I think the reporting that trump gave covid testing stuff to putin is not quite emphasizing trump didn’t give that ratfuck twizzler nose sticks, he gave him lab machines US hospitals were begging for to test their clinical staff So they would have a chance at not dying

There are arguments to be made in favour of keeping the leader of the world's second largest nuclear state alive, even at the cost of American lives, at a time when the future of the world is hanging in the balance. The real issue I see is doing it while spreading disinfo to the general population.

And it wasn't like those machines were to help Russian citizens! Putin was terrified of getting COVID, those machines were for his personal use.

I certainly didn't get that from the headlines or discourse. (To be fair, I didn't read the story -- that's on me).

Seriously, the headlines make it sounds like sent nose swabs--adding "devices" or "equipment" to the headline is necessary for clarity. Strange how headlines of stories bad for Trump are so consistently softened 🤔

Yeah, I feel like a lot of people think they are like the ones you see in the drug store. They are not

Was this before or after he sent broken ventilators to California?

It’s a tough sell because I take it on authority at work the virus isn’t real. :P

I'm curious about the hundreds of people who knew this was happening at the time. Let's assemble a list and ask them about the details.

You see the Woodward shit about trying to Nuke Tehran and China? I hate these book writing chodes.
