Did I mentioned this already...?
Mark Epstein said it is S.O.P. to get EMTs to the cell when a prisoner dies / faints / sickens.
Yet Mark has exhausted all legal remedies trying to get a copy of the EMT report.
Bureau of Prisons insisted it does not exist.
🪄 poof 🪄

whoever pays them, the most will get a piece of the US. They’ve been doing this since he got into office the first time around. It’s just one giant grift and money grab. Anyone that believes that has anything to do with people is deluded. He’s all about power and money and so are his minions.

I guess #RFKJr is not circumcised then. Thanks for letting us know. #autism

RFK Jr. suggests circumcision is linked to autism. Here's what experts say.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested there may be a link between autism and circumcision while reasserting the unproven theory that Tylenol causes the condition. Here's what doctors say.

‘Who Died?’ ‘It’s the Starbucks.’

As locations close across the city, an outpouring of grief from tweens, crossword types, and other Frappuccino diehards.
