    Hating someone generally takes energy I'm not willing to invest, but Trump really is persuasive in this way. I hope he dies choking on Pence's dick. On camera. During a rally.
  • Having been on more meds for the old bi-polar for about two weeks, I recently dreamed that my wife told me that Trump had resigned and Pence was President. My wife refused to give me detailed information on what had happened, and this was the emotional centre of the dream. But I was able to glean that Moscow Mitch and a few of his pals determined that Trump's handling of Covid meant that electorally he was a liability and they made Trump and offer he couldn't refuse.

    This dream was so vivid and my feelings so intense that it took me a few minutes after I woke to convince myself that Trump was indeed still President.

  • Maybe you was a-prophesying, in your dream? Maybe the Sperrit was upon you?

    I wonder what the offer might be that the Demented Despot couldn't refuse...
    :naughty:

    So Donald Trump had a dream in which he was in a room with every American President who ever lived.

    He approached George Washington and asked, "How can I make America great again?" George replied, "Easy. Just never tell a lie." "To h*** with that!" Trump retorted. "Lies are what I do best!"

    He then approached Franklin D. Roosevelt with the same question. "Easy!" Roosevelt replied. "Just help the poor." "Forget it!" Trump replied. "What have the poor ever done to help me?"

    Finally he approached Abraham Lincoln. "How can I make America great again?" Trump asked Lincoln. "Easy!" Lincoln replied. "Just go to the theater."
  • *loud but appreciative groans*
  • A wonderful new take on an old joke!

    Tax fraud is a good one, if they had him bang to rights.

    It's what finally did Al Capone in, after all.

    Oh my goodness, that's absolutely precious! Thanks for sharing it.

    Excellent!
  • Thank you @Boogie That reduced me, the unexpected guest and the builders to helpless, cackling laughter.
  • I found it poignant, too - being so close to the truth...

    But funny, yes, and brilliantly done!

    I see it's received over a million views already. Wonderful! The Democrats should use it as their one and only campaign ad, played on every TV station (even Faux News -- **especially** Faux News) every hour on the hour from now until Election Day.
  • Who knoweth? Who shall say he knoweth?

    It may well rid the Unfortunate States of America of the ghastly Orange Oaf once and for all.

    A consummation devoutly to be wished for.

    That is really well done. Vote him away!
  • It also reminded me of the musical "Two By Two", which is about Noah and his family. (Comedy, with Danny Kaye as Noah.) There's a song--"Put Him Away"--where his family wants to do just that. Of course, *Noah* didn't need to be put away, old coot though he was.

    (Couldn't find a video, and the audio I found was scratchy.)
  • Take a very deep breath, people. The strangely coiffed one has got the solution to Covid-19 that has eluded the lesser brains of the world's scientific community - all we need to do is this and our problems will be over.

    Honestly, how does such a colossal moron get shoes on his feet in the morning?

    Or, coming from a rich family, has he always had help?
  • If someone injected the mad potus with bleach, he'd change colour, and no-one would recognise him.
    :mrgreen:

    O if only this lunatic would just GO AWAY....
  • Such comments are horrifying. Deeply scary.
  • Yes, because there are numpties, fruitloops, and nutjobs who actually believe the insane drivel spouted by the mad potus, and will now go out and drink bleach...
    :fearful:

  • Which I wouldn't wish on anyone. And then there are overstretched medical staff who will have to deal with the results....
  • Oh, and one of his scientific advisers (kid you not) is placing his faith in sunlight to deal with Covid-19 because, as we all know, UV light kills viruses, right?
  • orfeoorfeo Shipmate
    The trick is getting the UV light all the way into your lungs. FFS.
  • Which is why T suggested a UV injection.
  • Well, if he's willing to see if it works on him...
    :mrgreen:

    O wait - he hasn't got Covid-19, being the Chosen One Of God, and therefore immune. Or is it his bigly whatever-it-is that's saving him?
    :disappointed:

  • He's supposedly been tested twice. No COVID-19.

    In COVID-19's defense, I wouldn't want to be around him either.
  • :lol:

    Well, the virus is pretty smart, according to the mad potus...
  • Pharmacists everywhere will be dealing with with people today who want a bottle of UV and a syringe.
  • orfeoorfeo Shipmate
    Look, I think there's an argument that if we can just tweak this pandemic so that risk of fatality is inversely correlated to intelligence, the survivors will be quite happy.

    Where can I find a Lysol and Dettol safe infection site?


    And how do I get this lamp into my ass?

    Covidfefe.
  • Covidfefe.

    :lol: :lol: :lol:


  • As a child in the 40s I often had bronchitis again and again and when the doctor had my mother bring me in for what were called sun lamp treatments I did get better. I have no idea what the lamp was but I do know that it worked and I was sick way less often.

    And we all know that nobody in the Sunshine State has Covid-19, right?? So it has to be true!!!
  • Oh, and one of his scientific advisers (kid you not) is placing his faith in sunlight to deal with Covid-19 because, as we all know, UV light kills viruses, right?

    Sure it does. Light at 254 nm is often used as a germicide, and is quite effective against viruses. I have no doubt that it would happily kill off SARS-CoV-2. Light at this wavelength (UV-C) is also completely absorbed by the atmosphere, so "going outside" doesn't help you find some.

    Although UV-C is mostly absorbed by the dead surface layer of skin, prolonged exposure has been shown to cause skin and eye damage, although it generally heals in a couple of days. Long-term significant exposure is likely to cause skin cancer.

    Longer-wavelength UV (UV-A and UV-B) is present in sunlight, and there are studies that show that viruses live less long on a surface under uv-b light than in the same conditions without it. Not usefully short enough that you'd want to choose not to clean the surface with Lysol or something, though.

    So to me, this falls into the category "sort of true, but basically useless".
  • So Trump and the health adviser from Homeland Security got it right, but only if you're a park bench!
  • I particularly liked this on Yahoo
    Professor Rob Chilcott, Professor of Toxicology at the University of Hertfordshire, said: “Injecting bleach or disinfectant at the dose required to neutralise viruses in the circulating blood would likely result in significant, irreversible harm and probably a very unpleasant death.
    “It would not have much effect on viral particles within the cells and so, in that regard, would be rather pointless. Such an act of stupidity would certainly qualify for a Darwin Award!”

    Somehow the idea of Trump qualifying himself for a Darwin award is... satisfying?
  • The man has surely now proved himself to be completely bonkers.

    Is it not time for someone to bring on the strait-jacket, and carry him away to somewhere secluded, and quiet?

    Such as a bunker, deep beneath a desert, with no access to Twitter, but lots of tasty bleach.
  • I just wanna see him invent a way to stuff the sun down your lungs.
  • The virus is active in warm climate places so that should show the sun does not kill it. I just want Trump to go away. Just go away.
  • I can't find it now, but I've seen a video on YouTube of someone arguing that, in her state, they don't need to self isolate. Her reasons: they get plenty of sunshine there, and no one drinks Corona beer.

    My mother's first fiance had TB of the skin and was prescribed a sun lamp. His mother thought more would be better, He died of cancer.
