   I would love to see a bullet point by bullet point denouncement of Trump’s tweets and sayings as being “not obstruction of justice”

   For example:Trump: “Oh, I was going to fire, regardless of recommendation. He made a recommendation, he’s highly respected — very good guy, very smart guy. And the Democrats like him, Republicans like him. He made a recommendation, but regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey.”

   This is not obstruction because…..?

   What boggles my mind on both guns and vaccine counts is that Americans are dying and more than half of Americans are ok with that.

   Thanks for this. Do you agree with the article 100%? Like the conclusion?

   “So the real tax rates rich Americans paid in the 1950s may not have been so stratospherically high as some progressives assume. But they also may have helped create a more egalitarian society. That seems worth considering”

   Cuz that was kinda my point.

   Were you just as upset with the “Russia if your listening…” debate comment? or cheering him on, especially when the Russians immediately tried to hack email servers that very day? Or was it, wait, lemme guess, pure coincidence?

   I believe that because Trumpster Fire tweets in a public forum, they’re as archivable as interviews and press briefings. Yes, they’re from his personal account, but they’re not personal missives. You can’t archive personal letters (although thank God we got Adams and Jefferson’s letters) but you can archive all public statements while president.

   Seriously? Joe puts his hands on his shoulders and he’s not a valid candidate, Trump (insert any MULTITUDE of violations against women) and he’s president.

   Can’t fix your kind of stupid. Or, to put it into words you’d understand: “Cain’t fix you’re kind of stoopid”

   BTW, You want stupid? ‘I think I am actually humble. I think I’m much more humble than you would understand.’‘My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.’“I’ll tell you, it’s Big Business. If there is one word to describe Atlantic City, it’s Big Business. Or two words—Big Business.” “I will build a great wall—and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me—and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”

   Want me to go on? Or do you just want to google “Dumbest quotes from Trump” and look at all 663,000 hits yourself?

   LOCKER ROOM HUMOR. OMG, that’s the funnies thing ever. Total defense mechanism. Did you hear Obama used to say “I could grab women by the pussy” all the time in the locker room? No? BECAUSE HE WASN’T AN A**HOLE….

   …however, if he did, and it was caught on tape, I’m sure you would’ve dismissed it just as easily because you’re fair and balanced that way, right?

    I worked in health care as a Clinical Informatics and Analytics head. If you want to know detailed impacts of ER recidivism, access to PCPs, and the like, i’d be more than happy to share. Suffice to say, without access to care, the impoverished go to hostpitals and use the single most expensive service – the ER room – as a PCP. The alternative is to take their chance and possibly die. ER visits are not free, costs increase across the board to compensate, costs that we pay. So you have a choice – let people die and prohibit high cost utilization, or give them access. You pay either way, the former is just inhumane.
