My middle-school aged kids explained the difference between cooked and cookin' to me the other day, and now they really get to roll their eyes when I intentionally use them in as corny ways as possible.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm glad that presidents can't just overturn Justice Department policy when they want.
Wish we had a remind me bot so I can check this comment in 4 years and see if that's still the case.
I dunno about the parasite aspect, but I know COVID has been linked to brain damage. So if you think about it, a large percentage of the population being brain damaged is actually a good explanation for what happened with the election.
