The consolidation of healthcare is horrible for Americans.

Price isn't the only issue. I have seen this time and again in my circle. You see one doctor in system for an issue, the notes get passed to every doctor in that system. So if you are trying to run down the issue you notice they are all going back to the original diagnosis and not exploring anything on their own. You step out of that health system for an opinion and they start over? All of a sudden things change. Personally, for anything significant I am now using the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus for a second opinion. They are a teaching school and not fixated on making money and in addition have in general more advanced services. I see local orthopedic surgeon surgery is the only option. I go to U of M? I hear things like: "I see no need for surgery at this time. We can do physical therapy for sure but let's start with a cortisone shot to help remove the inflammation."

Sorry but how often do healthy people with no history of heart or other issues randomly get blood clots? He was assaulted with bear spray and yes physically as well but not "hurt". You are not going to convince a reasonable and reasoning person the events earlier in the day didn't lead to his death.

That said, the cause of death was "acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis". A thrombosis occurs when there is an injury to a blood vessel. Gee, I wonder how that could have happened?

I just found out it wasn't he is also pardoning terrorists. An abortion clinic terrorist I have the displeasure of knowing was pardoned in the new list.

I know this is newer but in all honest the work of the committees is actually kind of a big deal. What was just shut down was doing EXACTLY what they stated the future activities would be. IMHO they were doing good work for all Americans. This came into being because China. Because Russia. Because North Korea. Because Iran. etc.

I get the WHO is at times a very politically motivated/controlled body. That doesn't mean we should ignore it and by dropping out it let's countries like China have massive influence versus where their is a counter balance to their influence. It also does good work. It is comprised of humans so nothing it does will ever be perfect either - especially with conflicting political agendas in it.

It's, well, a legal scam. As long as the creators and backers don't do anything illegal they can pump the rubes all day long. Or pay off the creators by buying their coins from them...

The great grift continues. Suckers.

Who bought Trump for this one? Mexican Cartels? Mafia?

Unholy Effing Sheet. That's all I can say. The pardon was bad enough but the message? The right has zero claim on law and order now and for the foreseeable future. Ross broke the law. Ross enabled others to break the law. Ross fostered and enabled a massive amount of crime including violent crime.

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa *for* the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter.

But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

I had to repeat that. Apartheid Elmo used shallow words to cover it his sycophants could use as an excuse but it was his way of throwing the finger.

Look Apartheid Elmo knew EXACTLY what he was doing. It is totally unnatural gesture. He knew he could "cover it" with words but it was throwing a nazi finger at "libbies".

The thing is most countries recognize the children of one of their citizens as a citizen even if their spouse is not.

They are idiots one and all. I kind of hope Nutty-yahoo renews his interest in Lebanon, maybe he goes back into the Sinai too.

We can't forget he we going to end the Israeli conflict day one too but it seems Biden did that.

but all Nazis are MAGAts.

MAGAts aren't Ukrainian.

You mean Russians. Loads of Russian Nazis were fed to the meat grinder and continue to be. Along with North Koreans now of course.

That sounds sooooo idiotic. Like idiots yearning for the days when men were men and all that BS.

So no big deal is the vibe I am getting?

I don't care if he is doing it just to annoy people who don't like him or if he is for real with it or most likely both - What it comes down to you is this acceptable behavior or not?

If it is not acceptable behavior why should it be tolerated by anyone not to mention someone who is burying himself in the leadership of this country?

Musk and Trump embody everything they teach is a bad thing in leadership. For example, in John Maxwell's 5 levels of leadership they are at the lowest level 1 and manage by their position only. That isn't necessarily bad but at this stage in their lives and careers they should be well beyond it. You might argue that but look at their track records and how many people jumped ship on them and how - Trump in particular. You can't antagonize people and do things out of spite and be an effective leader, much less a professional.

To expand on that it is bad enough other platforms, companies, sports, etc all kowtow in deference to the Chinese and their wishes already in order to have access to the market. The NBA is one of the worst.

Everyone who uses TikTok is a victim of the Chinese government data collection and manipulation apparatus EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I mean are you all in on Heroin use and giving it to kids? This is only marginally different. TikTok is BAD NEWS. I have been preaching this for years. It is a rival foreign government controlled intervention, propaganda and data collection mechanism. This isn't about free speech. I don't get why every idiot brings up free speech when interventions are put in place to stop propaganda and lies. No I get it because they are idiots who don't get it. Do you think China has "free speech" on TikTok or any other platform? If you are a influencer riding on TikTok you are simply an Anti-American anti-freedom greedy idiot.

It's like saying you must tolerate the intolerant when the truth is you should not tolerate the intolerant.

Yup, just like the Brownshirts were. Thing is I think most of these folks actually support the original Brownshirts these days.

Think again sock puppet. He thinks a lot more like Christ then any previous pope I can think of and for sure more than any fundy in this country. But he is NOT a liberal.

It's better to just laugh at how ridiculous and clownish they are. It reduces their power and strength - makes them flaccid even.

Well since February 24, 2022 it has become a daily occurrence...
