Trump Promotes Injecting Bleach — Here’s What That Does to Your Body – Rolling Stone

Trump Promotes Injecting Bleach — Here’s What That Does to Your Body – Rolling Stone

Dr. Peter Chai is an assistant professor in the Emergency Medicine Division of Medical Toxicology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He says that most of the time, when he sees people injecting bleach, it’s usually IV drug users, due to an urban legend that it can clean your blood of impurities after you use heroin and methamphetamine. He says that when people have done this, the side effects are absolutely horrifying.

“Bleach is a caustic agent. It’s the opposite of an acid, because it’s more alkaline. It breaks stuff apart, which is why it works to clean surfaces,” he says. “So when you think about injecting into your veins, it’ll break things apart in your blood.” That usually results in hemolysis, or the red blood cells that carry oxygen in your body breaking apart, so oxygen can’t be carried into your vital organs. This can result in blood clots, liver injury, or most frequently, kidney injury or failure, which could be bad enough that it could be permanent and require dialysis.

Great Leadership!

Great Leadership! πŸ‘΄

I predict that hospitals in the next week will have an uptick in patients with welders’ blindness, severe sunburn and people drinking bleach thanks to the leadership in the federal government.

Fortunately, most people do recover from welders’ blindness but apparently it’s quite painful for a few days after it sets in. Stomachs can be pumped from consuming bleach. Skin cancer on the other hand is a bit more problematic.

Trump suggests ‘injection’ of disinfectant to beat coronavirus and ‘clean’ the lungs

Trump suggests ‘injection’ of disinfectant to beat coronavirus and ‘clean’ the lungs

President Donald Trump suggested the possibility of an “injection” of disinfectant into a person infected with coronavirus as a coronavirus deterrent at the White House daily briefing on Thursday.

Trump made the remark after Bill Bryan, a Department of Homeland Security official who leads the department's Science and Technology division gave a presentation on research his team has conducted that shows the virus does not live as long in warmer and more humid temperatures. Bryan said, “the virus dies quickest in sunlight," leaving Trump to wonder whether you could bring the light "inside the body."

The Intercept: Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund Refused to Support #MeToo Sex Assault Allegation Against Joe Biden | Democracy Now!

The Intercept is reporting that the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, set up to help survivors of rape and sexual assault, refused to fund a #MeToo investigation into allegations against Joe Biden. The charges were brought by Tara Reade, who worked as a staff assistant for then-Senator Biden in 1993, when she was in her mid-twenties. Reade told journalist Katie Halper in an interview published Tuesday that Biden repeatedly touched her without her consent and sexually assaulted her. A warning to listeners and viewers: Her account is graphic.

Roger Stone Can’t Be Saved, Even by Bill Barr – Rolling Stone

Roger Stone Can’t Be Saved, Even by Bill Barr – Rolling Stone

It’s not every day that a degenerate former swinger and serial scumbag who built a career based on a single line of bullshit and self-fellation so constant and vigorous that it is practically a yogic art form stands before the bar of justice, but here we are. Roger Stone is, as he loves to be, in the center of a national political scandal, and with his sentencing approaching in just days, Stone hoped the Trump “Justice” Department would save him from a well-deserved sentence of seven to nine years in prison.

Stone earned the recommended sentence not because he is a Trump ally, but because he threatened witnesses, lied to the court and to the House of Representatives, and got caught. Worst of all, he threatened Judge Amy Berman-Jackson online, defied various gag orders, and engaged in his usual rat-fuckery. He made the mistake of thinking that Judge Berman-Jackson is as gullible as the claque of hangers-on, wanna-be catamites, and scumbag errand boys with whom Stone usually surrounds himself.

Trump Commutes Blagojevich’s Sentence, Gives Clemency To 10 More

Trump Commutes Blagojevich’s Sentence, Gives Clemency To 10 More

President Trump has commuted the sentence of the ex-governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, who has been imprisoned since being convicted on corruption charges over his attempt to sell the Senate seat vacated by then-President Barack Obama.

On Tuesday, the White House announced that Blagojevich is among 11 people who will be receiving clemency.

Those individuals include Edward DeBartolo Jr., former San Francisco 49ers owner convicted in a gambling fraud scandal; convicted Wall Street financier Michael Milken, who became known as the "junk bond king"; and Bernard Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner who pleaded guilty in 2009 to tax fraud and lying to federal officials.
