To be clear, George Soros and Bill Gates secretly own the patents and manufacturing for Ivermectin. I read that somewhere, perhaps posted here on the SDMB. 
Or all of the above. With Jimmy Carter thrown in for good measure.
Nonono, its all the fault of that uppity black woman…what’s her name? Harris or something?
History’s greatest monster
Something like this really happened, remember.
Almost immediately after Trump announced the chloroquine / hydroxychloroquine cure, an Arizona couple dosed themselves up with aquarium-grade chloroquine phospate, with sub-optimal results (for certain values of “sub-optimal”). The wife got very sick, and the husband got very dead.
Darwin is a bitch.
The lying con man is fighting the tax return release.
“The Trump legal team’s court filing Wednesday asked a federal judge not only to block Treasury from handing over the tax returns, but also to order the Ways and Means Committee “to end all ongoing examinations” of Trump and his companies.”
Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there!
Aye; that’ll work!
The committee chairman’s request for Trump’s tax returns "bore little resemblance to an effort to investigate how the IRS audits presidents. It asked for the information of only one president, asked for open files for which audits have not been completed, and never asked the IRS for the most relevant information — namely, how it audits presidents,” they said.
(Underlining mine)
I wonder why that could be? Could it possibly be related to the fact that every other president had already made them publicly available?
Are they actually obliged to give a reason for asking for the returns?
I’m no lawyer, but it was my understanding that they did not.
“Albeit disorganized and fantastical, the Complaint’s allegations are extraordinarily serious and, if accepted as true by large numbers of people, are the stuff of which violent insurrections are made,” the judge said.
Neureiter ordered the two lawyers, Gary D. Fielder and Ernest John Walker, to pay the legal fees incurred by people and entities they sued, including Facebook Inc and voting machine company Dominion Voting Systems Inc.
The amount of money the two will need to pay has not yet been determined by Neureiter, who has asked Dominion and Facebook to provide documentation about how much they spent.
There needs to be more of this. Much more.
The judge also needs to put a time frame on payment. Make the suckers cough up the cash within 90 days or go to jail for contempt.
Mike Dunford on Twitter did a brief review of this, and my favorite sentence so far is,
Because the amended “class action” complaint here is clearly the product of force-feeding massive numbers of bats.
He also seems to have a real animus to ducks.
This may be a little beyond mere schadenfreude, even verging on callous and insenstitive, but I’ve been wondering about this, and here’s (presumably) reliable data to support the suspicion I imagine many of us have had:
The “partisan gap” – which continues to widen – holds even after accounting for income, race, and age, as well as population density and the local infection and death rates. According to my calculations, when controlling for the poverty rate and other relevant variables (particularly age and temperature), a one percentage-point increase in the share of a county’s residents over age 12 who were fully vaccinated as of June 9 is associated with a death rate that was 0.05 lower per 100,000 inhabitants during the subsequent 30 days.
To ensure that the results are not distorted by reverse causality, I also performed another calculation, based on the same data. Accounting for variation in the vaccination decision attributable solely to partisan political affinity – and controlling for variables like poverty – I found the difference in the COVID-19 death rate to be 0.04 per 100,000 inhabitants.
I used voting patterns not to target any particular group, but rather to provide a better estimate of vaccine effectiveness on anyone. But I hope that at least some skeptics notice that members of their political “in-group” are dying at a higher rate, and decide to give vaccination a chance. As Rochelle Walensky, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recently observed, “This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
emphasis mine
Count me among the callous and insensitive. While I can muster some sympathy for those who love and care about people who refuse vaccination for non-health reasons, stupidity is — and always has been —in the long run a capital offense.

In this case, they actually cut off their own faces to feed the leopard.
