Let's Play "Guess Which Political Party"!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, let's play that time honored tradition and game GUESS WHICH POLITICAL PARTY!  Here we go!! Here's the headline and story:

A Missouri lawmaker sold a ‘potential cure’ for coronavirus. It was a fake stem cell treatment, feds say.

Let's take a look and see, shall we?

As she planned a run for the Missouri House last April, Patricia Ashton Derges went on local TV to trumpet a stem cell treatment offered at three clinics she owns as a “potential cure” for the coronavirus.

But when federal officials began investigating the claim, they found Derges was making “misleading statements” about the treatment, prosecutors said — it didn’t actually include any stem cells.

Derges, a 63-year-old Republican who was elected to the state House in November, now faces 20 criminal charges, including wire fraud and distribution by means of the Internet without a valid prescription, a federal grand jury indictment unsealed on Tuesday revealed.

So if you guessed Republican, ladies and gentlemen, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! You win the Grand Prize! (Whatever that is).

This is not to say, by any means, that all Republicans are bad and all Democrats are good, no, no, not at all. The political party of Ronnie the Raygun and his Iran Contra scandal and illegalities--- that he got away with, it should be added. The political party now of insurrectionist, treasonous, "I never did turn over my taxes" Donald J "Jenius Trump. That political party.

Let's just say I and a lot of us out here saw this one coming, m-kay??
