@Dussyme Neither. Both are wrong. 15 is correct based on order of operations.

Went to the doctor yesterday
My wife made the appointment
She also filled out the pre-visit forms online
All of them
She said "did you go alone"
I said "yes"
My analyst drove separately
When I arrived the receptionist handed me a clipboard
With a Bic pen
Attached to a string
Like I was going to steal it
The form asked for everything my wife already submitted online
Name
Date of birth
Address
Insurance
I filled it out again
Handed it back
My analyst was already at the counter
He leaned over the receptionist's screen
Looked at it for three seconds
Then looked at me
He said "boss man, the headers have gridlines on"
She minimized the window
He sat down
She said "have a seat, we'll call you shortly"
I sat down at 2:14pm
At 2:31 she handed my clipboard to another woman
Who sat down at a computer eight feet away
And typed everything I just wrote into the screen
At 2:38 she came back
Said she couldn't read one letter of my address
An address they've had on file since 2022
An address my wife typed into their portal three days ago
I spelled it out loud
In a waiting room full of strangers
Then sat back down
My analyst had his laptop open
I glanced at his screen
He was on Zillow
Looking up my home address
The one I just spelled out loud
He closed the laptop
At 2:51 a nurse called my name
Mispronounced it
Four years
She walked us to a room
She looked at my analyst
She said "family member?"
I said "closest thing I have"
She didn't ask follow-up questions
She took my blood pressure
Wrote it on a piece of paper
Then typed it into a computer
Then wrote it on another piece of paper
Three records of the same number
My analyst looked at me
I looked at him
We didn't say anything
We didn't have to
She said "the doctor will be right in"
She left at 2:54
My analyst opened his laptop
Built a model
I said "for what"
He said "the wait time"
He projected the doctor would arrive at 3:38
The doctor came in at 3:41
Three minutes off
He was disappointed in himself
87 minutes total in the building
He said "so what brings you in today"
I told him
He looked at his chart
My analyst said "you have his date of birth wrong"
The doctor looked at him
Then looked at me
I said "he's right"
The doctor corrected it
My analyst said "the insurance ID is also off by one digit"
The doctor put his pen down
He said "and you are?"
I said "he's with me"
The doctor continued
He said "let's keep an eye on it"
That's what he said last year
He said "alright, now the fun part"
He said "I'm going to need you to drop the cargo shorts"
I looked at my analyst
My analyst looked at me
He covered his eyes
The appointment lasted four minutes
I waited 87 minutes for a four-minute appointment
It's 2026
We can launch a rocket into space and land it vertically on the exact square foot it left from
But my doctor's office is using a string to protect a Bic pen
I texted my wife from the parking lot
She said "how'd it go"
I said "they lost my address again"
She said "I submitted it online three days ago"
I said "I know"
She said "did you bring him"
I didn't answer
She said "I'm switching doctors"
First time we've agreed on anything all week
Make common sense common again
Plz fix. Thx.

@EricLDaugh Dems should show all of the stand alone bills to fund TSA and others repugnantcans voted down because they want to cheat in elections.
English

🚨 BREAKING: Speaker Johnson reveals GENIUS idea, put up a poster of the Congressional vote tally in airports nationwide showing Democrats DEFUNDED TSA and DHS
Yes! Do this! 🔥
"That vote tally should be blown up, put at poster size in EVERY AIRPORT TERMINAL. So they can SEE who voted to keep those lines at TSA winding around the airports and to endanger everybody's lives!"
English

@brianralston @EricLDaugh It's obvious to anyone that can read that this is a voter suppression bill and a poll tax. You just know that repugnantcans can't win without disenfranchising millions and cheating. It's a shame you can't accept that. But im done wasting my time arguing with a moron
English

🚨 HOLY CRAP! As many as 29 STATES may have their laws overturned after the Supreme Court indicated they will rule against allowing mail-in ballots to come in after Election Day
This would be huge, and could be a 6-3 ruling 🔥
JUSTICE ALITO: "Independence DAY, birthDAY, and Election DAY. They are all particular DAYS. So if we start with that, if I have nothing more to look at than the phrase 'Election Day,' I think this is the DAY in which everything is going to take place." 🫳🎤

@StarWarsDaily_ For all the hype it recieved, I expected better
English

@brianralston @EricLDaugh No you read shit. You are lying.
English

@RdSull @EricLDaugh False. I went through all of that. SCOTUS already decided. It is not a poll tax. Asked and answered.
English

@brianralston @EricLDaugh Read the bill. Thats not what the bill is about nor are they simply asking for an ID. As a matter of fact, dems put a bill forward that asked for ID and repugnantcans voted in down. It is a voter suppression bill that results in a poll poll tax.
English

False. SCOTUS already decided in 2008 that requiring gov’t ID to prove identity to vote in an election was a “reasonable” requirement and not a poll tax and did not disenfranchise voters despite its cost and time requirements to obtain.
For example. Another constitutional right comparison. If various gun laws (license, fees, restrictions) are reasonable and do not, despite 2nd amendment constitutional protections, violate constitutional rights there, voter protection laws and requirements can also be enacted and do not necessarily violate constitutional voter rights either.
It is already illegal to vote if one is a non-citizen. One might argue non-citizens have some constitutional rights afforded to them (due process) regardless of citizenship status but voting is not one of them. So there are already some constitutional citizenship restrictions around voting. Reasonable laws about enforcement and proving citizenship status are not automatically a violation of one’s voting rights. They are simply reasonable laws requiring proof of an already enacted requirement around voter eligibility.
At the end of the day…SCOTUS can not decide until there is a law and then a case challenging that law that comes by their docket. This is all designed to do just that. They know someone will sue over it once enacted. And I firmly believe this SCOTUS will most likely decide in the affirmative on both federal voter ID and a citizenship status proof to register.

@RogerJStoneJr Yes, because the report indicated you're actions warranted more serious investigation and there is no way you would cooperate.
English

Did my wife and I deserve the 6 am raid on our home by 29 heavily armed FBI Agents complete with CNN camera crew only to learn 18 months later the Mueller hid exculpatory evidence that proved I had committed no crime?
You are nothing but a pompous ass kisser devoid any particular talent or understanding of politics
English

@baseballchickie The should also induct some who were jobbers (Brooklyn Brawler, etc....)if they haven't already. Without them the big stars wouldn't have been big stars.
English

@brianralston @EricLDaugh And those laws will disenfranchise voters. The magat repugnantcans are the ones hanging their argument on something obscure from the 1800s. Try reading a book.
English

@RdSull @EricLDaugh We are not talking about the past. We are talking about changing federal law guidelines for federal elections in the future. Catch up.

@midwestern_ope People can't seem to navigate 4 way stops either, so whats the difference.

@princessKimK2 @princess_kim_k Ranges from $3.73-$4.20 in Northwest Indiana

I post this yesterday and only 342 people saw my post-
Gas is 4 in my state-
How much is it by you?

The price of gas has jumped in Lansing:

@brianralston @EricLDaugh And mail in voting has been done within federal law since the very beginning.
English

@RdSull @EricLDaugh There are state and then Federal elections. Federal elections are run by the states WITHIN federal law.

@BasedMikeLee Read the bill. You are lying. Everyone in Indiana knows you're lying.
