Like sure that might seem easier and less awkward than acknowledging the fact that he just took a shit on the floor But if you just let him get away with it and nothing happens to the guy you've just announced to everyone shitting on the floor is okay

Then before you know it you're the restaurant where people shit on the floor, it's normal now It happens surprisingly quickly

It's this common anecdote about the fall of the USSR that "People knew the Soviet Union was dying as a country when everyone started peeing in elevators" You know -- when at first just drunk assholes did it but nothing happened to them and no one bothered to clean it up

And soon enough you reach the point where every single elevator in every public building already reeks of piss so much you're like "Hey what difference does it make, I have to go now too"

The 25th requires the party in power to have ethics. They don’t.

He’s absolutely unfit for office. But something like standing isn’t a prerequisite to be a leader. Suggesting otherwise is massively ableist, especially when there’s a growing list of real reasons he shouldn’t be responsible for a country.

Isn't there a difference between someone who struggles to stay upright because of e.g. pneumonia, and someone whose healthy baseline is not standing?
