I mean, it’s possible he’s gripping a pipe/snorkel of some kind in his hand protruding through the top of the bag itself.

He’d just have to grip it tight and hold it above water as he wades through. Perhaps it’s just deep enough that there’s not a reasonable way for him to hold the kid completely out of the water, but it’s easy enough for him to hold him up just enough that water doesn’t come in over the top of the bag itself.

With the amount of air in the bag to be “full” and relatively pressurized, he’d reliably have several minutes before any issues. It’s not like it’s suctioned around the kid’s face. There’s several minutes of air in there. More than enough time to ford a river with width measured in yards.

He only has the power to do that for the executive branch. He can’t compel citizens or corporations to follow along - not with the law anyway. He is getting away with it because the people whose pockets he’s lining are happy to play along as long as number goes up. That’s all they care about.

General and social anxiety are correlated with some types of autism. Doesn’t mean everyone on the spectrum has anxiety nor that everyone who experiences these types of anxiety is on the spectrum. But it is a data point. String enough of them together and you just might stumble your way into a diagnosis. Or that’s how I did anyway.

This is not a “no politics” community. You might have confused it with one of the many communities that have a “no politics” rule.

I really don’t know how you made that mistake to be honest.

Please enlighten me, what does “Tard” mean?

Growing up in the southern US — just about every old person I know says “want in one hand, shit in the other. See which fills up faster” so this is just a slight variation on that phrase.

It’s a stage name. His real name is Will Flanary and Glaucomflecken is a medical term:

Glaucomflecken are small, gray-white spots that form on the front layer of the eye’s natural lens. They are the physical scars left behind when the eye has suffered a sudden, severe spike in internal pressure, typically due to an episode of acute angle-closure glaucoma.

Sorry, I must be one of the 40% of Americans that don’t give a shit why you’re trying to take the wind out of the sails of the movement, just that you are.
