US Presidential Election 2024 - Trump vs ??? - Vote Hard with a Vengence

[KevinB]

Due to the obvious electoral implications SCOTUS may even intervene right after sentencing.

SCOTUS has said they will not intervene.

So the 'bleach press conference' during Covid was sarcasm? Oops.

Same with Ivermectin and Hurricane Sharpie, obviously.

I know people who swear to this day that Ivermectin cured them.

Or they got better.

Your response tells me you're just another victim of corrupt establishment and media lies. Anyone who actually watched that presser knows it went down like explained here:

Fact-check: Did Trump tell people to drink bleach to kill the coronavirus?

I know some people who have been saying natural immunity is no good and that its best to close the outdoors to prevent the spread of a viral infection.

Well, unless you count these sources as part of the "corrupt establishment," on the whole 2020 injection fracas, here's what was said, via CSpan ....

President Trump on "Injecting" Disinfectants

After Acting Homeland Security Under Secretary for Science and Technology William Bryan delivers remarks on tests his lab is conducting with the virus, including killing it with disinfectants and UV rays, President Trump asks him whether it is possible for this to be applied to humans via injection.

... and here's what was said from the POTUS45 White House archives (link also archived here):

Coming back to #WordsMatter, your fact check may be correct about drinking bleach, but so is this one on injecting disinfectant ....

Trump Once Asked if Injecting Disinfectant Could Be a COVID-19 Treatment?

The claim recirculated online after it was brought up again during the first presidential debate of the 2024 U.S. presidential cycle.

Not quite as clear cut as either of these memes, right?

If you say so. This level of over analysis is why we can't every have nice things.

Hey, I keep seeing all over the socials that we should know history as it really was and not sugar coated, even if it hurts, bothers or upsets us, so just doin' my part

Some people would call that “fact checking via multiple verified sources” but I digress.

In this time of hyper-partisanship, even if those two were joking (which I doubt), there are folks on the GOP supporters side who would think it was real.

Ah, "fake but accurate". Never grows old.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Americans (in general) are not known for sarcasm. This is the country that had folks clutching pearls about litter boxes in classrooms for kids.

In this time of hyper-partisanship, even if those two were joking (which I doubt), there are folks on the GOP supporters side who would think it was real. Sarcasm only works if all sides of the joke know that it’s a joke.

Why not? The whole of the democrats believe it. Of course they started it all by parsing a comment and then falsely speaking it in the fawning liberal media. The shirts are sarcasm, something I know from decades of being with Americans, that they do know well. Sarcasm is not lost on them.

So I’m guessing the 74% of GOP supporters surveyed in Feb were being sarcastic then.

One day. The same as most Presidents. They spend the first day signing stacks of Executive Orders. Basically dictating their starting positions. They are not Maduro or Jinping.

Here is the actual wording of that exchange.

Trump, referring to Hannity: "We love this guy. He says, ‘You are not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said, ‘No, no, no, other than Day 1.’ We are closing the border and we are drilling, drilling, drilling. After that I am not a dictator, OK?"

And yes Republicans agreed, with the complete quote, not the leftist edited one. See, they do understand sarcasm.
