  Funky: Please try the following exercise: In a short amount of time, Trump will be out of the hospital, healthy and back on the campaign trail after a period of mandatory isolation. The media sources you listen to will immediately move on to a new "breaking" scandal, in the hope you forget about all the other failures to get anything right, including this story.

  It is called propaganda.

  Do you remember how the election was being stolen two weeks ago? Do you remember how Trump was going to the poor house last week?

  All I want you to do is to reflect about how the media managed to get this story wrong, and not immediately assign some charitable interpretation (such as, Trump was really ill and it was covered up, or even experts get it wrong, and so on).

  But sure, until then you are free to believe the president does not actually work, and you are free to believe he was crashing and dying Friday as he was walking to the helicopter and they thought fuck it, let's just wing it with this one and give him a bunch of random experimental drugs, what is the worst that can happen?

  How come that every time a democrat is asked to explain something all you get is word salad?

  1) President Trump got diagnosed with the corona flu

  2) Best doctors in the US administer drugs based on best practice

  3) President looks perfectly fine and healthy, continues to carry out his duties

  Democrats: The man must be dying, and the proof is whatever treatment he is getting makes him look perfectly fine!

  Are you even able to process information and come up with a coherent reply at this point?

  None. Do you know what a precautionary measure is?

  Let me ask you: Does he look like someone at deaths door? Is standing up, talking coherently and without shortness of breath, is his capable of talking without coughing?

  How is his complexion? alertness?

  If you had Corona, and you were able to do all that, would you naturally conclude you had a mild case or a severe case?

  Do you remember you made a big point out of "marking" my post before the weekend where I wrote he would be up and about, showing he was in good health during the weekend?

  I had a regular cold two years ago and looked and sounded a heck of a lot worse than Trump.

  Who am I to believe, the Huffington post or my own lying eyes?

  This is similar to how earlier last week you insisted Trump was broke despite owning a private plane and multiple multi-million dollar properties.

  Sick People Are Happy If Someone Gets Covid

  some people are such haters!

  we may have real differences on politics, religion or life but we should never rejoice that someone has gotten an illness simply because we don’t see eye to eye with them.. there are people here that i have differences with but i would never wish them i’ll health or worse, death.👎.

  I agree. It is very nasty how the left are treating Trump with no compassion. The conservative media does not behave like that, but rather engage with compassion and empathy when the situation calls for it.

  The left is also incredibly poor at judging the optics of anything related to Trump. To most folks, showing your face when you have the flu implies bravery and strength. I think the ride in the car was just the hopeful message people need.

  Here is the appropriate context: https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/apr/24/context-what-donald-trump-said-about-disinfectant-/

  What Trump said was perhaps phrased a bit clumsy, but it is a completely reasonable and coherent statement.

  California to ban sales of fossil fuel cars in 15 years

  by mickbobcat in

  this will never work but liberals are too stupid to know it.

  first off all you have to do is cross the border and buy a car.

  if they will not let you license it in the state then many will license it out of state.

  slimboyfat: If it cost more fossil fuel energy to build/drive a "green" car than a "regular" car (not to speak of all the new mines, factories, etc.), then what is the point?

  It is not insignificant the so-called worst-case changes are all 50-100 years in the future. If I told you that you would get 100 dollars now, but owe 1000 in 100 years, chances are you would take the money now. In the same way, it is completely rational to not care that much about what may (or may not) happen in 100 years, even so-called catastrophic scenarios.

  And there it is, a completely fine looking Trump walks to Marine one while wearing a mask.

  The story people will remember from this is that Trump did not hide in the basement from the virus like Biden, but stayed on his post and did his job, and when he got ill, he bravely fought the virus. It may seem sappy to put it like that, but part of the US presidency is about emotions.

  People don't want a president who lived in his basement for 3 months because of fancy flu.

  A bit. When Trump turns out fine, it will send a message that a person in the supposed danger age can get it and it is not that big a deal. Furthermore, it will make Trump look strong. Not a good day for Biden...

  Anthony Morris wants former Jehovah's Witnesses DEAD

  in a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.

  i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .

  what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.

  It is a poor sign from an institutional standpoint that they don't have a mechanism to stop this. I mean, if this was their BEST take...
