I guess [this belongs here](https://www.mediamatters.org/one-america-news-network/oan-conspiracy-theory-links-covid-19-population-control-bill-gates-george) because the **O** range **A** gent **N** uttery channel is Individual-ONE’s fave. _… intelligence agencies are continuing a probe into the origins of COVID-19 amid mounting evidence of a globalist conspiracy to establish sweeping population control … the remdesivir patent is controlled by mainland China, Bill Gates, and the WHO, while the Clintons may have a stake in it as well. The entire cover-up is allegedly backed by globalist billionaire George Soros … the Clinton Foundation also worked with Unitaid on the $100 million dollar project to study HIV/AIDS in the past. Unitaid also has offices near the Chinese bio-weapons lab in Wuhan, which top Republicans suspect was funded by none other than Dr, Anthony Fauci and the NIH… That was fooling around with this virus. … Despite that, Dr. Fauci gave $3.7 million to the Wuhan laboratory. We paid for it. We paid for the damn virus that’s killing us. … there is concern that the deep state, Democrat cabal, and the Big Pharma are working to derail President Trump’s reelection and force the American people into total submission …_ Apparently the video features the truncated pyramid with the eye above it near the end. There may have been some dogwhistle they failed to blow, for which they deserve a proper dressing-down for incomplete insanity. ---

The trump administration is still RIGHT NOW cutting funding for pandemic research and trying to discredit the reputable and highly respected research that has already been done. I would like to pit **Sage Rat** here also for his earlier assertion that trump did not defund pandemic research. I am on my phone so unable to link at this time. ---

As it is, Trump has been in office for more than three years so surely he’s had enough time to assume responsibility for something? ---

Here in California, I’ve done mail in only for a couple of years now. Maybe I missed it if someone already posted, or maybe it got lost amid Friday’s Flynn kerfuffle. Donny Two-Scoops is apparently furious that California on Friday enacted statewide vote-by-mail for the November election, and he thinks none of those votes should count.

Didn’t Donny just recently vote by mail in a Florida primary? So it was OK a month or so ago? Also, has anybody checked his registration to make sure he’s not still registered in New York? Maybe we should get Kobach to look into that. ---

As it is, Trump has been in office for more than three years so surely he’s had enough time to assume responsibility for something? Trump doesn’t even accept responsibility when he misspeaks: “They sacrifice every day for the furniture … and future … of their children”, let alone accept responsibility for his actions. Shamelessly ducking responsibility and passing the blame is something he literally does daily. Meanwhile his supporters see the whole politics thing as cheering their guy and booing the other guys. They will have no issue with booing, and blaming, Obama and Hillary 7, 8 years into Trump’s presidency. Please let’s not actually see that reality. ---

Like those things we used in school that had 16mm film on big reels? To get the film threaded into it, you had to feed several feet of pale blank film through the tractor rollers. Blank film that was referred to as “leader”. I think that is the definition you are looking for.
