Thank you,it was decades ago. Had they offered me a jab to "end it". I wouldn't have hesitated. Salmonella is a horrible way to die and is a disgusting mess for those caring for you. It takes a particularly soulless ghoul mentality to deliberately inflict this on the public. It's just plain evil.

I was a young fit 24yrold and salmonella nearly killed me.I got so hot I was packed in ice with fans round me to reduce my temperature and the pain was indescribable.So,I have no doubt some very young,old and medically compromised people are going to die due to this disgusting unforgivable insanity.

There are very few more loathsome despicable pieces of human filth than Jones. Sadly, SCOTUS can't order him to slither back under the rock from whence he came. Still,any day that's a really bad day for the likes of him is a day to celebrate.

"Bletchley Parks Lost Heroes".He was an extraordinary man whose genius saved countless thousands of lives.

Where this a Biden or"heaven forfend " Obama apparatchik.The Gop and their far media puppets would be screaming "TREASON !!!"Demanding arrests and impeachment.It shows how bad things are at most.This might cause a tiny ripple in the media,and the Dems won't be running to a microphone to condemn it.

"Discrete"????? I beg to differ. They've been putting their far right bone fide in plain view FOR DECADES!!!!

Peter @notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
