they just want most of us dead at this point. how TF does it matter if I know how much my MRI costs? I still can't afford it. And I usually pay out of pocket for them anyway bc my health insurance would make me jump through so many hoops and do weeks of PT to justify the costs.

Behold, an elderly man in the throws of complete cognitive decline. He is living in an extended delusion that’s being fed and encouraged by the sycophants around him, so that they can run the country for their own evil purposes.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

The climate crisis affects everyone in increasingly tangible ways: "Drought in the UK led to poor grass growth, hitting butter and beef production, while extreme heat and rain in west Africa pushed up cocoa prices and droughts in Brazil and Vietnam led to a surge in coffee prices." 🌱⬇️

Its stunning how these people expect the population to just “believe them”. Thats not how laws work.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed on Monday that “all orders” by President Donald Trump should be “presumed” legal by the military, as she defended comments he made last week threatening Democratic lawmakers with “DEATH.”
Leavitt Says “All” Military Orders by Trump Must Be “Presumed to Be Legal”
The dubious claim comes despite officials within the administration saying that the boat strike operation is unlawful.
