(Wrong) Is it a flu, is it a virus, is a germ? Nobody knows. (It's a Corona Virus. It's literally in the name) Maybe we can disinfect the lungs. Give them a cleaning. We'll look into it. (Complete stupidity) Biden also says things that are dumb, but you can't defend one guy and rail the other. When you say you in your last sentence you’re including yourself correct?

I say that regardless of political affiliation as I am registered as an Independent. Good, To that bolded part, I disagree a bit. i think it is the media’s job to report on what the president says, not “hold him accountable”. Maybe leave that to op ed pieces. For too long (pre Trump) ostensible news reports contain opinions masked as facts. The voting public is who is who should hold politicians accountable, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albwan Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Dealing with the media reminds me a lot of dealing with my kid. Everything I say I have to go back and break every section down with exactly what I meant so I don't have to say "ugh no that's not what i said or meant" a whole bunch of times. For instance: When are you opening the pool? me: later next day: why aren't you opening the pool, you said later. me: I'll get to it next week (snow on the ground) Why aren't you opening the pool you said this week. me: ...... A friend of mine has a 11 year daughter who can be annoying, and she quipped to her daughter one day go jump off a bridge. Months later, during an argument, she whined - "you told me to kill myself!" I can see how exhausting it has to be dealing with the left from Trump's perspective... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Biden is a horrible candidate. Way too old, no new policies, too prone to gaffs. They're both junk options as President, but I think one would be less awful than the other.

oldmanfan Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 1 minute ago, Deranged Rhino said: Because he didn't say what you're saying he said. And he didn't imply it either. Why are you being dishonest about it instead of dealing with the actual facts? Because his goal is to obfuscate for evil. That requires getting marching orders first. If you think he thinks for himself, you haven't been paying attention to his screed. Again his words: “I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute,” Trump said during Thursday’s coronavirus press briefing. “And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets inside the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.” So you are hanging your hat on the fact that he did not say the specific type of disinfectant? And you're saying he didn't imply anything, when he said right here is there a way to inject disinfectant? The words are right in front of you, yet to deny them. It was a dumb things to say. Although he is right on one thing: disinfectants would do a number on the lungs. They would cause all sorts of respiratory issues including potentially death, at least according to the CDC when talking about the one specific disinfectant: bleach. Science matters. Words matter.

Then the media lied about who said it and pinned it on Trump. They did this in REAL TIME, in front of your faces... and ya'll still fell for it. Why? Trump suggested injecting UV light and disinfectant. As far as the bleach an alcohol aspect, Trump made his suggestion after the CDC dude talked about the effects of UV light, alcohol and bleach on the virus. What Trump said was just plain dumb.

You said he told people to drink it -- he didn't. You were wrong. Was he talking to the people in that statement? Or asking questions of a medical expert? Does that make a difference? You bet it does -- unless you're being dishonest as you are and trying to score points rather than deal with truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked the DOCTOR if the DOCTOR thinks that's possible. Trump didn't suggest anything. What's dumb is taking a statement and twisting it into something else entirely then claiming it's truth.
