Just out of curiosity, a question for our members in the US - is even Fox News reporting (with weasel words, to try to get Trump off the hook) that taking or injecting disinfectant is a really, really bad thing for their viewers to attempt ?
Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

It might work. It might not work.

I mean, ingesting disinfectant is bad enough - and I presume it’s the same in the States as it is here, that there are warning signs on the bottles telling you not to do it and to take your baby to A&E if they accidentally do it. But injecting it into the blood stream ??? maybe it will lead to a historically large (number 1) Darwin Awards.

You know when I saw the news clip of Trump talking about sunlight and disinfectant my reaction was "This must be a fake video. Even he could NOT be saying that!!!!"
I've only slowly realized that it may very well be true. That is just so scary. You guys down there gotta fix this!

You insult the memory of a Great American Patriot. Alfred E would have made a much better President.

NN writes: I felt the same way. My conclusion was that Trump is acting and talking stupid on purpose to placate his base and mock the educated elitists who urge us to fully trust science and reason in order to save our planet. This may blow your mind, but there was an evangelical "prophet" who was on record predicting Trump's victory a few years before it happened and he also predicted that Trump would fully become an evangelical himself during his (predicted) 2nd term. I know it all sounds contrived, but I see the evidence that this guy did predict Trump's victory (documented) a couple of years before he even announces he was running for president.

so your conclusion is that during a national emergency the president thought it would be cool to troll the people who are working to solve the problem? great leadership there. Seriously the guy is stupid and doesn't have the slightest clue as to how stupid he is. What is going to solve this problem aside from science and reason?It's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds soon I discovered that this rock thing was true Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world And so there was only one thing I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On *not an actual doctor

What is going to solve this problem aside from science and reason? Consensus and cooperation. Humans by nature will never simply do everything science tells them to do because we never listen to someone unless we trust them as a human and not just an expert.The only way I know to drive out evil from the country is by the constructive method of filling it with good.Calvin Coolidge "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.-RC Sproul, Essential Truths of the Christian Faith - You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

Right and instead of fostering trust in the experts the president decided it'd be cool to mock them. Great leadership, much wow.It's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds soon I discovered that this rock thing was true Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world And so there was only one thing I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On *not an actual doctor

Yes Phat.
Those so deluded that they place SOURCE over CONTENT, BELIEF over REALITY and TESTIMONY over EVIDENCE. Pitiful, pathetic and self destructive. How sad! They are the greatest threat the world faces. Edited by jar, : make thing clear
