1. LOL, Donny and Jared won't be giving back their cut of that.

2. Because, Of Course They Are!

No reason to have expected Stitt to do anything intelligent.
And, isn't this an admission that their emperor/hero was completely wrong? And, an admission that they were dumb enough to believe a guy with expertise in nothing except self-promotion?

3. Yes, it was utter madness. Maybe they could find those Lupus patients who actually need the drug.

10. the hydroxy madness could be chapter one of the book about the cult of MAGA

The craze over it was textbook irrational behavior displayed by members of a cult

It’s truly depressing.

14. One supporter, Rep Humphrey also wants to establish a Bigfoot hunting season.

Good Lord


In August, Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, promoted hydroxychloroquine as a viable treatment after he had contracted COVID-19.

Though the drug had been widely discredited at that point, Humphrey, who has recently made news for seeking to establish a Bigfoot hunting season in Oklahoma and made waves in 2017 when he referred to pregnant women as “hosts,” encouraged Oklahomans to “take courage and begin treating COVID with Hydroxychloroquine.”
