The "Justice Department" has agreed to Donald Trump's demand to look into the Epstein connections to the Democrats.
How about they look into the obvious issues of rape and child abuse in the Jane Doe dossier?
It's all here.

Readiness is built, not assumed: preparing our health system for crisis
When we expand burn care, critical care capacity, or national co-ordination, we are also better equipped to respond to industrial or construction accidents, natural disasters, and future pandemics.

Comparable AT BEST with universal healthcare. Though I do think Canada would do better to spend more up front, saving in the long run.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
