Most will just carry on. We wish we had herd immunity, we have herd mentality already.

I think people are going to be absolutely pissed that their lives were messed with

The number of COVID-19 related deaths in the USA is already over 50,000. It is a little late to call it "nothing".

50,000 compared to 250,000 or 2.5 million?

 

[Hunerwadel]

He wasn't bein sarcastic. That is Trump trying to cover his azz. He was being serious about wanting to find a way to "disinfect" the body in the same way that surfaces are disinfected with Lysol or other cleaning products. He wasn't talking about using Lysol or ammonia or anything to inject into the body, however. You know that isn't what he was saying. The media knows that also.

I believe you have convinced yourself. But it appears that your side has gone from blindly defending him to making excuses for him.

It had to be sarcasm. No human on earth could be that dumb.

Have you listened to Joe Biden lately?

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Shhhhh this means the Rona bros will have to find doom and gloom in something else. Que donnie in 5,4,3,2

Cruz Seeks to Shut Down Chinese Propaganda Station Phoenix TV

New legislation aims to combat China’s dissemination of Communist Propaganda

Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) is set to unveil legislation that would stop China's Communist Party from exploiting loopholes in U.S. laws that critics say have enabled it to beam propaganda into America through a radio station connected to a state-controlled press organ, according to a copy of the legislation exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Cruz's bill, the first of its kind, was sparked by the purchase of a radio station connected to Phoenix TV—an outlet owned by the Chinese government—that is now using a broadcast tower in Mexico to beam Chinese-language propaganda into the United States. The Mexican station was purchased in 2018 by an investment group with ties to China and is now running communist propaganda produced by Phoenix TV.

Phoenix TV drew the ire of Republican lawmakers and others earlier this year when one of its reporters confronted President Donald Trump during a White House briefing about the coronavirus pandemic. Lawmakers such as Cruz raised objections to the White House granting access to a reporter working for an adversarial regime.

Phoenix TV has used Mexican radio towers to skirt U.S. laws barring the dissemination of foreign propaganda in America and broadcast state propaganda throughout Southern California, sources said.

The effort to shut down Phoenix TV's radio affiliate is just one of many current efforts in Congress to combat Chinese propaganda in light of its efforts to deceive the world about the origin and spread of coronavirus. Other legislative efforts seek to hold China financially accountable for allowing the virus to spread across the globe.

Cruz's bill would close existing loopholes in U.S. law by banning the Federal Communications Commission from granting licenses to any person who intends to change the language of the station they are purchasing. In Phoenix TV's case, the outlet's affiliates applied for an FCC license and then began broadcasting propaganda in Chinese once it assumed control of the Mexico-based radio towers, located near Tijuana.

While the FCC has not granted the license, the station has continued to operate on a temporary license. After initially assuming control of the station, the new owners switched it from Spanish to Chinese-language programming; it is now heard across Southern California.

Trump has a way of giving his enemies ammo in certain situations. This is an example of that, although a (very) poor one. Obviously, anyone with common sense knows he wasn't saying inject disinfectant. I think 80% of people, including Democrats know this. Yet, we have to play these parsing of word games with the people that are doing nothing but spreading fear and misinformation.

I watched the clip again.

I'm not sure your assumption about what he meant is correct.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Its the right way. If you're interpreting it as he said he wants people to self inject chemical disinfectants into their veins...well..Ive got some space moon cheese and some beautiful ocean front property in South Sudan to sell you..

My feelings are if you are fawking stupid enough to inject or drink cleaners or disinfectant, then by george do it. Darwinism at its finest. The only posters on here making a stink about words taken out of context are our liberal leaning contingent. Sounds like they are afraid that their party will fall prey to a play on their stupidity.

If farmers aren't making money off their crops, food prices are going to skyrocket. Restaurants are closing down at an alarming rate as it is.

There's gong to be more expensive products on grocery store shelves at a time when people have less money to spend.

Could you imagine the civil unrest if the food supply chains get interrupted? We're talking Venezuela level.

Scary times we live in.

It's what many on the left in DC wants. Swoop in and pay everyone not to work. Socialism being driven in by a wedge.

I think this is going to be more and more the results that comes out . We have a virus that we don’t have a vaccine for , that we shut the country down for , because of overblown national death rates being attributed to it . You can just smell the federal funding and reimbursement claims from states all over it .

For the last time. He wasn't talking about using a disinfectant like Lysol and injecting it. He was probably thinking off the top of his head and wondering at that moment if a similar method of "disinfecting" the body could be done with some type of medication or other medical method. It didn't come out that way, but if anybody is halfway honest, they know he wasn't saying inject cleaners or commercial disinfectants in the body.

 

[BowlBrother85]

The way they're counting deaths is concerning and again it was HYPOTHETICAL

The way the CDC is counting COVID-19 deaths, is no different than the way they count deaths from the seasonal flu. These deaths include "coronavirus-related" deaths, in addition to "coronavirus-caused" deaths. If the scientific community insists on claiming that 36,000 Americans die from the seasonal flu on an annual average, then in order to be consistent (which is the whole point of keeping such statistics), then they must include "coronavirus-related" deaths in the COVID-19 running tally... because you can't arrive at that annual average of 36,000 seasonal flu deaths, without including "flu-related" deaths.

I’m all for natural selection . Most of us have evolved enough , not to need warning labels on hot coffee cups or to drink / inject bleach into our body . All of this really makes me wonder about the ones screeching over it . If you are sitting around thinking about doing it .. you have bigger issues than how Trump phrased it .

And I don't care really what their political leanings are, let the stupid die.

I just saw it again. He talked about injecting it or using it to wipe down an area. But he definitely included injecting it in his remarks.

Watch it. He definitely, DEFINITELY, said it.

Now, the easy solution is to say he misspoke and did not mean to say what he did say. Easy. And hopefully correct.

But no, his ego is so massive he can't bring himself to just say he misspoke.

The easy solution is to just say that Donald Trump is a goofball doofus, and nobody of a sound mind would ever take medical advice from him... and so, he is harmless.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Now please apply that to public eduction. It's that double standard that blows my mind.

I agree with you to a point. Lack of parenting leads to most of public school issues

 

[Dr Dread]

Its should be shocking that we have that many dumb people in this country that the SG has to make a statement like that...but it isn't anymore.

Would normally agree, but then Trump got elected.

I'd be shocked if people sucked down some lysol based on what he said. I guess in a country of 350 million some idiot might. But he'd have to be a Trump voter. No doubt.

Maybe. I've yet to see mich outrage. Many are quite happy with their govt cheese.

Agreed. I haven’t watched one of those briefings yet but I’ve read the headlines. I wouldn’t take medical advice from anyone participating in that circus.

They would have to be mentally impaired... and already posing a hazard to themselves. Even Trump's most ardent supporters understand that he is an ignoramus. Nobody takes him seriously.
