My only busy day of the week is Tuesday of late, and I’m stuck watching the dog using my parent’s internet. Its almost like high school except this dog is not so tiny. Let’s just call this one “speedy”.
On to the links!
A hurricane ravages Puerto Vallarta! Yes, it happens to crawl up the Sea of Cortez from time to time, it’s probably why Mexico’s west coast is shaped the way it is. I expect a torrential downpour in Phoenix by tomorrow.
Like pro-wrestling, the Army beating up civilians is a real sport in Mexico.
Hmm. Not bad.
For those willing to YOLO into emerging markets.
Chileans skip the chopper ride by being human Guinea Pigs.
Robbing banks in Brazil, is awesome!
President Jair Bolsonaro has information that will lead to the arrest fo Hillary Clinton.

“Like pro-wrestling, the Army beating up civilians is a real sport in Mexico.”
Fine, I won’t read it then.
The page asked me to register.
Yeah its why I use AP, but they miss so much.
I use AP because it punches through all the BS between me and the truth.
AP doesn’t create content. It’s a content sharing service. All the content is produced by member orgs – newspapers, radio stations, tv stations, etc.
A total of 200 seats will be available for each of three concerts given by local rock band Chancho En Piedra over the next three months in a carefully ventilated venue in the capital Santiago.
A veritable Woodstock, that one is.
Attendees must show proof of vaccination, wear masks and submit to PCR tests prior to the event and again eight days after. Preliminary results will be issued in September.
That’s exactly how I want to attend a rock concert.
The stuffy establishment can’t ever hope to contain the unbridled rebelliousness of rock-and-roll culture.
What happens if you don’t get the brain massage 8 days after the concert?
What happens if you don’t get the brain massage 8 days after the concert?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m assuming they keep everyone quarantined inside the venue for 8 days after the concert.
If it has auditorium seating it’s not a real show.
Morning, Mexi.
Good morning!

Of course concerts are safe. Fuck.
“I’m stuck watching the dog using my parent’s internet.”
I want to know more about this internet-using dog. Is he any good at html?
He can close his tags like a champ.
Did I do that right?
I can close tags like a chimp,/em>
What you did there…
LEARN…..
TO….
I already know how to. And HTML is barely (if even) a programming language.
It looks like the bastard grandson of IBM’s Generalized Markup Language.
I was gonna say Michigan Terminal Systems’ TEXTFORM. Close enough, I guess.
BANNED
I really thought this was heading towards “LICK YOUR OWN BALLS”
Wait I thought he was home watching the dog via the Internet.
The dog was just laid off by Vice News.
They fired their second best reporter?

“I know a life of science denial has led me to this sorry fate, and yet, I blame Trump. Trump made me what I am.”
Must be divine retribution by the gods of science for the twin sins of supporting Trump and denying the science on vaccines.
Everybody who speaks out against the vaccine will die from COVID. This is known.
I’m really enjoying this endless string of “COVID Denying Heretic Dies of COVID” stories. I wonder if there will be counterpart stories to the tune of, “Hypochondriac, Hectoring COVID Karen who Wore Hazmat Suit, Had All of the Vaccine Shots, Still Dies of COVID”.
That would be the kind of heartwarming story I’d like to see.
She would have been fine if DeSantis hadn’t banned mask mandates, though.
People on ventilators are generally non-responsive.
For some reason that caused “she was not unresponsive.” What was that from?
Roman Polanski sodomizing a 14 year old that he drugged.
The Louise Woodward case, IIRC.
She testified in her own defense, and the prosecutor, on cross-examination, accused her of being coached, since “unresponsive” was an awfully big word for a 19-year-old to use.

Great job, everyone.
The Taliban gets their once in a lifetime “What did we do to deserve this!” moment.
Do we get credit for all of the “aid” we just left them? Speaking of which, why did the military end up leaving a few giant cargo jets there? I’m no logistics expert but couldn’t they have, I dunno, loaded those up with people/materiel/dogs and flown them out?
Those are all spoken for. Russia and China are using them to transport the other equipment to their countries so they can be reverse-engineered.
China probably told Biden not to.
Aid for what? They’re not even the legitimate government – you know, the one we installed.
It’s a variation on The Mouse that Roared.
Does the Biden administration not hear itself when it talks? I can believe some of this sounds like a good idea in your own head. But once it comes out of your mouth, it should raise some alarm.
“A gay man has been raped and beaten by the Taliban in just the latest example of the new life facing Afghans as their country returns to Islamist rule.
The man, who has not been identified, was lured out of hiding in the capital Kabul by two Taliban fighters who posed as a friend offering safe passage out of the country.
Instead, they beat and raped the man when he arrived to meet them – then took his father’s number so they could tell him that his son is gay.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9942979/Gay-man-raped-beaten-Taliban.html
Sounds like they didn’t think that through.
Who’s gay now ?
‘Salright. The balls didn’t touch.
Damn you, I should not have laughed at this comment.

They only consider bottoms to be gay.
but that means…
*scratches head*
I don’t make the rules.
It also doesn’t count if you say “no homo!” But, you know, in Pashto.
So I guess there’s something in the water there that turns the goats gay?
Obligatory
Get with the times gramps. TikTok makes people gay
They fuck chick goats. Duh. Nobody buggers a male goat.
IIRC that was the Roman position, essentially. Your manliness was not in question as long as you were the pitcher (playing the part of the man, in their view), but to be the catcher was shameful (because you are playing the part of the woman). Which obviously causes a lot of problems socially, given that it leaves no room for an equitable partnership. The Greeks were much more equitable.
You sure got a pretty mouth!

Some attendees hailed the unofficial event as a return to Burning Man’s roots as a counter-culture movement in which money is shunned and ‘radical inclusion’ is extolled, rather than what it has become – drawing celebrities including billionaires from the worlds of finance and technology, according to the New York Post.
The yearly event is officially described as ‘awe-inspiring and joyful ways that lift the human spirit, address social problems and inspire a sense of culture, community and civic engagement.’
Scott London told Forbes that at last year’s unofficial Burning Man ‘there were theme camps, art installations and mutant vehicles, with gorgeous, creatively-costumed people everywhere.’
Yet, he said, ‘it was all unplanned, self-organized and free.’
‘Unlike Burning Man, there were no trash fences, no speed limits, no restrictions beyond those we set for ourselves,’ he said. ‘You could camp anywhere, kick up as much dust as you liked, go for a dip in the nearby hot springs, even make late-night beer runs to Gerlich.
‘Gone were the turkey camps, the celebrity artists, the mayors tours, the VIP lounges, the staffers with badges and walkie-talkies.’
This year, though, the Bureau of Land Management added new restrictions on those camping at Black Rock Desert, including that they were not allowed to build any structures, could not have any fires other than campfires and could not burn structures – even a giant effigy.”

You should watch some of their videos before they had to lock down, with their normal daycare doggies. I kind of tear up at the thought of that traumatized dog getting a chance at that kind of life.
It’s why I spend so much time at the dog park.

“It’s like we don’t feel safe at an institution when there is no particular system in place to, like, how are you protecting Black gender-marginalized folks on this campus?” asked Stanford junior Emily Nichols.
Will someone tell Stanford undergrads to sack the fuck up?
Oh, I cannot wait to see examples of “reasoning with him online.”
AIEEEEE!
it begs the question
Now it’s time to get out the torches and pitchforks.

When did universities become Eloi hatcheries?
So, if its “like” you don’t feel safe, then I think that means you actually do feel kinda safe, right? I mean, you don’t actually feel unsafe, or you would have said so.
And here I thought Stanford was highly selective. Sounds like they can’t even fill their classrooms with people who know how to put together a comprehensible sentence. And she’s a junior, so they’ve been edumacating her for two years.

Are there any pics if the actual sins? I alway think it is B.S. unless I can see the evidence. Sounds more like a lampooning shitposter. Which I always support. Shitposting forever!
I didn’t see anything racist in the posts they showed. But one of the students gave a quote that sounds kind of racist: “”We’re also looking at an institution that continues to protect students like this and that continues to protect Whiteness,”
Someone put up “It’s OK to be White” posters on campus and the FBI got called out. At multiple schools
https://www.thefire.org/ohio-universities-involve-fbi-in-investigation-of-its-okay-to-be-white-and-white-nationalist-groups-postings-on-campus/
So… the FBI put up “It’s OK to be White” posters on campus.
I mean, unless proved otherwise, that is what happened.
“The Jolt: Anti-vaxxers shut down vaccination event, harass state health workers
The headlines out of Gov. Brian Kemp’s latest press conference focused on the thousands of Georgia National Guard troops he’s preparing to deploy to help hospitals fight the pandemic.
But it was Dr. Kathleen Toomey who stopped us in our tracks when she revealed that anti-vaxxer protesters had disrupted several vaccination drives — and forced one to shut down.
We asked aides to Toomey, the state’s top health official, to elaborate. Her office promptly detailed how public health staff “have been harassed, yelled at, threatened and demeaned by some of the very members of the public they were trying to help.”
In one south Georgia county, the anti-vaxxers tracked down public health employees through social media and harangued them with messages of hostility and misinformation about vaccines.
And the event that was canceled was a north Georgia mobile vaccination event, where an organized group of people showed up to harass and name-call public health workers.”
https://www.ajc.com/politics/politics-blog/the-jolt-anti-vaxxers-shut-down-vaccination-event-harass-state-health-workers/KJBPDZ5NCBHSHPSBUI5IYMNR6U/
So now there are actual anti-vaxxers.
Perhaps if they hadn’t systematically shut down any and all dissenting opinions (and facts) concerning the vaccines they wouldn’t be faced with this behavior.
As it stands, when you threaten and eliminate the moderate opposition, you encourage the extreme. There will be more of this.
Here’s the thing.
When you push people, some of them at least push back. I have no doubt that there are people who started as “no mandates”, but as they have been ignored, marginalized, and insulted, they have moved on to “OK, you wanna play? Then no fucking vaccines at all. I don’t want a vaccine, but if we’re doing “everything not mandatory is prohibited’, then let’s do it. BAN THE VACCINE.”
They get pissy when you use their tactics against them.
In Boston they are known as Antvaxa.
Joe Biden has the most Executive level experience with the war of anyone and was part of its ‘management’ for all 20 years. He is great, he is good. All praise him.

So that’s… everything’s OK? Or was it help? Shit… I can’t remember.
Hmm. I think OBE is being pegged, while being forced to watch Biden propaganda videos.
Well, today is shot. Crappy rain all day, stayed home from work, and now daughter is sick so no dinner meet-up. I was looking forward to a flight of bourbon to go with a flight of bacon at a nearby Tapas place. Not the best birthday I’ve had, but that’s life. I got a nice gift “bucket” of variety beers and snacks. Plus a birthday card that makes farting noises, which is cool. Thanks, MIL! I guess we’ll order BBQ in.
/First World Problems
Happy birthday! Sounds pretty good to me.
No kidding. Beer, snacks, BBQ, and a farting birthday card? Frickin’ awesome birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, TARDis!
Sorry it didn’t go as planned, but the farting card sounds cool!
I’m taking it work to share with my middle school colleagues. 🙂
HBD!
Happy Birthday! Sorry you’ll miss the tapas, but hey, BBQ? Sounds good too.
Happy bday!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday. Mmm tapas and bourbon. I think you are a fellow ATLien. Mind sharing the tapas place? My favorite go to for all things celebrated is the Iberian Pig in Decatur.
BBQ faves are Heirloom Market, Fox Bros. and Community Q.
I’m OTP. You can’t you associate with us, you ITP person. You’ll be cast out.
BBQ was from Jim & Nicks. Fox Bros. is quite excellent.
It’s funny, we watch Atlanta Eats all the time. I’m guessing every metro has something similar. We are like, “Let’s go there. Or there.” And then we can’t remember the name of the place. Iberian Pig, I’ll check that out.
Roasters is delicious.
Fogo de chao.
Iberian pig was good. The owner shut it down for kungflu when the rest of Georgia was open for business. When I contacted him about it, he said he did it to “protect his staff” and that he’s a republican. He said some other Democrat kungflu narrative nonsense that democrats say try to hide that they are democrats. In some places in Georgia democrats are not popular, so they hide as RINOs.
I stopped eating there and taking parties of 10+. Fuck that owner. All it did was hurt the minimum wage employees that needed their job when the hysteria started in 2020.
Tapas!!! nom nom nom

I’ve got to go home and eat crow. Wish me luck, the Italian wife holds grudges.
Good luck. How’s the other wife?
See this is why my second family lives in Oklahoma. I only have to eat crow when I go there.
So, how’s she serving it? Crow Diablo? Crow Cacciatore?
As long as it’s served with polenta.
I prefer Crow Francese
Chicken Francese is from Brooklyn.
With extra sarcasm
I heard a comedian last night say that Italian food is so awesome that the world is willing to forgive Italians for their violent history. He said the Germans have a similar history, but hotdogs and hamburgers weren’t enough to redeem Hitler. And yet, even though Mussolini was jut as bad, all the Italians had to do when WWII was over was say, Look everybody! We made lasagna!
Good luck

How are we going to get the Kabul airport up and running if all of our official people are no longer in Afghanistan?
Video job description for future Afghani ATC
Cause the FAA and ICAO both said it was an unmanned tower — so good luck! Remember though, we were ready, we had all the contingencies in place, even the troops rushing back in were planned for. And *wags finger* NOT-ONE-AMERICAN (that counts) was left behind. Beau Bridges served the navy, I’ve told you that before right…anyway while he served in the Army he died years later.
Just like most veterans, he got brain cancer.
Real pilots don’t need a control tower. With the likely small number of flights in and out, anyone who wants to brave ground fire can use see-and-avoid and standard CTAF calls.

Well…apparently the the adults teaching said babies are so ideological driven that they refuse to make a distinction between a rabble of disorganized, unarmed jackoffs “storming” the capitol via minor vandalism and taking photos on their cellphones after being admitted by a significant portion of the Capitol Police and a government coup.
It’s refreshing to hear an honest admission that their job is spreading leftist politics rather than, I dunno, educating children.

Its true – anyone who is serious about vax papieren would require at least two weeks after the first shot before it counts.
The Raiders at least are. You can get a shot at game time, but still have to be masked if so. At least they are following the ‘science’. Vax’d? No mask. Un-vax’d, you can get the shot but be masked and once done, you are free to enjoy the fresh air around you.

Speaking of the South Tahoe fire – one of my buddies is down there on the Nevada side of the border. Chatted with him last night – think his wife was going to evacuate with their baby today – he was going to stick around a little longer. May get an update later.
Pass along there is nothing to stick around for if the wife and baby are gone…go. Homes can be rebuilt.
I told him that. He’s got insurance.
I think he’s also in university there locally and that location hasn’t actually closed (not sure how far away).
I just wrote an email to the Texas governor’s office, asking them to enforce the law the governor signed outlawing vaccine passports. The fuckers running the ACL Festival we got tickets to sent out an email saying they are now requiring vaccine passports to enter. Or, they’ll discriminate against those of us who do not wish to divulge legally privileged medical info by making us get a COVID test.
We’ll see if the gov has the cojones to enforce the law he signed.
Failing that, don’t give them your business.
Well, this is disturbing. Just got a call from the local gendarmes with instructions on what to do when there is flooding. I’m guessing they don’t think the Hackensack River can handle the expected 5″ of rain. I’m about 1/2 mile from the river, shouldn’t be an issue. On the other hand, the brook that runs 200 ft. behind my house and feeds that river might be a problem. Time to break out the sandbags, I guess.
Sounds like you may need hundreds to stop the overspill. I know you’re not a young man anymore. I hope you have backup and good luck, sir.
Thanks. Planning for the worst, hoping for the best. I have backup in the form of a 23-year old
orphanson, who will be working for his supper.Where do you even get sandbags and sand on short notice?
I don’t. I have a whole bunch of old towels I use on the basement door. Not perfect, but it did mitigate the issue the one and only time the water reached the house. Wound up with an inch of water in part of the basement, no real damage.
Thankfully I live almost on top of a hill.
We actually had a day this summer, though, when there was so much water in the temporary creeks that the dog didn’t want to go any farther.
I should have added that the weather forecast I saw said were supposed to get 2-4 inches, but the area for even higher totals wasn’t far from here.
Last week during Henri, parts of Greene County just north of here got 8 inches.
Nice to be at the top of a hill. 8″ of rain can be a problem.
Well, we’re just shy of the top so if we get that much rain we get an inch or two of water in the garage.
Ice in the winter is a problem, however.
#metoo
Well, that and seven stories up.
Yikes. Best wishes.
Fingers crossed
Thanks all. I think I’ll be ok. At the bottom of the hill about 1/2 mile from here is another story. About 10 years ago that part of town was under about 5 feet of water, cars were floating in the streets. Hope they are OK.
Good luck, brother.
After a 20 year war I doubt many Americans can find Afghanistan on an unmarked map. I can’t picture many or any of my peer group that I hang with would have any idea. Same goes for Viet Nam. People run to vote with no idea of the issues but they get the little sticker that says “I Voted”.
We’re pretty sure North Korea is north of South Korea, wherever in hell that is.
It’s south of North Korea. Don’t you know *anything*?
East of Java?
The dividing line of North/South Korea is the H-Mart in Fort Lee, NJ.
*chuckle*

Alternate Headline:
Delta faces massive labor shortage after imposing fascist mandates that violate the sovereignty of body of its employees.
“Thousands of Delta and other airline employees took early retirement packages during the pandemic at their companies’ urging as they tried to cut labor costs.”
AKA: Vax or get Axed.
They certainly cut costs, didn’t they? They may have an issue with revenue if there’s no one around to run the operation, however. Funny how that works.
No, they’ll just cut staff and flights and rely on those sweet, sweet, federal handouts to cover overhead.
I have a friend who is a Captain on the A330 for American and she is pissed. She’s a few years from mandatory retirement but I think she’s ready to leave it all behind at this point.
Dont forget hysterical policy for passengers like no seating of middle seats, mask mandates, and the other kungflu nonsesne that resulted in massive income losses for airlines.
Isolationism!
“When you look at the disaster in Afghanistan, remember: This is what isolationism looks like. Much more attractive in theory than in practice.”
20 years of troops on the ground is what isolation looks like. I learn something new every day.
What kind of a fucking moron writes that sort of shit?
One who works for the Pentagon?
No, this is what incompetent execution of policy looks like. I never read anywhere that isolationism necessitated getting your ass kicked in the process.
Sure, Americans being put into harms way in a foreign country is all about what not getting involved in other countries’ affairs looks like.
WWI and WWII both had the USA as Isolationist before we finally intervened and defeated the aggressors.
Peace thru superior firepower and isolationism can absolutely be workable for America.
In fact, it gives America the moral high ground that our wars are moral wars of self defense.
I guessed wrong. I thought it das David Frum.
Max Boot would have been another plausible guess.
Re: Puerto Vallarta hurricane Nora: The National Hurricane center shows no cyclonic activity, not even a depression, in the Eastern Pacific. The only thing near Mexico is a low that has only 10% potential to form a cyclone in 48 hours. Is the NHC broken?

Some relatively good news, from a communication I received from Air Care Alliance:
Hey Waffles,
I’m unsupervised Thursday and Friday. Any interest in shooting stuff?
Well, it turns out my doctor is retarded. I calmly explained that I have health concerns about getting the vaccination. I gave him two pretty serious red flags I have. One, that I have lost consciousness during injections in the past and two, that I have gotten severe tinnitus from vaccines previously (flu shots.) he told me that neither is sufficient to avoid the shot. He said the only side effect is minor arm pain. He told me that he believes every unvaxxed person will get covid. Every single one. He told me that the hospitals are full of corpses from people dying of covid. I countered him with facts, but he deflected them like a TMITE anchor. I told him that on any given day 5 people die in los Angeles county and that equals 1 in 2 million. I told him that it’s preposterous to say that every single person will get any disease. I told him that he can also include the vaccinated because 60% of the gravely ill in Isreal are fully vaccinated. He said that was fake news and bad facts. I can’t believe that I have been taking any medical advice from such an idiot. If I was a doctor, I would at least have a vague Idea what the red flags are for a vaccine I am pushing on people and at least be aware of the obvious red flags. Isreal is the absolute best test site there is for this shit. They had the most vaccinated and the earliest. Doctors who are telling people what to do with this vaccine should be aware of what has been going on in Isreal. Anyway, I am going to be drafting my “strongly held belief” letter and submitting that. Fuck.
Find a new doctor, that guy got his MD in a minimall.
How many people are dying according to the inflated stats, and how many hospital beds are there in Los Angeles County?
All of them? 21,929
Dunno how many beds there are, but about 5-6 people a day are dying “from” covid, here. There’s 10 million people in the county. You need ten people to die to get to one-in-a-million on a given day. There’s not a huge pile of corpses from covid at any given hospital, much less only at St. Josephs.
You can tell your doctor that I, me, will never get the vaccine.
Im taking at least one of those fuckers with me to the grave if they try.
The diamond princess covid outbreak proved early in 2020 that the death rate is <1% and infection rate is ~10%. That was with thousands of passengers and the crew breathing recycled air for weeks.
Titty Tuesday shan’t be denied!

I wonder how long it will be before some company or city gets sued for their vaccines mandate on disparate impact grounds proving this is racially motivated. Or has it happened already?
The State of Maine had a complaint filed against on Title VII grounds by over 750 healthcare workers when they eliminated any religious exemption from vax mandate two weeks before the vax was “approved.” There’s an ADA angle to be played, as well, but it’s not great. Novel, based on an offhand 6th Cir. decision that says that taking an mRNA vaccine causes “abnormal cell growth” – which is what the 6th Cir. ruled could be grounds for an ADA request for accommodation.
The whole thing is just…idiotic. All of it.
Motion for a TRO against the DoD got filed yesterday; Filed the complaint last week.
The FDA approved a different vaccine (COMIRNATY) then said that there are no stocks of that, but the Pfizer BioNtech is suitable as a substitute because it’s “legally distinct” but still “the same” – that’s the basis for jabbing the military with a vaccine that the FDA also extended the EUA for. So it’s Schroedinger’s vaccine – simultaneous and EUA, but also “approved” because it can sub in for the actually “approved” vaccine… which isn’t available yet.
The BioNtech has never actually completed a controlled Phase III trial because – as someone linked here a few weeks back – Pfizer unblinded the placebo group in the “placebo controlled” study… and let those people take the vaccine. Which converts the whole thing into an open-label observational study. I believe it was planned that way from the beginning because no Covid vaccine would be able to beat a placebo group to show efficacy given that this is mostly the flu and is zero threat to heathy people – which is what early trials require.
That Catch-22…. it sure is something.
I know a people who participated in the trials. Every single one did it to get the vax as soon as possible. The minute the drug went to EUA, they told the companies they were going to get the vax unless the companies told them they already got it. Screw the deal I made, gimme the shot.
So, the trials were doomed even if they weren’t unblinded. I lost respect for some people, watching that unfold.
We have zero data from double blind studies on an experimental vaccine that is being given to hundreds of millions of people. If this doesn’t turn into a disaster, it will be pure luck.
The VAERS system stood up on 1 July 1990. For the first 30 years (roughly) there were ~6K deaths for ALL vaccines in the US.
Since the Covid vaxxes went hot, we have over 12K death reports (and that doesn’t include the overnight reduction by CDC of 6K deaths at one point) for the Covid vaxxes. “YOU CAN’T PROVE IT CAUSED IT!!!”
The Schroedinger’s VAERS system is simultaneously used to prove that “vaccines are safe” but it also canNOT be used to conclude that there’s anything wrong with 12K death reports attributable to the most recent vaxxes – which account for 98% of all VAERS death data since they went live.
It already is a disaster, RC, as I’m sure you know.
In 1976 Gerald Ford tried to mass inoculate the US from a novel swine flu. 25-35 people died and 400-500 got Guillian Barre in 43MM vaccinated and shut down the whole thing. Now we kill more than 10K and it’s “NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!”
At this point, there is a nefarious reason that democrats want to demand that you take the vaccine. They really want that inside your body for a reason and its not because of science. Even someone who already survived covid infection.
I personally think commies in china have created a multi part bio weapon. The most targeted bioweapon ever designed. Only suckers who get the various boosters die from it. Every one else in the communist party is fine.
Im not getting the vaccine and likely have already been exposed to sars-covid19.
I made this for dinner. Turned out really well!
A little curry goes along way. It wasn’t too much?
nope, just right for me.
When did the Left become so cool with the idea that hospitals should refuse to treat unvaccinated people? I thought healthcare was a human right that must not ever be denied for any reason whatsoever, and also that anything that has a disparate impact on minorities is tantamount to explicit racism (last I heard, black people are distrustful of government promises of free healthcare procedures for some crazy conspiracy nutjob reason).
My question to any Left-leaning person who expresses that view is going to be, “So you support a policy that denies the human right of healthcare and disproportionately affects minorities?”
