We send people to die for ~~their country~~ the wealthy all the time and call them heros.
Sure, there may be some health risks with standing and talking for that long without going to the restroom, but that's between him and his doctor. There's no reason to make this a public issue other than to emphasize that he's a hero, too.
That said...
“Dehydration can have serious consequences, particularly for older adults,”
Drink more water, people.
True. There are definitely more praiseworthy things than not pissing for 25 hours.
But still I think it's rare to see a mainstream politician show such commitment.
I just figured he wore a diaper...?
Like Donnie shits his pants on stage all the time. What's a little pee in my pants to save Medicare and Medicaid? I can set myself up for a poopless day in a snap. Just eat a lot of cheese and not a lot else.
Ah, Lemmy.
Always loops back to ‘how to not poop’ around here.
The article says he didn't wear a diaper:
A rep for Booker confirmed to TMZ that he did not wear a diaper during his speech.
catherers are traditional here
The Catheter Cowboy needs some new Fox ads, amiright?
That's what patriots do to defend their country. They put themselves in danger so others don't have to
We need to learn from that.
I think in cases of long speeches, Grassley's desk is allowed to be used as a urinal.
And here I'd assumed he'd cath'd himself.
