Stick to your guns!!! Do not touch our healthcare, you fucking Nazis!!!

I'm rewatching All The President's Men. Smoke is coming out of my ears. Looking back I can see how this was "kid's stuff" compared to the shit we are living through now.



Edit:
This sent me on the hunt for the info I remember about Sally Quinn (Ben Bradlee's wife; Washington Post editor) who was able to put hexes on people and they worked! She never gave details about the specifics about the hexes, which I was hoping to find so I could do it myself to tRump. I read about this in 2017 and never forgot it. Damn!!!
