With that dead rat sitting on top his head that he calls hair, I’d suspect several virus kinds and types live up there. All probably much worse than Covid 19.

Not really, the way I interpret what he is saying is not that the pandemic itself is a hoax - it's that governments will abuse it as a means to take further rights away from us in the name of "helping us" over the long-term.

He isn't saying that the pandemic is a hoax. See bolded below.

Remind me again, who leads the DOJ that just proposed suspending habeas corpus for certain cases???

feel like? it is a false equivalency. saying that the president shouldn't have the authority to refuse congress's powers of investigation while demanding bribes from foreign governments to benefit himself isn't at all the same thing as saying the president should have the authority to get medical testing done in the public benefit

and if someones doesn't think that plenty of people think the virus itself is a hoax, egged on by conservatards complaining about a hoax, he's welcome to drive over to louisiana and see idiots filling churches.

In Libertopia, the whole idea of public health is a big gubmint socialist conspiracy to pollute our precious bodily fluids & destroy the spirit of competition. Trump trying to strongarm Ukraine is just business as usual. It's perfectly fine to seek foreign election interference by any means. That's real Freedom!

Rand Paul defends decision to not self-quarantine while awaiting coronavirus test results


GOP senators told CNN Paul was in the gym with colleagues Sunday morning, and several pointed out how close Paul had sat to others during Senate lunches in recent days. Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas said he saw Paul in the Senate swimming pool Sunday, according to a source in the GOP lunch.

It really is unconscionable that he went to the gym with other senators, and lunched closely with others during senate lunches as well as going to work with others in the next office when he knew he was awaiting results.

His excuse was that the current guidelines wouldn't have called for him to be tested, he did it out of concern for his damaged lung so he didn't have to stay home 'cause he wouldn't have stayed home if he hadn't been tested. What a prince of a guy. And he's a doctor as well.
