After we heard over and over from Republicans during the impeachment about what a hoax Putin's pro-Trump interference in the 2016 election was, now they suddenly find out that it wasn't a hoax. Better late than never, I guess. It won't matter to anyone but historians at this point.
Quote:
The intelligence community’s initial January 2017 assessment of Moscow’s influence campaign included “specific intelligence reporting to support the assessment that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and the Russian government demonstrated a preference for candidate Trump,” the committee’s report says. The panel also found “specific intelligence” to support the conclusion that Putin “approved and directed aspects” of the Kremlin’s interference efforts.
Senators and committee aides examined everything from the sources and methods used for the intelligence-gathering, to the Kremlin’s actions itself. The 158-page report is heavily redacted, with dozens of pages blacked out entirely. But its final conclusions were unambiguous.
“The committee found no reason to dispute the intelligence community’s conclusions,” Burr said in a statement, adding that the intelligence community’s conclusions reflect “strong tradecraft” and “sound analytical reasoning.”

Wow Trump just suggested getting rid of coronavirus by bringing "light inside the body" ... "either through the skin or in some other way" or using disinfectant: "is there a way you can do something like that by injection or some other way."
Holy fuck. It's like Seymour Lessans is Donald and peacegirl is Vanky.

Senate Majority Leader recommends that the States go into bankruptcy as a means to combat the Covid-19.

“I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning,” the president said during his daily Covid-19 briefing. A senior health official, under questioning from reporters, later said federal laboratories are not considering or trying to develop such a treatment option.
I feel sad for the official who had to answer the follow ups.
God, imagine the emotional histrionics we'd be suffering through right now. The horror of President Karen demanding to talk to Covid's Manager. The wretched sub-subsistent lifestyle to which we'd all be commanded to "enjoy."
But, at least her emails would be fun to read through, right?
Sweet immerciful Baldur there literally is no bottom is there. IS THERE.

It's not so bad. He'll only be fired, not commit suicide.
Imagine what's going through his head when he pulls things out of his ass like that.
He thinks that somehow, he's going to solve the problem that the all the experts working on it can't. That he's going to personally come up with the solution that nobody else thought of yet.
A reminder to all Americans- PLEASE always talk to your health provider first before administering any treatment/ medication to yourself or a loved one.
Your safety is paramount, and doctors and nurses are have years of training to recommend what’s safe and effective.

Since the start of the pandemic, Genesis II has been marketing MMS as a cure to coronavirus. It advises users, including children, to mix three to six drops of bleach in water and drink it.
21 USC §§331, 333, 352 & 21 CFR §1040.20(e)(2)(ii) make it a federal crime to sell an ultraviolet lamp without warnings that the instructions should be followed to avoid potential injury.
As a water plant operator that mixes it maybe 5 times stronger than the standard 1ppm, and if you drink it immediately might be borderline dangerous. But in small containers probably a lot oxidizes before you get to drink it.
Mainstream media: Trump suggested that injecting yourself with household cleaners could help fight off coronavirus
Breitbart: Liars! A proper analysis, guided by Gadamerian hermeneutics, reveals that he actually meant that time progresses, reality is finite, bleach is all of us
