Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Candor]

Medical staff in Britain can now refuse treatment to patients who are racist or sexist.

This is the problem with letting the government run everything: they will tax you to death for your "free" service, then tell you what you can and can't do if you want to continue to enjoy your "free" service.

Who could have seen this coming?

Wow...this is chilling.

I wonder if one day some hospitals might refuse to treat anyone who said something in a social media post the hospital doesn't like. Or maybe they see a voter registration card in the patient's wallet, and that person is registered as a Republican, and so the hospital doesn't want to treat the patient.

But such things could never possibly happen...right? Right?

or you could read it and it says non-critical care only.

How hard is it to not be an asshole to the person trying to help you?

Someone wants to call you a raghead faggot to your face, let them go somewhere else then to find medical assistance.

Aren't republicans the ones saying healthcare isn't a right?

Also, it's not like this doesn't already happen in the U.S. Doctors are not forced to see abusive patients.

Well gollie! As long as it's non-critical care only!

It's not like medical professionals take an oath to help the injured, including convicted murderers, rapists, even enemy combatants in war who just minutes before were trying to kill them. Now hurt fee fees means no more medical care for you!

Republicans also believe if you pay for a service you should receive said service, even if someone's fee fees are hurt. Sometimes hurt fee fees have to take a backseat to something else, you know, like someone's actual fucking health.

Great! Then perhaps the UK should move to a private health insurance system like we have so both doctors AND patients have more rights in which patients they see. Glad to see you admit the US has the better system.

A doctor in the complex I go too won't see patients who wear too much perfume/cologne. MERICA!

WELL THAT'S JUST RACIST.

Yes that is exactly what I said. But just like you're an asshole to everyone here, you are probably like that with your doctors and would love to force yourself on them. You dirty rapist.

Trump commuting/pardoning the sentences of the folks yesterday just pisses me off. He's supposed to drain the swamp, not free the swamp rats.

Because I disagree with you, you take it as an insult?

Sounds like you've got a serious case of TDS yourself. You don't recognize this for some reason.

I think you are wrong, and I stated as such. You took it personal. No offense was or is intended.

I'm politically against most of what you say, but it doesn't give me high blood pressure or cause me to rant like you do. I'm not above it all, I'm just saying it's very clear you need to take some deep breaths and relax.
