    People are being so focused on the disinfectant being bleach or lysol, but one of the disinfectants that Bryan mentioned and that Trump was asking about putting into the body was alcohol, right?



    So maybe the cure for the coronavirus is Corona beer!

      Yet another example of Mr. Trump using the resources of the federal government to promote his campaign. Now he's having letters from him to stimulus recipients printed and mailed to "explain the stimulus." That's how you get around the problem that so many are getting it directly deposited and won't see his printed name on the checks.

      He's unbelievable...

        Sadly, after almost 4 years of it, this is - in fact -believable. Even predictable.

        That is, it is predictable that Donald Trump will engage in actions normally considered unconscionable, even unbelievable for a person occupying the office of President.

        And it is also predictable that fox and brieitbart will support it, and that his base, feeding on fox and breitbart, will join the chorus, forwarding and amplifying any internet idiocy related to it that comes their way as well.

          And - unfortunately - it has become normal and will be defended by his base.

                while defending him as much as one can given the circumstances ...

                MOST of the comments from the Trump band here have been about why it wasn't so bad after all.

                  When everything is made out to be the worst thing ever, nobody believes you or dismisses you when you may bring up something legitimate. Who would have thought that would happen?

                    I'm just not absolutely consumed with hatred for Trump, Jim -- he'll be out of office soon, and life will go on.

                    "The Trump band". Aren't you the guy who's constantly complaining about the denigration of others, Jim?

                        I play a mean air guitar and can lip sync pretty well.

                          Why is it so mean? Was it mistreated as a youth?

                            You do seem to think it's really really important to nitpick as to why his comments were only 8/10 bad and not 9/10 bad, for pages of posts, and in multiple threads.

                            You seem to lack self-awareness about what it says about you that you feel the need to do this.

                            You're a staunch defender of Trump in really small ways, always undermining as best you can any critiques of him (never the opposite), but then you turn around and basically deny that you do this. It's weird. Not only are you bizarrely (and inaccurately) nit-picky, always in Trump's favor, but you're in complete denial about it, and seem to be genuinely self-deluded into believing you're not defending Trump constantly.
                            "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
                            "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
                            "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

                              Yeah, I don't hate the guy, so I express opposition when psychotic accusations are made against him beyond his own incompetency, lies, nonsense, stupid remarks....
