I think he got the idea from Beavis and Butthead. Why not just go for Draino? :D

We have one person that thinks Trump was being sarcastic. Care to enlighten the rest of us how you know this?

It will come in handy the next time Trump says something stupid maybe we can all get a laugh. After all what's a few pandemics between friends?

Option C: It does not matter, he said something dangerous and should have been impeached both before and after. Republicans need to be held accountable for their irresponsible votes for him.


Hey, even republicans know he's kind of a pos, but he's cock blocking the left's agenda, which is all that matters to the right, in the end. Pretty much all us Republicans are willing admit that we didn't elect a saint, nor did we have any delusions that we were. It is all about war over turf, ideals, and how the country goes forward. There will never be a coming together, as the wants of each side are polar opposite. No POTUS is going to unite such ideological differences....EVAR.
BTW, we laughed off what he said, figuring he was wondering out loud about a concept or idea he'd heard from someone. As I've said before, liberals parse every word, then the media blows it up and it becomes hysteria. Just another day. ;)

True, there won’t be any coming together. You guys can barely read or write and worship a guy who tells you to drink bleach. Have fun with that, hope it’s tasty. Who knew conservative Republicans would be the real tide pod crew, not attention seeking adolescents without fully developed brains.

What exactly are these supposed polar opposites except that Republicans believe a circus clown should be President as long as he has an R next to his name?

Otherwise, can you actually name any of these supposedly insurmountable ideological differences that are actually true, and not just the lies of Republican propaganda?

I really think it is dementia!

Look at this, while still a ridiculous rejection and a word salad he is much more lucid and even keeping track of a few negatives.

4:35 in

If you have had experience with dementia up front you know that lucidity is cyclic in nature . Obviously they would be trying to control the ups and downs with medicine.
He was lucid and alert in this fox piece.

The 'sarcasm' defence makes no sense. What was he being sarcastic about? Sarcasm doesn't just mean 'saying something stupid', it has a particular meaning, you have to be sarcastic _about_ something.

We all knew this was coming...
FDA Tells Healthcare Providers: Stop Treating COVID-19 Outpatients with Malaria Drugs



The Food and Drug Administration on Friday issued a safety warning to healthcare providers, instructing them to stop prescribing hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to people with COVID-19 being treated on an outpatient basis. The health regulator cited reports of serious heart rhythm problems among coronavirus patients who had been treated with the drugs, which were originally used to fight malaria, a parasitic disease.

Hydroxychloroquine hasn't been proven effective at fighting other lethal coronaviruses that invade the respiratory system. Unfortunately, the malaria drug has been shown to cause abnormal heart rhythms that lead to fainting, seizures, and sometimes death.

Better than saying he was babbling incoherently?

But are you now willing to admit you elected someone who is not fit to hold the office??

Who cares. If people are still listening to trump for any sort of information then they deserve whatever happens to them as a result.

We have less than 7 months left to deal with this idiot, let’s simply ignore him and move on. There are plenty of real experts we can rely on instead of the human overflowing toilet of a president for information.

Didn't vote for that false dichotomy, the point is that The President is speaking from a position of authority and it might not be 'fun' but he needs to respect that his words carry weight and are taken seriously (at least by his supporters, who are still Americans, if not by anyone else).

I think he was trying to be humorous when he really should not have been, and his "joke" might legitimately drive some people to inadvertently kill themselves.

The left’s agenda? What exactly is that?
