Texas Is Asking Voters to Protect the Rich and Punish the Poor. Will They Do It?
Among 17 potential constitutional amendments, voters will be deciding the fate of corporate welfare and inherited wealth.
Texans will vote on 17 constitutional amendments on Nov. 4.
Hereโs the ballot in plain English: If youโre wealthy, the state promises to protect your fortune. For everyone else, thereโs small perks, patriotic gestures, and pothole-filling promises.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesnโt work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

โItโs hard to go back to mediocrity after youโve tasted excellence.โ
This not only applies to music, but comedy as well.
Conservative โcomedyโ is anchored to black-and -white thinking as has a cringey propensity for โpunching down.โ Compare any Tim Allen vehicle to Seinfeld or Arrested Development

Are we at the 9th circle of conspiracy theory hell yet? I can't even parse it, anymore.
So, medbeds are a conspiracy (that's ev. of severe reality testing issues).
& vid of Trump posting about them is fake/a conspiracy.
But the folks below think the video is fake, but Trump's promotion is real??
