I love Joe.
Not looking forward to 4 years of drama.
Love MVP. We could have had a smart, intelligent , warm President. With a beautiful smile that was genuine.
Now we’re going to get this gargoyle.

I will be reminding everyone that because of ubiquitous anti-vaxism, most pharmacies will have a surplus of vaccine, all you'll need to do is ask for a shot, and you won't be grilled about what conditions you may or may not have.
Will 100% be lying about having a precondition. Thank you.

Remember how the media credulously reported that Trump wants to raise taxes on the rich? Guess what: Buried in the House GOP bill is a provision that would create a new and expanded tax break for exactly those types of wealthy investors.

As the door to the papal conclave swung shut, Barack Obama slid out from the shadows, his feet blackishly tapping against the floor. Without a word he handed out his dossiers to the priests. There were shocked murmurs and palpable fear.

One thing I'm trying to get more understanding of is the people who were fired who review drug applications. Those people are funded with fees. So there's literally no cost to taxpayers. So the rationale for axing them speaks for itself. But are/will there be enough people to review new drugs?

Ezra Klein and Jon Stewart over-simplify and caricature the restrictions on this $42.5 billion broadband grant program to falsely paint the whole thing as an irredeemable waste.
But they fail to mention a lot of important stuff because they didn't actually understand what they were talking about...
