Soviet Assets In The White House

Armand Hammer was a known Soviet asset and Al Gore's father worked for him at Occidental Petroleum after vigorously defending him on the Senate floor from charges of espionage. Al Gore Jr. personally profited from his father's relationship with Armand Hammer.
Sen. Ted Kennedy approached Yuri Andropov with a proposed deal to help the Russians deal with Ronald Reagan if they would help the Democrat party in its campaign against Reagan.
While a student in England Bill Clinton took a trip to the Soviet Union and later, as president, allowed a massive missile technology transfer to communist China.
The idea that there have been Russian assets in the Whitehouse is not so crazy but maybe we should not put Trump at the top of that list.

The impotence of alternative medicine

The world has no chocie but agree that all that Chinese folk medicine, and all the alternative medicine, has been just a bunch of bunk and excrement after the Corvid-19 pandemic.
What could be the fitting punishment for all the crooks that cheated people out of their money under the pretense of offering them treatment and medicine?
Maybe burrowing the concept from the bunk of homeopathy, the punishment should be like the offense, feed the homeopaths with all the inventory of their snake oil, make the Chinese charlatans eat rotten intestines from the butcher's market in Wuhan.
