I only wish my medical care was half as good as that he receives at the VA. They don't have fancy offices with fountains and manicured greenery, but they have warm people who greet you by name (including me as a spouse) and hold the elevator door open for you.

When Mr. pig was having issues with PTSD during the Iraq War (which they told us was staggering in volume), they offered couples therapy so I could understand what he was experiencing. The only downside was sitting in the waiting room being stared down by a mounted photo of #43.

Whenever you think Dotard can't be more deplorable, he proves you wrong.
