    Figured it wasn’t gonna be that specifically when he announced the speech by saying “the best is yet to come”. Even the warhawkiest war hawks wouldn’t refer to war as “good times ahead”; they generally go with ‘unavoidable’ or ‘necessary’ or some ‘I am very badass’ murica type shit. That being said, I was pretty concerned he was going to announce a whole array of new and interesting human rights violations.

    Him jerking himself off for 20 minutes like we got was honestly kind of the best case scenario.

    Well, second best anyway. Him having the other kind of stroke live on air would have been the actual best case.

      So, the book above is about a woman with a rare autoimmune disease.

      She gets admitted to a fancy private hospital with a Big Pharm company footing the bill. They want to use her in a dangerous experimental process that will basically destroy her immune system in order to rebuild it.

      At one point, they have to seal her away from the world because she has no way of dealing with any infection.

      They tell her that this is ‘progress.’

      See the connection?
