While libtard treehuggers take our #Straws, some misguided #MAGA are playing right into their hands saying Real Men don't drink from straws, presumably it reminds them of the face someone makes when paid to suck their micropeen.
But the real problem is there hasn't been a manly straw.
Until now.
Thanks to #EagleTactical, you can get 100% kevlar drinking tubes. Some call them straws, but don't be fooled. These tubes increase man points and testosterone by over 10000%.

Republican Congressman Seriously Claims Straws Are Only for Women

Fellas, is it gay to use a straw?

In a crusade for common sense and sturdier sipping, the Trump administration has declared war on paper straws, blaming them for soggy drinks, public suffering and an un-American attack on plastic patriotism. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/05/06/world/war-against-paper-straws/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #straws #plastic #pollution #waste #donaldtrump #joebiden
A world restored: The U.S. takes the offensive against paper straws

The Trump team has issued an executive order and a national strategy to rid the country of the pulpy, soggy mess of paper straws that torments too many of America's citizens.

The US may have plastic #straws, but we have good #transit, #walkable neighbourhoods, and a variety of different post-work drinks.

People know this is insane, right?

One thing that @dw_innovation needs to remark is that it never was about #PlasticStraws!

  • Compared to all the #Billionaires destroying the envoirment (see @elonjet ) I'm shure noone can consume so many #straws to even come close even if they literally single-use them every time they take a sip from a drink.

We'd save the world faster and more effectively by #BanBilliomaires and seizing all assets around the globe exceeding €99M because at that level of #wealth it's generating so much #RoboWealth that one can't spend it unless one were to literally want to waste it all!

I already talked about that tho...

Are plastic straws really so bad for the environment?

The US government has scrapped paper straws to go back to plastic. So why are the plastic variety restricted in many countries around the world in the first place?

I am disturbed by the video of the Paper Straw Executive Order. Howard Lutnick's giggling during the signing amplifies the farce that "we the people" have become.

Trump signs executive order to ditch paper #straws for plastic

“These things don’t work,” he complained of the paper alternatives. “I’ve had them many times, and on occasion, they break, they #explode.”

The #Trump administration is pushing for the return of plastic straws, falsely claiming that they contain "no measurable #PFAS" although studies have proven the opposite.
