1. DEAR RUSSIA,
You need to release that Golden Showers video, right now!
Why do you think Trump has proposed all those increases to the budgets of the USA military and nuclear arsenal? Whom do you think Trump intends to fight in his upcoming war? It is obvious that Russia is the target.
As it stands now, if the the USA really wanted to fight a war utilizing its current military, we could knock the snot out of Iran, Iraq, India, China, North Korea, Germany, Japan, France. The only country that could stand up to the USA would be Russia. So, when Trump rants about a better and more modern military, you better believe that the POTUS sociopath is fixated on Russia.
Yet, Russia could stop crazy Trump and prevent the upcoming carnage by releasing one little pee pee tape.
You would cause Trump to be impeached and create a Constitutional crisis in the USA from which the Republican Party might never recover. Please remember that the Republicans are your real enemies, not the Democrats. Democrats are more fun, and more wishy washy, and more willing to drink your Vodka.
Seriously, you really picked the wrong horse in this race. The Republicans would love to bomb you. The GOP wants to go back in time and resurrect the Cold War. They miss having a real enemy. They want war. By helping Trump win the election, you have set in motion the progression of events that could bring mass destruction upon yourself.
It is not too late. At the earliest possible hour you must release the Golden Shower.
Thank you for your consideration.
2. SOMETHING GOOD TRUMP SHOULD DO BEFORE HE IS IMPEACHED
We need to stop suing the doctors who are trying to keep us alive!
It is not about saving money. It is not about politics. It is just the right thing to do.
The medical malpractice court system creates an inherent conflict with our doctors, who are some of the most brilliant people in our country, and who are best situated to help us solve our health care problems. We need to stop making doctors our enemy.
Negligence claims against health care providers should be eliminated, for the sake of everyone, for sake of justice. The negligence standard for suing our doctors is just too low. A doctor can be sued despite acting in good faith, and despite heroic efforts to save your life.
The legal standard should be recklessness. Unless a doctor acted in reckless disregard toward your safety and/or reckless disregard toward the health care standards of care, then that doctor should not be sued.
This is the law I want:
“Recognizing that all licensed health care providers in these United States are Good Samaritans and provide great benefit to our society, no licensed health care provider in these United States and its territories may be sued for any type of medical malpractice claim unless the alleged wrongful conduct might be reckless or intentional. The torts of medical negligence and gross medical negligence are hereby banned in all courts of these United States.”

3. SOMETHING ELSE TRUMP SHOULD DO BEFORE HE IS IMPEACHED
Eliminate Daylight Savings time. It is just stupid to pretend we can save daylight.
MH’s guest commentator couldn’t be more right about the need for release of the Golden Showers video that we all know exists (what other rational explanation is there for Trump’s solicitousness to the Ruskies than that they have something over on him?). The video needs to be released before something really bad happens.
But MH’s guest commentator couldn’t be more wrong about giving doctors a pass on the negligence standard that is the base of our entire judeo-christian legal system. Really? Exempt doctors because they are “good samaritans”? The writer appears to be living in the age where physicians are all Marcus Welbys. Most doctors I know theses days are just like the rest of us: hard working, trying to do the right thing, and sometimes we fall below the standard of care and cause damage. Who gets the next pass? Oh, yeah, that’s right, at least in Arizona, that pass (exemption from liability) has already been doled out to baseball parks that don’t put up a net or other protection for fans from balls and thrown/broken bats. They are such good samaritans, too, humbly stopping their more productive lives to deliver unto us life saving opportunities for long afternoon naps, hot dogs and beer, while consuming America’s Pastime. Past Time. See below.
And MH’s guest commentator is right on time, too. It can’t be saved. It can be wasted, however.
