America you have become he biggest joke in the world.

Very few people have any respect for you.

Look at what an absolute shit show your republic has become, and what are any of you doing to stop it?!! NOTHING.

I care DEEPLY about what the rest of the world thinks of anything especially you

[El Kabong]

Ok. That's certainly another take on it, and one to be respected as any other.


But the whole thing... Trump's remarks on disinfectants and UV rays... the press's "jumping" on it... Trump's defense about his remarks having been made sarcastically... the whole ball of wax....

The whole thing could've been non-existent had Trump said a few simple words:

"I'm not a medical doctor nor virologist, and will abstain from commenting on specific treatments or cures. I'll yield the podium (fat chance) to our experts in the field so they can further explain."


But then.... that's not Trump, is it.

Trump is THE SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERT on every single topic under the sun..... like the spoiled brat at Christmas with a living room full of toys and making sure he plays with each and every one of them.

He's finally POTUS, his lifelong dream, and by golly..... he's gonna stick his nose into every single topic.... whether he has the formal education or training or not.

• Windmills
• Hurricanes
• Viruses

Pray tell..... what OTHER topic is Orange Man Bad going to stick his orange nose in and indulge us with his expertise?

He said "I'm not a doctor" those are the verbatim words which he literally said. And THEN he asked Dr. Birx.

So the problem again is what exactly?

Trump could hand the press a gold bar and they'd still find something to bitch about.

I searched high and low for a thread like this, thinking surely one existed and I didn't want to incur in needless duplicity. Alas, I found none.

In any case, I thought damn..... some things today are soooooo radically different in their very core from things from just a few decades ago.

Take a for instance.....

When all is said and done, COVID-19 will certainly be nowhere near the worst pandemic in human history. It will probably fall short of the worst of projections.

However, it is sure to go down in history as.... The Most Vehemently Argued and Denied Pandemic in the History of the Universe.

Why's that, I wonder.

My own theory is that people themselves are different.

Conspiracy theories are a dime a dozen. Throw a rock and you're bound to hit a conspiracy theorist.

People by and large are more rebellious and automatically balk at anything the government or any authority has to say...... including health professionals and authorities.

Also, people will always deny that which they DO NOT WANT TO HEAR. Psychology 101.

I get the economic argument and all that...... but some people are downright belligerent when talking about COVID-19. It's like a raw fucking nerve.



But anyway, I see this as a sign of the times.

There's more, hence the new thread.

Shit man. Nobody paid attention because ain't nobody gat time for no fucking COVID-19. lolol....

Ha ha now flaco says republic after I schooled him. Yeah flaco Canada is the high point of the world

Thank you for welcoming and I might add for positive reputation comment I received in notifications yesterday. I can't see how a the leader of the free world can stand up in front of all television cameras and microphones who are recording his every word, and say to inject disinfectant like clorox (known as bleach) and lysol or to shine under the skin tremendous light for a treatment of covid19. It was painfull emabarrassing to see hear and know that the socalled leader of our planet can say uneducated stupid things (so unscientific) with a straight face and act serious and expect intelligent minds to respect him. I agree with "Sign of the times" that we as a people watching and hearing this amateur who never answers questions of reporters ask him. That we live in uncharted times, and who I know that is seeing this unfold daily are all feeling distress like never before and also scared. Without politics involved, it's just wrong and incredible it's happening.

Well said @NoSavingByTheBell I’d like to make you an honorary French man, or a guy from NY or Texas

[ruthless rocco]

...and you still do nothing. Pathetic.

[walrus]

...and you still do nothing. Pathetic.

What are you doing flaco, that is the question.

[ruthless rocco]

Pointing out what a joke your nation is.

Good job flaco the world has been waiting for your opinion

[ruthless rocco]

I'm sure it will all be taken care of, now that the patriotic American men of action here on Saddo's have been informed.
