for help and went unanswered.
My dad went off. He called bullshit and said if he cared about Americans begging for help he'd support universal health care - over 100,000 Americans die every year due to lack of adequate health care (25,000 Benghazi's EVERY YEAR). And social programs to help the poor. Etc.
My dad's good people.

Stupid people never do. Honestly, the whole GOP is now textbook Dunning-Kruger Effect in action, all the smart guys have either retired, died off, or defected.
