I goggled Todger Strunk and cannot find his "real" name so maybe he was actually called Todger from birth.
I nearly didn't go out with my (now) DH when he wrote down his name and phone number for me when we first met (pre mobiles) cos he has a slightly funny surname. Poor old Todger would have got far!

HHS Secretary Alex Azar has announced that the department will withhold $200 million in Medicaid funding from California in the first quarter of 2021 due to the state's requirement that state insurance companies provide abortion insurance coverage t.co/fX15XKSTNC

Interestingly if you view your healthcare in the right way, it becomes a matter of national security

As usual a fucktonne of sense here:

Yeah, this was on our local news this morning.

California has the 5th largest economy in the world. A lawsuit will be filed I'm sure, but we can bide our time until 21Jan when Scrotus and Azar will be nothing but bad memories.

It's just another ploy to pander to Scrotus' extremist base and to make things difficult for Biden's first months in office.

California has the 5th largest economy in the world.

Has anyone told the UK ?

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 17/12/2020 18:16

In countries, India has overtaken the UK, and is now 5th; UK is 6th.

Not sure where California fits in that, but I think it's behind India, in front of UK.

'BREAKING: Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance is planning to form a “special task force” just to investigate President Donald Trump’s tax documents and business dealings once he leaves office in January.'

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/dec/17/deb-haaland-joe-biden-interior-secretary

'Joe Biden has chosen lawmaker Deb Haaland as interior secretary and will nominate regulator Michael Regan to head the Environmental Protection Agency, in two diverse and influential picks to handle crucial issues such as public lands, pollution and the climate crisis, according to leading media outlets.

Haaland, a progressive Democratic congresswoman from New Mexico since 2019, would be the first Native American cabinet secretary and one of the first Native Americans ever to serve in a US cabinet. The department’s jurisdiction covers tribal lands and vast tracts of protected American wilderness, including jewels such as Yellowstone and Yosemite national parks.'

Recently pardoned "General" Flynn spouting off about martial law not being that unusual and recommending Trump sends the military to swing states to order a rerun of the election.
Yeah like elections run under a military clamp are free and fair...

Anniegetyourgun · 18/12/2020 05:53

Flynn should have gone straight from jail to a secure mental unit by the sounds of things. That is completely unhinged.

Recount of votes in Antrim County, Michigan prove conspiracy theory around Dominion voting machines false.
