So terrible. All the people who are poor here, and they're so humble. I read the Guardian, and they're the same-- I don't know what their situation is vis a vis corporations but it's just as revolting bc, somehow, the Tories gladly, refuse, to spend even five cents on anything-- even in the greatest emergency. Somehow they seem to believe that it's something adorable about themselves that they're that way. Meanwhile-- so casual about whether low income people will make do thru the winter, choosing heating oil or food or meds or -- you know the kind of thing!! All these people go through it-- !!! It's their way of life-- what can you do, right? That's how Tories seem to see it.

I wonder how this country got to be enslaved by big companies to this extent. Just hearing about those drug prices, and considering how pharmaceutical companies are in the position of gigantic wholesalers yet demand to be treated like tiny boutiques. Right? By Medicare! Truly the hand that feeds them. Correct me if I'm wrong, y'all. Explain it to low-income people-- don't sound too woke!

Per capita expenditure for health care in 2022

France: 5060

Canada: 6118

USA: 13413

I used 11% of GDP for France and Canada. This matches recent historical data. For the USA, I used these projections: https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2023.00403

The USA expenditure exceeds that of Canada by a factor of 2.14 and that of France by a factor of 2.65 . Guess which of these three countries is least healthy.

And he was before Citizens United too! I really really loathe him. A combination of Mitt Romney and Mike Pence. Except once in a while Mitt seems to emerge from some mud he's in and see things. What makes them specially odious to me-- just in case you were anxious to know!!!-- is the way've got no fight in them, so mushy. So you know you could be getting sexually assaulted right in front of them and they wouldn't see it. Esp. if it was a pal of theirs from the Chamber of Commerce. That's the kind of people I grew up around. So it's a patriarchy that's a patriarchy all right-- but useless where it might be useful-- because it's like cereal that's been sitting too long-- say you had to run and look for your gym suit-- and when you come back it's all soft. What good is it?

I'm surprised he didn't claim that the two beers had to be Bud Lights.

Doocy seems to be the kind of guy who tells his left hand from his right by thinking “my left hand is on the driver’s side.”

Don’t go to England, Doocy.

Has Doocey asked Brett Kavanaugh about the Biden two-beer recommendation?

Sigh, questions on the undermining of democracy in Guatemala. Like we're in a good position to judge them.

Well, he's been out of touch for quite a while. Claims he was dead but got better. Can't blame him for asking so many questions.

Why won't Biden attend Yevgeny Prigozhin's funeral? Did he order Prigozhin's assassination?

He did not order the assassination. He ordered the Tver air defenders to take out a worn tire on the landing gear of the jet.

Why did he order the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor who was going after the crimes of his son, Hunter Biden of Burisma? Wasn't that an electoral crime and shouldn't he be impeached????

Actually, the Ukrainian prosecutor was not doing his damn job and ignoring corrupt oligarchs. The US and other countries called for his ouster. It had NOTHING to do with Hunter Biden. You have been misled.
