Agreed on Kaiser. Absolute dog shit. Took me a full fucking year to get diagnosed with cancer. They couldn't be bugged to run tests or schedule an appointment that lasted more than 10 minutes.

A lot of what this administration does is easily explainable one of three ways:

1. They're racists
2. They hate women
3. They're inciting violence to further their domestic goals

It's usually one of those three, sometimes two. In a maleficent but of synergy, could even be all of the above

Not the point, I know, but are ANY modern students reading the Atlantic?

Seems anyone younger that 25 these days can't be bothered to read anything more complex than a 4-word meme.

Please tell me I'm wrong.

It's not that I think Vance has any talent for mind tricks.

It's that Trump supporters are so willing to fall for the dumbest of right-wing fairy tales.

I hope you're right. If so, I admit I'm one of the people underrating how old MAGA is.

Anecdotally, I'm seeing a lot more middle aged MAGA than I'm seeing senior citizens.

And a lot of impressionable young men buying into the persecution complex. Definitely hope I'm wrong.

Nor will it be as quick as people think. His followers believed he would build the border wall and that immigrants were eating the cats and dogs.

They'll buy in whenever they're told JDV is the second coming of Trump.

He still thinks he can be president if acts deplorable enough.

I want people to start asking Trump about these responses: Mr. President, did you hear Mike Johnson say he didn't listen to your speech. What are your thoughts on the Speaker of the House ignoring you?

For someone so obsessed with audiences and ratings, it would set off some fantastic in-fighting

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

Just gonna keep tapping the sign*

Literal laugh out loud. Thank you.

There were times when I couldn't get a chemotherapy treatment for months, but when I would show up for an infusion, I'd be the only person in a room designed for 8 patients.

Healthcare in the US is so convoluted. The care is often great, but the bureaucracy is terrible.

All good now. But I have years worth of stories to tell.

But it's made me hyper sympathetic to anyone dealing with the treatment delays I dealt with.

Is it weird when you can name all 4 of these minivans based on the picture?

And you're also thinking, what, no Mazda MPV?

It's terrible. Wishing you all the best.

I've been dealing with it for 3 years. Every test and every appointment was a wait of multiple months. Almost like they were intentionally dragging out my treatment.

Good point.

Same when Ford pardoned Nixon.

And when Vance ultimately pardons Trump.

Also, it's a truly demented way to lead a story. Why even mention Trump's obsession with autopen signatures and his predecessor?

Red herring journalism at its finest.

What an arrogant response. Dripping with "You're not smart enough to understand."

I don't know many pro football players, but I know it's bad when my team's quarterback throws an interception in the red zone.

Still can't believe Cory Booker voted to confirm this asshole as an ambassador.

This is an eff-ing watershed moment for Democrats across the country.

ICE protests, military parade, blatant opposition to court orders and the rule of law. Past time for elected officials to take a real stand.

Jamie Dimon sounding the alarm after supporting Trump prior to the election.

That's rich.

100% agree with you on that.

We'll see, I guess. It's so lacking in any specifics that it's impossible to discern really anything.

What exactly makes this garbage?

100% agree here.

The anticipated flourishing if Bluesky hasn't happened.

And the hoped collapse of Twitter hasn't happened either.

Hoping this is just a blip in the growth, but fearing it might be something more.

What are we fighting for
Not about
Not against
For
Helps to think about that

I have several family buried in federal cemeteries. They’d say they were fighting for the guy next to them, and the people waiting at home.

This is inaccurate.

Stop posting memes you like without doing some basic fact-checking.

Did anybody lose a golf ball today? It's the one with male genitalia drawn on it.
