The whole idea behind these problems is that they tend to hold keys to nature. It’s like a secret language, and to get the answer you have to embed yourself in the culture. This is the equivalent of colonialism I. The digital age. Nobody cares about the answer, Sam. It’s about the understanding.

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

Instead of lowering healthcare costs or gas prices, Trump is spending YOUR tax dollars on an illegal, blatantly political ad. He knows how unpopular he is — and now he is using your money to try to change your mind. Corrupt & illegal.

If this is surprising to anyone, I am shocked but I keep my eye on it daily. Like Dr. Barber states, if you cut people off, they’ll go to the next place they can. And by law, that would be your Emergency Rooms (meaning everyone that shows up gets treated, see EMTALA).

Clip from Ground News - “The legislative push ultimately failed in a 47-50-1 vote right before midnight, with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul choosing to vote “present” to give the president leverage for peace, leaving the Senate to immediately depart for a two-week recess as Trump publicly praised the submission on social media.”

I know so many Americans, who are the best people I have ever met! It's sad your country is going through these...
Panel 1: Against a light blue background, Sven stands on the left, looking up at a white, simplified character sitting behind a high gray desk labeled "INSURANCE". Sven says, "I NEED HEALTHCARE". The insurance agent looks at him with an open mouth, saying, "LMAO! YOU SERIOUS?".

Panel 2: The scene slightly zooms out. A second white character has joined the first behind the insurance desk. The first agent points dramatically at Sven, shouting to his colleague, "HEY! THIS GUY WANTS HEALTHCARE!". The second agent throws his head back in intense laughter, shouting, "AHAHAHA!!". Sven stands there looking dejected and small.

Panel 3: The scene abruptly cuts to a bedroom with a purple wall. Sven is in bed, waking up in a cold sweat with a terrified, wide-mouthed expression, sweating and shouting, "NOOOO!!". Next to him, a green-skinned partner with blonde hair opens their eyes sleepily and asks, "WHAT'S WRONG, SVEN?".

Panel 4: A close-up of Sven sitting up in the dark against a pitch-black background. He looks deeply shaken, clutching his head with sweat dripping down his face. He somberley says, "I THINK I HAD AN AMERICAN DREAM...".
