    Get rid of plastic straws! Save the environment!

    Excuse me while me and my 27 friends l take separate jets to Europe for the weekend.

    The banks are too big to fail! Gotta go e them money because they ran outta money because they were bad with money. Also, that overdraft fee that was actually a clerical error that was hard coded into our platform will cost you $250 because it’s the 5th one this year.

    something something trans people, cat food school, bathrooms, pedophilia. Idk some more buzzwords. Just don’t look at me and my 27 friends while we all fly out separate jets back home before doing it all again.

    And if you do look… ooga booga the gays!

    Yeah, I hate this timeline.

    Edit: fun fact! Clinton, Bush Jr, Trump, and Biden were all in high school at the same time.

      Another fun fact. JFK was born only 7 years before Bush Sr. 7 US presidents in a row all born around the same time.

        I mean, one of those is not like the others. I’ll give you a hint…

        It’s JFK. JFK is not like the others.

          Well, obviously. If 7 people all had their birthdays within a few years of each other, but each person served as president 4-8 years after the previous person, naturally they will keep getting older and older. The earlier people in that group of 7 were younger when they were president than the later people in that group of 7. The point was that those later people were old AF.

              I guess, if that’s your opinion. I can’t say I fully agree. I’m a huge fan of LBJ personally, despite him flubbing the Vietnam war. He cared deeply for educating the impoverished and racial minorities. He passed dozens of environmental laws. He also was responsible for a bunch of the beautification initiatives, which resulted in planting tons of trees. He was responsible for creating a ton of national parks. He even knew he fucked up the Vietnam war, and he decided he wasn’t going to run for another term because of the decisions he made related to it. It’s my opinion that he felt he didn’t deserve the presidency anymore after making poor choices regarding Vietnam. Whatever the reason he had, it shows great emotional intelligence. And honestly, it makes me sad, because I feel like with 4 more years, he could have done so much more good for civil rights and the environment.

              I also am a bit biased because I live in the city that he was from, so I get to enjoy the fruits of his and his wife’s labor. All the trees they planted here are all grown and are gorgeous. I love how many parks we have here and how big they all are. And I can thank them for putting in the work, even though they knew they would not be the ones to benefit from it. It would be the future generations that would benefit.
