> It should be noted that these doctors have not just up and quit. They’ve temporarily walked out in protest in a bid to bring attention from the Press to what has been driving this ongoing catastrophe: dipshits not getting vaccinated...

And the percentage of available ICU and hospital beds is becoming limited almost everywhere in the U.S. Doctors are spending hours on the phones trying to find a bed for patients in far flung states.

HOUSTON – Emergency room doctors in Southeast Texas say they are running out of hospital beds, and some patients are waiting hours, sometimes days to be admitted into a hospital. “Are there patients dying because of this that might not have died?

Today rump and team sent out the order to all republicans to kill us.

Patton scene includes this "We are going to kill the enemy but not just kill them, we are going to rip their guts out and use them to grease the treds of the tanks"

Everyone here understands that WE are the enemy he speaks of, I hope.

this film show was from an older Trump event.

He's really working the crowd- fascist style, and no matter that Patton was fighting fascists...

worship him and will die and kill us and their own families in service to him.

And there are 50 million or more of them.

at least it's only temporary. It's hard to comprehend what's going on in this country.
