New 'squad' member able to hold off eating for over 9 hours in protest

Casar fan picks her nose as she listens to a heroic speech

The women of the so-called "squad" have a new member, Rep. Greg Casar (Socialist-TX) and he or she is making quite a name for him or herself, depending on how zrrghpt identifies. [I'm not sure if his or her pronouns, but this one sounds close enough.]

Casar bravely went on a "thirst strike" but he or she is no Bobby Sands [google him] so it was short lived. The strike was aimed to push for federal heat safety precautions across the country, but instead of trying to do his or her job as a lawmaker and pen a law that might help the situation, Casar decided to join his or her fellow protesters and strike while the weather was hot. 

He or she managed to go a full 9 hours before giving up and taking a swig of the wet stuff. They don't make heroes like Casar anymore and the squad is lucky to have zrrghpt. 

Nine hours is 32,400 seconds and that's a full 37.5% of an entire day.

"Yesterday was incredible. I was honored to be joined at my thirst strike by workers in Texas and across the nation—and by lots of colleagues pushing for federal heat safety protections," the squad member tweeted Wednesday. "Nine hours without water or food, but I’m more energized than ever to get this done."

But is it really such a great accomplishment for a squad member? After all, Rep. Ilhan Omar (Socialist-MN) went an entire 19 hours and 34 seconds without making an anti-Semitic statement, and Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose (Full-Blown Commie-NY) was able to go an entire 8 days without a single thought to disturb her. But Casar is new to the women of the squad, and he or she will be hitting on all batteries [because cylinders are for gas-driven vehicles].

Last year over 879,000 workers died of thirst in Texas alone, and Casar along with fellow thirst busters, have decided enough is enough and they were going to stop drinking water for as long as it would take the government to do something about it, or at least until they needed to wet their respective whistles. [Okay, I don't know of a single person who died of thirst in Texas or anywhere else in the nation, but I bet it was more than ten.]

So after nine hours into going with a single drop of H2O, zrrghpt gave up and drank like he had just eaten a dozen Carolina reaper peppers.

Twitter exploded with encouragement for Casar and his or her followers known as Casarettes cheered the congressperson, aka hero, on. 

"Just woke up from my thirst strike," The Spectator contributing editor Stephen L. Miller tweeted.

"Democrat Greg Casar went 8 hours without eating or drinking something. To normal Americans, that's just skipping breakfast or lunch at work," Canary CEO Dan K. Eberhart tweeted. "To him, it's a hunger strike that he set up media cameras for once it was over. What a pathetic stunt."

But whoever said the left is composed of normal Americans?

Good thing Casar isn't a religious Jew on Yom Kippur--they go an entire day with no eating or drinking.
