I'm giving up the IPA and going on the IPA. Bigly.

I think I've seen that film
A little more on trump pushing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment

I find myself asking, does he own an industrial chemical company, or sunbed manufacturer, or similar?
I wonder what fresh new delights tomorrow's Moron Show will bring?
I....I....I...really have words except **** me!

"I never said that", "you're fake news", "I don't even know Barry Scott"
Besides, he’s not wrong. Injecting yourself with disinfectant will kill the virus. By killing the host.
Bigly.
He's a bit like 'The Wise Woman' from Blackadder II in his range of advice...
I just want to be ahead of Boris in the queue for the Wire Brush and Dettol

SubscriberI….I….I…really have words except **** me!
Think that sums it up quite nicely.
A BBC reporter was in the room last night asking questions. Not noticed him before. He was the one asking about Boris and would the pandemic put at risk the validity of the US elections in November.
You mean Jon Sopel, BBC North America Editor for a few years now; regularly on main news bulletins, both TV & radio.

Don't know why, I just assumed the WH press folks were all US media.
Meanwhile, Giuliani seems to be having a hard time understanding the concept of something being contagious.

I thought Giulliani was more intelligent than that!!!
So that’s why I’m fat! It’s cause I was stood near a lardo in Greggs, and the chippy, and the pub...
I thought Giulliani was more intelligent than that!!!
yeah that's just a dead cat.
I think the president has taken out a disney subscription and is working his way through the marvel universe films, imagine a superhero with the power of UV light shooting from their eyes whilst releasing a stream of disinfectant from their bladder - surely that'd work against the virus?.
On a more serious note, I'm bigly looking forward to tonights press briefing.
Dettol co. have seen fit to issue a press release
Dettol didn't need to release such a statement, we just had the perfect opportunity to remove a swath of trump voters, i say crack on trumpers - go for it, mix it up and slurp that virus beating goodness down. .
Giuliani appears to be Trump's chief scientific advisor.
Silly us. We all took him out of context.

I’ve come up with a cure.
Cut your own head off*
*Consult with doctor before trying.
I wish the term fake news would just **** off once and for all. It sounds like something a ten year old would say.
In a couple of days (probably after tonight's press conference) it will all be forgotten about as he'll say/do something worse, again
There is no bottom
Can I just ask.......has he muttered anything madder than last nights statement? I mean he's had some real gems in the past, but this one, surely its the all time winner to date?
On a more serious note- just why? Why him? Why Boris? Just why?
We all took him out of context.
The absolute mental gymnastics the "intellectual" MAGA hats are going through is something to behold.
I don't really get what Scott Adams is up to. Also at the same time I have never seen so much smugness compressed into a single human being
It's the "UV light catheter" that Trump has researched apparently. Dr Birx hasn't, so he was asking her to.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He was just joking with us all (at a daily briefing to the nation regarding a global pandemic).
https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1253726184866811906
Sorry lads, you are all under the bus now. He was being sarcastic.
https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1253733969356558336
**** me.
Trump knows the Edinburgh defense?
So now we don't know if he was taken out of context, it was an IQ test, or he was just having a jolly jape with us?
Nothing like consistent messaging, is there?
* me too.
Why doesn't one of those WH reporters just stand up and call him out what he his. A big orange thick *. And then run.
He'll dismiss it as a lone corrupt journalist and his core will lap it up.
What's needed is the whole room to just get up and walk out every time he starts talking bollocks. Do that a few times live on TV and he may start to get a hint of the message.

But they won't. While don'tgiveafoxnews is around no-one else can walk out. It's an incredibly horrible place to be as a 'real' reporter. These are the most bizarre of times
I wish the term fake news would just **** off once and for all. It sounds like
something a ten year old would say.
Yes, it does. You seem surprised...
What’s needed is a great stand up comedian who’s good at taking down hecklers to disguise themselves as a journalist and just rip in to the stupid ****. Sarcasm my arse too, no chance he even knows what sarcasm actually is. God I hate him 😂
Yes, it does. You seem surprised…
Sadly it seems to be used by everyone now though. If it was just him it wouldn’t bother me as much because he’s clearly an idiot
I don’t really get what Scott Adams is up to. Also at the same time I have never seen so much smugness compressed into a single human being.
Before Trump I used to like Dilbert. Then Scott Adams really crawled out of the woodwork.
The whitehouse controls who is in the room to a large extent. Does nobody else remember one of the first things they did when coming to power was to restrict the more traditional news outlets and give more credentials to the right wing online hate baiters.
That was the time they could and should have made a stand, but they capitulated and now it is too late.
Trump now backtracking saying "I was being sarcastic"
Some of the more ‘enthusiastic’ Americans on other forums are lapping it up. We’re the mugs for not spotting the joke/sarcasm apparently.

Yep, me too. I read his blog for a while just to try and see the other side and to question my own viewpoint but in the end I just found it too unpleasant and unbearably smug

Yes because its perfectly okay for a major world leader to have some hi jinks and giggles at the biggest pandemic in decades, I can see how he wanted to lift the mood.
Scott Adams blocked me for telling him to "run off and play with your crayons" after i corrected him on a point after listening to his episode on the Joe Rogan podcast, i was so proud.

Absolutely spot on
Trump now backtracking saying “I was being sarcastic”
the Edinburgh defence?
spooky.
S’funny but you never see tj and trump in the same room (makes you think/look into it)
So what he is saying is that the rest of us, us lower forms of human life, are too stupid to understand when he, the great minded super-being, is being sarky, or having a jest. Yeah, that’s exactly how it is. We should all be grateful someone that wise is up there, in charge.
That would actually be stupider. Less insane, but far stupider and more irresponsible.
Toys out the pram mode engaged as press conference over in 30 mins, no questions taken from the press. Trump, Pence and a droid from the FDA attended so no adults in the room tnight to reassure the children, this was their big moment up on stage all alone, without the comforting familiarity of a nearby controlling adult and they blew dumb chicken shit chunks over any credibility then ran out the room to hide.
Tomorrow night the press should should walk out when trump attempts to speak.
Was Pence doing that usual emotionless Mona Lisa look whilst his boss runs the nation into the ground?
Well Trump's theory of Chloroquinine being a treatment has been dealt a blow:
Cure may be as bad as the virus?
So that's 2 out of 2 for his ideas already!
Have you seen the state of Biden? Trump will win again. Dems need to get their shit together.
the Edinburgh defence?
Trump said he was being sarcastic (apparently that's a good idea when you're a world leader during the worst pandemic in living memory...)
But then that Dr Birx woman was on some US news channel later saying that it was new information that the president had seen and he liked to talk that through out loud, digest that information etc.
That prompted a further wave of criticism on Twitter, this time aimed at her for defending him. And for not being able to get their lies coordinated.
Poop - wonder if Pence is a good poker player; totally expressionless.
Having said that, given his religiosity and stance on moral issues I wouldn't surprised if he dis-approved of gambling.
Remember was it over a month ago when he was saying about their cases (currently on 15)could fall to zero in a “few days”.
I just don’t get why they aren’t just dragging him off, I can’t see history painting this well, just seems mad to have all those people in a room doing a nodding dog to whatever mad shit he comes out with.
ctk - I posted a couple of times about the Dems ditching Biden and running with Cuomo as their nominee, if the constitution allows.
Cuomo has previously said....not for me but he's shown he has the ability, he's in the public eye right now and has high approval ratings.
Just one press question to the FDA allowed last night. Birx and Fauci missing. Trump/Pence/FDA bloke just walked out after 20 mins.
WH press were tweeting they were being moved around (ones Trump doesn't like moved to the back of the room) but they refused. Some reports that Trump is going to stop doing the briefings unless there is some big (good?) news to report.
But then that Dr Birx woman was on some US news channel later saying that it was new information that the president had seen and he liked to talk that through out loud, digest that information etc.
So the fact that cleaning with disinfectant has a negative affect on the virus was new information to Trump, which he had just learnt about before the press conference?
I'm not sure why Dr Birx might think that suggestion is anymore reassuring.

it sounds more like her defending herself really. It wasn't new information from her or any of her advisors it came from a self-styled Archbishop and industrial bleach manufacturer
Grenon styles himself as “archbishop” of Genesis II – a Florida-based outfit that claims to be a church but which in fact is the largest producer and distributor of chlorine dioxide bleach as a “miracle cure” in the US. He brands the chemical as MMS, “miracle mineral solution”, and claims fraudulently that it can cure 99% of all illnesses including cancer, malaria, HIV/Aids as well as autism.
And while people band the word Dementia around in the relation to trump (presumably bleach doesn't cure that) Trumps problem with short term memory is really that the short term is all he grasps - his advisors are well aware that no matter what information you present him with what he takes away is the last thing someone says to him and the have to jockey to try and have that last word. But if he reads a tweet of glances at fox and friends between being briefed and speaking to the public then thats the last words he heard.
Lets keep in mind.... These people have killed children with this supposed 'cure'
ctk – I posted a couple of times about the Dems ditching Biden and running with Cuomo as their nominee, if the constitution allows.
This can't happen, can it? He was never a nominee, and they've just named the presumptive nominee? Or can they change their mind this late (I'm not up on how it all works in the US).
Piers Morgan's rehabilitation is nearly complete
https://twitter.com/TrumpsAlert/status/1253817261489451008?s=19
I think (stress on think) that it's the electoral colleges that actually decide the official nominee. Generally the colleges follow the popular vote in their particular state but there's no actual rule saying that they must do that but I've not heard of them doing so in recent years. Would have to look up when it last happened. It would obviously, being America, be subject to legal challenges. Look up "Faithless elector".
More likely would be Biden selecting Cuomo as his running mate for the vice presidency as that position isn't decided by the primaries and electoral colleges but by the presidential candidate and their political party.
Are there no sensible military leaders in the comically huge US military machine. Can one of them please arrange a coup?
Jamze & whitestone - I'm equally unclear about whether Cuomo could be appointed as the Dems nominee.
Biden as president would, I think, be for a single term only; Cuomo IMO would be good for two terms.
TLDR ...
What seems weird about this is he is killing his own voters.
Certainly on balance it seems like more Trump voters are going to try injecting bleach than non-Trump voters.

I have been on the receiving end of many slurs on here but that is a step to far
It looks like we are heading a similar way, BBC news reporting on a story and quoting No 10 spokesman attacking the press presumably because they don't like the criticism directed towards the government.
"He added: "'Public confidence in the media has collapsed during this emergency partly because of ludicrous stories such as this.""
I think public confidence in the news is higher than public confidence in our politicians!

If you keep on him a bit, he'll eventually claim it was a joke. 🙂

With regards to the military. The top bosses have already said that they would refuse an illegal order to launch nukes
I copied this from a Pam Ayres Twitter feed.
@PamAyres
At last, we have a cure for all!
Ailments large and ailments small,
Good health is not beyond my reach,
If I inject myself with bleach.
Radiant, I’ll prance along,
Every trace of limescale gone,
With disinfectant as my friend,
Like him,
I’m clean around the bend.
Blimey, when Pam Ayres is the cutting edge of political satire 😳
He seems to be in damage-limitation mode now. No briefings and furiously tweeting justifications for everything he's said and done. Yesterday's 'sarcastic' Nobel Prize tweet was another classic.
This one is interesting. A retweet, but he's implying that the Democratic States are under-reporting on cases (i.e. not doing the testing they could?) to keep the case fatality rate higher to keep the pressure up?

It’s not like we didn’t know that Trump was a blatant and unremorseful liar:
But the “it was sarcasm” defence is a new low.
Quite amazing to watch his supporters swiftly pivot (on Reddit, YouTube etc) from “it was a serious brainstorming question to his science advisor” to "it was clearly a sarcastic joke to reporters" 😳
If you missed it, we can only assume he was ranting about the Pulitzer Prize-winning NYT reporters, but got confused with the Nobel Prize and spelt that wrong anyway 🤦🏻♂️
