Whatever ..... I will admit it's difficult to engage in any sort of polemic protocol with a rabid crowd, unaware of junior high level polemics. You haven't supported anything with a respected source. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Physicians engage in gallows humor, maybe to relieve stress. Informing families of an imminent death isn't easy, and too many people know common medical jargon, e.g. 'coding','code blue' "presenting with algor mortis', most people can figure these terms out. Someone spinning out of control to the same extent the Dear Leader is, would be said to be "PBAB", or "pine box at bedside". The man is losing it, and it is finally starting to concern republicans. Don't think so ? You need to consult legitimate sources. <br /> <br />Consider - Oct. 16, 2019 at 7:01 p.m. EDT President Trump stood in a crowded East Room on Wednesday afternoon with the Italian president at his side, scores of aides and reporters at his feet, and a bank of cameras relaying his words to millions.Yet he seemed alone against the world.The House on Wednesday condemned his sudden Syria pullout in a lopsided 354-to-60 vote. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) repeatedly branded Trump’s actions “a mistake.” The Italian president visited the White House with rebukes from Europe on Syria, NATO and trade. U.S. officials, defying Trump, continued their damaging testimony to the congressional impeachment inquiry. Authorities arrested a fourth associate of Rudy Giuliani.And Trump acted the way he increasingly has lately: as if the walls are closing in. Trump lashed out, indiscriminately, in all directions. His unfocused rage was as cogent as a primal scream and as subtle as a column of Turkish tanks.

Boy, for a self proclaimed brilliant internet doctor you sure make a lot of grammatical errors.<br /><br />And yes, California has a homeless problem. Topeka does not. California has half of America's homeless living here. And LA, San Fran, two liberal enclaves are destroyed at this point by homeless drug addicts living on the streets. They are miserable shitholes unless you got the bucks to live outside the ghetto. Topeka on the other hand, not so much. Affordable, jobs to be had, homes to be bought and no camps of drug addled hobos living in tent cities downtown. So, no comparison.<br /><br />But thanks for playing you commie bastard.

So when you attempt to understands the roots of so many problems we confront on our very own streets, look no further than your own back yard. Did you ever wonder why Topeka State Hospital closed ? When federal funding was pulled from these facilities, thousands of lunatics hit the streets not just in Topeka, but all across the country. Most homeless fall into one of three categories, 1- the insane, 2- the drug addicted ( and or also insane ), and 3- those who just cannot get the cash to get off the streets. The more successful a state is, the higher the cost of living, the more homeless you will find. Add to that a climate that makes being homeless at least tolerable, and the number goes way up. <br /><br />So you had better get used to it. But don't blame "liberal, commie, 'soshulist' policy - put the blame where it belongs. <br /><br />Back to work, but one last thing..... you're hero ( speaking of individuals presenting with an array of mental health issues ), is going down. Defections are weekly from staffers in the White House, to various departments. I have it on good source that the top brass at the Pentagon are absolutely disgusted with Trump's disastrous policies in the Middle East. We have left one of our few allies, the Kurds to fend for themselves. They had kept ISIS in check, and placed according to State Dept. sources around 10,000 ISIS terrorist in prison. Well, they're getting out. Cadet Bone Spurs has no clue what he's doing. And while the person who goes by 'Rikki' thinks the republican sun continues to rise, polls across the board say otherwise. But when your source is the Examiner... really, the Examiner ??!! of course your information is flawed. Like the Washington Times, Breitbart, Drudge, etc. it is simply not taken seriously and has been called out hundreds of time for twisting facts. But that's what the group that like to call itself republican does. It's difficult to cover up stories like the two Ukrainian oligarchs who tried to escape only to be caught in the act at Dulles Intl Airport. They had been in bed with Giuliani. Now insiders say Giuliani is going to sing. Your path ahead does not look good.

Just check something easy to read and accessible like wikipedia - <br /> " Bakersfield has consistently ranked as one of the least educated metropolitan areas in the United States.[65][66] A study by the Brookings Institution using 2008 data found that the proportion of Bakersfield metro adults age 25 and over with a bachelor's degree was the lowest (14.7%) of the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the United States; that 100th-place finish was down from being ranked 95th in 1990.[67] "<br /><br />Then for personal reviews, check YELP. Here's a fairly standard critique of Bakersfield - <br /><br />"1.0 star rating12/30/2017<br />Apparently run by "conservatives", this vile city north of L.A. has NO EXCUSE for it's problems:<br /><br />1) The air quality is WORSE than China. It absolutely must exceed California Air Quality standards. It smells like crap. You can't see the sky and visibility is very limited. It's filled with chemicals that make you high, make your heart and lungs hurt, and make you jaw. But if you ask, the hypnotized locals will say "it's just haze." Bull-s -- it's chemicals from the unregulated industry, drug manufacturing operations, and farmer's pesticides. Can we be honest?<br /><br />Who allows that?<br /><br />2) The city has so many homeless and crackheads that you absolutely cannot walk on the sidewalks. When you do, you are propositioned by drug dealers and whores. And, you catch diseases like MRSA. And your shoes will be covered with human urine.<br /><br />3) If you are white, you will turn heads everywhere you go with people challenging you and hating on you for your race.<br /><br />This city will take years off your life just breathing the air. The excuse that "it's cheap up here" is a crock of s---.<br /><br />4) There is so much methamphedimine up here but nothing is done about it. It is absolutely a third world country.<br /><br />They need to FIRE every elected official and invoke martial law."<br /><br />Ouch. It seems that nobody posting here understands simple economics. California is expensive because the demand to live there is high. Those who just can't cut it end up in what our draft dodging coward in the White House would call "shit holes" like Bakersfield. Yes, there are homeless in L.A. I've seen homeless people in Topeka. <br /><br />California has one of the biggest and most dynamic economies in the world. It is larger that the economy of Russia. I have family in California, and a sister who was on staff at Stanford Hospital. She and her husband loved Menlo Park. You've simply found yourself in bed with the "have nots". But how did we get to this point ? <br /><br />Since you're in California, do some research on Ronald Reagan. Okay, I'll do some for you. Reagan deinstitutionalized clinics, state hospitals, and many outpatient programs for the mentally ill. Yes, Saint Ronnie Reagan. Mommy probably told him one looked at her funny or something. Sadly Nancy, not everybody can afford Betty Ford's Clinic. Don't believe me ? <br /><br />The following is from a paper published by Penn State. <br /><br />"The lack of institutional care of critically mentally ill patients in the United States has become a complicated problem that has resulted in victimization, homelessness, and incarceration of these individuals. In 1967, the State of California was one of the first states to deinstitutionalize mentally ill patients when it passed the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (Lyons, 1984). This act had a profoundly negative impact on the lives of the mentally ill. So, why would the Reagan Administration choose to end “the federal government’s role in providing services to the mentally ill” (Pan, 2013)?

Talking to s...California is indeed a strange place. Talking to some long time residents up here where I live, (Trump country, by the way) they have no idea what happened to their state. How they went from a beautiful state filled with prosperity and an agricultural system that fed the county to streets filled with used needles, hobos and shit running down the sidewalks. The general consensus is that California decided to go full commie and hand stuff out to the mooches to buy vote. Free healthcare for illegals. Welfare for the hobos. Free everything except for the taxpayers. We pay through the ass.<br /><br />Interesting thing is, the people who are getting all the free stuff as a rule don't vote. Up here where I live there are little groups of the tweakers and criminals. Most of them are hiding out or have been sent here from Bakersfield so they don't have to deal with them. But they are too busy getting high and stealing to vote. Most of them don't have a permanent address, or have an address in another city hours away. So they're not voting, and I suspect that's more the rule than not. California cities are all shipping their homeless and criminals to other cities who ship them somewhere else until they end up places like where I live, where we are unincorporated so we have no resources to ship them elsewhere.<br /><br />Over half of the homeless in America live in California. And why not? It's warm, the dumpsters don't freeze shut. It's legal to camp anywhere. In the park, on the sidewalks, under the bridges. You can buy a broken down camper and park it anywhere and live in it. Take a shit on the sidewalk outside the door.<br /><br />This commie governor reduced the theft threshold to $1,000 so when they get caught burglarizing or shoplifting they just get a citation and set free. And they never show up for court. They barely exist within the system. They're all ghosts. <br /><br />So they can steal whatever they want. They never go to jail. If they do get arrested they're turned loose same day. They can live anywhere they want, shoot drugs, shit in the street or in your yard. Perfect place for homeless people to live.<br /><br />And these idiots here keep electing the same commies to shove more of this down their throats. And the state is virtually bankrupt with billions in unfunded lifetime pensions to pay. So they raise the taxes, drive out the workers and draw the bums and mooches. Pretty hopeless.

In the call, Schiff discussed obtaining nude photographs of Trump from the foreign agents.<br /><br />Hollis, who has run several unsuccessful races against Schiff since 2001, wrote the OCE claiming that this attempt to get illicit photographs of Trump from the pranksters is “illegal collusion with foreign entities.”<br /><br />“This letter serves as an official complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) regarding Rep. Adam Schiff’s illegal collusion with foreign entities and misuse of taxpayer resources for opposition research on political enemies,” Hollis wrote in the complaint. “The evidence supporting Adam Schiff's violations of the law is compelling and irrefutable.”<br /><br />Schiff has denied that he did anything wrong in the prank call because he intended to loop the FBI into the investigation. Hollis, however, claimed in the complaint that Schiff was in the wrong for his attempt to include the FBI in his political endeavors against the president.<br /><br />“It is clear from the recorded phone call that Rep. Schiff knows he should not be trying to obtain opposition research on a political opponent from foreign nationals. He attempts to mask his wrongdoing by, on numerous occasions, mentioning that he will work with the FBI. In so doing, Rep. Schiff is attempting to involve the FBI in his corrupt attempt to obtain dirt on President Trump,” Hollis wrote. “The FBI should not be in the business of teaming up with politicians to use the power of government to dig up dirt on political opponents.”<br /><br />Schiff has been a leading Democrat in the impeachment inquiry against Trump on the basis that the president tried to pressure Ukrainian leaders to give dirt on his potential 2020 general election competitor, former Vice President Joe Biden.<br />_________<br /><br />Oh wouldn't it be beautimus if Adam Schiff got voted out of Congress?!!<br />Rikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400350021161744353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555963699911004826.post-1323551288453364562019-10-16T08:25:59.251-05:002019-10-16T08:25:59.251-05:00Hey Sarge, you & Ghost doing ok?Hey Sarge, you & Ghost doing ok?

Huh?? I mean we are talking CIA Agent, Right? The ones that "defend" our security and safety! Then I have to ask, why, all of the sudden, the transcript of the phone call, which we have already seen, is apparently and suddenly "OK" according to "Shiff for Brains", when before he just had to have a person, the so-called "whistle-blower" testify on the same stuff that is in the transcript; A person who did not even hear the phone call personally, but is relying on someone else's interpretation of the call, which has now apparently also came out of the woodwork to "whistle-blow". How can you whistle-blow on something that is already public and available to the general public to see if they wish to? <br /> And who, when all of this is over will be the person that will primary against "Mittens" Romney, when the next election for his position comes up? There had better be someone because that ass-hole needs to go!<br /> My next question is When will the stupid-ass Dims who support this mess finally concede that their party leaders are a bunch of lying scum-bags that need to be voted out and locked up? Are they really that ignorant, stupid, or out to lunch, to continue to believe this crap? <br /> My next question is who are the dumb-asses that are giving answers to poll questions that suggest that Trump could be beaten by ANY of the current Dims running for President and also who are the ones that are now supposedly supporting impeachment that were not before? My guess is that either the polls are heavily being answered in Democratic parts of the country and/or the Trump supporters are doing what they did in the 2016 election and giving the polls false information! <br /> These are just a few of the questions that come to mind when I hear about all of this crap going on! <br /> Gary Sandellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419579226494053504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555963699911004826.post-33485910824388200582019-10-15T14:24:40.576-05:002019-10-15T14:24:40.576-05:00They have no idea what kind of price they're g...They have no idea what kind of price they're gonna pay for all this bullshit.<br /><br />But they will...Kevin McGintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164308652737418093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555963699911004826.post-5259518493714375152019-10-15T12:48:02.335-05:002019-10-15T12:48:02.335-05:00Just saw this on the Washington Examiner....

"With this second witch hunt, this ridiculous talk of impeachment ... I think it's getting more people off the sidelines. It's not something people outside D.C. want."<br /><br />"In the last couple weeks we picked up 50,000 new donors. Fifty thousand — I mean, that's unheard of. And a lot of these people are not people who have given to campaigns in the past, a lot of these people are not people who have volunteered for campaigns in the past," the official said. "If I was on the other side, I would think that would be a loud message coming from people outside D.C., everyday Americans who are tired of these witch hunts."<br /><br />A second senior Trump campaign official pointed to the Republican National Committee's ongoing $2.3 million ad buy targeting freshman House Democrats in districts won by Trump, saying it's a reflection of confidence in public opposition to impeachment.<br /><br />Trump will speak this week at a rally in Dallas. Last week, he spoke at rallies in Louisiana, where he supported GOP governor candidates, and in Minnesota, which Hillary Clinton narrowly won in 2016. Campaign officials, speaking on a conference call, highlighted efforts to hold states Trump won in 2016 while flipping Minnesota, New Hampshire, and New Mexico.<br /><br />Although the Trump campaign cited intensifying support, polls show an uptick in support for impeachment — now around 50% — after a whistleblower revealed that Trump asked Ukraine's president to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The campaign did not provide statistics to support the claim about rally size, which is determined by factors such as venue size.<br /><br />The Trump campaign argued Tuesday the Ukraine controversy is a continuation of Democrats unfairly persecuting Trump.<br /><br />"The Democrats since the very beginning, since actually before the time where he took the oath of office, began plotting how to get rid of him," one official said. "At first, they had the Russia hoax. Of course, that fell apart ... and now they've moved on to this next wave of ideas for how they are going to impeach and remove the president."<br /><br />"What the Democrats are trying to do with this very partisan approach to removing a duly elected president of the United States makes a lot of people angry in the country," the official said. "A lot of what we're seeing in the states is organic. I think that just goes to show you how upset voters are."<br />____<br /><br /><br />Rikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400350021161744353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555963699911004826.post-45585326116687075662019-10-15T12:37:56.679-05:002019-10-15T12:37:56.679-05:00Sometimes I wished there were actually a time mach...Sometimes I wished there were actually a time machine.... so that we could go back in time, and fix where things went askew starting with Madalyn Murray O'hair.
