Sorry, but you had only to wait 1/2 hour. AP reporting that the VA is looking to close >1100 facilities, privatize the system with vouchers, which will then, presumably,  not be accepted by most private practitioners. Mazel tov.

Wait your turn. President “I don’t like guys who were captured” will probably soon be convinced by his Republican pals that Disabled will trump Veteran, and they’ll start converting you and your comrades to their “American Health Care” plans so that the funds set aside for veterans’ care can be better spend on…

Where are all of the hysterical Republicans that were complaining about the Clinton Foundation? Fuck all of them.

They don’t actually have principles, they just want their (white) guys to win and they’ll hit the other side with whatever blunt rhetorical object is handy.

So sickening. All of those fuckers are so EVIL it takes my breath away. I’m supposed to meet up this weekend with friends who are Republicans. They didn’t vote or support Cheeto and are horrified by him but I know they still support the party in general. I’ll have to ask them how in the hell they can still support GOP…

They KNOW how fucked this is, and made sure their own asses were…

“If I had to defend Obamacare, I’d go into hysterics, too,” Georgia Republican Doug Collins said in response.”

Hysteric Origin

John McCain always gets hysterical when he’s blabbering on about torture and POWs. Real Men kill their foes without getting captured.

Caring about other people is enough to get you labeled hysterical these days? Sign me up.

They just want carte blanche to do whatever the fuck they want to/in/with foreign countries, without having to answer for it.

all these people dropping around him and yet drfufjmp rolls on, not getting impeached or anything

Thank fuck. Here’s hoping the door gave him an ass-kicking on the way out.

I cannot get enough of this Fyre Festival Failure. Its SO funny to me. Keep the updates coming!

What is a 25 year old doing running a major event like this? I see this all the time when a company brings in some young overconfident kid who talks a big game, who went to a nice school, has the right connections and knows how to speak hipster.
