He tweeted that Debbie Wasserman schultz was overrated saying the Democratic Convention is cracking up, and he said Bernie Sanders had no energy left. He seems to be quite pleased with his own speech, though, from last week. He posted a video with an applauseometer saying there were 24 minutes of pure cheering. The only thing that some people said, it was a little dark, it was a little bit tough. Did you think it was a little dark . No, i thought it was very optimistic. To me it was an optimistic speech.

I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . I spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. But eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you.

He began to get violent. He tried to throw a few punches at me, but he was too far to even come close to hitting me. He slipped and busted his face on the floor.
