  1. Of course that's to be expected from someone of low character like me.
  2. Are you suggesting that every follow on post in an internet blog thread must have a clarifying preamble sufficient that it won't offend your delicate sensibilities, and also conform to your own strict conversational rules so that at the bare minimum you can understand the intent? Unlike the Bible, for example?
  3. I guess "if-then" hypotheticals are more than you can handle.
  4. Not really, when you're short on smarts you simply need to put in extra effort. My practice is that when I sit with my finalist specialists it's an interview. I would never take a specialist solely on a PCP referral.
  5. No, I am observing that positive outcomes are a possibility in any unfortunate event.
  6. He just affirmed that first will be pardons for Jailed insurrectionists. I assume you’re in agreement.
  7. Coming out must be so relieving for you. Now you can outright state that Trump didn’t incite an insurrection or steal secret documents or finger a resisting woman or tell a single white lie. Nope, the poor lad was targeted.
  8. Well, you wrote this: "Medicare doesn’t require a primary care physician and there are no referrals required to see a specialist - however the specialist usually requires one. Within the VA, the PCP is the pivot point. I hurt my foot, I see him, he refers me to an orthopod in the VA, if it's greater than 30 days out, it shifts to CinC". Wherein you artfully explain that with Medicare you don't need a PCP but in the VA system you do. So yes, that does sound like Trump bullshit. Also, the VA PCP chooses your specialist where in Medicare the choice is yours. And I have never yet had a specialist ask for a referral. But then I am always very studied up of the procedures, have read what the specialist has published, have a solid feel for their experience with the procedure and the devices, have my own preferences, and also precede my appointment request by providing recent imaging. Maybe you aren't as picky.
  9. Sneaking up on a victim and shooting them in the back is anything but heroic and were I consulted I would not have made the recommendation. But it happened and is now news. For a lot of folks anything less wouldn't have blipped on their radar screens.
  10. If a speeding car runs over a serial killer I'd say there was a certain positive outcome in an unfortunate event. Amazing to me is that a beret wearing member of team ends justifies the means wouldn't agree.
  11. Ralph Himmelsbach rented a hangar from me for years and took, what seemed to me at the time, an unhealthy interest in Mrs Weber's young son Joseph.
  12. So standard insurance bullshit. There is no equivalency. And no, Medicare does not "usually" require a referral between specialists in my experience which is substantial. What is so important to you that you insist that VA bullshit is no different than Medicare? It is worse by your own examples.
  13. But with VA insurance, per your post, it's not the same. With VA there is a PCP requirement etc. Not so?
  14. Would you run across a busy street on belief only because a long lost book said nothing about streets and cars and do so in exclusion of what your reasoning faculties tell you? Of course not. Go for it but don't be surprised if others have a few pointed questions to ask in advance of our following.
  15. Do you just skip over posts or are you just so angry and exploited by your masters that your critical reading faculties have been undermined?

    Because the incoming United States President is a vindictive piece of shit who is obviously weaponizing the justice department to go after his perceived enemies. Next time take the different colored pill.
  17. Richravizza, I heard. There are some planned changes, disabling spell check for example, but otherwise no worries.

    Get with it man. Trump has vowed retribution and you well know it. Why give him the chance, especially with his son? I say Biden should extensively pardon anyone Trump might go after just to take the wind from his sails and maybe he'll get on with governance instead.
  19. You could have stayed in jail, but you didn’t.
  20. Jesus Christ, that’s rich. Who was the dipstick who suggested giving you a pardon?
  21. For sure that’s it. I simply don’t think Joe Biden is in cahoots on anything. It’s his kid and Trump would happily ruin him. Is he a douche, sure, but does he deserve jailing? I don’t think so.
  22. Are you sure you don't have Medicare Advantage? That's like VA with a PCP requirement.

    You mean those dastardly gun charges and horrendous tax crimes?

    I am tired of waiting for the Biden Crime Families crimes to be discovered. Let's pillory the bastards and ask MBS to give them $2 Billion. That'll teach 'em.
