Amid all the praises by Democrats for Joe Lieberman who just passed away, we should remember that liberals actually HATED him. Why? Among several reasons is that many liberals blamed Lieberman for causing Al Gore to lose the 2000 election as you can see in these scenes from the film "Recount" about the 2000 Florida recount which ultimately ALL subsequent recounts still showed Gore losing. Oh, and notice how Democrats back then insisted on verifying the validity of mail-in ballots? They also insisted on the use of paper over electronic ballots in the wake of that election. My how times have changed!
p.s. And 20 years ago, questioning election results as "Recount" did was NOT considered a criminal activity.
The HCQ/Ivermectin kerfuffle started in spring or summer 2020. How do you get around the anachronism with an event that happened two years afterward? Your conspiracy theory simply cannot work. Time machines are a century-old H. G. Wells fiction, not a bogey-Pfizer invention.

The time is moving too quickly for Trump...
Just 18 days until his jury appointment. It will be here too soon for him.
On top of that, his $175 million bond is rapidly approaching.
How can he delay his trial this time? Call in sick? He is about to run out of delays and connections.
For a grifter of his stature, selling Bibles would be embarrassing to most con-men, but wherever he can scrape up a dollar is alright with him.
They say "April is the cruelest month". The Grifter is about to find out.

... plans to fire 70,000 government workers in the coming months, in what Bloomberg called "one of the clearest signs yet of how the libertarian’s chainsaw-style approach intends to slash the swollen state."
Beyond the job cuts, Milei also boasted at an event on Tuesday that he has frozen public works, cut off some funding to provincial governments and terminated more than 200,000 social welfare plans, which he labeled as corrupt, all as part of his strategy to reach a fiscal balance at any cost this year.
