News on Trump's Speech.

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

Post by MikeD »

Take a look at this news clip and have a few laughs. There are millions and millions of Americans who cannot properly talk, write, or think!

I'll be honest, I don't think the media's aim's very good.

What bugs me is that they will criticise him and try to de-bunk him just for the sake of it, when there is so much material available to them which validly needs to be criticised.

It probably rubs me up the wrong way for example when I see the media (such as the BBC) launching into an article about the virus originating in a lab, with the presumption that that wasn't the case just because Trump said it might be the case, just as much as it does when Trump's behaviour is genuinely unfathomably dire. To me it seems EVERY possibility that the virus came from the Wuhan lab, and I for one am behind Trump pushing China to be more open about it, and for potential repercussions against China, no matter how powerful and influential China might be.

However, in the last few days we've had Trump:

1. Suggesting that people might benefit from injecting disinfectant
2. Giving vocal support to people he sees as being his voters, who are breaking the law by gathering in public, and (although of course this is apparently entirely legal in America) walking round in army uniforms carrying shotguns in public.
3. Saying, when talking about the virus, that the Chinese want him to lose "this race"

To me all of these things are massively disturbing. The part about the President talking about "this (election) race" when giving a Coronavirus briefing is a huge issue, and I've not even seen it been mentioned by the media. Maybe it might be more appropriate for them to be asking why the President is supporting people breaking the law, and why he sees the Coronavirus virus as being just a part of the election race, rather than them sitting in a studio playing clips of him speaking awkwardly and mocking him for it.

If the Prime Minister in the UK made any of these massive blunders, he would be publicly crucified by the media. Our media were trying to hang the government for not reaching a benchmark target of tests per day, calling it a "deadline" when it was no such thing, and when the government did meet that target after all, they started questioning whether we were just testing for the sake of it now ! Can you imagine if the PM had conflated the fight against the virus and an election race ?

God I hate the modern media.

I just can't wait until Joe Biden wins and fixes everything. If he were president now, the US would have zero Coronavirus deaths.

Trump never told people to inject lysol...he was being sarcastic...
The trouble with haters and the media is they don't actually listen to his speeches or his interviews in total. They watch cnn..bbc..msnbc..abc..nbc..cbs..and get a cut up version by some liberal cunt.
Trump has no choice but to defend himself, his staff and his suppprters.
Yes, in many parts of the USA it is perfectly legal to open carry a firearm provided your right was not disallowed from some act such as a felony.
The firearm must also be a legal firearm.
Prime Minister Johnson called President Trump and asked for ventilators.
Trump has been sending ventilators to countries around the globe and will be sending thousands more in the coming months. Plus, he is making sure that All States have a stockpile instead of jack shit like fucking New York.
Having a video of ron perlman a leftist actor ragging on about Trump is nothing...
Freedom of speech is one of the rights that citizens of the USA have that most of the world's population do not enjoy.
Trump just had 3 Governors in the Oval Office last week...2 were of the opposite party. They were all thankful for his help and leadership.
Trump has sent more aid and equipment and Medical teams to democrat states who did not vote for him than Republican States that did.
Trump has handled the chinese wuhan virus plague with tenancity and unleashed the full power of the USA to fight this menace.
China is to blame and all the fucking Trump haters thumbed their noses at his warnings and those cities and states have paid a huge price.
To even mention that he gets political at times is just plain ignorance of the facts and what he is up against with a fake media and an opposition party that would prefer the country to collapse, millions die and the economy to flounder ..as long as they can can defeat him in November..hold onto to the house and retake the Senate.
Why don't you little cunts worry about your own countries?
I just received $1200us from Trump's economic team and I am spending it here in Cambodia.

personally feel he is way to divisive. His comfort zone is to talk down to people.. punish people.. punitive ..he is good at punishing people.. and some people/countries probably deserve it..

another person said this...
I get why people like Trump—especially fat-faced dimwits. He’s the dumb bully they never got to be. He exudes a tasteless person’s vision of status. He’s what every angry moron thinks he’d be if only the liberals/Jews/welfare queens/etc. hadn’t ruined the American dream.

but that does go back to your comment...if Biden was president--no cases of covid-19 implication...

anyway I guess we will see what happens.. I do prefer someone with more empathy...Regardless we will find out in the fall

that concept is similar to this....agree w/ u


Once something is added to your collection of beliefs, you protect it from harm. You do it instinctively and unconsciously when confronted with attitude-inconsistent information.

Just as confirmation bias shields you when you actively seek information, the backfire effect defends you when the information seeks you, when it blindsides you. Coming or going, you stick to your beliefs instead of questioning them.

When someone tries to correct you, tries to dilute your misconceptions, it backfires and strengthens them instead. Over time, the backfire effect helps make you less skeptical of those things which allow you to continue seeing your beliefs and attitudes as true and proper.

The last time you got into, or sat on the sidelines of, an argument online with someone who thought they knew all there was to know about health care reform, gun control, gay marriage, climate change, sex education, the drug war, Joss Whedon or whether or not 0.9999 repeated to infinity was equal to one – how did it go?

Did you teach the other party a valuable lesson? Did they thank you for edifying them on the intricacies of the issue after cursing their heretofore ignorance, doffing their virtual hat as they parted from the keyboard a better person?
