not swallow

Unlike a lot of people, though, I did not swallow the Kool-Aid.

The assassin could not swallow, he was completely paralyzed.

Musk, whose previous commentary on the Russia-Ukraine war has raised international concerns, retorted that Kelly should not “swallow media & other propaganda bs,” deemed Starlink “the communication backbone of Ukraine,” and implied that any fixes to the satellite system’s issues would “enable escalation of conflict that may lead to WW3,” presumably referring to the Ukrainian military’s dependence on the hardware.

But his futile effort reminds me of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s warning that “politics must not swallow up all of a people’s spiritual and creative energies.”

I could not swallow water for two weeks.
