I'm not seeing the problem here. The Republicans announced their healthcare plan in 2017 and it's ... hold on, I'm getting an update.
Jan 13, 2017 tweet from @BassoonJokes: "the new healthcare plan is everybody gets 50 tylenol at birth. those are your tylenol. use them whenever or however you want."

Screencap from Superstore: Cheyenne tries to give Marcus a tattoo of his mom on his back and inking in a hat over her first attempt and trying again results in Marcus's mom tattoo looking like Babadook.

Preview of me at 7 PM tonight
The sleepytime tea bear, wearing a blue nightshirt and red nightcap, sitting with his eyes closed in a green easy chair in front of a lit fireplace. On the side table next to him is a cup of tea, a teapot, a plate of muffins, and a jar of red jam. Behind him, a striped cat is asleep on the rug.

Not the point, but look how pretty my campus is. The building at the left of the frame is Suzzallo Library, currently undergoing seismic retrofitting, but really one of the most beautiful buildings on campus.

Vince and Morgan in the HOH bed, lying head to toe. Vince is in the bed the usual way, with his head at the top of the bed, while Morgan is lying next to him but with her head at the foot of the bed. Vince is leaning forward so they can hold hands. The photo is captioned with Vince's voiceover, "Yeah, we sleep in the same bed, but it's a giant bed, and her head is at the opposite of me." Jerry and Elaine at the diner sitting on the same side of the booth. Jerry is saying, "So what? Your genitals are still lined up."

The double can chow mein (and separate can of fried chow mein noodles) still exists under the La Choy label. I sometimes see it at the store but am not brave enough to indulge in that bit of nostalgia. To be honest, I am mostly afraid someone I know might see me buying it.
La Choy Chicken Chow Mein in a double can. The cans are stacked, and taped together are about the size of a small oatmeal canister. The top smaller can contains sauce and chicken and the larger bottom can contains vegetables. La Choy Chow Mein Noodles. Short pieces of fried chow mein noodles, packaged in a can for some unknown reason.

Wordlebot being its usual dick self after my second guess was "TEASE": On average, guessing GLOPS here will minimize the expected number of turns needed to solve the puzzle. But you've narrowed it down to one possible solution. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn.

From Big Brother: Julie Chen standing next to a TV screen before the eviction vote. On screen are Zach and Vince, who are waiting for the vote. Zach is sitting on the couch, wearing a black t-shirt and shorts, with a pink bandanna around his neck. Vince is wearing a giant egg detective costume. He's an egg, but wearing a shirt, tie, trench coat, fedora, and is carrying a large magnifying glass. He is standing to Zach's left, and his face is covered by the egg white top.

Front cover of "Home Cooking with Dave's Mom," a cookbook written by David Letterman's mom Dorothy. The cover photo is of Dave, who looks to be in his mid-40s, sitting at a table with a pie in the center and one slice on a plate and a glass of milk in front of him. He is wearing a gray suit and a yellow tie. His mom, Dorothy, is standing to his right with her hand on his shoulder. She has short, white hair, and is wearing a white mock turtleneck under a blue vest, all covered with a white chef's apron. Both are smiling.

Even the bags that look vaguely like their classic designs are crapped up. They use cheaper, thinner leather and fabric lining. The straps are made of gold chains, and they include tacky big gold Cs or a bunch of damned holes in the leather for no apparent reason.
Small light brown rectangular leather purse with a gold chain strap to which a big-ass gold "C" is attached. "The Summer I Turned Pretty" bag is $175. Very small white leather rectangular bag with both a white leather strap and a longer gold chain strap. The purse is covered with small holes encircled in gold metal. "Dinky Bag With Grommets" is $350.

I don't even know what's happening here. I think this bag might have some kind of pustular condition.
Small black handbag with a medium-sized handstrap. Both the strap and the bag itself are covered with black puffy vaguely daisy-like flowers. The "Coachtopia Loop Shoulder Bag With Floral Applique" is priced at $175.
