We got each other, and more guns and cars than people.

Seriously the cocaine use led them to this?

Not the gross incompetence and reckless disregard for the health and wellbeing of actual human beings?

Get your priorities in order

Or the brain worm or the eating dead bear and whale carcasses

Of the things he's done, that's pretty low on the list. I'm ok with people doing to themselves whatever they feel like. I draw the line at harming others.

He could eat an entire bear for all I care. Cocaine use isn't victimless but I'm the scale of things is say that a healthcare minister should be judged mainly in his he cares for the health of others.

And in that regard he's mostv easily compared to a serial killer. But no one seems to have a problem with that.

Well they cannot ask him to resign because of his incompetence, because they would argue that incompetence is subjective. But this is a very probable cause for action...

Negligent homicide is a probable cause, objectively too, one would hope.

He's such a POS. Sadly, he isn't going anywhere.
