You want to check my shape, let’s do push-ups together. Let’s run. Let’s do whatever you want to do. You may call me old, but I’m just old school. I’m cool. I’m ice cold. I’ve got Baja Blast flowing in my veins. Pop pop’s jacked up on the Dew and will take you out behind the woodshed. That’s how they did it in my day and that’s a fact, Jack.
Or because it’s stupid political theater giving Trump’s base an out when he inevitably says some dumb bullshit during the debate and loses. He obviously never expected that ridiculous request to be granted. The act of playing along is an act of weakness, so it’s never going to happen.
Also they’re both going to be on drugs. All presidents are given various drugs. Some to keep them alive, some to help them concentrate. It’s no big deal, it’s a demanding job.
Edit: forgot Obama actually did show his birth cert. Shouldn’t have played along though
Is he a frail, senile, old man? Or does pop pop crave the BLAST of tropical energy from an ice-cold MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA BLAST!?!? Which is it, repubs?
That thumbnail is terrifying. Genuinely thought it was a dude wearing a roger stone mask wtf
From each according to their corruption, to each according to their greed
Wait so all the justices recieved $3M in gifts, and $2.4M of that was to Thomas? That’s like 80% of the gifts.
That is a fair point. My only counterargument would be that due to the way cities are set up, a large portion of those emissions come from commuting. The reason people commute is they have to earn money to pay bills so they can feed their kids and keep a roof over their heads.
So, asking people to drive less could mean asking them to give up their employment, which could be much more than “giving up the comforts of their lives” like the OP suggested - again, it could really put their livelihoods in jeopardy. And, without an organized cause, clear goal, a call to action, and clear communication about why their specific sacrifices are necessary, people will not take such huge risks.
The problem is: what does it mean to do that? Right now, we don’t have an organized revolution or movement. There needs to be a specific call to action. If you want people to “give up the comforts” of their lives, they need to know what doing that will accomplish, what the specific goal of the movement is, and how “giving up the comforts” will help to achieve it.
What you might actually be asking is for people to risk their jobs by going on general strike, their homes by not paying rent, etc. This is really more than “the comforts of their lives”, it is their ability to survive and feed their families.
The other problem is, any cause that only requires people to “give up the comforts of their lives” likely won’t be highly impactful. For instance, general strike and protest might help the climate crisis, but giving up plastic straws and driving less or whatever really won’t make much of a dent compared to the massive impacts of global capitalism.
Mainly just be properly equipped for the weather/terrain. Make sure to get a decent pair of hiking boots and break them in before your trip. Socks are important, too - need moisture wicking materials, so dont wear cotton socks. Don’t bring too much food and water - i.e. Don’t go overboard with it. 1 liter per person per hour is a good guideline. Be sure to actually drink it, too. Don’t want to be carrying all that water weight the whole hike. Hiking poles can be really useful for difficult terrain, but they also just improve your efficiency by taking some of the weight off your legs. Bring rain gear like FrogToggs if it’s likely to rain. You want to stay dry as much as you can.
If you’re in the US, the national parks are really great. State parks are also a good resource. If you can make a trip out west to Utah/Colorado, the parks there are great (maybe wait until Summer’s over to go to Utah, though). The northern parks are great too - Wyoming and Montana are really nice.
The fuck is a “removed” removed?
Well yeah, him being in more debt means he is more for sale
He’s my little removed boy, Jack. After a long day, pop pop needs to take a load off, you know? So I sit right on his face and read the papers, Jack. He loves it! We keep that little removed all tied up and my aides bring him over when I need a sit-down. He begs pop pop to sit on his face and use him as a little removed chair.
Kind of like being under a bridge on one’s knees orally pleasing a vagrant while simulataneously drinking liquified meth through a dirty rag. But in a good way though - definitely give it a try
The attacks aren’t aimed at the criticism of Biden. They’re aimed at the result of that criticism. People want everyone who reads that criticism to understand that, obviously, Trump is worse in many, many ways, even if he were the same as Biden on Palestine.
He isn’t the same. He’s worse and has said as much. Leading politicians in his party have suggested using nukes on Palestine, etc. etc. But even being equal on this one point, he’d still be so much worse overall for everyone. So people want to stop those potential outcomes of criticism, not the criticism.
When applied to multinationals, it would result in companies exporting high skill jobs overseas to bring pay down. Would need to legislate behavior as well to stop companies trying to get around it
Not illegal anymore bucko
