Yes, but surely he wouldn’t kick ME in the nuts… just those people I don’t like, right? Why would I want someone to high five THEM?

Considering I was seriously interested in how the debate would go and had to turn it off only half way through, I think it’s highly likely that 70 million Americans waited for Fox to feed them the Cliff’s Notes version.

Something Chuck Norris could support….

I think people may have misunderstood the question.

Trump has a history of avoiding wars. Bone Spurs were his excuse in Viet Nam.

He’s shown he has no issues with causing wars; he just personally would rather avoid taking part.

The 2021 insurrection is a case in point.

Scleroses would translate as “hardening diseases” though. There’s only one disease.

Or… Chinese robot industry struggles to develop high quality products.

All depends on how you spin it.

Jesus sounds Mexican. Did anyone check his birth certificate?

Exactly where my mind went.

Doctors go to school for seven years racking up debt, and then usually have to shoulder the burden of liability and operational costs. It’s expensive to become a medical doctor, and expensive to be a medical doctor.

These costs are part of what keeps both doctors and patients safe. Doctors end up with both the power and the risk.

Nurses by comparison have only basic training before on the job training kicks in; it’s relatively easy to become a nurse, and if you mess up, the worst that’s going to happen is that you get fired and have to go work somewhere else.

But even as a nurse, if you’re quick to pick things up, you can move up the ranks and find a specialty that has more power and pays better than a standard RN. Without the seven years of debt.

And life’s not just about pay; quality of life is generally more important, and that sucks for most doctors, who have relatively short life expectancies and limited time to spend their money.

How early? He’s been doing this his whole life, including the word salad.

That’s why there’s a “no props” rule.

And the no mic rule means she can’t call him on them in real time.

Is there a rule stating she can’t have an earpiece and a team feeding her information though?
