This thirst trap has the gays screaming, but not for the reason you think

Washington DC gays—they’re truly a different species. While the rest of us our getting our kicks (and our sense of how the government works) from Veep, they’re doing everything they can to raise awareness about *checks notes* the federal reserve rate?

Apparently. Because in DC, a thirst trap isn’t just a thirst trap. It’s a vote for democracy.

This morning, one brave politico decided to remind us of the importance of—what else?—the federal reserve cutting interest rates. And boy, did he ever get our attention.

Do we have any idea what the federal reserve is? No! But we can think of something else that’s cut…

This is the ideal way to get your federal reserve info, honestly.

And just like that, we’re experts on federal rate reductions.

You couldn’t get me to set foot in Washington DC if my life depended on it, but I remain intrigued by the local culture.

We’re very thankful to this young man for bringing our attention to this important, timely issue.

The DC gays are helping us stay politically engaged, and perhaps more importantly, thirsty. Thirsty for interest rate info, of course!

More as this very important political story unfolds!
