I'm currently reading the Mueller Report regarding collusion between the Trump Campaign and Russia and the obstruction of justice during the investigation.  Some things that struck me were that the main reasons Trump's inner circle did not (effectively) collude were that they were too incompetent and self-interested.  Trump really was too dumb to accomplish much of anything other than repeatedly stepping on his own dick.  

Now, if all the intelligent and effective right wing nut jobs in Washington unite to use Trump as a useful idiot to carry out their own plans, we really are in trouble.

Judge won't toss lawsuit over ivermectin in Washington County, Arkansas jail

https://www.4029tv.com/article/ivermectin-lawsuit-washington-county-jail/43364780#

"...The case was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union last year against Karas, Karas Correctional Health, former Washington County Sheriff Tim Helder and the Washington County Detention Center.

In a written opinion, Brooks said that Karas began conducting his own research and hypothesized the drug could be an effective treatment for COVID-19.

Karas prescribed ivermectin to two groups of test subjects. The first was composed of people who sought out Karas’ services at his private medical clinic and agreed to take ivermectin as part of an experimental treatment for COVID-19, Brooks noted. The second set was composed of detainees who were incarcerated at the jail.

“The inmates received Dr. Karas’ treatment protocol for COVID-19, but did not know it included Ivermectin,” Brooks wrote. “Dr. Karas and his staff falsely told the inmates the treatment consisted of mere ‘vitamins,’ ‘antibiotics,’ and/or ‘steroids.’ Critically, the inmates had no idea they were part of Dr. Karas’ experiment.”

Welcome to Arkansas, convict!

To be clear:  I am talking about other people's greed, not my own.

I, for one, am getting sick and tired of having my financial future repeatedly derailed by greed.

Fair enough.  I was in grade school, so I don't remember a lot about him.

Scary how much American politics have polarized over the last decade.

Why?

I honestly believe it began with Rush Limbaugh.

I particularly liked her choice of an old costume from "Cats" to complete the effect. What a joke.

Was that what that was?  I thought it was a 1970's pimp costume.

Thankfully this was balanced out in the 70s with Harold and Maude.

That was a great movie.

You need to put "Deeper" on the front of your thread title.

How about stoning?

I just got back on Twitter for the first time in 3 years.  What a shit show.

Zero side effects for me.  I was looking forward to an evening of laying on the couch under a blanket to watch TV.  No such luck.

actually they are far more effective than traditional anti depressants. But it doesn't mean recreational use is healthy.

Doesn't mean it's not healthy. 

Good luck!  What kind of van?

Both the United States and Russia produce more barrels of oil every day than Saudi Arabia.

I don't think he'll care.

A bit of good news:

Almost a million EVs were sold in June alone worldwide.  That is about a million more people who won't have to pay for gas - and a million fewer tanks that have to be filled, thus reducing demand (and therefore prices.)

I got a buddy that was an early adopter of hybrid vehicles.  He was also a real gearhead that loved sports cars.  I asked him why he bought a Prius and he said it was that he hated Saudi Arabia and there was no better way to make them irrelevant.

The immigrants I know adhere to "American Values," particularly American family values, more than a lot of Americans I know.

That's OK, as long as he's a useful idiot.

Yeah, but you can drive on the beaches.

Many of them own businesses.

Sounds good.  Thanks, Baks!

What are the current job hunting boards in use?  The last time I was looking for a job it was Monster.com.  What's the latest?

Amazing!

So he reeled in players from both sides, BFD.  Does that surprise anyone?  I don't think anyone here on the left is making any claims to the inherent virtue of the Democrat party.
