Trump's Second Term

Mojo said:
The Republicans have always insisted on the President being treated with respect, apart from between 1977 and 1981, 1993 and 2001, 2009 and 2017, and 2021 and 2025.

I distinctly remember them saying that questioning President Bush II's actions was tantamount to treason, but then saying that questioning President Obama's actions was the patriotic duty of all true Americans.
 
'My wife died giving birth after Trump cut funding to our clinic'

When Shahnaz went into labour, her husband Abdul called a taxi to take them to the only medical facility accessible to them.

"She was in a lot pain," he says.

A 20-minute drive away, the clinic was in Shesh Pol village in Afghanistan's north-eastern Badakhshan province. It was where their two older children were born.

Abdul sat next to Shahnaz comforting her as they drove over gravel tracks to reach help.

"But when we reached the clinic, we saw that it was closed. I didn't know it had shut down," he said, his face crumpling with agony.

This is the now-closed clinic:

Other medical facilities are simply too far from Abdul's village, and it was not without risk for Shahnaz to travel on bumpy roads. Abdul also didn't have money to pay for a longer journey - renting the taxi cost 1,000 Afghani ($14.65; £12.70), roughly a quarter of his monthly income as a labourer. So they decided to return home.

"But the baby was coming and we had to stop by the side of the road," Abdul said.

Shahnaz delivered their baby girl in the car. Shortly after, she died, bleeding profusely. A few hours later, before she could be named, their baby also died.

"I wept and screamed. My wife and child could've been saved if the clinic was open," said Abdul. "We had a hard life, but we were living it together. I was always happy when I was with her."

He doesn't even have a photo of Shahnaz to hold on to.

There's no certainty the mother and baby would've survived if they'd been treated at the clinic, but without it, they didn't stand a chance, underlining the undeniable impact of US aid cuts in Afghanistan.

Thank goodness that clinic was closed! Otherwise, some rich guy would have gotten a smaller tax cut!

Someone on this forum referred to it as the 'my president, right or wrong' crowd having been 'on an eight year sabbatical' while Obama was president.

The note was supposed to be blood-splotched, but ChatGPT didn't want to do that, so just pretend it is.

I think the appropriate ICD 10 code is W55.81XA: bitten by other mammals, initial encounter. "Other" means non-human, non-dog. Although probably it's not initial encounter but subsequent encounter, but the previous ones weren't documented because the patient didn't seek treatment.

Looking up statistics, those seem to have surged in January and then just kept climbing 🤔.

It's all Obama's fault

Megyn Kelly: “We haven't felt like ourselves since Obama. He was such a slick snake…He was so divisive in his messaging...He’s the one who started to inject race when no one had been doing it…

Obama is the reason Trump came about. They say ‘Trump is divisive’. He’s the antidote, the answer to the divisiveness of Obama.”

The chyron says "Pays tribute to Charlie Kirk", not "Needlessly slanders Obama and Biden, and arse-licks Trump". I don't think she mentioned Charlie Kirk once in that spew.

1. Slandering the man who presidented while black (twice!!) is never needless in their world.
2. Same with ass-licking Drumpf. To the contrary it'll probably be mandatory soon to praise him so five times a day, on a prayer mat, facing Washington DC.
3. What better way to honour a fallen fascist comrade than 1 and 2?
