They had to reach all the way back to the 80s to find one good thing this ghoul did.
Everybody starts with a soul. Here’s evidence she had one 45 years ago? So what
Right, like, why are we writing this kind of piece in 2025? She’s just retiring, calm down. I’ll accept this kind of puff piece when she actually kicks it - at that point, it’ll be worth remembering the good things she did, and remembering her entire arc as a grim warning for the young radicals of today. But she’s just retiring. Let’s not inflate her ego while she’s still alive, and still using the American people for profit.
Yeah, wish she kept up that kind of resistance. Same with Hillary Clinton. First stared fighting the big medical industry in the 90s, but ended up selling out or getting blackmailed or something and threw in with the existing system which is only slightly better due to “Obamacare”/ACA, but still getting worse and worse as insurance and medical facilities get bought up and turned into profit squeezing machines instead of medical care places.
