That’s my senator!

(Tanis lives in Oregon. She gives not one fuck about her location and whether it relates to other candidates representing her. She is not having of fucks, she is fuckless.)

    Patricia Tannis killed someone for an office chair.

    Tanis Nikana is at least twice that sane. If that can be quantified.

    Damn, true tho. Also it's Michigan, a lot of michiganders know some Arab-Americans. This is like someone running for a New York office being criticized for being named Moses Goldstein. It's hard to find Arab names scary when you know an Ahmad and he's a chill dude

    Most Arab and Middle Eastern peoples are, in my experience, pretty damn good people.

    But really that applies to everyone. Most people from most places are pretty damn good people.

    In the southern half, maybe. The southeast, more likely. The northern half - don't count on it. Looking at the polling I'll be gobsmacked if he wins any jurisdictions above a line from grand rapids to Saginaw. And there'll be a lot of red on that map below that too.

    Yes, I know land doesn't vote, but there's a lot of combined votes to offset with diminishing populations and plenty of voter suppression in the big SE cities.

    Average americans don't have a doctor they trust with a name like his

    Mainly because average americans can't afford having a doctor

    Shout-out to Mena Abrahim, who I trust not with my own health but with my kids, which is more important than me.

    His name or how he looked (except his resemblance to a good friend of mine) was never of import. He was a good doctor, still is although we are fortunate enough to not see him too much anymore. Which is kinda sad, unless you're a PCP,, you're there for people when they're suffering, and then you disappear off their radar. But when I get a sinus infection, I'll hit him up.

    I learned how to say my Drs name, and everytime I'd call to schedule an appointment the tech would have no idea what I was talking about. I had to call her by her first name.

    I remember kindly the doctor who cared for my kid when they were a baby. I cannot pronounce or spell his name, but he was great.
