good gawds. This jerk is out free ==and still killing folks who believe his lies.




@RonFilipkowski
Michael Flynn said today that covid was a conspiracy to control the American people and divert attention away from stealing the election. He said it is not a problem in the rest of world, and he doesn’t worry about it because he has been taking hydroxychloroquin for 30 years.

And I am coming to the conclusion that Qanon and it's effed up cult is starting to lose the craz craz conspiracies bullshit and that is why the initiating of voting suppression and other undemocratic rules and laws are going into effect wherein they are betting on their RW judges to uphold.

Republicans never were the party of morals, laws and patriotism.

around the world about their cases of this "not a problem" illness and their death rates - Italy, UK, France, Brazil, India......

All of them scheming, of course, to help American Dems steal an election.

President Obama knew the deal on him and dumped him and advise trump not to appoint him, but of course that's the first thing the orange idiot did.

Assuming Flynn actually believes his own statements, the man is clearly delusional. At any other time in American history, such insane nonsense coming from a former National Security Advisor would be major news story with a focus on his state of mind.

But in the age of Trumpism and the Big Lie embraced by millions and promoted by a major political party, this kind of insanity has become common political rhetoric.

while in the military he was illegally taking a prescription drug (as he does not suffer from any of the ailments associated with the drug)
That's a violation of the UCMJ.
Taking over-the-counter pain medication is not unauthorized (in the army), but taking a prescription drug that was not authorized by a military physician... that's a NO-NO
And if he's still doing so, he can still get into trouble

Of course Trump took him right back as National Security Advisor, the worst possible selection anyone could have made. Even Trump was compelled to give him the boot within a month after Flynn lied about his Russian contacts. And of course there is that felony conviction. With those "credentials", it appears that many "journalists" these days are falling all over one another to help disseminate Flynn's explanation of what the COVID fuss is really all about!

This is an extension of the QAnon stuff, which he's also happy to use; he wants an outraged mob, that thinks Democrats, scientists, hell, even rational Republicans who do what they can to fight covid, or to run fair elections, are all supremely evil, that want to drink children's adrenochrome or kill the world's economy because they hated Trump.

Whether Flynn is doing this of his own accord, or because Putin has told him to, I don't know. But the purpose of it is to inflame mobs.
