So when anyone defends her in any way, what they are saying is that real world victims of medical disinformation don’t matter.
It’s all just a game to these pundits.
So basically this is Iranian Hostage Crisis 2.0, just with a 9-month delay in the payoff for no particular reason.

vought's view is that the president is an elected dictator and lo and behold he is seizing outright the power of the purse

Trump’s first-term foreign policy was riddled with one failure after another. Almost everything he attempted either fizzled out or blew up in his face. Don’t let this garbage revisionism stand.

When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Here is is, from Bryan Stevenson @eji.org.
What's wrong with "heroic history?"
"It’s like saying, 'I’m going to the doctor, but I’ve already instructed my doctor, Don’t give me any bad news' ... if you don’t want to be sick... you have to be willing to hear the truth of your condition."
[gift link]:
Just to be absolutely clear:
The President of the United States has absolutely no power to “take away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person.
And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.
US conservatives under Obama would sometimes wistfully post training footage of Russian special forces, like "look at what the real manly countries are doing instead of our woke baby military" and then all those VDV guys got annihilated within the first 3 days of the Ukraine invasion

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
