Thanks Josh I was a cretin being hoodwinked by that award winning bozo Bob Woodward.Also I was influenced by the obvious "fake news" story about injecting toxic substances into one's veins to kill covid 19 . I will now enlighten myself by an intake of Fox news for six hours a day and relish their unbiased approach to journalistic excellence.
As they say do not underestimate people's ability to be stupid!

:old: :old: :old: :old:



its all biased, both sides, and bob woodward is not second to none either... very well known but churning out pretty non event books on the back of his notoriety.. what exactly is in that book or his last 3 or 4 books that had not been said prior ? thats not investigative journalism , you could have written it... or most of his other books of late...a man that defended a pulitzer prize winner who had won on the back of a fictional story passed off as factual. because it was a good story. ?
its America mate, all sorts goes and they are all as bad as each other, no moral high ground because morals are alien to them

Did he suggest drinking bleach?

Not when you watch the full press conference or read the full transcript of what he was saying

Even politifact who have a very overt bias have labeled this as mostly false.

Yet the media went mad with it...

Fake news? Trchnically not, in the fact that he was literally discussing the possible use of disenfectants in the treatment of COVID and talked about internal treatments.

A completely different narrative to what he was actually saying, 100%.

Context is important and if you watch the press conference he is essentially in a conversation exploring ideas with his senior health advisor.

I dont particularly think it is a good thing to do in front of a media mob waiting to pick you apart on everything you say, but it is refreshingly honest and transparent approach, the complete antithesis of the polished scripted performances of career politicians happily lying to us all and that is a huge part of Trump's appeal.

He might be polarising but those love him think of him as their guy and will be out in droves to vote for him.

Most democrat voters aren't voting for Biden they are voting against Trump and in any normal election that would mean a red wave.

With mail in voting, the game can easily be rigged though so who knows what will happen.

Seriously, if the democrats wanted to contest in the election they has the peefect candidate in Tulsi Gabbard. She literally had everything and perhaps most importantly wasnt insane.

Biden/Harris is literally the worst combo they could have put together.

I dont know if its arrogance or incompetence to be honest mate.

tbh i find it very difficult to read anything about American politics without doubting what i read...lists of Trumps lies and by the time you get to number 3 or 4 you come to something you actually heard him say, which is not what the lie list says..its lies about lies..then you have Trump dismissing all news as fake news. :?

When I heard the news this morning I thought it was a fake story.
Then watching the news today and watching him talking about the virus over the months I'm finding myself laughing every 5 mins. He's made himself look like a complete tool. I always thought of him as a clown but this really is comedy gold.
Roll on November elections and the end of the fool on the world stage.

US President Donald Trump has been taken to hospital less than 24 hours after testing positive for coronavirus.

Mr Trump began exhibiting "mild symptoms" of Covid-19 on Thursday after disclosing that he and his wife had gone into quarantine late Wednesday.

He received a cocktail of drugs as a "precautionary measure", the White House said, and was feeling "fatigued but in good spirits".

He was transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre.

A White House spokesperson said in a statement: "President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day.

"Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the president will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days.

"President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the first lady."

Trump has done less harm worldwide than his predecessors, Trump is hated by the media, showbiz and academia because he said women let very rich and influential men touch their pussies. I’m not a Trump Fanboy but Trump derangement syndrome is hysterical

With regards to voting by mail The Heritage Foundation have found that mail in voting is the most likely to be altered, stolen or forged. Link: https://www.heritage.org/election-integ ... ail-voting

In 2012, The New York Times found votes made by mail are twice as likely to be rejected than a vote made in person, mostly due to filling them out improperly. Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/07/us/p ... tions.html

In recent votes states such as Wisconsin and Maryland were unable to even count votes due to the delays in voters receiving their ballots by mail.

The USPS has also often failed to postmark ballots, making it impossible to know whether or not the vote was sent in time. Link: https://www.npr.org/2020/08/18/90349061 ... postmarked

In the last four elections, an estimated 2.7 million votes by mail we misdelivered and 1.3 million rejected. Link: https://www.heritage.org/election-integ ... ail-voting

The Heritage Foundation also has a database of over 1,200 instances of voter fraud.

The evidence is clear, in person voting is less susceptible to fraud or other external issues than in person voting. Absentee voting by mail is of course a different kettle of fish though, and certainly has a purpose.


get your facts correct republicans run the senate and the demarcates run the house of representatives
