Wow, that thing has really gone off the deep end today...



In the last ten minutes Donald Trump has said that all inspector generals should be fired because "they may be Obama people," revealed that he is taking hydroxychloroquine and that the doctors who warn against it should be ignored because they are probably Democrats

You have to think at least some of the MAGAts are going to think it's okay to do this since their glorious leader does. I hate to see people suffer, and I suspect death by hydroxychloroquine isn't it pretty.

Mon May 18, 2020, 08:16 PM

problems and can cause heart attacks.

But there are people who take it regularly for disorders like lupus. So it is considered a safe drug, approved by the FDA for certain disorders. I think it's safe to assume that Genocide Don had his heart function thoroughly tested before starting this med (if he really is taking it) and is being monitored closely.

It is true that some medical people working on the front lines are experimentally taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative.

So, if he really is taking this drug, he is surely being monitored, and possibly might be protected.

Disappointing, I know. I had my hopes up for a while, too.

Like I read from another post, I think it's likely that his doctor is slipping him a placebo. No doctor wants to be the one that offs the orange one... well maybe some doctors 😉

So if he really is taking the drug, maybe there is still hope for the nation and the world.

What doctor would take the risk of offing the POTUS?

It can be a risky drug, especially for someone with Tweety's poot diet, lack of exercise, abuse of drugs, and age.

So he might be getting a placebo. OTOH, if Tweety gets sick, a doc giving a placebo could be blamed (and sued by the family) for not providing protection.

Not a good position to be in.

This is not normal. He cannot have only Trump supporters in the government. As if everyone that is a Democrat or voted for Obama is not capable of treating him fairly. They had to vote for him and grovel on their knees and say nice things about him. Otherwise, they are an enemy!

He is an Authoritarian. The Fedrul Gubmint is being purged of anyone but Apparatchiks.

It will take the Biden Admin quite a while to purge them out and restore a functioning bureaucracy - 2 years, I'd wager. Particularly with a GOP-led Senate that refuses to confirm Biden nominees (which is how McConnell will play it if he's returned as Majority Leader).

The GOP must be utterly rejected in a landslide.
