My parents (Boomer, Silent Gen) got pretty much everything but polio. They had me & my sibling first in line for the MMR vaccine. They had to pay for it out of pocket, but they still did it to ensure we wouldn’t get sick. I am forever grateful.

I love how they deflect to calling it a meme instead of a falsified image. It downplays the severity of what they're doing, the equivalent to "it's just a joke".
What they're clearly saying is that they intend to keep falsifying information so long as it benefits them.

What is the government doing to train & hire more doctors and nurses? When I had my kids, the shiny new delivery suites were left unused due to staff shortages, and this persisted across multiple births, years apart in a major city.

The idea of patients being "consumers" is wild.

The last thing we need is another pipeline. The current one isn’t even finished yet and isn’t proven to generate revenue. It also made a horrendous mess for years as they built it. There are so many better ways to generate jobs.

The fact that the US military pays so little that its soldiers are on SNAP is concerning.

Please God not in the northern direction. We’ve got enough to worry about without more 51st state nonsense .

If a person is an adult going to university and the don't have the tools they need to make decent choices then you have failed as a parent.

Maga is just waiting for a reason to believe him that nothing happened. That’s why they are shouting for the release of the list instead of listening to victims, one of whom has already implicated him.

I thought they wanted people to come “the right way”. So much for that if you’re not white.

The town should pay fair market value for the land. They are trying to force a deal, but they can locate those buildings elsewhere. There is no reason other than convenience that they need the RCMP next to the firehall. They want the cash from the expanded development.

It's bizarre to watch them bring up Obama and the Clintons like they have anything to do with the current political situation. Unfortunately Maga will fall for it yet again, but for the rest of us it's really weird.

This is a concerning statement: “I’m happy to say now the legislature has taken control of the Board of Elections and turned it over to Republican control,”. The last thing Americans need is partisan control of the Board of Elections. Prepare to lose your right to vote.

They need to consider a post-Trump future because this is his second term. If they weren’t considering it, then the US really is screwed.

Stop making excuses for him. No justification or wild attempt to find a modern equivalent changes the fact that he was a pedophile and a rapist. You trying to excuse him just makes you look bad in the worst possible way. Do people need to check your browser history?

The Canadians who went there for similar reasons & criticized Russia ended up in a lot of trouble. This won’t end well for them or their poor kids.

Incels have to believe that it’s the lack of muscles why women don’t want them, because if it’s their personality, they might have to change & that’s too hard.
