    Maybe the Trump supporters have all caught Covid and are feeling too under the weather to post, I'm sure there is a valid reason for them to have all suddenly disappeared.

    Haven't seem Joe anywhere on screens, for well over a month,even CNN.
    Can someone check he's still up and about, walking and breathing?

    Exactly - Why would Biden go on TV to convince people to vote for him when Trump is going on TV doing that job for him?

    And now Trump has announced daily "This is why you should vote for Joe Biden" sessions as part of his Covid19 update meetings.

    Now that's leadership and delegation - Getting someone else to do an effective job for you!!! :-)

    I dunno, I actually like the thread title and it ages remarkably with time :pac: I want to see it continue until November 4th with the crowning of Biden as president-elect

    The first presidential debate, President Trump against Joe Biden, will be held on Tuesday, September 29 at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.
    Should be interesting but I already predict either side will claim victory.

    Can't you check? Because I checked, and he was on television just last night.

    One wonders what you will say about this video? Or will you even have the guts to admit you watched it?

    Anyone else enjoying the fact that Trump and his marks have been trying to make congnitive ability an issue in this campaign?

    My favourite part was finding out that professionals decided that Trump needed to be given a really basic one where he had to identify animals and perform some other basic mental functions that an eight-year old could pull off.

    If that was as far as it all went, the ridicule could have ended there but Trump decided to tell the world that the test was really hard. Think about that for a second. That test isn't meant to be hard for a person of normal cognitive abilities - that what it's supposed to be testing for.

    And just when I thought that Trump had made enough of a tit of himself, he decided in typical Trumpian fashion that telling the world that he surprised the doctors by passing was a good idea.

    I know, I know. Trump's full of shít and he was probably full of shít when he said that the test was hard and that he surprised doctors by passing. All that tells us is that he is shít at being full of shít. In his shít-for-brains mind, he thought that this kind of bravado would impress people. Instead, all it told us, if you take it at face value, that he passed a really basic test that's given by doctors to people who demonstrate cognitive issues and those same doctors were surprised that he passed.

    It's a shame he can't do more rallies because I have no doubt that he'd repeat this same shíte again and keep the evidence of his own cognitive issues in the news cycle. Sure, his fans will whoop and cheer but they're not going to be enough to win it for him. If one prong in his electoral strategy is to convince people that he's in better cognitive shape than the other guy because of the other guy's well known stammer, then maybe others in his campaign should be given that test.

    to be fair that is one of the few times that trump has been honest.

    Anyone watching live the first of the new coronavirus press briefings?

    I predict it is more similar to a campaign rally
    I predict many mentions of "china virus"
    I predict some (unintentional) comedy from the silly head's mouth

    Isn't that saying that there wasn't a spike in cases after the protests because everyone else was staying at home? :confused:

    That's like saying there was no spike in deaths after a surge in drink driving, because everyone else stayed off the roads. It doesn't mean the initial action wasn't highly irresponsible.

    In an ideal situation I agree, no one would be protesting but this is seen as a life or death situation for many involved in the protests.

    I don't see it being highly irresponsible, as much risk mitigation was made as possible. I was out on several and they were all outdoor, around 99% mask wearing (masks given out free to those that didnt come with them), when possible everyone social distances, and they even hand out hand sanitiser, along with sun screen and water.

    Now compare that to Trump rallies or the bar situation in many States that have become hot spots, where they are indoor, limited to no mask wearing, and no social distancing. Now those situations are highly irresponsible.

    This is his first Coronavirus briefing since April 23, the day he was laughed out of the media cycle for suggesting we inject people with a disinfectant and using some unspecified means to expose the inside of the body to sunlight/UV light.

    "There's been a rumor that -- you know, a very nice rumor -- that you go outside in the sun or you have heat and it does have an effect on other viruses," Trump said, before asking coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx "to speak to the medical doctors to see if there's any way that you can apply light and heat to cure, you know, if you could."

    Trump then asked Birx if she "ever heard of the heat and the light" having an impact on viruses. She responded, "Not as a treatment," before Trump asked her again to look into it.

    Later, Trump again directed Birx to look into the potential for sunlight to be a cure. "I would like you to speak to the medical doctors to see if there's any way that you can apply light and heat to cure, you know, if you could. And maybe you can, maybe you can't."

    “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,” he said.

    “So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body,” the president said Thursday.

    You have to start with the classics. give the covidiots what they want.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin


    He said china virus three times in the first three minutes?

    Now, a big load of lies about the USA doing so much better than all other countries.

    Kayleigh's body language (over to the side) looks nervous.

    I am predicting he will leave the podium straight after and leave her for the questions

    They will likely all flee but who knows, it's Trump.

    I'm impressed he's lasted this long without going on a tangent about Biden.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    He's a bit off (6mths, upto current) with 'mortality rates', as a couple of sunny places are doing better, although record keeping in Mumbai might need some thought flexibility.
    Sweden appeared to have went with an early and sudden 'let-loose purge' approach on their old folks.

    Instead he repeatedly wished an alleged child trafficker well.

    That wouldn't have been on too many bingo cards, he is always one for surprises.

    The Lincoln Project ads just get better :D



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,725 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    All in all I think he was well prepped for this one and had been anticipating it for the last couple days, so it's no surprise. You'll likely see him get back into old form as these carry on though, as he gets bored of the daily prep or is distracted by some issue du jour and goes off on a tangent.

    The youth vote shouldn't need an ad to get out. And after the last 4 years of Trump, if they don't voted then fupp them.

    The Lincoln Project stuff isn't being aimed specifically at them anyway.

    The joys of the LP ads, this one is for the 40 somethings, the next will be for a different age/generation.
