We need to stop calling this an accident. That implies no one is at fault and that it could not have been prevented. They knew the rails were bad and that they needed replaced and they fucking did nothing at all.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: There are better things to attack Trump for than how he looks, what physical conditions he has or how he smells.
At face value, those sorts of things have little effect on the ability to run a country well.
Even his hair is a better target because how he wears it would appear to show vanity, a quality that might actually interfere with stable management. That's still a relatively big stretch without other evidence (of which there would appear to be plenty) though.
Attack his ideas, his intents, his politics. He makes this easy enough, right? Start there.
"LOL u smel" is something you expect in the playground. Something Trump himself might use, perhaps.

Fuck, man, I’m not saying that the smell is necessarily a good strategic choice for winning over voters, but if it is, Biden absolutely should hammer on it. Fuck the “We go high” shite.
“Fine, if you’re not going to vote Biden, at least vote down ballot. Primaries and local offices are the next wave of politicians.”
[Funds into primaries to remove progressives from office, backs conservatives because of “electability”.]
“Oh uh, sorry. By the way this is you, the pleb’s fault, not the rich we gladly accept. Maybe next year we won’t pull the football out of the way when someone pays us to?”
Sorry, the rest of us need to stick our heads in the sand if Trump and Russia are not involved. You know how unions work… well I don’t, I’m from the US.
My point is people get pissed when you mess with available food options, its the principle of the matter. Since food is so important any amount of fucking with food will anger folks due to instinctual reinforcement.
You are focusing way too much on the fact that its McDonald’s. The point im making is largely seperate from the quality of said food, and is moreso focused on the fact that people dont generally like being cut off from different sources of food. We all catalog that shit either actively or passively, but if youre hungry and nothing else is available ya aint gonna care about quality.
Also I have eaten the fucking egg MRE, McDonald’s is certainly closer to food than that abomination.

Fucking this. I once went on a week long “survivalist” camping trip. Your options for dinner were catching something yourself, or an MRE. Between the 5 of us that went, we caught exactly one rabbit the whole week.
We got a mountain of McDoubles(this was back when they were $1) on the way home and it was heavenly in comparison to that shite.
Oh you dont know the half of it. The egg MRE is one of the ones taken out of military rotation cause of how bad it is, for context Steve1989MRE gagged while eating one this is a man who ate Boar war proto ration and civil war hard tack.
I would rather eat a live rat than the egg MRE, no wonder the surplus place I got it from had a fucken warning on it and the dude at the counter made sure I wanted it three times.
Both of these guys are ancient. I wouldn’t care if any of them used drugs (as long as they don’t pose long-term risks for their health) because they might as well be medication. Or are we going to be so dense that the idea that two 80 years olds are likely taking some medication is going to fly over our heads? Furthermore, where do we draw the line of what a “drug-enhancing drug” is? Coffee? Most adults take it to function under inhuman schedules. Adderall? If you do have ADHD, you do also need it to function; if you don’t have it, it’s going be even less useful than coffee. Anything else that they bought at a pharmacy? I don’t care.
All in all, this looks like a talking point made up by people who want to treat politics like a sport, where we’re supposed to watch “athletes” compete with equal opportunity for performance, which is definitely not what a presidential debate should be about.
Use of stimulants like amphetamine or methamphetamine, which are both drugs prescribed for ADHD comes with many side effects. When abused they deteriorate the brain and body quite strongly and they have many psychological problems associated with them like delusions, developing a lack of empathy, disorientation…
80 years old should definitely not do speed, even if it is doctor prescribed.
As far as I know, Adderall for people without ADHD induces the self-perception of higher performance, yet increase in performance isn’t actually statistically noticeable, so it might be useful for someone who feels emotionally stuck (afraid of failing, tired), but not for someone who does not have the capacity to do well, much like caffeine only gives you the self-perception that you’re less tired than you actually are.
i dunno dude, one time I got a gram of basement crank and was excited to try it, so I horked a rail right before band practice. our lead singer/guitarist was like “yo your drumming is so tight today, youre on fire!” and I was like “speed!”
They’re more likely using “wakefulness promoting agents” like modafinil and armodafinil (Provogil/Nuvigil respectively, or probably some better shit in the same class) which are actually kind of amazing and I have zero issue with them taking it.
Non-euphoric, and as far as I’m aware, not physically habit forming; it just keeps you awake and alert, I don’t know how else to describe it. Essentially none of the side effects (pleasurable or not) of traditional stimulants. After about 8-10 hours you sleep pretty ok.
I’m really not sure why these drugs haven’t become more popular over the last decade or two… Probably the whole “not habit forming” thing.
I’ve got a stash that I’ve had in a drawer for 5+ years and I’ll take one like three times a year or something as needed.

Yo, I just re-read your comment. Yeah, that’s… not good. Modafinil is deffo one of those ones youre supposed to titrate off of and going off of it cold turkey or only using it here and there is one of the ways to get those really dangerous side effects. Please stop this.
There is no titrating off a single dose, what do you mean? Titration would require taking the drug regularly for a period of time and then stopping.
I think you misunderstood what I said. I take one on the super rare occasion that I feel I need it, which probably averages out to like 3 times a year or less. There is nothing dangerous about that, and if you think there is then you’re misinformed.
not physically habit forming; it just keeps you awake and alert…
The military would like to know your location as it keeps having problems with minor issues like sailors falling asleep while driving ships.
Jokes aside, these are incredibly habit forming in the wrong environments. Under supervision and attempting to stabilize your sleep schedule they’re great. But the abuse envelope is huge, from truckers to cops.
This is kind of obvious and I probably don’t have to say it but…
Trump is doing this to weasel his way out of a debate he shouldn’t have agreed to. No way in hell Trump subjects himself to the same drug test. He’s betting on Biden not agreeing to it either so he can just say “well those liberals are obviously playing dirty so I’m out”
You are definitely right that this is a manipulative move on Trump’s part to make Biden look bad and get out if this debate.
But aren’t most people in their 80’s on a bunch of drugs anyway? Like blood pressure pills, cholesterol medicine, diuretics, arthritis medication etc? I’m not trying to stereotype older folks, but every person I’ve met over 60 seems to take a lot of pills… that help them live and perform actions they couldn’t otherwise.
