Who voted for this?

That's Chris Hayes' question right now on MSNBC. He's talking about stopping cancer research, which happened today. Seriously, let's not get numb to this stuff.

Good show about the threats to our healthcare in this country.

Because nobody has ever loved him, and he has never loved anyone. And so he hates everyone. He can’t get love and appreciation, so he is getting attention the only way he knows how. He is vile, cruel, and evil. And utterly, utterly unloved. The majority of people on earth despise him and want him dead. I guess doing this to us is his revenge for that. He’s a sick fuck.

Took about 7 months of screening before he could even get into the trial. It is his last hope.

So, now what? Trump just cuts it all off? On a whim?

Guy has a wife and three children.

Trump don't give a flying fuck. He's mad that doctors disputed his voodoo COVID cures. So he'll kill a bunch of innocent people.
