For the curious the other endorsement they made was for Joe Biden in 2020.

I am so confused.

George Will

Who? Has he played a significant role in past elections and I’ve never noticed?

Why? Why is this part of this story? It makes me want to care even less. Is that the point?

What is the “I’m being sarcastic” emoji?

Are you advocating tags for all inflections of verbal speach or just sarcasm?

This past week has provided so many opportunities to share this image.

A good reminder to support ideas and policies, not parties.

I suspect that this may be partially a result of a recent post of mine that some may considered to be in bad taste. So this response is likely to be a bit biased.

For what it is worth, I considered tagging mine as NSFW but ultimately decided it was not necessary. I thought the image was very clearly a staged representation of drug use.

Do I think drug use alone require a NSFW tag? No.

Should drug coupled with blood, gore, physical injury, exploitation, etc? Possibly.

• The US government is shoveling huge amounts of money towards an individual that dismisses and devalues half of the world’s population with an active sexual harassment suit against him.

• Consumers might want to know if they are supporting if they are supporting a mysogynist by using his privately owned social media service or buying energy products / vehicles from a company he heads up as CEO.

• Trump has announced an intention to have this man lead a new “Government Efficiency Commission” and this behavior reflects both on Trump for the sort of people he elevates into positions of power and reflects on Musk as a potential public servant.

Threatening to impregnate a woman is not a good tactic for a man who is currently fighting a sexual harassment.

During tonight’s debate, Trump spread lies he read on the internet about Haitian migrants eating pets in Ohio.
