Well, if I'm wrong I'll admit it. I don't trust breitbart so I'll check it out myself.

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

OK, misleading on a technicality. I'm not saying I'm wrong, but fetal stem cells aren't in the final drug.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/regeneron-trump-covid-aborted-fetal-tissue/

From the article:

"But the way in which the antibody cocktail was developed is at odds with the Trump administration's position on research using fetal cells. According to a Regeneron spokesperson, the drug's potency was tested in a lab using HEK 293T cells. That cell line was originally derived from the kidney tissue of a fetus aborted in the Netherlands in the 1970s. The cells "were used in testing the antibody candidates' ability to neutralize the virus" and helped researchers "determine the 'best' two antibodies, which now make up the REGN-COV2 cocktail," the spokesperson said. 

There is no fetal tissue present in the final product.

Remdesivir, an antiviral drug Mr. Trump received, also was tested using the HEK 293T cells.

Last year, the Trump administration said it would no longer support long-standing funding for medical research by government scientists using human fetal tissue, a move that countered advice from physicians and researchers. The decision was seen as a major victory for anti-abortion rights groups.

Because the fetal cells used in developing Regeneron's antibody cocktail were originally derived from an abortion prior to the funding ban, a White House official told CBS News on Thursday that the therapeutic wasn't in violation of the administration's new policy."

Well, ain't that convenient.

Damn, having to do homework on a saturday night. And I'm all for stem cell research. If the cells are available for them to help others,at least that's somehing good to come from an abortion.

Trump Tweets Today On New Stimulus Deal...

OK, it was written before impeachment and covid. We'll have to wait and see if he gets lucky or not, won't we?

"Instead, the most important potential obstacle to reversing course on prosecuting the president is the statute of limitations, which precludes the prosecution of offenses after a certain amount of time has elapsed. If Trump left office in January 2021, the five-year statute of limitations applicable to the crimes in question will not have expired on any conduct that occurred after January 2016. That means that the president could still be prosecuted for potential crimes committed in the scheme to commit and conceal campaign finance violations or the president’s obstruction of the Russia investigation."

That crime for one. Remember Stormy Daniels? Michael Cohen? Oh, and that shitbag lawyer of the porn star? Oh yeah, Trump was sleeping with the porn star while his wife was home with a one year old. What a guy.

Ok, dunce, listen slowly and carefully. They used fetal stem cells to test trumps cocktail of drugs. Are you for or against abortion, or only when it serve your, or the presidents, purposes. BTW- I have a new favorite clip for you guys.

No problem, the fact that you are quite the dreadful man with no redeeming qualities is well known.
