Sydney Bobb, a rising senior at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, snapped the first picture to publicly circulate of Floyd Ray Roseberry, the man police have identified as the would-be bomber, outside the Library of Congress.
I would give a few of my own dollars for this guy to tell me exactly how Joe Biden has failed him and not met his exacting standards for good governance.
It is amazing to realize that this particular element of our society has always been here, right next door, and always living among us. It is bewildering to understand that this element was mostly hidden…until Dotard T rumpp came along, and made domestic terrorism a normal thing to do.
So he’s emblematic of the voters Trump brought to the polls that every GOP pollitician without exception is striving to appeal to now. That’s just fucking dandy.
And these are the same White males who bemoan their loss of “power” (to women, to POC, to Gays) – like the guys who barely made it out of high school had any power in the first place.
Bobb said she is only in D.C. in the first place because UW offered the one-month study away program as “half-assed compensation” for students who were supposed to study abroad in India or Botswana before COVID-19 scuttled those plans.
OT but, I love her assessment here. Universities use so many superlatives and adjectives to describe their programs, when really, “Half-Assed” is so much more appropriate, especially in this case. How I wish that administrators would phrase more of their dispatches like so:
“The University has just announced our new Half Assed Strategic Action Plan to compensate those undergraduates who were screwed out of their study-abroad deposits! Those of you bound for Botswana or India, you get a 2 credit course in the nation’s capitol! If you were bound for Italy, your Falbos Bros. coupons are in the mail.”
HA!!!
I’ll have you know I made a spectacular confetti bomb back in high school. I blew it up at a party in celebration of the Brazilian Carnival. Lots of confetti in our beer. We drank it, anyway. We were only 17, and were just so excited to be drinking beer! Lowenbrau! Good German beer! Back in 1982, anyway.
How old is this guy? He looks old enough to have voted since 2000! (I could be off by a year or so). I registered to vote on my 18th birthday – and the number of primaries/elections/special elections I have missed SINCE 1978 is less than a dozen.
