Anecdotally, wasn't sure what to make of this. I rode down to the hospital quarter and sure enough...

Dr. David Persse, who is health authority for the Houston Health Department and EMS medical director, said some ambulances were waiting hours to offload patients at Houston area hospitals because no beds were available. Persse said he feared this would lead to prolonged respond times to 911 medical calls.

Under the heading of DUH and "shocking".

Exxon suspended from climate advocacy group it helped form

The move comes a little over a month after an Exxon lobbyist said the company supports a carbon tax publicly because the plan to curb climate change would never gain enough political support to be adopted.

I'd say karma, but really - the level of stupidity is so far off the charts, that I wonder how some of these people have survived this long.

There needs to be harsh penalties for frivolous lawsuits like this.

This woman’s mind was poisoned by Trump and right wing media and it led directly to her death. Now how family has been poisoned by the same garbage media.

I don’t think anything is going to come of this. These **** never see any repercussions for their actions.

I think it would be pretty shocking if a secret service officer carrying out their duty would be held to a lower standard than any other LEO in this country. Although she was white so maybe thing's'll be different, who knows.

It’s comical how they keep referring to the President when they mean
the ex-President. I guess they believe he’s going to be reinstalled any day now.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

It really is unbelievable that an ex President of the US talks like that - and it barely makes the news. Before Trump became President, there was no chance any President or ex President of any party would say something so Un-American and anti-police like that.

Joe and Jill went over the hill
you can still hear the laughter
Joe fell down, concussed his crown
and it's all downhill ever after.
