Certainly not a SRIOTD, but John Fetterman (D-PA) has offered to officiate the marriages of any same-sex couples who reach out to him.

Greeneus???

I searched it and the only results seem to be about a stuffed toy cyclops.

ETA: The software isn’t quoting the Twitter post, but look up at the post I’m replying to in order to see it.

ETAM: (M= more): I guess the US flag in Empty’s Twitter/X account gets translated as “us”–why it’s not capitalized must be an Elon thing. (Is it SA and not sa?)

Anyway, my speculation that Empty was seeing herself as some sort of Roman Gladiator apparently is not correct. 🫤

From your link:  
**A cattleman discusses vegetable vaccines:**

> “The problem you have is if it’s not treated as a pharmaceutical being the size and difference between you and me, how many tomatoes do I have to eat to get the proper dosage versus how many tomatoes you have to eat, and if you eat too many you get an overdose. If you eat too less, like we had in the cattle industry with Aureomycin, dosing our cattle properly, and the horn flies were developing an immunity to it. If we don’t have the proper dosage of the vaccine it could lead to the efficacy of that drug not working anymore.”

The man has a way with words, don’t you think?

In terms of what he is trying to say, he has a legitimate point. About antibiotics. Which are not at all like vaccines. Overdose on a vaccine? can that even happen?

I think the moron from Tennessee is worried about eating a burger with lettuce on it and ending up getting μchipped.
