Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.

I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.

Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017? They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.

      Because the Bush family had always been close to the house of saud. Of which Bin Laden was a member. On September 11th before anything was even clear. They had gone through and evacuated every member of the House of saud from the US. The majority of the attackers being from Saudi Arabia and also funded by Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden was also trained and armed by his father and Ronald Reagan. Their history goes way back.

          What do you mean the group we funded to fight off the imperialistic superpower that we were in a Cold War against is now against us and our interference in the region? /s
