Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Knocking down the East Wing before you have plans for the replacement building is the model for everything the Trump admin does, here and abroad.

I dunno, man. I asked him if he could sell me a car at full price, and he replied, "I would prefer not to." Maybe it was just my reverse psychology that sealed the deal.

I’m not even going to publish a copy of Trumps comments about Reiner and his wife. But occasionally he reminds me that he is simply one of the worst, most degenerate individuals who has ever existed in American public life. Hard to think of any more vicious, vile and sociopathic.
