36. It's the point of praising someone

Fri Oct 31, 2025, 02:49 PM

Friday

For theoretically placing a vote helping older people with home care while they are actively advocating for, in some cases, for those very same older, handicap or young children, to starve to death and/or lose healthcare all together. Because that is very literally the official position of Deb Fischer: "old and sick people need to die".

So while they are taking out full page ads praising her she is, very literally, screwing over the very people AARP is supposed to advocate to protect.
