which I find exemplary, given that it seems to work better in terms of actually "getting through" to people.

Kudos to you, Dr. Davidson!

Every other word out of Tuppence's mouth was "well Obama". And the physician kept saying "but THIS administration is..." and the response again was "but Obama".

you should say that. I simply cannot watch trump or pence speak and I quickly scroll past their photos when they appear in articles. It truly makes me nauseous.

I know Pence doesn't "believe in" the virus, and probably thinks he can pray the germs away. But.
I was surprised the ER dilic and the other man at the table shook his hand. Reflex social responses are hard to stop.

Little Mikey is out of his depth when asked any question. Clueless, airhead is perfect for the Orange Menace who is every bit as dumb. So, is Jared running the country now? The gop has Dumb and Dumber in charge, which explains why everything has gone to hell in 3 short years.

The problem with that is that doctors generally tend to be pretty smart people and too smart to allow him to deflect away from the subject at hand. Pence should probably try to stay out of public places or he will be making a lot of campaign ads for us.
