  1. https://www.npr.org/2025/04/29/nx-s1-5379979/trump-has-targeted-more-than-100-opponents-and-institutions-npr-analysis-finds DREISBACH: Yeah. It's a really wide spectrum of people and institutions that Trump has gone after. It includes lawyers and law firms often with ties to Democrats, political opponents, people who worked on investigations into Trump or the January 6 rioters, media companies, universities and then also people who actually worked in the first Trump administration but who Trump considers disloyal.
  2. Deep breaths, good thoughts.....
  3. define socialism and communism in your own words. nevemind, post an accepted definition of both.
  4. others here have. repeatedly. they are far closer to the def of fascists than I am to socialists or communists. Magas throw these labels around all the time at anyone left oof their far right views. whose respect do you deserve? you're disrespecting an entire gender.
  5. so it's not either/or? then your argument falls apart...
  6. why do you despise women? do you find female genitalia so disgusting that you must insult and disparage it?
  7. you're a dualist. It's not either/or. there are other possible methods of controlling crime than federalizing law enforcement. dummy.
  8. we know what you think. We're talking about the people of Cali and Illinois. They voted for their governors knowing their political leanings. Both are now considered top presidential candidates. so what about labelling me a communist or socialist? i hoped my question would motivate magas to look them up and understand how inappropriately they apply them.
  9. your powers of observation are terrible. I live far from dc. whether people are happy about it is not the point. the ends don't justify the means. the governors of Illinois and Cali didn't like the threat of military intervention in their states. I suspect a poll of the people there wouldn't either. so, do you accept the definition or want to rewrite it? define socialism and communism. Those are words thrown at me and like minded people by magas here. I am much farther from the definition of these than many magas are from that of fascism.
  10. double negative much? the facial droop argues that he is ill. what's your hypothesis to explain it, nurse ratchet?
  11. I don't believe there are many. Vance won't motivate them to skip the WWF event that coincides with election day.
  12. No. I mean like using the military against politically unaligned cities or groups or using the justice department to settle personal grievances.
  13. Yeah, but I don't think Vance enthralls the masses.
  14. fascism /făsh′ĭz″əm/ noun A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. Oppressive, dictatorial control. I don't refine terms.
  15. The guy is dead to me. He let trump and fascism win. But this is about trump's health which is not good and very concerning. Hillbilly Vance would be even worse.
  16. after the debate, yes. the retrospectoscope is powerful.
  17. cuz it was purposefully hidden just like the make up on trumps's hand. But that facial droop was not hidden.
  18. dude. I worked ICU's for the first 25 years of practice. You are not an ICU nurse. None of that was from google. It's required knowledge for anyone who works with stroke or heart patients. and it's rudimentary.
  19. I'll bet there are viewers here: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/56828/did-more-people-watch-infowars-than-cnn "CNN had around 800k viewers a day, at its all time peak. Ever. Infowars gets over 500k visits per day not unique users so we can estimate unique users can be 300k, now. We're not even talking peak numbers. And his traffic is way down from all time highs. So yes, Infowars, at its peak, got more traffic than CNN's TV news network." This is a comment on the story. verification is needed but you're welcome to prove him wrong. At any rate, at its peak, infowars had a very large audience.
  20. The most egregious cases with the highest awards belong to the right https://apnews.com/article/alex-jones-infowars-bankruptcy-sandy-hook-0c3576e3c4bd853ac2cc5342118fca8c
  21. remember this? https://apnews.com/article/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trial-trump-2020-0ac71f75acfacc52ea80b3e747fb0afe
  22. glad she's ok. strokes can be devastating. sadly, very common. many treatable risk factors, however. on another note, why do so many of the magas here pretend to be someone they're not? if b man was responsible for monitoring a TIA pt and didn't know what he was looking for and why, it could be disastrous. That said, I know many nurses who are maga. Only about 65% in this region got covid vax despite doing direct patient care.
  23. Refute what I said. If you worked ccu or icu or micu and didn’t know afib causes strokes or that the underlying cause is often coronary artery disease, your patients were in bad hands. what caused the facial droop? Transient Bell’s palsy?
  24. Afib is not terminal. Far from it. But it causes many strokes. That's why if you have it, you're on pradaxa, xarelto or God forbid,, coumadin for the rest of your life Imagine this series of events. A pt is diagnosed with afib. He gets pradaxa. He bruises very easily. Because of the loss of "atrial Kick" and the underlying cause of his afib,(often ischemic heart disease) and his cardiac output decreases. He gets swelling of the ankles. He's short of breath with exertion. He's on lasix and has to pee all the time and needs a diaper. Am I right? Not enough info. but it's entirely plausible. And you wave it off cavalierly. Are you really a nurse? afib would be near the top of potential causes of a TiA. From AI which is extremely convenient and in this cade, accurate Atrial fibrillation (AFib) significantly increases the risk of stroke, making individuals with AFib five times more likely to experience a stroke compared to those without the condition. This is due to the irregular heart rhythm causing blood to pool and form clots, which can then travel to the brain and block blood flow. So yeah, it would be important to identify afib. With no afib, the treatment is platelet inhibitors and no coumadin or newer better anticoagulants. It's possible that he's already on optimal treatment n- nothing more to add.
  25. you really don't believe he'd blow off medical advice? I'm sure Biden was advised to not run again once he clearly manifested Parkinson's. You seem particularly sensitive today. Must be from assassinations in the streets. But nobody made a deal of the Minn D, her husband and dog being killed in their home. No half mast flags. No republicans expressing sympathy. Nancy Pelosi's husband had his skull caved in and there wasn't much outrage from the right. Actually, I believe I saw some disparaging remarks about him right here. To be fair, I'm shaken by the recent political violence. We can discuss causes but neither side is blameless. Certainly not maga. So,, the care of a TIA pt depends on a nurse being able to recognize afib on a monitor. Did you work ICU, CCU, telemetry?
