Don't say that please...there was that couple that died injesting fish tank cleaner they thought was hydroxychloroquine.  And it's tragic to say this in modern day America, but, yeah, somebody might inject bleach into their lungs because it sounds plausible to them.

*** Edit:  The husband died and the wife was hospitalized ***

From what I remember it was hydroxychloroquine, but not in a form intended for humans.

In any case, your argument is that Trump's words kill people, and because that's tragic I should have sympathy for people who support him.

As you might imagine that's not very compelling, and even if it were, it's just an appeal to emotion... and since you like that, how about this? I recall in the comment section of that story a Trump supporter saying the husband deserved it because he was trying to make Trump look bad. What a nice guy.

You busybodys want to tell me (and others) what we can and can't say while Trump's literally killing people with his words. He has an audience of millions thanks to the media and places like Twitter. For the last 4 years they've been complicit.

Maybe you people should mind your own business and focus on the real problem.

I read this thing online and it said that you could bye drones that fly 130m high and 2.4m wide for about 50 dollars.
llama44

2.4 meters wide huh? Doesn't seem very far.

But I guess you're an American so you think "m" mean miles.

If Trump had posted here saying that injecting bleach is a viable treatment that deserves research, I'd have already blocked him wink.png.  I'm just saying don't spread the crazy around.

I seriously wish, HOPE is a better word, those here wake up to the truth of who their image and likeness truly is than build fears of garbageco19 crapolla and pick up the greatest Book ever to be published, and realize THEIR TRUE POTENTIAL, that is by abiding to such it’s beautiful spiritual intelligence that entirely removes all false claims that only are worldly, and it is extremely sad this BOOK is forbidden to debate or discuss WHEN IT IS ONLY FOR THEIR GOOD !

Now, no debating is allowed

In January, Health and Human Services secretary Alex Azar tapped Brian Harrison to lead the agency’s day-to-day response to COVID-19.

Harrison, 37,a dog breeder by trade, ran the company Dallas Labradoodles from 2012-2018 before joining the administration in 2018 as Azar’s deputy chief of staff.

That's right, The Trump Admin Hired a Dog Breeder to Run Its Coronavirus Task Force

Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment.

Harrison is said to have managed the early response to the virus before the task force was handed off to Vice President Mike Pence in late February. HHS's role in managing the health crisis included gathering resources from several key public health agencies.

Ok, apparently that story is overblown.

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2020/04/23/no-trump-did-not-put-a-labradoodle-breeder-in-charge-of-covid-19-response/

 

Harrison graduated from Texas A&M in 2004 with a degree in economics, and headed to Washington. He soon landed at the Social Security Administration.

 

. . . he was never in charge of pandemic containment strategy.

He was, rather, assigned a typical role for a cabinet secretary’s chief of staff, serving as aide de camp on a task force run by his boss, Alex Axar

I wish they wouldn't embellish stuff like this, it makes cries of "fake news" really believable.

Although at the same time... the 2nd article I posted is really light on the details. What was Harrison's job exactly? What did he do? It says things like "he worked for Dick Cheney" and "he’s outstanding, disciplined, really thoughtful. He’s just good at what he does.”

 

Ok, but what the hell does he do? It never says.

WTF part 2:

No jail time, not even a fine.  They donated the hand sanitzer, which will be a loss, but a loss claimable on next year's taxes...

“Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. And I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but we’re going to test it,” Trump said. “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, either through the skin or some other way.”
As Bryan looked on uncomfortably, the president went on to speculate about the possibility of using disinfectants as a treatment.
“And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it 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 does a tremendous number on the lungs,” Trump continued.
“It would be interesting to check that. That you’re gonna have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me, so we’ll see.”
Asked directly whether Trump’s suggestion that injecting bleach or using light to treat COVID-19 made sense, Bryan said his laboratory was not pursuing those ideas.

How can anybody that went through even elementary school science think that you can inject bleach or disinfectant into a human being's lungs to cure them of something?

Indeed Trump is not alone by not being educated on biology and science in general so we should be very careful and challenge them strongly! 

Too many fear Trump! or even worst they think he is great!

   Maybe we should start a trophy thread for members who put "Tide" pods in their mouth......Its OK david......the President said we can do it. wink.png
