~~...I don't know who these people are.~~
Normally I'm the chronically online one, LOL!
The people don’t matter as much as the message of the meme. But for future reference that’s Kamala Harris the democratic nominee for United States president and her husband Doug Emhoff.
I was pretty sure that was Kamala but the dude threw me and I was trying to figure out if he was the prospective VP.
Nah, Governor Walz is the one who is 4 months older than her, looks 20 years older and is about 5 years cooler 😁
Wait what, I though the dude was like 70
Nope, only 60 lol. I was surprised as hell too!
Fun fact: he’s younger than Brad Pit!
Holy shit, that's true! 😮
One of my nurse mentors years ago used to say "city miles hit harder than highway miles" and both military service AND the chronic physical and behavioral conditions it often results in definitely count as "city miles" for the purposes of this analogy! On a similar note my sister with several developmental and metabolic disorders is almost 40 but looks 55+. She went salt-n-pepper gray just a little after the age of 25.
I know, right? The more I read about him the more I like. I've worked with a looot of disabled veterans who get treated like trash once they get out so it's nice to see someone put their money where their mouth is.
A lot of people, esp right-wingers, will say shit like they want to support veterans instead of all these moochers on public assistance and drug addicts and I often struggle to convince them that that venn diagram is damn near a fucking circle.
Can confirm, family business. From the minute you walk into MEPS till the VA you are just a serial number piece of meat. Anyone who fights for better vet treatment gets a solid 👍 in my book. Some of those “drug addict moochers” had more medals than cloth on the uniform when it came time to clean out the closet but who cares about that after they come home right
