[With the enormous caveat that of course I disagree with a majority of his policies:]

Not to mention he doesn’t even suck. He picked a really bad running mate, big deal. He was also a war hero and seemed like a decent guy. If political bullshit is a reason to tell a guy who just got a death sentence “fuck you,” then you’re a dickhead (looking at you jujymonkey)

Glioblastomas are just a bad way to go, and you will definitely go from them in a fairly short time period. I’m so sorry for him and his family.

You may disagree with him politically, but anybody who went through what he did in Vietnam deserved to die in his sleep after a long retirement.

Same. My grandma had colon cancer and my grandpa has incurable colorectal cancer. Nobody deserves that. Nobody.

No. I don’t care how much the guy sucks, I wouldn’t wish glioblastoma on anyone. It took my grandmother in six months and it’s awful.

You’re a tremendous asshole.

This is far down so I do not know whether it will be seen.

“The Republicans never discuss how good their healthcare bill is, & it will get even better at lunchtime.The Dems scream death as OCare dies!”

I can’t remember which vertical this was on, but earlier this week some clearly well-informed Kinja commenter earnestly argued that it makes perfect sense for insurance to cover ED pills but not birth control, because unlike birth control, ED pills have lots of medical uses that have nothing to do with sex.

This argument boggles my mind when it comes up in health care too. “Why should men have to pay for maternity coverage?”

Potentially stupid question, so enlighten me, medical folks - I had a miscarriage recently. No heartbeat on the three month ultrasound. Waited a week to see if it would happen naturally, but no luck, so I was scheduled in for a D&C, as they were worried about the risk of infection, and also, ya know, the psychological…

Seconded. This argument boggles my mind when it comes up in health care too. “Why should men have to pay for maternity coverage?” BECAUSE YOU ARE HALF OF THE FUCKING EQUATION. Women don’t get pregnant on their own, and we don’t get to opt out of insurance coverages we don’t think we’ll ever need. That’s not how…

All of Wisconsin will suffer if this bill passes, not just Wisconsin women. I wish ACOG had realized that in their letter. Though women are the only recipients of abortion, reproductive care and having certified OB/GYNs has an impact on everyone. We have to stop the bullshit that says that reproductive issues ONLY…

WOW. This type of thing drives me extra crazy because ABORTION IS LEGAL. So this is telling the university to just not teach a certain medical practice to medical students. Its like telling them not to learn how to do stitches on patients. Ridiculous, hopefully this does not pass.

Just seeing that lead photo and reading the headline was enough to fill my heart with pure lust for designer cheddar.

I think the real question is, who wouldn’t?

As I asked in another thread about the WaPo/ABC poll, who the hell are the 11% of people who identify themselves as Democrats but still “approve” of Trump’s performance? They should be identified and ridiculed at length (and possibly at width)...

“White House Accuses Outgoing Ethics Chief of Grandstanding in Statement That Misspells His Name”

If the son’s a twit, you must acquit!

I love stories where rich, straight white people overcome devastating adversity.
