Some folks don't do irony. As the author of the tweet states, hard to believe this is real.

But hey, some folks think he's the most ethical and prolife president ever.

some people are fully justified in believing that, and choose to not engage in this thread, asserting convincing, well-articulated arguments to that effect because libs are mean. and dumb.

Speaking of unacceptable; for any other president, this would and should be an impeachable offense:

“Dr. Bright was removed as BARDA Director and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in the midst of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic because his efforts to prioritize science and safety over political expediency and to expose practices that posed a substantial risk to public health and safety, especially as it applied to chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, rankled those in the Administration who wished to continue to push this false narrative.”

Here's a quote from The Daily Beast:
That weekend (early February) Navarro and Bright drafted a memo for the coronavirus task force urging it to direct HHS to take steps to halt the export of N95 masks from the U.S., secure existing doses of a potential therapeutic, Remdesivir, and to fund a “Manhattan Project” for vaccine development, according to the complaint. That project eventually became what’s been dubbed “Operation Warped Speed.”

The WH was very angry with that memo, yet... Remdesivir appears to be effective, and the WH nearly 3 months later used Bright's idea with Operation Warped Speed. So, they've managed to combine unequalled stupidity with their corruption. Give them credit for combining them as well as anyone in US history. Not to mention the amazing lack of foresight in shipping off N95 masks when there was a worldwide shortage.

His whistleblower complaint is replete with allegations of corruption.
But we already know that Republicans don't care about corruption
as long as they are the ones on the receiving end dollar wise.

Imagine being a Trump supporter and handwaving away the substance of every single complaint, whistleblower report and disturbing news article about Trump because everyone is a RINO, a libtard or part of the Deep State.

Trump has legitimately created an alternate reality for ~45% of the country

You should see the Current Affairs board... :nonono:

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

A lot of the problems with that forum could be fixed by banning Trump supporters and having zero tolerance **** posting trolls.

I don't mind Trump supporters posting per se.

I just have a hard time wrapping my mind around all the lying taking place.


We're not talking about opinions. These guys will dispute genuine facts.

I can say for certain that they ban pro-Trump people too. They just happen to have a number of pro-Trump posters who know the rules and are master baiters.

And now you also have a number of GOP pols who are saying that the problem
in meat packing facilities is what the workers do in their off hours, not what happens
in the facilities.

Yup, it's all those dang workers' fault for getting sick when they're off work.

Probably just a coincidence that people of color/immigrants are over-represented
among their workers. I mean these are great jobs right?
