Do you mean common sense like suggesting drinking bleach to clean the Covid in your system?

Don’t want to make a habit of defending Trump but I don’t think he mentioned injecting bleach. Link I remember watching this live and laughing at him trying to discuss different experimental medical treatments… definitely not his wheelhouse

I remember his comments about UV light as a potential treatment for Covid led me to this neat study a few years ago Link

He used the word “disinfectant.” The disinfectant he was talking about was bleach, which had been mentioned in a briefing he just attended.

“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 it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”

I thought he was remarking on the efficacy of the disinfectant in killing covid and was asking if there was a way to cleanse the body in a similar way internally (like the uv light).

I said this in another thread. America died Tuesday.

I've heard this a great deal since the election from a whole lot of people. I think it's a very widespread feeling since the election among liberals and even some moderates. Just total disgust at what this election reveals about the country, mixed in with sadness and fear for the future, especially if they have young kids or grandkids. Just a sad state of affairs all around.

 

[Mulberry Heel]

Damn I am good then…Glad to know…

God bless America..

You really sound like a Christian all right. I'm sure Jesus would be proud.

Democrats have a chance here to really make a big change, because they need to stop trying to court every single little group with all these little bullshit messages, and start trying to court all Americans.

I heard this on a podcast and checked it out myself. If you look on the DNC website, they actually have a page that lists the groups that they "serve". Who we serve - Democrats

If someone were to look at that list and not feel like they fall into one of those groups, is it any wonder that they would feel like the Democratic Party isn't for them? In an environment where every vote matters, to create such a list is amazingly tone deaf. The Democratic Party should be looking to serve All Americans, which to be fair was KH's message.

I'm a middle age white guy and I voted for Clinton, Biden and Harris. But when I look at the Democratic Party, it looks like the women and minority party that doesn't look too much like it is looking to serve my interests. That is ok, I can afford to vote for a party that isn't really looking out for me but supports things that I believe in and whose policies are better for America in my view. Not everyone can afford that. I have family members who see a party that is looking to help 'not them'. I don't necessarily agree with their point of view on who the Democratic Party policies actually help, but I understand how it seems to them.

The guy on the podcast said something interesting, that the white working class wasn't necessarily running to the GOP, rather they were just running away from the Democratic Party and the GOP is the only other option.

What sort of things would working class voters like to see? Some possibilities:

1. A big manufacturing bill
2. An even bigger infrastructure bill
3. Bailing out the Teamsters pension plan

That would be a good start, if they hadn’t already just been done during Biden’s term. We’ll have to come up with some new ones.

Maybe we could make eggs free?

What do the Dems do in NC Statewide elections ? they seem to win the top of the ticket pretty regularly in what is basically a Red state

It’s only red due to Gerrymandering…it’s actually quite purple

 

[Callatoroy]

9 times out 10, appeals to common sense are the last resort when there is nothing else. Occasionally not, but usually "common sense" is what people say to when it's clear their interlocutor is correct and they have no response.

Is it 9 out of 10? Are you sure it’s not 6 out of 10? Can you provide a link? Otherwise you are just making shit up.

Well he certainly wasn’t suggesting to actually inject bleach but that doesn’t provide the narrative this board needs to fuel their TDS. Doesn’t give them the high that “rapists and murderers” do but what can one expect when their info comes from buzzFeed.

Actually the bleach part came out of Trump's mouth.

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in 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 it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."

 

[OGtruthhurts]

If yall could just take a step back from your party fever you would realize just how insanely similar both parties are. Same ole bs from both sides while your candidates rob us blind.

Not remotely the same as saying trump is saying we should inject bleach. He is using it as an example hence the “something like that” and then the reference to the light. But again when the quality of your news media is that of buzzFeed what do you expect. Apparently the complete loss of all rational thought is a byproduct of TDS.

Straight out of his mouth, dumbass, word for word. Your reading and reasoning skills are in a race to the bottom although reasoning has a big head start.

Fwiw, I don't even know what Buzzfeed is and have maybe read one Huffington Post article in my life. I like my news like my whiskey, straight with no chaser.

Guys, we need to be more nuanced in what we say. You know, like Callatoroy.

Such dishonesty.

 

[ChileG]

My nuanced take on Trump and his disinfectant remark…
He sounded like a complete dumbass when he said it.

 

[Centerpiece]

Does anyone else feel like they are living in a different country now that Trump has won? This just doesn’t feel like the USA anymore. I feel like a stranger in a new world.

66% of eligible voters cast a ballot this year. That means exactly 34% (roughly 1/3) of the voting public didn't bother to vote.
Of those who did vote, Trump won roughly 34% of the 66% - Harris won roughly 32% - give or take (final numbers aren't in yet, but I've simplified to make the math easier).

So at the end of the day, 2/3 of the voters in the U.S. DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP. Of course you can also say a little more than 2/3rds didn't vote for Harris either... but the numbers don't lie.

Trump won by a little bit in a free and fair, closely monitored election. And there will be a peaceful transfer of power, and Harris has already conceded.

Unlike 4 years ago... which was also a free and fair, closely monitored election (that included numerous re-counts and debunked lawsuits claiming other wise). One can easily say the 2020 election was even more closely monitored than this one, with votes meticulously hand counted, etc... in several instances.

The facts and numbers don't lie. Trump and maga won, and they are in power for the next 4 years. Will they turn the U.S. into the Handmaid's tale? Will we withdraw from NATO? Will Musk be allowed to tank the economy? Will Putin stop with Ukraine or is Eastern Europe in deep doo doo now?

Whatever happens, Trump and maga do not have the voice of 2/3rds of the American people behind them - not from the ballot boxes anyway...

 

[ChileG]

Such dishonesty.

Yeah, it is obvious that when he said “injection,” it was in reference to “disinfectant.”
But, because he qualified that idiotic comment with “or something like that,” the acolytes want us to believe he didn’t actually mean to inject anything and certainly not disinfectant, but was just asking in general if perhaps there is anything we can do.
So, the best reading through MAGA glasses is that he didn’t really say anything at all. He was just musing out loud that maybe there is “something” we could do. That kind of brilliance could only come from a man whose uncle was a professor at MIT.
Oh, by the way, we did have “something like that” that we could inject that would help with COVID, but the dumbass MAGAs wouldn’t take it.

 

[SmilingJack]

Why does the MAGA crowd still seem so pissed off and whiny? They won and don't even act like it as they have a grievance addiction that doesn't take well to it now being their responsibility to fix shit. After a decade of tearing down people and half the country they just want vengeance rather than fixing what they complain about.
Weird crowd that hasn't changed.
