Try to make it through this video without gouging your eyes out and begging for the sweet release of death:

This is so cringeworthy and so unnecessary. It'd be better to just have separate podiums for everyone. Seriously, imagine being this guy cleaning the podium. You worked hard to make your way in the Swamp. You have a degree. Maybe multiple degrees.

Now your role on the national stage is to spend long, awkward seconds wiping down a podium for people who have been vaccinated against the Rona.

This might be the most impressively insane use of security theater I've ever seen though.

It still makes me want to gouge my eyes out.
