This whole game feels like one massive case of déjà vu, and I’m just not feeling it this time around.

Yes, a hodge podge of talking points brought together to form a pleasant bouquet. Some potpourri, if you will. We can all enjoy a little P O T. And if you got that obscure Laugh In joke, congratulations! I love you.
