Severely underrated show, incredibly funny and a great commentary on the healthcare system. Bonus, Mike Judge voices some of the characters.

CNN’s complete lack of journalistic integrity will be the end of the network. The story of the year is the fat orange fascist and the South African N*zi in the Oval Office… And these mfs send me a notification about and article asking if I’m brushing correctly 🤨
