Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

I wholeheartedly agree.

I’m talking about both political parties. They’ve both turned to populism over the past decade and they’re both equally awful. Both are wildly corrupt.

Also, democrats and Democrats are technically two different nouns. I suspect you mean (big D) Democrats.

“slimy operators and opportunists”, that’s every populist leader - including Donald Trump.

That’ll be great when you get a $3,800 rebate and your cancer treatment costs $1 million.

He’ll direct his DOJ to “investigate” it, which will tie-up documents from being released due to an active investigation.

LBJ was, and he was a highly effective President.

What a shame. The Washington Post used to be a great paper. Now it’s nothing more than Fox News slop.

Whoah! From the same people who got their panties in a wad when Biden “censored Facebook”?

My granddaddy was a graduate student at SMU during the Red Scare. He often described that moment of American history as a failure of our society. I fear that’s where we are now, again.
