Is there any way that we can get the Bishop of WDC to run for President of the USA? Preferably tomorrow?
There may be no billionaire backers, but maybe all the normal people in the US could crowdfund (I'm sure they exist, even if they are in hiding).

In a week where some paranoid Americans are worried that the stars are spying on them, a reminder that even their (former and forthcoming) president promoted some total batshit.
Nearly five years after publication, and after 4,000 retractions, the paper that sparked the use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 has been retracted.
The publisher cites a range of scientific and ethical concerns.

If Trump wants to deport undocumented migrants, they will still need a hearing before an immigration judge.
The next available final hearing date, based on current backlog of 1,478,623 asylum cases pending, is in 2029—after Trump has left office.
They haven’t though this through. Shocking.
