^^^ gifs you can hear

Oh look everyone in the media's talking about his bleach thing instead of the fact 50,000 people are dead in the US, wonder why he said that

apparently Fox News dragged out a neuroradiologist who shared his expert opinion that the isolation from Coronavirus should end.

they're just dragging out people with Dr in their name as long as they'll say we shouldn't self-isolate.

I know I'm the "oh stop the Eeyore shit" itt but that's when it comes to beating Trump in November, something we have at least some semblance of influence over.

after seeing the mass gathering in Michigan where no social distancing was observed, I'm pretty convinced we're going to get millions of people killed by reopening too early because politicians and governors in some states start kowtowing to these assholes.

if these idiots were the ones who would die for their stupidity, i wouldn't care, but. ...ughhh

just ordered booze.

this whole thing is fucking stupid but I have to say this may be the first time I've seen CNN use "Trump lies" in a headline

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/24/politics/fact-check-trump-disinfectant-sarcastic/index.html

I was surprised by that. Especially since this lie was way less certifiable than hundreds of others he's told.

has he recently said we should do what Sweden is doing or anything like that

Oh look everyone in the media's talking about his bleach thing instead of the fact 50,000 people are dead in the US, wonder why he said that

p sure the media is talking a lot about the 50,000 dead in the media considering the moment we crossed 50k I heard about it everywhere

the media is talking about it in the media cos in the media they're in the media y'know, christ wtf 'Thal

Oh look everyone in the media's talking about his bleach thing instead of the fact 50,000 people are dead in the US, wonder why he said that

lol no way did he 'plan' this news cycle, he'd much much rather the media talk about dead Americans than him being a dumbass

it's a headfake, also he was behind BAlloon Boy

also Air Force one has a pred ship inside it

actually drinking bleach DOES cure coronavirus but he doesn't want the public to know so he's making everybody think it's a crazy thing to do so that we all get stuck inside, the economy tanks, he loses the election and can get back to making The Apprentice the #1 show in america; circles inside circles INSIDE circles

wait a second, you mean to tell me this wasn't just some stupid idea that percolated up in Trump's brain? there's actually people trying to push him to talk about this cure!

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/24/revealed-leader-group-peddling-bleach-cure-lobbied-trump-coronavirus

i only post truth

i hear you but i honestly don't think this guy can even play 1-d chess

Some anti-vaxxers are citing that since the manufacturers are saying not to take 'disinfectants', and since certain 'disinfectants' are used in vaccines, they are rationalizing that Trump said what he said to coax the companies into saying you shouldn't take vaccines.

Basically any dimensional chess is the base building favorable narratives for their personal causes out of Two-Scoops' brainfart one-liners.

I'll wait until I see the latest intelligence from Q-Anon before I decide what form of brilliance is deeply hidden in Trump's disinfectant and UV light message. It was probably a coded warning against some evil machination of the Deep State.

Imagine at sporting events or concerts. To enter you have to first go through a far-UVC light portal like an airport metal detector.

Kills any viruses on you.

Also, in bathrooms, add a far-UVC light to the hand dryer. As you dry your hands, it kills viruses.

Just ideas.

I have a feeling far-UVC lights are about to be in high demand.

Bill Mitchell has a touching confidence in the medical value of his "just ideas".

he's just spitballing; your pessimism is anti-american

What could go wrong?

lol remember like two weeks ago when Aimless told me to drink bleach

i missed this detail from later in the infamous briefing (the last one where the fucker will talk? for at least a few days? goddamn):

Later in the briefing, Phil Rucker, a reporter for The Washington Post, asked the president why he had had that discussion because “people tuning into these briefings, they want to get information and guidance and want to know what to do — they’re not looking for a rumor.”

“Hey, Phil,” he responded. “I’m the president, and you’re fake news.”

what an asshole

i find it remarkable that the various reporters *never* snap back. as our president would suggest, what do they have to lose?

In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. … Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.

If everyone starts wearing TRUMP 2020 masks, I bet they tell us to STOP wearing them!

The byline's a warning, but now we got some people on the record.

Republicans were taken aback this past week by the results of a 17-state survey commissioned by the Republican National Committee. It found the president struggling in the Electoral College battlegrounds and likely to lose without signs of an economic rebound this fall, according to a party strategist outside the R.N.C. who is familiar with the poll’s results.

The Trump campaign’s own surveys have also shown an erosion of support, according to four people familiar with the data, as the coronavirus remains the No. 1 issue worrying voters.

Polling this early is, of course, not determinative: In 2016 Hillary Clinton also enjoyed a wide advantage in many states well before November.

Yet Mr. Trump’s best hope to win a state he lost in 2016, Minnesota, also seems increasingly challenging. A Democratic survey taken by Senator Tina Smith showed the president trailing by 10 percentage points there, according to a Democratic strategist who viewed the poll.

The private data of the two parties is largely mirrored by public surveys. Just last week, three Pennsylvania polls and two Michigan surveys were released showing Mr. Trump losing outside the margin of error. And a pair of Florida polls were released that showed Mr. Biden enjoying a slim advantage in a state that is all but essential for Republicans to retain the presidency.

good going, make it sound like a chain email, bring back that 90s authenticity

noble committee strikes again

The date.

The fact that there are warnings like "Do not drink" on bottles of bleach makes me realise that Donald Trump can become president.

Does anybody get the meaning of what a so-called Noble (not Nobel) Prize is, especially as it pertains to Reporters and Journalists? Noble is defined as, “having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals.” Does sarcasm ever work?

Parscale/Scavino flop sweat pouring off fingers into two distanced phones, one deleting the moronic tweet while the other one insists it was a trick and you’re dumb for falling for it

The Least Funny Man In The World Wonders Why People Don't Realize He's Being Funny

no, sarcasm neeeever works, i don't see it working all the time, no one understands it

(shits pants) Sarcasm!

Completely incoherent, total lack of urgency. Rambling, defensive, bloodless. We’re on week 7 of this and Pelosi is just now getting around to perhaps, maybe sorta considering a basic income—e.g. the only policy that can meaningfully counter the GOP’s “open the economy” narrative https://t.co/vQsjZL6HSY

— Adam H. Johnson (@adamjohnsonNYC) April 27, 2020

it's not sarcasm it's a fucking play on words you pathetic sack of horseshit

That tweet is just a bunch of name calling and arrogant overconfidence in his own strategic brilliance. Adam Johnson can bite Pelosi's ass.

Adam Johnson's photo makes me think he bathes in dumpster water. It does not inspire confidence in his strategy prescriptions.
