Good point.

Yes. I’m not sure how such stupid people manage to get to be doctors, much less specialists, but they are out there. It’s not something I like to think about when going to the ER, or going under for surgery.

Modern Conservatives in nutshell.

I think what she was alluding to was; can we stop making drugs to treat HIV? That way, no drugs, people die, bippity, boppity, boo -.no one alive to spread this punishment-sent-from-god

It also means that people who are HIV+ can, with some modifications, pretty much live a normal, productive life!

Because the benefit of doing all that can be done to help prevent the infection of more people with a permanent, severe, expensive, potentially deadly (when properly medicated & treated, inevitably deadly when left untreated) illness is far greater than the cost of making sure that all HIV+ people are getting access…

Ugh, when idiots like her manage to become doctors, it just makes me sick to my stomach. Someone at least as idiotic as her could be in charge of keeping you or me alive someday.

Jesus, I had assumed that was just a southern server thing.

I don’t know about hate issues, as I don’t know the guy. But he definitely has issues, and also his share of embarrassing/offensive crap.

That... is weird as hell. I can’t imagine wanting so badly to pooint out a person’s color that someone goes to that kind of trouble inventing codenames for them.

When he leaves the whitehouse, I wish someone would kick him in the junk. Then, while he lies curled up and wailing on the ground, the kicker informs him that “You knew what you signed up for when you left the house today.”

At least W, for all his many faults, sounded like he was capable of feeling some empathy for other people. And it’s so very, very depressing that we’ve sunk this low, that pointing out that the previous worst president was at least capable of sometimes acting like a human being is even being brought up.

If they are, they gave up the chase round the 15th luau, and have just been drawing pay for vacationing.

He knowingly burns through a few million every weekend he goes golfing. That he’s now balking at paying out a measly promised 25K — for the surviving family of a US soldier who died dutifully doing whatever harebrained thing Trump & Co. was demanding of him —makes me sick.

He the ... URGH... president, and he’s also shown himself to be a gleefully wasteful bastard — why not just have someone fly a helicopter to this dad’s house, land in front of his house, and present him with the check? Yeah, it would be expensive, but you can also send a camera crew to catch the entire thing on video…

Then it would stand to reason that tearing them down whenever they were encountered would also constitute free speech. I don’t mean to imply that that is a solution, because it sure as hell isn’t.

Jesus christ!

I think the problem is, that unless the “bus” from the metaphor is roaring over the cliff, Americans, especially a lot of Dems, lose interest in politics, and in communicating with the party in general. In the absence of active feedback and participation, it just sort of ends up assuming a holding pattern - the…

Look, right now the whole country is riding on a bus that is being driven at breakneck speed over a cliff. I would like radical change, I’m not just saying that — but right now priority number one is stopping the bus from going over the cliff. We can argue about taking the middle path, or the left exit afterward — but…

It’s politics. NO ONE has a spotless background. The only people who MIGHT have a spotless background are utter newbs, and will have lost that by the time a presidential campaign is over anyway.
