Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.
"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Keep this dude out of our neighborhood. Assuming my Annunciation friends are indicative of the parish his showboating and lecturing will hurt people who are already reeling from the attack on their community. I really can't think of anyone who would be a less comforting presence while grieving.

Robot Death Panels (go ahead and take the band name) seem like theyre going to be very much a real thing vs the Obamacare death panels that the Rs were making up in 2008. Watch Peter Thiel get a Benjamin for declining your mom's heart valve repair because...reasons.
