But I'm an ADHD creature that learned a long time ago to ward off potential disasters, having misplaced my wallet quite a bit in my younger years. Carrying around a bunch of cash doesn't even occur to me, just out of lessons learned/habit.

But isn’t that also none of our business? If she were bailing out hegseth personally it’s still not like this was fifty grand. I don’t even like these people! But getting worked up over 3 grand is a distraction at best.

Counterpoint: she is taking depraved joy in causing long-term harm to human beings, the very definition of sadism. Each and every opportunity to extract a measure of retribution against her is warranted.

You guys wouldn't be cool if someone asked you to produce a withdrawal statement for a comparative amount of cash, and neither would I. I just can't get myself worked up over this particular thing when there are so many other things that are much worse than me giving a shit if someone is out hunting side dick or carrying too much cash. But it may bother you all more than me, so I should just excuse myself.

So many examples of Constitutional crises happening, carrying $3,000 in cash is weird, but not worthy of taking up oxygen.

Pretty good example of why they "win" in this environment. NOTHING is too petty and insignificant for them to get worked up about. And the simpler the issue the better, b ecause their mouth-breathing audience can't deal with too many details and nuance.
