Was thinking the same thing, I hadn’t heard about Hannity in a long time

But I am not in school anymore so why should I have to pay for that?

Guess who paid for your school while you were in it

Not for the guy at the urinal next to you

This is friendly reminder that the owner of Buc-ee’s is a prolific donor to Republican candidates in Texas

That’s…not a simple mistake. Like…what was the plan after the liver came out? It sounds like the guy legitimately believed it was a spleen…

I’m guessing there were some red flags ignored by the hospital prior to this
