Trump Seethes at Fox News for “Sidelining” Him — But the Network Is Doing Him a Favor | The Smirking Chimp

And, of course, by tightly controlling Trump’s public image, Fox News is doing its level best to protect him legally. These days, Trump can’t open his mouth without undermining his legal defense in the 4 separate criminal trials he’s facing. Just this week, for instance, he claimed Sidney Powell, the lawyer most closely identified with Trump’s attack on the 2020 election, “WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS” after she took an eleventh-hour plea deal with prosecutors in Georgia. Within minutes, this claim was immediately debunked by journalists posting clips of Trump claiming otherwise in 2020.

Ohio Judge Orders COVID Patient Treated With Ivermectin

Well, this certainly sounds stupid. So how did the wife of a COVID patient convince a judge that a drug used mainly for animals and in studies found to be ineffective at treating COVID be used on her husband against all medical advice?
