The charges will have to be dismissed, though, if the evidence doesn’t stand up in court.

As for the pumps, I know a very liberal communist who posts on facebook who has a pump. It’s all I can do not to mention it. Now it’ll be all I can do not to post this story.
Concerning South Carolina, did anyone see the news conference of the sheriff’s press conference in South Carolina about the woman who suffocated her toddlers then put them in a car and drove it into a river? The sheriff said they held her for “non-believability”. Is that a legal charge? They held her for speaking falsities and not speaking truthatudes?

It took a clever bureaucratic “craftsman” to pilfer from the public purse by means of penile pumps!

I hope restitution is a primary part of their penalty. Too many people need help legitimately from Medicare.

As for the pumps, I know a very liberal communist who posts on facebook who has a pump. Its all I can do not to mention it. Two questions:
1. Why do you know this? Are you his butt boy?
2. In what discussion/debate could this fact possibly be germane?Are you intellectually weak?

You know, what’s scary is that there’s no one at Medicare who had even a moment’s concern about writing a check to “Happy Trips”.
