With Trump's support cratering, will the GOP still try to steal the election for him?

They've been working frantically to suppress the vote anywhere and in any way they can. Now with the country on fire, do they really think he isn't hurting their chances in the down-ballot races?

Are they going to continue their "You can't vote because you looked at me funny" tactics?

Saturday Night Roll Call:

How is everyone doing this weekend?

Friday Night Wine-Buzz.

Ask me anything.

I tell you, I've had it up to here with this shit.

On November 3rd, I'm asking to speak to the country's manager...

One of our patients bought a dozen doughnuts for our clinical team this morning.

He approached me with the box as I was getting out of my car a little while ago. "Here, these are for you guys."

I was a little overwhelmed, and couldn't thank him enough. A homeless person spending what little money he has on such a gesture. I didn't know what to say other than "thank you" many times.

My assistant just got here, and when I told her about the doughnuts, she told me that our friend had helped her yesterday with an unruly patient in the waiting room (I must have been in one of the exam rooms with a patient at the time) who was threatening to get violent. He shooed the guy out of the clinic and told him not to come back. Then today, he buys doughnuts for us.

So this man is on our list of clinic heroes today.

Small wonder I choose our homeless patients over mainstream patients any day...

My lab tech and I just had a laugh over my overly-jargon-filled order:

"Let's get the U/A, then I'll do the DRE, then we'll get a PSA ASAP, OK?"

"Blade Runner" trailer, re-imagined and re-edited as an old-school noir film.

Perfect...

I took about 7.5mg of Chill Indica tincture around 4pm this afternoon.

I've had the munchies all damned evening after that...

The Republicans in the rental down the street are having a big party.

No masks or social distancing.

If that rental ain't haunted now, it may be soon.

No one lives in that house for very long...

Any night owls up?

I'm on call this week. I got eight calls so far today.

It seems some people have nothing better to do with their Memorial Day weekend than ruin my Memorial Day weekend...

Anyway, no point in going to bed if I'm just going to get a call at 1am...

Friday-Night Wine-Buzz. Ask me anything.

Just finished up a stressful week. Gonna chill for a while...

I love you all...
