“I was one of those - that hoped he would rise to the occasion as president and aspire to lead our nation instead of divide it,” he told reporters at the Capitol. “He has not risen to the occasion.”
smh. That’s like expecting a yeast infection to make good bread.
Another one bowing out yet no calls for impeachment. More hot air.
Hot air: “When the next generation asks us, ‘Why didn’t you do something? Why didn’t you speak up?’ What are we going to say?” Flake said. “Mr. President, I rise today to say, enough.”
“It is time for our complicity and our accommodation of the unacceptable to end,” Flake said.
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Edit: Putrid Hot Air: Flake voted with trump 91.7% of the time.

“The vaginal yeast seems to make a bit of a difference for the better and I have no fucking clue why.”

Whether it was good bread or not would depend on people’s reaction after being told when they’d just finished a few slices.
Which seems funny to me, given that a large plurality of the general population has no qualms about putting their honey where their mouth is.
I’d try it.
O_O
Scrapings from between the toes might work too.
Could news stories not use “Trump Goes Nuclear” as hyperbole? It might cause people to be slow to react when it’s literally true, and every second counts.
If shit actually ‘goes nuclear,’ no one will be able to react fast enough, no matter what they do; and I can only pray I’m at an impact point so I can be vaporized instantly if, heaven forbid, it should come to that.
I may have told this story before, but back when I was in elementary school not far from Columbus Ohio in the early-to-mid 80s, we had to occasionally do tornado drills and ‘emergency’ drills, and one well-meaning (?) teacher told us, “Don’t worry too much about these drills. It’s for when Russia sends their missiles. If that happens, we’re close enough to a defense construction plant and the headquarters of CompuServe that we’ll be on the first strike list, so you and your families will be wiped out instantly. You won’t have to worry about fallout or radiation poisoning or anything.” At least one kid had to go home crying after that.
Yep, I think you may have shared that story before. That teacher had good intentions (probably) but terrible execution.
That said, I remember those drills too; including how they quietly got phased out.
I remember when the wall in Berlin came down, and the Cold War allegedly ended, and I remember thinking how we could finally stop being afraid of the ‘big bad ruskies’ as some kind of evil monolithic boogieman.
How naive I was…
It’s been on my mind a lot lately with daily news about nuclear missiles. Ah, the 80s are back, and gosh, I didn’t miss them.
Not. At. All.
While some of the music was better back then, not much else was.
I can think of one icon of the 80s that I am both amazed and grateful is still with us, and possibly more popular now than ever.

ETA: As the thread notes: if Flake isn’t hardcore enough, think about where things are going.
If they are, maybe this time I’ll remember then, The only thing I can go by on now is the music I somehow collected.
