      I set iOS to automatically open that site in reader mode which not only gets you the full text it hides all the ads too.

      I’m sure android has something similar if you’re on mobile.

      …but you are right - it is trash…

    It’s not extraordinary…

    He’s a doctor, he can’t say shit without losing his medical license. He has to plead the fifth even if there wasn’t a coverup about Biden’s mental health.

    They should be questioned his aides and cabinet that covered it up, they can actually be forced to testify.

    This is empty theater

      Yes and no. Doctors have a duty to report when there are certain dangers. They can also speak in generalities that would show concern for his condition. They can’t say yes the president had dementia diagnosed on X date, or failed X/Y cognitive tests, but that’s not really necessary.

        But not after…

        Which, again, would explain the fifth

        If he didn’t say it then, saying it now would mean he loses his license.

        I dunno, this is one of those things I’m just gonna accept some people can’t understand

          I see it both ways. If it was an issue then, not saying anything was criminal negligence, endangering the USA citizens. Same as Rs covering for the current executive, same as staffers covering for Congress persons.

        Ok. Who does he report to in this instance. The House Oversight Committee, or Trump?

        If the physician does either of those he’s breaking confidentiality and that’s a big no-no.

          Confidentiality is not absolute for medical professionals, they can and have been forced to testify. It’s not as absolute as it is with lawyers or clergy, which also have some limits.

              At the time the cabinet and vp, oversight committees, possibly the AG or IG if they weren’t complicit in a cover up. Also it’s about the president, being deep throat 2 would be acceptable.

          Want me to repost this so at least we get a more reputable source about a developing story?

          FIFY

          I’m not sure where the jab at .world comes from when the problem is blatantly obvious.

                Yes the officially listed reason in the ban, is not the reasons the mods said in public comments. Like how .ml will ban you for calling out Russia/China but say its actually Rule 1.

                  Hmm, I don’t think so. This is what a rule 1 ban looks like. Return2Ozma has a years-long history of breaking the rules, getting his stuff removed, and repeatedly offending despite the warnings. The ban from .world does not look like that. If anything, you could criticize the other instances a lot more for automating their bans. But, you know, if you have the actual text he was banned for, I’d love to read it.

        About 5 hours ago, PugJesus mass downvoted my comments, and reported one of them to a mod, who then downvoted and removed it. 3 hours ago, after being up just fine for 10 days. Because I have a devoted fan who accused me of mass downvoting his posts/comments when he does it to me. DARVO once again.

        Just for reference of how much PugJesus really dislikes you and I, when I’ve been inactive for days due to working and having fun, and he spammed downvotes across 90% of my most recent comments. He downvoted you here too, after 12 days. Because he stalked my account, saw you, and downvoted you too.

        For reference. I’m making this a public comment so he can read that I’m not falling for his bullshit. I recall a few weeks back he said that because I don’t call out .ml that much (funny how he ignores me calling out Hexbear) I somehow must mass downvote his posts across lemmy.

          Me: “Oh look, the ghost said something stupid again. I wonder what they’ve been up to.”

          [clicks profile]

          [sure enough, more stupid things are said, including blatant misinformation]

          Sorry that you say stupid things and break the rules, I guess?

          I recall a few weeks back he said that because I don’t call out .ml that much (funny how he ignores me calling out Hexbear) I somehow must mass downvote his posts across lemmy.

          lol

          I’m sure you can quote me. It would be awful if your memory was as poor as your ability to construct coherent arguments.

          AND a place of honor in your bio? That’s unironically great. Thanks for helping spread me all over the Fediverse!
