ALL TRUMP!!! ALL THE TIME!!!

I know what he was referring to. Notice I did not say, "Because the NYDN reported it, the article is automatically trash." I read the article, found a number of logical fallacies, wrote a sentence about its confirmation bias, then called NYDN trash. This isn't hard.

Here are the sketchiest bits about the data they used:

• They took an oddly small time frame to use as reference (an 18-hour window).

• They compared it to an 18-hour window from the same date last year (a stupid comparison when people are now using disinfectants with much greater frequency for sanitation reasons).

• None of the self-reported cases were said to be for injection or any other kind of self-treatment of Covid-19.

And with all that in mind, they somehow made a case for the notion that Trump was responsible for the rise in reports.

I'm not questioning the validity of the article (it's ***), but I will question the why anyone gives even the slightest of *** about the content? Seriously, if people are doing this, *** let them, good riddance and get them out of the gene pool.

I can't believe anyone would honestly care about other people that may listen to Trump and may do something that would effectively be suicide. The guy in Arizona that ingested the aquarium cleaning tablet? Yeah, not a single *** given for him by me, good bye my dude, thanks for playing "world's dumbest human", you're a winner!

Let these morons ingest cleaning products, good riddance, because you know what? It's not liberals doing that, it's Trump supporters that would follow what Trump says.

Mapping Corruption:
The Interactive Exhibit

The Trump administration has brought its brand of corruption and self-dealing to every agency in the federal government, and it’s hard for anyone to keep on top of it all. We’ve mapped it out for you.
The American Prospect

Seems like we had some Nobel Prize winners that work for the NYT and WSJ last year, so, belated congrats to them!

Does the Nobel Prize still have meaning? I can't remember if the Nobel Committee recovered from jumping the shark or not.

Yes, however that is not the point.

Some have difficulty understanding how to stay on point. It just isn't in their nature.

As I said, subtlety isn't your strong suit. Lay off.

Not a chance. :D

Fair enough. /block :D

I love how Vic took your attempted goal post moving tactic and grounded you. /block accepted

Trump Shoots Down Allegation He May Delay Election Day, Calls Suggestion 'Propaganda'
Newsweek

How long until he claims either "I never said that" or "I was being sarcastic"?

He is correct when he says it was made up propaganda...made up by him.

Coronavirus: Trump 'can't imagine why' US disinfectant calls spiked
BBC

Republicans used to be big on personal responsibility....

But it was just sarcasm!

I'm sure the families of the 56k+ dead Americans are just giggling at the hilarity of his wit.

Trump cuts U.S. research on bat-human virus transmission over China ties

The National Institutes of Health on Friday told EcoHealth Alliance, the study’s sponsor for the past five years, that all future funding was cut.

He heard a conspiracy theory....

Live: Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany Holds First White House Briefing

She promised not to lie then immediately lied about the Flynn case. Great start.

She was being sarcastic

It's nice to see P&R maintaining a sense of maturity with all the recent removals. After all it's a step in the right direction. It's a step in the right direction after all! Any other Disney fans around?

Trump again shifts estimated US coronavirus death toll

So if 60,000 was a great success* will 90,000 be an even greater success?

Well, this thread is just a boring echo chamber now. Still a huge step up from what it was in recent weeks, so I guess that's a plus.

He just keeps doing dumber and dumber ***, the other side is just laying low cause it's more and more (clearly) indefensible.

Just wait for the next only mildly HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE thing and they'll come back guns blazin' acting like April didn't happen.

Nah, it's just not worth debating dumb memes and biased articles. I'll just /popcorn the Biden developments in the meantime.

I wouldn't say boring, just more intellectual. Sharing facts rather than conspiracy theories. A place where the adults can talk.

Yes but during the Brit invasion at least stuff was posted. It may not have been worthwhile stuff, but it was better than doldrums.

Intellectual?
