@RealCandaceO Since you already have access to the documents from the French lawsuits, you know very well that Brigitte Macron is female. In other words, you know very well that your accusations are false.

The most ridiculous thing you can ever do is respond to a mean tweet in tones of outrage. Do you get mad at the toaster?

#chronicpain after four years of research, talking with our core experts, and considering all things published, we have come to the conclusion that for any pain other than minor pain, opioid pain medicines are indicated as first drug of choice. We are happy to hear logical…

“ Opioids? Of all the things to be defending” How dare people with pain want to live a quality-filled life and not be treated like a rabid animal, documented as a drug seeker, be experimented on; put on harmful medications that cause dementia or dental decay

Because I was raised politically by institutional conservative organizations, I’m still, even now, amazed and disoriented by how thoroughly they’ve abandoned everything they once stood for. The intellectual dishonesty is breathtaking.
