If they were more competent at doing harm, they could mandate that any vaccine that is bought if federal government money has to have a sticker with Trump’s signature (printed with gold-effect ink) on the syringe.

And then there is this:

Thing is, anyone who is surprised by this has been studiously not paying attention. And the subsequent disaster will, of course, be blamed on the Biden administration. Fuck them all with rusty barbed wire, damn it.
