“ I was a Federal Worker and voted for Donald Trump. He did not like immigrants and transgenders. I don’t either. Now I lost my job, my house, and I am a little hungry too. I think I might have made a mistake”.

You can do this too BTW. I've found lots of people on reddit who tell you exactly who to contact to get what you need.. its cheaper. I had a doctor that would prescribe to a Canadian pharmacy before. Not to mention every country has telehealth

This country is in grave danger from the enemy within. They're imploding everything, an outside adversary couldn't have done a better job.

The acting CDC Director has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health. Trump has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health.

Both are calling to make the MMR vaccine into 3 separate shots, which makes absolutely no scientific or public health sense.

Acting CDC boss wants to break up MMR vaccine into three shots

Jim O’Neill joins President Donald Trump’s call for three distinct measles, mumps and rubella shots, claiming a separation would ‘reduce the risk of side effects’ and ‘maximize parental choice’

Tariffs are starting to impact retail prices just in time for holiday shopping. But consumers are in no mood to pay (via Bloomberg Opinion)

Who’s Going to ‘Eat’ Tariffs? Not US Shoppers

We are about to find out who is going to “eat” President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Don’t expect US consumers to be the ones picking up their knives and forks.

And, sorry, but fuck you very much to the third party voters and those that did not vote (except for those who have lost their voting rights because of states that take them away because someone might vote Democratic).
