President Biden bragged that he personally called a Pennsylvania hospital emergency room to know “what the situation was” after a friend’s wife failed to receive immediate care because the waiting room was so backed up.

Biden said Thursday he intervened after a “good friend” called him Wednesday night to say he’d rushed his partner to the hospital because she was having trouble breathing and had a high fever.

“They got her into the hospital, but the waiting room was so crowded, things were so backed up, they couldn’t even get her to be seen initially,” Biden said during a speech in Illinois promoting the COVID-19 vaccine.

Partner? I thought it was his wife.

—”RHIP.(Rank has it’s privileges)”

True.

But those who have it, don’t have to announce it.

Most, not all, notice and pay attention.

The, ‘you know who I am’ routine is for those that have no juice.

“Fact checkers” will ALWAYS spin things to make Democrats look good.

So they might say that Biden started the first widespread and successful vaccination program (using their own definition of “widespread and successful”, of course).

Who was clogging up the ER Joe? Probably illegal aliens. That is the reality you are giving us. If he really did this it is shameful.

I suspect any of us would use whatever contacts or influence to help a friend. I know I’ve done it by talking to people hiring by recommending a friend. Somewhere in the back of your mind though, you know you have cut in the line and someone else has been displaced. This however, is a cut in the line that could be critical to someone else. Most of us have enough sense to never ever mention it.

Exactly, which is why I said they are using the ERs as free health clinics. A SCOTUS decision requires ERs to treat everyone who shows up regardless of the ability to pay or citizenship.

“Corrupt Joe has no filter at this stage of his life...”

Good point. I would say his filter has a hole and the hole is getting larger over time. It is a terrible thing to happen to one so corrupt. Sort of a real live version of the movie “Liar, Liar” except he will likely never have the ability to repent and correct.

—”they are using the ERs as free health clinics.”

A nice Labor Day a friend was at a BBQ when his appendix decided to take over.

He goes to his hospital near his house.
Sitting in traffic the pain is getting worse, so he has a beer from the cooler...

The hospital is very busy.
It gets worse, they tell him just a few minutes.

HE SCREAMS GIVE ME A F***ING KNIFE AND I WILL DO IT MYSELF!!!!!!

They put him in restraints.
He doesn’t remember much after that.
