"They took hospitals and health care away from you so they could build concentration camps for immigrants."
I know that Medicare/ Medicaid is Democrats’ native language & what they’re happiest speaking but I’d love for SOME prominent person to try the line “they increased the debt limit by $5 trillion in order to triple size of ICE & make its detention center bigger than the whole federal prison system.”

Few outside of Canada understand our combination of civility, empathy and steel in our spine - this speech explains all that.

- Kids < 8 yo - consider surgical trach
