All the more reason to go after his daughter then. Which normally isn't a tactic I'd endorse, but well, she's a pharmaceutical exec who jacked up the price of life-saving treatments like EpiPens 600%. So, she really deserves a little investigation anyway.

My wife lost a friend of some 40ish years over this. She had known this person since 9th grade.

What else should be expected from those Rupuke ASSHOLES?

Yes she has, in a "fun 'n frilly" tabletop book she titled in glitter cursive Fuck Off!

(Blows nose and wipes tears on the front window drapes) Well, there's always next year's quarter, but I'm sure Samantha Stevens will be chosen before I'm the minted one!

It costs more than $25 to get a state-authorized photo I.D. in Florida. They require your birth certificate (no, seriously!) and your social security card IIRC.

I truly wish there were more I could say other than cancer sucks and that this news makes me cry, even though I only know you from your (non) commenting presence. I wish you peace of mind and an offer of a hug. Please take care however you feel best doing so.

As one of his oft-ignored constituents, my guess is the delete button gets a lot of use.

OK, I'm done: Fuck Schumer, and definitely fuck Tom Clyburn, who's supposed to be the Democratic Whip (not wimp), keeping order in the party. If they can't wake Mancin and Synema up to the reality of GQP obstruction, and kick them off their ego trips, then they need to make sure those two are legislatively marginalized from here on out, have zero legislation moved forward, and the DNC needs to make sure they are primaried into extinction next election. I hate Republicans, but at least they keep their damned people in order during a 50-50 Senate. No party officers worth their overpriced suits should allow those two tool bags to wallow and hand-wring needed legislation into irrelevance. It's getting to the point where I wish the Insurrectionists had found 'em.

Thank you. At the present time, I’m stable. I have a wife and daughter in the home to watch over me. The cancer is service connected so I also have support from the Veterans Administration. If I need you, I’ll try to contact you through Wonkette and Disqus.

Good to know we have our own people to push dubious legal theories. We mustn't let the Right open up a Dubious Legal Theory gap!https://twitter.com/PamKeit...

Thanks, Lawrence, for showing how Pelosi gets talked over in a joint briefing and then cut feed when she actually gets a chance to speak.

I gots a question; you and I can see what's unfolding right before our eyes. We all understand the danger posed by the GOP's dirty fuckery. We all realise that we have very little time to do anything about it, and we get that once the door shuts it's going to be damn near impossible to overturn their voters rights suppressions... So how is it that no one in charge can see it? The Dems seem to be obliviously drifting towards the waterfall. What's going on?
