Trump Has Been Trying To Manipulate Pandemic Statistics to Help His Election Campaign

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 13 seconds ago
First he tried, with some success, to get control of the reporting apparatus. Then he forced FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn to lie about a treatment's efficacy-- Hahn has since apologized to the American people. And his newest stunt is to change the testing guidelines to make himself look better by making it look like there are fewer cases. Unfortunately, that will be deadly. *Washington Post*reporters Amy Goldstein and Lena Sun wrote yesterday that "An abrupt shift this week in government testing guidelines for Americans exposed to the novel coronavirus was directed by the White H... more »

Russia's T-80 Tank: Invaluable Weapon or Outdated Relic?
