US election 2020

Yes, that’s my position. I expect that he’s actually got COVID - but he is an habitual liar, so it’s a bit like the Tale of Peter and the Wolf, really.

Not in the least like Peter and the Wolf. But only because you are thinking of the wrong fairy tale. You'll be thinking of the Boy Who Cried Wolf - a tale of a serial liar who got what was coming to him.

Yes, Tannin. Quite right. Just another Senior's Moment, here.

[Tannin]

Sure does. And it's not just Trump. Everybody he surrounds himself with gets drawn into the dishonesty and craziness. Now even his doctors have been caught telling outright lies.

Doctors. Flat-out lying.

Is there anyone this man can't corrupt?

[Pies4shaw]

The extreme right is really, really good at using memes and gifs to deflect attention from its own fundamental insanity.

Amongst many other equally insane things, Trump supporters in the US manage to believe (many of them simultaneously) that there is no COVID, that Trump doesn't have COVID, that the Democrats have deliberately given Trump COVID, that Trump "defeating" COVID will prove that it is mild and all restrictions must end, that the "deep state" is deliberately interfering with Trump's efforts to bring forward an effective vaccine for COVID and that it doesn't really matter anyway because it only kills those who are not law-abiding, Republican-voting white people.

We can't stop the Stupid Right in another country believing contrary, unbelievable rubbish. But, really, how do we get to a position where people who live in Australia and have IQs higher than a piece of soap think that its all the people who don't believe such rubbish that are wearing the tin-foil hats?

It disgusts me.

This is going to be the biggest and best recovery from Coronavirus that anyone has ever seen, Just you wait.

[pietillidie]

Is this satire? Did I just read the deranged nutter forced his security to drive him around in an enclosed virus soup so he could wave at his cult?

It's an absolute psychopath.

A doctor at the Walter Reed hospital where Donald Trump is being treated has strongly criticised the president's motorcade ride due to infection risk inside the car.

"That Presidential SUV is not only bulletproof, but hermetically sealed against chemical attack. The risk of Covid-19 transmission inside is as high as it gets outside of medical procedures," Dr James Philips tweeted.

He said that those inside the president's car would need to quarantine for 14 days and are at risk of getting sick.

Dr Philips is also an assistant professor of emergency medicine at George Washington University.

Yes. I thought it was Haiti in the 1970s. Alas, not.

Yes! And Mexico is going to pay for it!

To be fair, the "tin-foil hat" remarks were in reference to people advancing the bolded conspiracy theory as a possibility (and I can't even count how many times I've seen this in recent days) or else that he'd contracted it deliberately as a ploy (again, something that's been making the rounds). Leftists and centrists may be a little less susceptible to such things, but are unfortunately not immune from their own flights of fancy.

[Tannin]

Bullshiite, David. That is 100% pure bullshite.

There was every reason possible to doubt the word of a serial liar, and a serial liar claiming something electorally very convenient to himself.

Believing Trump prior to seeing reliable, fact-based evidence to support his claim would be really, really, really dumb. Thankfully, most of us here are smart enough to realise this, and we suspended judgement pending actual evidence.

(Trump's unsupported tweet isn't ever evidence of anything.)

Note also that now the evidence is tricking in, it is full of lies and contradictions. Even his bloody doctor lies.

To be fair David, any clear thinker has a right to be sceptical when there’s a wilful strategy over the years and now to provide mixed and confusing messages, when there’s been deliberate lying over all manner of things including but not limited to the Coronavirus.

Exhibit one: see the mixed messages from his medical team, him driving around, etc.

He's going to make China pay for it.



Even though he's pissed with China, he does admire some things. I mean, they built their wall centuries ago and there's no Mexicans in China so see how well that worked?

^ I love it.

A health professor at George Washington University explained what she would do if one of her patients suggested leaving the Covid ward for a drive around the block and back. I'd call security to restrain him, then perform a psychiatric evaluation to examine his decision-making capacity.

K, I think this is your cue!

That's my job and let me tell you......

We know he's a friggin narcassistic and sociopathic tool but this crazy? I recommend deep sleep therapy with a stat IV bleach order.
