Vader ain't in charge of the empire.  He takes orders just like everyone else. 

Anyone see her video she posted outside of her office.  She's complaining how she works long hours.  Welcome to the real world honey.  How come so much silence from Waters, Pocahontas, Green, Schumer?

But then he died and even his son took orders.

If this was any other politician, I would ask what the hell does Star Wars have to do with the politician.  But with AOC, it makes sense.

same banks that funded Star Wars fund airplanes, oil industry etc.
How many MPG does an Imperial AT-AT consume? or should I say how much carbon emissions? Theres technology in Star Wars that can benefit us but we haven't invented them yet. Ever notice that no one uses a wheel in Star Wars? We should learn from that.

That's an opinion statement.

Please explain why he's "a joke" and "isn't trustworthy."

So easy to toss grenades at someone's character who can't respond.  On what facts and examples do you base your conclusion?

He was a mouth piece for Monsanto. He told them Roundup it is so safe we could drink a quart(pint?) with no health effects. The people doing the interview poured a glass of it and he refused to take a sip and left the interview.

He lost any scientific credibility to me after that.

So, he made a point that a quart of the ingredient would not kill him, but you think he's not credible because he refused to drink it like it was a soft drink?

Do you routinely ask people to ingest substances they deem nonlethal to humans just to prove a point?  Nonlethal vs perfectly safe are not synonymous.

This is your scientific thought process?

He said he would drink it, not just that he could. Then when they offered it to him he stopped the interview. He didn't explain that it tastes terrible or that it could give him a stomach ache, he just stopped the interview. In my book that cost him serious credibility. I also know he is a paid spokesperson for the company, not some objective scientist. And my position has nothing to do with any stance on Roundup or Monsanto, I personally own a jar of roundup I use but his performance hurt him.

But this is kind of off topic at this point, I am not saying I agree with AOC either.

I agree, as the spokesperson who said "it's safe", I would have taken a sip if it really was safe and I believed my own BS.  But then again, Ballard says "we're safe, and if needed call 911 and they will come".

Have you read the poison control center warning on grass and weed killers?

Weakness

As I said, it's not something that is likely to kill you, but neither is it 100% safe to drink a quart of.

I think he was called out on a ridiculous statement, but it in no way changes the fact that the chemical is not harmful to humans when used properly.  Drinking a quart of it isn't part of the directions.

so if Roundup works on weeds can it work on AOC?
Is there a study or evidence to prove it would or would not work?
A lack of either is a YES!
