Earth to the orange guy: Nobody — and I mean nobody — wants to negotiate their own health insurance. We want medical care when we need it, and we don’t want to become financially insecure or even bankrupt because of unforeseen medical costs. Period.
Where in hell did this stupid idea come from?

Marriages can be complicated. Still, as he has reached for more and more power, he exudes regret that he married someone whose skin color is not acceptable to a large portion of the Republican base.

Anna Bower has at least four times the intelligence of Lindsey Halligan, plus Bower has integrity whereas Halligan has none. Halligan could not have chosen a less maleable victim to bully had she tried.

By law, the president is the commander of the DC National Guard and has much more leeway in what he can do with them. His use of the armed forces is illegal, however.
