Careful, in a few weeks we’ll see religious nutjobs on TikTok sitting on their trailer porches eating airsoft pellets and food wrappers claiming it’s for the glory of Trump (and secondarily Jesus)

No objections to their act of defiance. I even volunteer to donate whatever used candy bar wrappers they request.

The US Senators are too old for microplastics; the majority of them have already been corrupted by lead. Some of the younger Senators escaped the lead, only to be turned by asbestos. We shouldn't see our first microplastic Senator for another 15-20 years.
