hold the cards!” And I’m thinking, What cards? Are we playing poker now? Because last time I checked, politics wasn’t a game of chance—it’s more like a game of musical chairs where everyone tries to sit down before the music stops, except no one ever sits down because they’re too busy arguing over who gets to be the DJ.
But here’s the thing: Even if someone says they “hold the cards,” sometimes you look closer and realize the cards are made in China. [Audience chuckles] Yeah, that’s right. The whole thing is outsourced. It’s like ordering pizza online and getting delivery from halfway across the globe. “Hey, nice cheese! Where’d you get it?” “Oh, it’s imported.” Sure, sure.
And let’s be honest, folks: When politicians say they have all the answers, it’s kind of like when your friend tells you they fixed your computer by unplugging it and plugging it back in. “Yeah, problem solved!” Except nothing actually changed. Same issues, same problems, just a different angle on the same old mess.
Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m not saying politics is all bad. In fact, I think it’s hilarious. Like, imagine if we had a reality show called The Politicians, and every episode was just them arguing over who gets to use the bathroom first. “No, I need it! I have to pee out policy!” Meanwhile, the audience is like, “Just use the porta-potty already!”
But seriously, sometimes I feel like we’re all just waiting for someone to come along and say, “Hey, guys, maybe we should stop playing cards and start building houses instead.” But no, we’re stuck with people who think the solution to every problem is another meeting. “Let’s meet again tomorrow to discuss why today’s meeting didn’t solve anything.”
So, next time you hear someone say they “hold the cards,” just remember: Those cards might be made in China—or worse, they might be fake. And if they’re fake, well, that’s probably why nothing ever gets done. We’re all just dealing with pretend solutions while the real issues stay on the table.
Thanks for listening, folks. Keep laughing, keep questioning, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll figure this whole thing out someday. Until then, let’s enjoy the show!
