Oh Wonder - Lonely Star is the song of the day and this is the OPEN THREAD for right now . . .
Bewbs and science. Very smart!
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE Trump is going to try to delay the Election!
ReplyDeleteAnd he's going to rave about "Voter Fraud" when he loses, and file a lawsuit, and try to stay in Office, and probably declare Martial Law (or try to) and in the end lock himself inside the Oval Office!
What other reaction to losing could anyone expect from an Egotistical Man-Child?
Jesus the left is so insane, do they ever get tired of being manipulated and lied to.
Deletetrump is the only one trying to get things open and back to normal.
Any rational person can see that it's the left and the lackey media who are trying to drag this fake media panic plague out for as long as they can.
Nah. He won fair and square the first time and he will again. Who needs to do fraud when the Democrats' shenanigans, incompetence, and constantly insulting half the electorate is good enough?
DeleteOf course he'll win, and the Dems will re-elect him.
So are you saying that, if Trump loses the Election, he will just accept the results and leave Office quietly and with dignity?
DeleteAnd you claim "the Left" is delusional!
1132 - you have confused trump with the hilda beast...what you are witnessing is her still "resisting" the election results. So far we have had to endure the russia hoax, impeachment, endless investigations, and now this just because the left cannot accept it lost in 2016.
DeleteClinton an Gore had plenty of grounds to wage lawfare but they couldn't be bothered. Biden is the same little bitch for the right wing.
DeleteThis is just an attempt by the dems to get out in front by projecting their own diabolical scheming.
DeleteThe dems will keep delaying by pushing back their convention so there will be no time for senile joe to debate.
They will literally do anything to try to give him any chance.
Once again "Fake News Fox News" stabs the President in the back by actually printing what he said rather than what his "handlers" say he said.

Trump lied; 50,000 Americans died. Worst unemployment since the Great Depression. No promised test kits available. No vaccine available as promised, either.
ReplyDeleteNew business now opening in Kansas City! Stop by your nearest Flu Klux Klan medical supply location for proven disinfectant lung injections and Clorox bleach tablets.
For a limited time it's buy one disinfectant injection get a free invasive UV light treatment. Supplies are limited. Act now!
Thank you, Kansas City, for making us the #1 supplier of non-medical approved coronavirus treatments!*
* Due to pending litigation, we no longer sell the once popular and highly suggested coronavirus hydroxychloroquine blister packs as seen during recent presidential press briefings and Fox News.
I think what hurts your trolling game is the poor grammar, weird little nicknames, and slippery grasp of available facts. I mean, insulting Trump and obsessing about Trump is literally the only thing you do. We expect improvements.

Thanks for being a dedicated Deplorable reader. MAGA!

DeleteDebunking The Hydroxychloroquine "Controversy" - Media Full-Court Press Continues Against "Trump-Touted" Drug
Update (1130ET): It appears there is a full court press against hydroxycholoroquine this morning as the media has jumped all over a report from JAMA that at first glance sounds very ominous but in fact is related to a derivative drug - chloroquine diphosphate
How safe and effective are 2 different regimens of chloroquine diphosphate in the treatment of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)?
Conclusions and Relevance:
The preliminary findings of this study suggest that the higher CQ dosage should not be recommended for critically ill patients with COVID-19 because of its potential safety hazards, especially when taken concurrently with azithromycin and oseltamivir. These findings cannot be extrapolated to patients with nonsevere COVID-19.
Sounds very ominous and in fact was headlined on CNBC thus: "the primary effect of using the drug that was touted by President Trump is death" in an outrageous lie.
To be clear - Chloroquine Diphosphate is the fish tank cleaner; hydroxychloroquine is the one they should have tested (and the one that President Trump has "touted" as the media is so happy to say.
JAMA even brings up the difference in their report -
Recent publications have drawn attention to the possible benefit of chloroquine
diphosphate (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for the treatment of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
For example, it wasn’t randomized; by its own admission, hydroxychloroquine was given to sicker patients, closer to death, when we know HCQ works best when given early on. And zinc, a key component to its efficacy, wasn’t administered. Nor was azithromycin in a number of cases.
Right now, the “HCQ shows no benefit” claim appears more an intentional narrative than a science-backed finding.
In fact, there is growing empirical evidence, notably in France and Costa Rica, that it can work amazingly well when applied under the right conditions.
In other words, they are using this bullshit science for political purposes.
For now, it seems we remain best served by keeping our eyes open and doing our own investigation versus relying on what the media is telling us.
Sorry, Deplorable. All lies as usual.
DeleteFDA Issues Warning Against Use of Hydroxychloroquine Outside of Hospital
The Food and Drug Administration on Friday issued a warning against prescribing hydroxychloroquine to patients infected with the deadly coronavirus outside of hospitals or clinical trials.
The drug, an anti-malarial medication that the FDA said causes heart risks that are too great to justify use on COVID-19 outside hospitals, has been repeatedly touted by President Donald Trump as a promising cure. The warning comes after “serious” poisoning and deaths were reported, the FDA said.
“The FDA is aware of reports of serious heart rhythm problems in patients with COVID-19 treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine, often in combination with azithromycin,” the FDA wrote Friday. “We are also aware of the increased use of these medicines through outpatient prescriptions. Therefore, we would like to remind health care professionals and patients of the known risks associated with both hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine.”
Used outside of hospitals..duh..how is this suppose to help you?
DeleteThe doctors who are treating patients at the hospitals say it is effective when used with zinc.
The so called studies the media feeds you either involved already gravely sick patients, gave the patients lethal doses and/or did not use in conjunction with zinc.
The warning not to drink bleach is for the liberals and TDS victims who would do so only in some misguided attempt to prove the president wrong.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who watched the briefing or read the actual transcript putting everything in context knows that the president was merely discussing possibilities and was advocating that medical researchers look into additional treatments. Nowhere did he recommend anyone ingest or inject themselves with disinfectants or bleach.
This is just another story that shows the dishonesty of the MSM and further reason not to trust anything you read or hear from the MSM.
Nope. Never suggested injecting disinfectant into the lungs.
Delete"I see the disinfectant that 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? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that." -- Donald J Trump
Oh geez thanks for that snippet of a whole conversation, sure does put everything in context.
DeleteIf you were not such a dullard you might be able to comprehend that he was wondering if we could do "something like that" - which a thinking person would wonder yeah is there a treatment "like that."
PS some medicines are inhaled...asthma medicines are inhaled as a mist directly into the lungs.
If it were up to the libertards there would be no medical advancement or inquiry into treatments other than waiting to get the gates injections.
^^^Sure thing pal. My understanding is today, his explanation was, he was being sarcastic.
DeleteHere's a thought, how about this fucking moronopotamaus of a POTUS shuts the fuck up about any medical or drug advice from here on out? You think that would make sense or is that too much to ask dumb dumb? You know, leave the medical advice to, you know, people who study it and practice it for a living.
120 Your president was merely answering questions posed to him by the press. He answered as best he could with a thoughtful response that did not dodge the question like so many career politicians do.
DeleteSo the only issue left is how much longer you are going to willingly be lied to and manipulated by the press and dem.s.
Some of us are woke enough to see when we are being lied to and manipulated and can look at things objectively. You have a long ways to go, Fren.
STFU. Trump thinks he's an expert in everything. Don't even act like he doesn't believe that.
DeleteIf I was asked that question, I know what I'd say, "I have no idea, let me refer you to Dr. Birx as she is my expert on this".
Get the fuck on outta here with your woke, objective bullshit. You take that tray of dog shit Trump serves and eat it up with a smile covered in poop. I watched his presser, and he thought he was being all smart and shit. He's a fucking narcissist.
hey 409 brother, it's OK, I am woke as woke can be to the lackey media and their lies and manipulation. Are you not woke?
DeleteLOL calling anyone a narcissist, who the fuck isn't, especially any career politician or real estate mogul - that's not the point though, the point is he was answering questions posed to him and offering possible solutions - he never said for people to do it - he suggested the medical researchers look into it. if you can't see the difference, then I cannot help you.
I am an expert on dimwits like you, I once believe the news was actually there to objectively report the unbiased news, then I became woke, so listen up sweety, the media and dem.s are lying to you and laughing about how readily you lap it up.
From a Fren.
Leave it to the media to irresponsibly take President Trump out of context and run with negative headlines. Lots of experts are bouncing all sorts of ideas around to deal with this virus and the media clown show instead of printing what is said are making up crap to distort what was said.
ReplyDeleteNobody told anybody to go inject a fucking thing into your body. Bill Bryan, the head of the science and technology directorate at the Department of Homeland Security, presented the findings of the federal government's study on sunlight, humidity and temperature's effect on the coronavirus -- as well as various disinfectants on the virus when it is on surfaces
TRUMP LASHES OUT AT WASHINGTON POST'S PHILIP RUCKER AT BRIEFING: 'TOTAL FAKER'
"I'm the president and you are fake news. And you know what I'll say to you? I'll say it very nicely," Trump said. "You ready? It's just a suggestion from a brilliant lab by a very, very smart, perhaps brilliant man. He's talking about sun. He's talking about heat. And you see the numbers. So that's it. That's all I have. I'm just here to present talent. I'm here to present ideas because we want ideas to get rid of this thing. And if he does good and if sunlight is good, that's a great thing as far as I'm concerned."
If the country is under a quarantine effect or order then delaying the elections till people can go to the voting polls make perfectly good sense. As one clearly can see most you readers in here and the country lack having a lot of good sense.
Read Fox News, they printed what he said - all of what he said (TREASON!), he said that UV Rays should be tested, by injection or some other way. By INJECTION? Like filling up a syringe with Ultraviolet Light and poking the needle under the skin?
DeleteGENIUS!
Eirthe say all he said or say none you fusking asshat. Just like the media you only print what he said in a manner to support your hate. Man you're a Class A Moron.
DeleteOur POTUS is sharing ideas fed to him by the so called experts and so far not seen you have a fucking idea one other than to lie and spread hate.
^^^^^Sorry for spelling errors my speech to text acting up.
DeleteTrump is a rambling, incoherent buffoon making no sense while instilling fear and panic on the nation.
DeleteHere in Sweden we inject bleach all the time and nothing jjsisgwcw hshsisns djsownw sjs8ebeveveise7ey33be7
ReplyDeleteSweden truly is ahead on this fake plague. It did pretty much nothing and is no worse off and did not have to destroy its economy.
DeleteSwitzerland is open back up too with kids returning to school.
Thanks for helping to get the truth out.
Sweden and Switzerland have health systems that actually help people, you moron, not just such up as much money as possible.
Delete1247 is that also true of brazil, which is doing nothing and is doing pretty well with only 3k deaths of a population of 214 million.
DeleteFace reality, you have been manipulated and lied to by the MSM and dem.s...the only question now is whether you are going to continue being a hapless idiot.
Brazil tried to perform a Clinical Test of the "miracle Drug" Trump was pimping but had to stop, as the heart damage it causes was killing off their test subjects.
DeleteIf there is one thing I do not appreciate it is the lack of clarity in reporting statistics, numbers, and facts. Throughout this entire coronavirus pandemic, we have been fed numbers suggesting millions, then hundreds of thousands would die as a result of this scourge called COVID-19. We were fed words such as “cases” yet we were rarely told about who and how many were recovering.
ReplyDeleteThen came the well-marketed soundbite remedies, “social distancing” and “flatten the curve.” We stay like lemmings and have relegated our rights, freedoms, liberties, and doggone common sense to folks because they had titles and said they were experts. Well, we once again have been reminded that self-proclaimed “experts” can indeed be wrong. It’s a funny thing, experts rarely apologize for being wrong.
These experts and their numbers drove elected officials and politicians to make decisions. And, when decisions are not based upon sound logic, numbers, and instead use a common core math philosophy, then you get bad decisions. Throughout this pandemic there has always been a missing statistic, report, number, analysis…a demographic breakdown and articulation of associated health issues with each person, supposedly reported to have died because of COVID-19.
A new study by a medical journal revealed that most of the people in New York City who were hospitalized due to coronavirus had one or more underlying health issues.
Health records from 5,700 patients hospitalized within the Northwell Health system — which housed the most patients in the country throughout the pandemic — showed that 94 percent of patients had more than one disease other than COVID-19, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Data taken from March to early April showed that the median age of patients was 63 years old and 53 percent of all coronavirus patients suffered from hypertension, the most prevalent of the ailments among patients. In addition, 42 percent of coronavirus patients who had body mass index (BMI) data on file suffered from obesity while 32 percent of all patients suffered from diabetes.
The study also revealed that the overwhelming majority of patients who were on ventilators eventually died, and those who did more often had diabetes. Data gathered from 2,634 patients who either died or were discharged from the hospital showed that 12 percent of them were placed on ventilators and of those who were, 88 percent of them died.
Having serious comorbidities increases your risk,” said Karina Davidson, one of the study’s authors and senior vice president for the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, which is part of the Northwell Health system, according to reports by Time. “This is a very serious disease with a very poor outcome for those who have severe infections from it. We want patients with serious chronic disease to take a special precaution and to seek medical attention early, should they start showing signs and symptoms of being infected. That includes knowing that they’ve been exposed to someone who has this virus.”
So, let me put this into a vernacular that we simple, common folks can appreciate. COVID-19 is not a “cause of death.” COVID-19 enhances the chance of death for those who are already suffering from major health issues, such as this study presents. As I have stated previously, there is a big difference between “dying because of something” and “dying with something.” Let me reiterate, one of those so-called “experts,” Dr. Deborah Birx admitted such two weeks ago during one of the coronavirus daily briefings, which I do not even watch anymore. stating that they are designating any death of a person with COVID-19 as a COVID-19 death.
TLDR.
DeleteIf you want people to read what you write on this post, limit your post to 25 words. Otherwise its intellectual masturbation.
Listen to @2:30, poster @11:46, he's an expert on masturbation.
DeleteIf he says yours is too long, he should know, he's pulled a zillion of them.
Hey, Libtards. President Donald Trump is fighting this invisible enemy one disinfectant injection at a time. I'm volunteering as the first recipient of this miracle cure. If you don't like it, GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY! MAGA!
ReplyDeletePlease drink the bleach-aid ASAP.

ReplyDeleteAllen, c'mon man. You really think anyone is going to read that diatribe?
ReplyDeleteI bleached my asshole recently, does that count?
ReplyDeleteYes, you are now immune.
DeleteWhy delay the election, it should be cancelled out of concern for public health. Trump would technically still have another term left in 2024.
ReplyDeleteMAGA 2024!
Jesus christ, are you are a jedi master, do you give lessons in trolling?
DeleteDemocrats are so fucking stupid that you must draw them a picture or they take everything out of context.
ReplyDeleteI read Trumps comment,and be was just,conjecturing that it would nice if we had a vaccine that killed corona virus germs in our lungs like Lysol kills corona virus germs.
At no time did he say people should inject or consume Lysol or Clorox.
I guess Democrats are so fucking stupid you have to watch every word you say or they will start drinking Lysol.
I guess Trump should do like Obama did, just robotically read from a teleprompter.
Yeah man, that's why everyone tunes into the Trump pressers! They need a good joke while the economy goes to shit and the death toll rises! Ah, the fucking sarcasm. Man, Trump, he's so good at it bro! It's a good thing we have a great funny dude in the WH while he runs the country into the ground! Fuck yeah! MAGA you muther fuckers!

Most Americans with IQ's above 40 understand having a dementia-addled dufus who pisses his diaper and recommends injecting Clorox into your lungs to kill a virus, is a fucking joke.
