Well, if you’re the governor of California, “suddenly discover” a so-called “budget surplus” of $18 billion dollars (right in the middle of a global pandemic AND after you’ve ordered arbitrary shutdowns of thousands of small businesses and forced the statewide economic situation to tank), and pledge distribute it to the state‘s population. No problem if it looks like a bribe to buy people off in an effort to stifle the recall, AND if it ignores the fact that over $2 billion in unemployment funds was paid to scammers and convicted felons houses in the state’s prison system [No such inmate is eligible to receive unemployment benefits, but no cross-checking of applicants exists in California.]

Oops! (Please don’t turn me in to internal affairs!)
That’s it, that’s the ticket, sure, that’s exactly how it was!! I’ve been poisoned, I‘m whacked way out of my head and I can’t be held responsible for my actions while under the spell of the toxins! Terrorists, that’s who did it. That’s it, I remember it all now, grammar terrorists. No, pirates. Not terrorists but good old fashioned buccaneers. Yes, 18th century pirates were teleported here and took exception to my unrestricted access to all of the saucy wenches in The Harem! I’m telling the truth, I really am. They spiked the sandwiches with spoiled guacamole, no, it was mayonnaise, yeah, expired mayo that had been left in the sun all night long. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
