    I never heard of French until the podcast today. Good to hear that he's evolved a bit over the years. As for evangelicals listening to him, well ... they don't listen to me, either. That doesn't stop...

    Speaking of YouTube, I'm watching a fascinating podcast on the Bulwark channel titled " David French's Stark Warning for Evangelicals" hosted by Michael Steele. Any practicing Christian interested in...

    How can it be abuse when it's making him so much money? They're setting their respective hooks. I am not optimistic. Will continue to monitor

    So, if the proposed budget goes through, whaddya think will happen to our staffing and our patients? The big corporate "health systems" and insurance providers seem pretty quiet about a budget that...

    I choked on my iced coffee when I read "fairy smut book". I have no clue what Biden's granddaughter meant but to me it's M/M romantasy. Gawd I love the

    Trump is not the only one to deal with scary possibilities by refusing to ask the questions. There's more than one expert who believes that it's likely that trump is mentally impaired. Does that...

    Exactly. Most nurses learn early on to avoid premature "conclusions" about disease processes. But ... maga has its marching orders. Speculation =/= conclusion. It's true! Look it

    I hadn't thought of that - good point. I don't believe trump had a head CT. I said I wish I could see one but that I doubted that he would allow it. AEB his proposal for dealing with the rapidly...

    Yup. I first posted about that tactic quite some time ago here on AN - back when spidey'smom, viva las viejas. AZhiker, Zashagalka and other conservatives were posting frequently. Rush Limbaugh and...

    Of course they are. It makes a nice distraction from trumps mental dysfunction. Whether you think it's deteriorating or same-old-same-old, there's no question that the word salad, flight of ideas,...

    Maybe someone should point out that everybody dies and there's a special place in hell for sadistic sycophants. May trump and his merry band of psychopaths get back what they give out three times...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    So ... if I understand your post properly, Biden was probably in the no-regular-testing age group for up to 18 years prior to having actual symptoms. I suggest that we hold off getting all thin...
