The GOP
@lemmy.world
When did Presidential power start to include the power to jail whoever you want? Why does anyone even imagine that might be an ok situation?
I lost any general respect for nearly half of my fellow citizens in 2016, it hasnt improved a lot since.
This is exactly how it should be handled. Don't let the Republican party have an escape path of pushing out away from 47 when the policies turn the US economy and world standing to shit.
It is The Republicans who are doing this, all of them, not just some single psychotic politician. The GOP should never be trusted with even the power of a city commision job ever again adter this all blows up. The 33% (or whatever it is) of the possible voters who chose red should bear full responsibility for what they have approved happening. They can't just say they "couldn't have known".
Former heavy smoker here, quit two decades ago. It creates a strong craving, which briefly supplies pleasure when you appease it. It provides (or at least used to) social connection with other smokers, particularly at "smoking breaks".
And it gives you something recognizable to do while waiting for something. Rather than sitting there, staring out with a stupid look on your face, you instead sit there smoking a cigarette.
It's an incredibly difficult addiction to break, it's expensive, and these days identifies you as either very old or more or less a loser. Avoid, avoid.
thanks for using Leebra!
