Spanky "Lysol" Trump does NOT want Americans VOTING BY MAIL in the general election. He and Mitch and the rest of the gang will do all they can to prevent it.

Instead of going on the offensive after the world reacted with shock and horror to his Thursday night suggestion that the coronavirus might be treated by injecting disinfectant into a human body, Trump claimed he was being “sarcastic” and then retreated from public view.

The New York Times reported that some officials in the White House thought “it was one of the worst days in one of the worst weeks of his presidency.”

But it was Trump’s silence on Friday night that spoke volumes.

White House coronavirus taskforce briefings are often two-hour primetime marathons but on Friday Trump turned on his heel as reporters shouted questions in vain. Perhaps it was a fit of pique, or perhaps revenge on the reporters that he sees as persecutors. He may also have reached a tipping point with his own advisers warning that the televised briefings are hurting him far more than they help.

Right on cue, minutes later, the Axios website reported that Trump plans to “pare back” his coronavirus press conferences, according to four of its sources. Next week, it said, “he may stop appearing daily and make shorter appearances when he does”.

No way does he follow advice to step back. He won’t make it a week before his ego takes over. He’s like Vince McMahon’s entrance music “No Chance in Hell” he already treats these briefings like it’s a WWE storyline.

Because of course that's the main thing: "helping" Trump. Help the American people? Fuck no, who gives a shit about them?

Oh, the pain!
Now Gov Cuomo's show will beat Trump in the ratings.

As a non-American, I struggle with how many people still follow Trump and the likelihood he will be voted back in. If any of our leaders said half the shit he does, their own party would kick them to the curb so freaking fast they would wonder what happened. American politics is both fascinating and very, very scary.

A significant portion of Americans have some degree of ignorance and/or just lack critical thinking skills. They can be gaslighted and manipulated by even an obvious charlatan like Trump. And this is one thing, maybe the only thing, that Trump understands about people. Some have wised up and abandoned him but many continue to believe or excuse every falsehood he spouts.

The GOP and right-wing media have conditioned people to think this way. The GOP is a corrupt party. When Trump bullied and bulldozed his way into the nomination, the party and networks had no choice but to go all in on him, which may turn out to be a huge mistake and ultimately their downfall (the apt "Everything Trump touches dies" maxim).

That level of blind faith is nuts.

It is. Seriously. If this Trump/GOP-led nightmare ends, we're going to have instill kids with better critical thinking in schools and also teach them about the dangers of propaganda and how to spot it so that we don't end with completely gullible adults. It's now clear that almost half the country can be conditioned to believe and fall in line with obvious lies until heinous activity by the government is completely acceptable in their minds. Germany has learned this lesson the hard way, and now sadly America will have to learn it, too.

Fox News took the baton from The National Enquirer about the gullible masses. It would be humorous except that it harms the country and its citizens. People would rather believe the Deep State is after their beloved right to life heroes instead of admitting the truth to themselves. The racist based Southern Strategy is alive and well... twist it any way you want, but I'll never be convinced otherwise. I hear what they say all of the time when they mistakenly think I'm one of them.

While some of us disagree about what Trump meant when talking about targeted therapies, I think we can agree that Clorox and Lysol need to capitalize on these marketing opportunities.

Actually this administration is so much like the WWE anymore they should just start letting Bonespurs do old 80's WWF style press conferences dressed as Earthquake with Pence as his manager and Hannity doing the Gene Okerlund bit...

Uh oh. From Fox News. It is NOT good for Spanky at ALL.

States see spike in poison control calls following Trump's comments on injecting disinfectant

Some poison control centers reported a spike in calls following President Trump’s suggestion that injecting disinfectant might help people infected with coronavirus.

At a news briefing Thursday, Trump speculated on the effectiveness of several possible treatments for the virus, most notably by injecting disinfectant into the body.

The comment alarmed medical professionals around the world. The president subsequently claimed on Friday that he was being "sarcastic," although at the press conference he was soberly addressing health experts on the coronavirus task force, urging them to launch a study.

In New York City, the Daily News reported that the Poison Control Center saw 30 cases of “exposure to Lysol, bleach & other cleaners in 18 hours after Trump’s suggestion” that cleaning products might be used to treat coronavirus. NYC Poison Control saw only 13 such cases in a similar period last year.

Good job, Hannity. Explain to the class how your meme applies to this thread.

[Metal Sludge]

Trump wasn't talking about injecting yourself with Lysol.

Yes he was.
I saw it live. Not Lysol specifically, but disinfectant. He said by injection. He was not responding to reporters,he was not being sarcastic, he was asking his medical professionals, who just sat there and did not contradict him, or tell him that was crazy, or shut that shit down in any way!
Now we know you're an anti-vaxxer. No one else has started that thread, but I will.

[Rorysfan]

As many gaffs as Trump has made over the last three years, this is how Trumptards think they're getting even?

[Rageman]

Look
See
Over

Look over there! See over there with Biden!
Translation
Let me OVERLOOK all of Trump's obvious faults while I OVERSEE all of Biden's.

[Luminiferous]

Trump wasn't talking about injecting yourself with Lysol.

"Then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks (the virus) out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs."

You're correct. He didn't mention a BRAND NAME.

Exactly. Disinfectants kills the virus on surfaces in seconds, not minutes, but not the human body...

And yes there IS a way to do something like that, it's called a "vaccine" which isn't a disinfectant..

Spanky deleted these tweets today.
Can you say "Pulitzer?" Spanky is confused...once more.

[whammybar]

Maybe he's about to have a breakdown. Maybe during live television. Excuse me.... I'm off to do one of those Homer Simpson daydreams....

[Danzig in the Dark]

That's not very nobel of him to say.

[Turner Coates]

The guy really, really wants a medal.



__________________________________________

Oh brother. Now Spanky's replying to fallout from his deleted tweets. He meant to say "noble."
It's all part of the fine art of "sarcasm."



I think what's happening to Spanky is largely a result of not having a cheering live audience anymore. Now it's just the reporters asking pesky questions. He loses his mojo without adulation. The love vibes emanating from Pence aren't strong enough. Spanky needs a full chorus of support.

Fuck them both. Im never voting for anyone over 70 again. Not Dumpf, not Bernie, not the hair sniffer. Im going to blatantly discriminate against these old ass fucks and their bullshit ‘great generation’. Fuck them all.

You idiot. Trumptards cried from the highest mountain "She's a porn chick! Somebody like that would never tell the truth! Wahhh!!" Now you believe her. Do you have any idea how retarded you are?

Oh and this:

Have you tried paying Noid (and the rest of the board, all witnesses) to say you didn't snitch like a bitch?

This whole thing could go away....

[Mojo]

You idiot. Trumptards cried from the highest mountain "She's a porn chick! Somebody like that would never tell the truth! Wahhh!!" Now you believe her. Do you have any idea how retarded you are?

That article is from right before Trump’s lawyer admitted paying her a fuckton of money to shut up, which freed her up to more openly talk about why she let one of the most disgusting people on the planet raw dog her, a claim that she’s still making to this day. So again, Lemmytold is posting absolute bullshit. Still.

Also...

[exitflagger]

Ha! Old news is usually redhotdunce's thing. But I wouldn't doubt she would recant her story now if somebody ponied up the money for her to do it. As long as she's not under oath and the money's flowing...

[poisonheart]

Over TWO YEAR old article?

“You can’t make this stuff up. ”

I await the inevitable laffy-faced driveby in a week’s time where we learn this was all “sarcasm.”

Stay laughable, dunce.

So why did you snitch and try to get Buttnoid banned, pussyboy?
