In which Ron Johnson, an idiot, is dunked on by Chinese media for thinking that the US has 30K troops stationed in Taiwan, so he deletes the tweet and doesn't say anything about it.

Why are these people so stupid?

Wrong John; it's John Cornyn, not Ron Johnson.

It's like John Cornyn (not Ron Johnson) had a purpose of trying to egg on China into attacking Taiwan. He certainly got their attention.

This tweet is anti-American to its core. This is not likely to be the event that tips US-Chinese relations into a war scenario. But it's a good start.

This is not stupid. This is malicious.

Damnit, I too am an idiot. Albeit a lesser idiot. Ron Johnson, John Cornyn, too many Johns!

I doubt this affects Chinese-US relations beyond simply handing more propaganda that the U.S. government is inept and laughable. They won't change their policies based on a single tweet.

Ya'llQaeda and the Taliban have more in common than they have differences

What even are the differences, apart from a book cover?

Agreed. But it's certainly a step forward in a bad direction. And it is very consistent with other activities that the US has initiated that are highly aggressive and inflammatory towards China.

They're about the same intellect-wise.

Abbott test positive for covid

Dude's probably already gotten vaccinated and will be fine. Then when he recovers he'll use not being 'that sick' as a rallying cry against future COVID precautions and continuing to push vaccine misinformation.

Oh he has he just doesn't really make that a big point when pushing misinformation

Yup; Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has tested positive for COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated

Abbott will isolate himself in the governor's mansion, where he will continue to be tested daily. He is said to be receiving Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment.

If he's been vaxxed and has no symptoms then why is he getting that expensive treatment that most people have no access too?

That's made from stem cells from aborted fetuses. Pro-life... until its no longer convenient.

heartbeat bill, to safe my life. pro-life for thee means something different for me.

A suggestion: You should start reporting the 7-day totals (not just averages) and the increase thereof, rather than the daily totals. This will offset the backfill buggery because each day it will pull ALL the increases that have been added to the past week. Then you also wouldn't need to compare the daily total to a week ago.

You'd have to reference your previous post each day, because that's the only place the data will persist, but it might make for a cleaner picture.

The way I do it is easiest for me, both because I've done it for so long that I can throw it together relatively quickly and because I find it easier to see how things are trending by comparing week-to-week. But if you want to post it your way it wouldn't offend me in the least. Besides, doing it my way gives me an excuse not to post for Saturday and Sunday. :P

Wellllll according to Regeneron's spokeperson that's not true:

In a statement to NBC News, Regeneron spokesperson Alexandra Bowie said that the company used cells from a cell line called HEK293T. These cells date back to the 1970s and were originally taken from kidney cells in donated fetal tissue. Since then, the cells have become commonplace in research labs, thanks in part to the fact that they can replicate indefinitely, ensuring they never run out. Because of this, the cells are considered “immortalized.”

“HEK293T wasn’t used in any other way, and fetal tissue was not used in this research,” Bowie said. “We did not use human stem cells or human embryonic stem cells in the development of” the monoclonal antibody cocktail.

So there's probably plenty of wiggle room for them to justify it to themselves and their cult.

Let's be honest though, the cult is made up of uneducated morons, they don't even know what stem cells even are. Hell they don't even understand what covid is, "it's just a flu."

And for these so called "Pro-Life" people, that whine about abortion, they sure do love to use aborted fetal tissue to stay alive. This is the same shit that Trump used that wasn't FDA approved, and I believe still isn't, when Trump caught it.

TBF the shits that whine about abortions also have their mistresses aborted in "secret", so eh
