    Harris was on Colbert a day or two ago talking about it and she kept calling them tests, which makes it sound like a case of $10 tests. But she did a good job of telling people to remember how hard it was to get tested at the time, how people had to wait in line in their cars for hours, then wait a few days to get the results.

    Also remember Trump kept saying we didn’t need to test so much because when we tested a lot it made the number of cases go up., which was so incredibly stupid. I saw a clip where he was on tv ranting that we were testing too much and it turned out to be the very same day he gave those machines to Putin.

      Yet another statement from Donald which even on its own should have ended any support whatsoever. Yet another act of corruption.

      It’s like telling the accounting department to stop posting journal entries because it “keeps making the balance sheet go down”.

      Then again, we’re talking about a guy who managed to bankrupt multiple casinos. Businesses for which the revenue model consists mostly of people handing you money, and you handing 3/4 of it back.

      Bob Woodward, one of the primary reporters for the Watergate scandal, was the one who revealed and detailed it in his latest book called “War” that is out on the 15th. Dmitry Peskov, the main spokesperson for the Kremlin (Russian equivalence of the Whitehouse) confirmed it on the 8th.

      It’s all over the web at the moment, just pick their goto new media site from the results.

      Algorithmic content delivery and biased news outlets mean they live in a very different world.

    Yet another reason not to vote for tr*mp (particularly significant to me, as a Ukrainian), other than

    • He was on the *pst**n jet
    • There was a *** scandal
    • He is blatantly racist and anti-immigrant
    • He committed fraud and other crimes
    • Conspired against citizen’s rights
    • He committed or conspired to commit treason
    • And so much more If I was a citizen of America, I would vote for Harris

    Look I wanna trust Camry Diaz but what the fuck are “reusable covid testing machines” ? Either “google” sucks or I suck at searching so I can’t find anything and all I have to go on is my bullshit radar and it’s in the red. It sounds too much like the vague accusations from the lower brain cell politicians. It just has that style and motive.

    Idk. Dont buy an explanation just cause you agree with it

      Skepticism is healthy, but it took me less than 30 seems seconds to find an answer. According to Forbes, they were “ID NOW” machines by Abbott Point of Care - so presumably V1 of this device.
