7/ LaTosha Almond was sent home despite having an open bedsore on her lower back.

Her mother described it as as large as a dinner plate, so deep that it showed bone. “It was pouring out yellow and gray pus,” she said.

Demented mad king shit.
It gets worse. Trump also says straight out that an invasion of Venezuela "on land" is coming and says he'd expand all this to Mexico and Colombia. Incredibly, no one even bothers pointing out anymore that he is claiming authority to do all of this without Congress:

Michael Anton is a dedicated fascist and leading light of the dark enlightenment. He also leaves snarky reviews on fashion websites. I guess he’s in charge of our foreign policy now.

If I had to bet, I'd bet no Republican health care bill gets voted on. They've nearly all voted or not voted to uninsure 15 million.

They don't want ads explaining how they backed a bill that can never pass the Senate, which would raise insurance costs for at least 20 million more Americans.
