It probably happened that someone called their pharmacy while having a medical event and died in the process. The statement ‘hang up and call 911’ is a CYA so no one gets sued.
I can imagine some of my patrons at the grocery store calling a pharmacy during a medical event.
A bit past one hundred days. Miller discussing suspension of Habeas Corpus is the point where everyone knows Donnie’s cards are crap. Miller’s boss is a visibly ticking time bomb. And they know Vance is not going to have the sway that grampy orange pants has with the flock. Must really suck to belong to this administration right now. Well for those sane enough to realize it.
“That fella at the pharmacy that I got my heart pills from, he said something about pain shooting down my left arm, maybe I’ll call him to ask…”
And it’s not just pharmacies. That script plays basically everywhere health-related, including the physical therapist appointment line.
That average citizen? Yeah, half the folks out there are dumber than that.
It clearly sucks to be in the bunker with Shitzenpants presently. The blitz succeeded to a degree, but now they’re holding the entire fed govt and all they know how to do is destroy.
The resistance is growing daily. The yes-men in the WH know they’re lying in a bed of orange shit. I’d love to get a look at secret discussions between senators struggling to figure out what the lies will be that will get them out of this.
Crafting a budget is tough in the best of times. Crafting a budget that can pass only with GOP votes, extends the Trump 2017 tax cuts, does not increase the deficit, AND does not touch SSA, Medicare and Medicaid is impossible.
The GOP promised everything to everybody in the MAGA-verse to get elected and NOW it’s time to pay the Piper.
The Dems need to stay out of it and let the GOP budget process implode. This is all on the GOP and the half of the Electorate that voted for them. God save them ALL from themselves.
The Democrats are the opposition and are NOT obligated to bail them out. Not this time.
I like that idea! Like a circus cannon but he ends face first in 15 feet deep sloppy pig shit
He’s too fat. He’d break the cannon.
Breaking stuff is the ONLY thing he is good at - that and conning the rubes (but that is not really hard - ask PT Barnum.)
Steiner’s counterattack will take care of it all.
That would suit him. A burial at sea…just don’t forget to wrap the anchor chain around his head securely!
@brian512 Interesting bronze casting and history. I don’t think 35" will pass even the svelt 220 lb., 6’2" wide receiver the dear leader believes his cult believes he is. At 45" you might be able to ram him in there tight enough with a telephone pole that you build up enough pressure after ignition to launch him a good 500 yards! Such a corpulent load might require about 50 pounds of black powder to make it happen, along with some old bed sheets for wadding. World’s biggest potato gun.
@darrtown Apologies!. I forgot about your own first hand knowledge of Russian artillery! I just wanted you to know what I was talking about.
One summer, long ago before cell phones made people stupid, I spent a month answering the phones at the local medical school (not the hospital or a clinic, the academic offices where they file things and type up forms in triplicate). Queries I fielded included …
“I’m new in town, can the Dean of the Medical School recommend a good doctor “?
“I got bit by a brown recluse a few days ago, should I be worried?”
If only those same folks hadn’t bought the election, but since it was their money that put Trump and MAGA back in power, they are going to get what they want regardless of the consequences.
Mathematically, this was always going to be the out when cuts to social programs would be too drastic and too damaging. Tax cuts for the rich, just smaller. They’ll hardly notice.
ETA: There will still be painful cuts to Medicaid, just less widespread.
Before we pass the buget or deal wth the coming Climate destruction or consider what to do about Trump’s growing dementia, let’s pass The Gulf of America bill.
The Gulf of America bill will reduce inflation and bring China to the trade negotiating table. Do it Maga Republicans. Do something…do anything.
Anyone else get the sense that Trump is just trolling ALL of us with this Qatar B747 thing ? Josh is right, this is a bribe - pure and simple.
The thing that is aggravating is it is SOOOO freaking obvious. Trump is daring us to do something about it, and WE are to stupefied to know what to do - much less act on it.
Where does this go next ? How many blatantly unconstitutional acts will it take until the Congress does its job and removes this leech from office for good ?
Without looking at google, I can safely say 100%.
However, may I suggest a different question as more appropriate? Who bares the cost?
For some, the cost if the cuts is their life.
As with (back room, sweetheart deals for) drug testing, “all signs point to’YES’!” 
Ha ha—you read my mind (like a cheap comic book)!! 
And defense : - )
I have always considered any fool who calls their pharmacy while having a heart attack or any other fatal medical emergency to be a Darwinian blessing.
