He did say he was not going to stop you from getting vaccines. He's simply going to stop all funding for research, subsidies, and education concerning vaccines until the whole of public health collapses like a house of cards.

Vaccines are the best and sometimes only tool a provider has to prevent diseases of so many kinds. Nearly sixty years of medical science has proven that, but I guess we are going to learn the hard way.

Fruit of the poison tree, if they can prove it.

Most food and ingredients for home consumption are exempt in most states in the USA. Here's some copy pasta (tax free in my jurisdiction).

Of the 45 states with sales tax, 33 states and the District of Columbia do not apply sales tax on groceries, while 12 states charge sales tax on groceries.

Six states: Alabama, Hawaii, Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, levy standard sales tax on grocery food.

Six states: Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia, levy reduced sales tax rates.

Of six states that levy ordinary sales tax rates on groceries, four states: Hawaii, Idaho, and Oklahoma, offer credit to low-income households. 

Mississippi charges the highest sales tax rate on groceries (7%) with no credits. 

Arkansas charges the lowest sales tax rates on groceries (0.125%). 

Only food prepared for off-premises consumption is tax-exempt. 

Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina exempt groceries from state-level sales tax but impose local sales tax on various food items.

Wouldn't they have been a double agent, if they were an FBI informant working in the KGB?

Are you a correct horse battery staple or an incorrect horse battery staple?

My very first thought as well, not enough zoomer speak. Is that even what it is called?

Andy would be the only competitive candidate to put against whatever creature the GOP summons to do Russia's bidding.

Rest assured, it will be someone so. much. worse. The new guy will want to make a name for themselves, as both KY senators have done (Rand Paul is the other one). The pool of prospective candidates is...grim looking. There are no moderate Republicans in Kentucky, except the Governor and he's a Democrat.

That's reheating. It's already cooked.
