Rachel Maddow reporting on CDC manipulating reports regarding South Dakota meat factory.

Every person involved should be prosecuted and convicted of murder.

1. Looking at the grocery store meat selection, it's obvious something is still very

seriously wrong. One regular item I like is the regular Jeanie O' turkey sausage. I can get the taco, Italian and chorizo, but not the regular. I'd heard they had COVID bad at at least one big plant, that must be why.

I haven't been to Costco here for a couple months now. Last time they literally had no freakin' bacon except for uncured. And only organic eggs.

2. Rachel was livid giving this report.

She and her staff have been working on this story for a while. She said they would put both reports (the first real report and the doctored one) on their website. This is an important story and she deserves an award for it. What she described amounts to a crime. Lots of people should go to prison for the pain and suffering and deaths they caused.

3. I'm betting the villain is Sonny Perdue.

Secretary of Agriculture. Rachel mentioned him several times but I wasn't following closely enough to get the context.

In Dumpworld corporate executives are the bosses who call the shots; "big gubment" don't tell them what to do because...PROFITS AND BONUSES!!!!

Incidentally, although he is "founder and partner in an agricultural trading company," Sonny "is not related to the family who owns and operates Perdue Farms (commonly associated with 'Perdue Chicken')."

4. But he is related to Senator David Perdue

who needs to be defeated by Jon Ossoff.

10. That explains David's bragging about being able to get farm workers during a pandemic.

My TV comes out of Georgia, so I get to see all the ads. He has an ad out bragging about how he was able to hire farm labor when the pandemic was creating shortages. I'm sure his cousin had a hand in that, and I hope someone asks him if these workers were all documented. I'm betting the answer is no.

5. This is criminal

I guess that’s why Moscow Mitch is trying so hard to get amnesty for the business owners.

7. Thanks

Crimes against humanity - those foreign brown people - just give us our meat.

Rachel has been watching this from the beginning. I remember folks here complaining that she was preoccupied with it

[Rhiannon12866]

8. This was one excellent report, she deserves an award for it

And it's exactly what we need to hear about, the horrors of this Trump regime which haven't been regularly reported in the news - and there is going to be so much more...

[Bluepinky]

9. Agree, the investigative work she and her staff did is exceptional.

People surrounding Trump are tested all the time, to ensure that he remains COVID free. But the working class population? He doesn’t care if they live or die. But he’ll make sure they’re productively making money for their corporate masters while they’re alive.
