Whoa!

"In an unprecedented move, the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday published an editorial written by its editors condemning the Trump administration for its response to the Covid-19 pandemic -- and calling for the current leadership in the United States to be voted out of office."

Antifa plot to kidnap Michigan's Governor Whitmer foiled in Michigan

Trump is still calling the governor names, even yesterday when he knew the arrests happened, and says she should have negotiated with these guys back when he tweeted Liberate Michigan and then all the gun nuts showed up at the capital, one spitting in a policeman's face. Two of the guys indicted were there and were caught on camera being the hard guys they are with their long guns and AK47's and their little neglected dicks.

These guys are pieces of crap. They are uneducated, underemployed, hate their lives, can't attract any women, so they make themselves feel important making big plans to get back at the bitch who closed their gyms and told them to wear a mask. The nerve of that woman in Lansing. 

I guess if it was Antifa and a republican governor it'd be different, huh?
And where's Bill Barr been in all of this? Carrying Trump's message about leftist radical rascals up and down various states and wherever he can find an audience. Meanwhile, not a peep from him on Whitmer...

Listen To Trump Coughing While Calling Hannity

He wants to have a rally on Saturday? Where do I sign up? Don't wear a mask, yell and scream, and if you somehow contract the virus you'll get a free wonder drug/cure at the hospital, and go merrily on your way feeling better than you have in twenty years. 
Not to mention exhorting others to do the same in the spirit of Churchill and FDR...

And he's going to rallies, obviously still sick and shedding virus:

Wow! Hillary's Emails, Again!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Pompeo, with giddy excitement: "Pompeo did not specify exactly which emails he was referring to, though Trump and his allies have long railed against Clinton for keeping official emails with classified information on a personal server."
"Classified information “should have never been there,” Pompeo said Friday in reference to the server, adding that the former Obama Cabinet secretary engaged in “unacceptable behavior.” So, now all should all see classified information! That'll teach her!

Trump Rally Superspreaders!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Now I gotta hand it to the Minnesota health department for doing the impossible, ie contact tracing those infected from a recent Trump rally at a time when the country is experienced 45,000+ new cases PER DAY, but they managed to identify nine Trumptoids who also became Covidtoids in an hour:
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/09/trump-minnesota-rally-coronavirus-cases-428425
Now, the  Commander-In-Chief Covidtoid will be holding a rally in Florida, as well as a 2000 person stand-in event at the WH, to spread camaraderie amongst the ranks. 
I'd like to see Rich, Greg, Darian and Steve at each of those events, preferably in the front row, as I watch on my TV. Remember, masks are optional so I get to see each of you standing shoulder to shoulder railing against the planned-demic (Trumptoid-speak) and wildly cheering the chief Covitoid. Well, how about it?...

The drug Trump says "cured" him of CoVid (edit) was tested using embryonic stem cells (end edit)

There is a fascinating book about the HeLa cell-line called "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," if anyone wants to read more about these cell-lines. HeLa is called HeLa because it derives from the first two letters of Henrietta and Lacks.

Of course, this does beg the pro-life crowd's position, are you ok with this, or do you cherry-pick which abortions you are ok with as long as they benefit you personally or politically?
Don't expect an answer from the proud boys...

No there wasn't any medical benefit:

I assume under Nazi law it was entirely legal, as were other laws justifying the confiscation of property, denying employment positions, etc.

Many atrocities throughout human history fall under the guise of "legal".
No it is not simply an opinion piece. It is a fact check. And I think one has to be off one's rocker to believe "useful information" can be gleaned by insane nazi human experimentation conducted in WW2...
