I will take this opportunity to remind everyone how Bill Maher called you out as a crazy leftist lunatic on his Friday show:

I can only wish that I was in your living room when you choked on your Vienna Sausage, as you listened to him read you the riot act for your Politicization of a drug.

Go to minute mark 1:55 and listen as Bill Maher speaks directly to our resident leftist loon Rod Kaufman, aka the Weasel of A-Mart.  wink
The only one "politicizing" ivermectin in this forum is you and some of your fellow cons so stop lying about it. 
I remember you and the other cons on the forum making similar comments about hydroxychloroquine. Looks like were passed that one now and on to ivermectin instead. Figures...

They used to be journalists over at CNN

Posted By Rod Kaufman

The numbers for the networks in question, all of them down substantially:

Given Fox's news penchant for misinforming "opinion commentators" like Hannity and Carlson for their prime time slots, it's no wonder why the Fox fans are suffering the most in the pandemic...

All the other stuff you spewed is only more examples of you a) throwing up straw-men, or b) moving the goalposts, or c) deflecting, distracting, and derailing when someone shows that you are wrong. The facts are that Fox News has never won many serious or prestigious awards for their news coverage, and they likely never will. Why? They never were journalists and never will be journalists. They are, at best, carnival hucksters.
And the carnival hucksters at Fox have been vaccinated and do wear masks in their studios and offices as per Fox policy which essentially mirrors what they rail against while on air. They've gotten untold thousands sick or killed by listening to what they preach while they practice the exact opposite...

They used a fake Dossier that they KNEW was fake, but they put the BS out there anyway.,

Frauds, Hucksters, and Buffoons, appealing to Frauds, hucksters, and buffoons here.  tongue
I listened to CNN and that's not what they said.

My guess is that we're now hovering somewhere around week 80, 81 at this point??   wink
Positivity rates with vaccine and mask mitigation in Ca, for example, : less than 3%, Idaho 18-20%, with the desired positivity rate of 5% or less. That's pretty much the story with the red states. Virtually all above the 5% mark, last time I checked...

GOP Pushes US To Brink Of Default

Well, like Rich points out,  some employees of some companies got a couple hundred bucks in "bonuses". Wow! 
PS: Their CEOs routinely got bonuses as did their execs and senior management and that was before the tax cuts! Of course, due to the pandemic and competition in hiring qualified employees, bonuses are routinely offered that have nothing to do with the corporate tax rates that, of course, never paid for themselves which was a touted selling point by Trump, McConnell and the GOP...

Now go ahead and put up a dozen or more Keynesian Democrat economists to tell us that we will default if they don't raise it, or you can just lie like Joe Biden does all the time.

I'm sure you believe that the $3.5 Trillion (it is actually $5.5 Bil. or more) that the left wants to spend doesn't cost anything right?

Just like the idiots out there such as Jen Psaki, who thinks the rest of us are as stupid as Democrats are when she she says "It won't cost anything".  

You believe that bullshit correct? 

And it doesn't get "Paid down", What makes you think it does?

The money they want to RAISE the debt ceiling by, doesn't even cover the new spending they want to do.  

Why do you think that the National Debt just keeps climbing (to $28 Trillion now)?  
Still waiting for it to trickle down are you?
