    My theory is that Biden needs to stay president because he’s broke and this is the only way he can afford to have housing and benefits

    He almost sold his house because he couldn’t afford Beau’s medical bills which prompted Obama to give him a loan lol

      Despite being the Delaware senator, friend of credit card companies for 40 years, he never did manage to figure out how to make money from it and just did it for the love of the game

        I think that’s the most horrible thing about him. He’s either so stupid he never figured out how to make a buck for being the trained clapping seal of capital, but then theres the horror answer; he’s been a true believer the whole time and never demanded a pay check because all the horror, the slavery, the death, the slaughter, he did it because he believed it was the right thing to do.

          Third option: he’s never taken the buck because he wanted to stay squeaky clean because deep down he believes he’s supposed to be president

        friend of credit card companies for 40 years

        “Hey, guys I’ve been doing your bidding for decades. What will you do for me?”

        They tell him they sent $10,000 to a pro-Biden PAC that they control. But did they really? No. Some execs went to Vegas instead. And he sends them a “Thank you” note.

    Skipping the SW discussion, but what’s wrong with two concenting adults snorting Adderall off each other? It’s how me and my partner take our ADHD meds.

    Seriously though, how is “being senile” better than doing adderall off another person’s body, when it comes to discussions of “fit for the office of president”? The adderall lasts for a short while, senility is forever.

      Why would you even do adderall with sex workers? “Let’s get wreck on addy, do some math homework, then go to bed early!” Fucking weirdo. (This is an adhd joke)

        My doc proscribed me too much Addy so I gave some to my friends (it was starting to pile up, I had a literal box full). We had a blast going out clubbing, I felt like I was herding cats. Except for one… One of my friends was just becoming extremely normal and geared down and they couldn’t understand why. Fun way to learn you have ADHD

          I love this genre of story. Stuff like “We all did coke and everyone started laughing and having a good time and being really chatty while I sat on the couch petting the cat and that’s how I learned I had ADHD”.

          Would you say one’s response to Adderall is a reliable indicator to whether one has ADHD?

            No. I don’t know enough about how adderall works to speak confidently like that. I know it’s an indicator, but that’s about it

            I’d say if it just makes you kinda normal you might, but it not doing that doesn’t necessarily rule out ADHD, not every stim works for everybody.

            It’s more of a hey you should probably look into this than a confirmation on it’s own.

      I don’t even feel bad about it.

      We legitimately tried for years to give them good advice that running an octagenarian that 75% of the general public doesn’t want to run paired with somebody who couldn’t crack 10% in any primary was a bad idea.

      They told us we were just Russian trolls or we didn’t know how elections work.

      Congrats, you got exactly what you want.

      Watching the defectors having a moment of clarity and feeling completely confused when they have to point out things like HES THE PRESIDENT is a cherry on top.
