In all fairness I have trouble telling the difference between men. They all tend to have the same hairstyle.

Hillary, right? That’s what Anna Merlan seems to think.

Exactly! Pretending that the two things are even on the same planet is buying exactly into the false equivalency.

I’m sure the AIDS patients in Africa being kept alive on drugs subsidised by money the Clinton Foundation think it’s doing pretty fucking awesome work.

I would feel bad for those donors, but they gave money to Trump, and it was for the purpose of getting him elected, so fuck ‘em, couldn’t happen to a nicer person.

I learned about Stephen and Matilda from ‘The Pillars of the Earth’! High five!

“We would certainly know if Victoria was in love with Melbourne.”

Not surprising. CRP is used to measure inflammatory bowel disease. Trump has Crohns or something of that ilk.

Yeah, they often just throw them in for fun. I suppose if it came back at 400 mg/dl that would be useful info. But it’s NBD if they also do an A1C, because the A1C doesn’t care what you ate today.

But what the fuck is a ‘calcium score’?

No, I figured it out. It’s not the doc who’s incompetent, ordering the wrong test for heart attack risk, he ordered the right test and Trump has inflammatory bowel disease. That’s why he has a gastroenterologist for a primary care person.

Well, you will notice that there’s no indication of whether it was fasting, 2h postprandial or anything else. A random blood glucose is not indicative of much at all (unless it’s crazy). But the A1c would tell the real story. Let me guess, they didn’t bother with an A1c.

If he wasn’t sick, why did they test for CRP?

Oh shit, is he on facebook posting climate denialist memes again?

Well, the IRs did say that it was perfectly fine for a presidential candidate to release their returns, even when under audit. Others have done it. That he probably isn’t being audited is irrelevant, except in supporting the image of his as a compulsive liar, porr businessman and inverterate fraud. And since we know…

That’s because businesses with under 50 employees don’t give it. Their employees are still fcked.

Well, you know, it’s not like the parent of a child under a year in full time care would ever nee to use a sick day. So it’s perfectly sensible to make them use them all up before they can take FMLA.

How many kids have you adopted?

Most developed countries have passed the tipping point into people having fewer than replacement, and developing countries are heading there too (it is not a matter of economic development, but medical access. If women can get hold of contraception, they use it). Most developed countries are trying to encourage women…

Well, I do hate those fucking Scots, coming over here with their tartan and their haggis, stealing all the sexy people away with their accents. Next thing your know there’ll be a fish and chip van on every corner!
