US President Donald Trump has said he is taking hydroxychloroquine - which health officials have warned may be unsafe - to ward off coronavirus. Speaking at the White House, he told reporters he started taking the malaria and lupus medication recently. "I'm taking it for about a week and a half now and I'm still here, I'm still here," he said. No words can be used to describe such stupidity. Congratulations to the GOP, his supporters and the SC trump apologists. Separate reporting on same story: The president said he consulted with the White House doctor about taking the drug, but it was not explicitly recommended for him since he has not tested positive for the virus. "I asked him what do you think," Trump said. "He said, 'Well if you’d like it.' I said, 'Yeah, I’d like it. I’d like to take it.' " "I was just waiting to see your eyes light up when I said this," he said.

Agree, perhaps its time to head for the mountains, clip in and gear down..... but I sold my Speed Concept two years ago

Yeah but who wants to be married to a drug dealer and get testicular cancer.

I have to agree more with jakee on this although you're not necessarily wrong. The endless back and forth between new governments digging dirt. Is corrosive to the public trust. But IMO the idea that the rule of law is a political tool for a government is worse. The concept that inspector generals can be fired W/O cause. That there are cabinet posts that can be "acting" indefinitely because the president knows they won't be confirmed. Because they are filled with political loyalists. Together with all the other corrupt actions over the last four years. Leads to complete disenchantment with government. "Trump will be remembered as corrupt and useless" except for the spin his loyalists will generate forever. I prefer a hanging in the Rose Garden.But there is the possibility of a sweeping "trump Bill" where the loopholes in law and the constitution are fixed. To prevent the decapitation of a party, of the House, or of the Senate.Of democracy and the rule of law. What such legislation looks like I don't know. Because trump has shown that one corrupt individual can undo everything the US founding fathers never anticipated.

trump apologists love to deny anything factual relating to C-19 coming from China. Its all to make trump look bad. China is a "outlier". "Officials concerned about a virus resurgence have quarantined 8,000 people and reintroduced lockdown measures in northeastern China, even as other parts of the country further relax restrictions. Residents of Jilin, the second-largest city in Jilin Province, have been mostly barred from leaving the city, state news media reported, after a cluster of infections was reported there and in Shulan, another city under its administration. Shenyang, capital of the neighboring province of Liaoning, said on Saturday that anyone who had traveled there from the city of Jilin since April 22 would be quarantined in a hospital for three weeks." Imagine if trump undertook the same measures. There would be his AR-15 carrying, camo wearing, beer guzzling, storm troopers decrying liberals. No it can't be true. China just manipulates the numbers and presto, its an attack on our beloved orange leader.

FIFY Congratulations, Manitoba has now gone six days without a single new case of C-19. With a population of 1.4 million right next to Minnesota which has deaths doubling every three weeks. It's now up to you to carry the load. You must not leave the cab. Hold it till you get home!

Well Ron prays to him, evangelicals do and the KKK would too if they knew how to find Satan's Altar

Move forward a half century and there is a space cadet as president.

Like other followers of donald trump, for his son the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Lying sleazy attacks of any sort are encouraged and endorsed by his followers, his family. "President Trump’s eldest son on Saturday posted a social media message suggesting Joseph R. Biden Jr. was a pedophile, an incendiary and baseless charge that illustrates the tactics the president is turning to as he attempts to erase Mr. Biden’s early advantage in key state polls." For the trump crime family why race to the bottom when you can start there.

I'll paraphrase for him. China, Australia and New Zealand are all "outliers". So you can't use them as the basis for C-19 discussion or debate. Only countries that make trump look good can be used. Hope that helps.

ad hominem argument, BINGO. The concept that the second largest economy would do something better than the largest is grating to the ego. If China tells one lie its the same as if America tells ten. Even though trump himself has stated that America has ceded the production of drugs and medical equipment to China. That America needs to seize back such capabilities.Everything China does is suspect. Because, because, their communists and the GOP stands for integrity, honesty, for freedom of accountability.

No, your cognitive bias is failing to connect the dots. trumps failures in dealing with C-19 exaggerated the effects C-19 should have had on the economy. Saving lives, controlling the virus was his duty as president. He ceded that duty to Jared, to Pence, and finally to the states. All in a effort to escape his personal political liability. The lock-down's benefits of bringing the virus under control will soon be tossed away. Because trump and his followers want him re-elected. If that results in a second or third wave of deaths that will just be too bad for the dead. One less vote against him. You of Coreese know this. But its inconvenient to admit that for trump supporters deaths are just a number, just collateral damage to jumpstart the economy. Inconvenient to admit that trump fumbled the initial response. Bungled the time that the lock-down should have provided. If trump had initiated a national campaign of testing, contact tracing. Like was done within the WH.

I agree with that. Even if they do it or if they do it in a limited time frame. It seems as if its an exercise in braggado.

Likely because trump is the king of litigation. Either as a defendant, or as a fishing, intimidating or harassing plaintiff. Every time there would be disclosure of documents potentially damaging to all the parties involved. If they don't have really juicy material directly on trump. But embarrassing or damaging to trump Enterprises. trump would have cause to file an action for damages against the law firm for failing to protect those damaging disclosures from the public realm. Arising from the hack. In the normal course of events hacking, extortion and such criminal endeavors need to be condemned. But if its damaging to trump, its all good.

America has two news sources that no other country has the NYT and the WP. With the death of journalism in the last twenty five years hundreds of periodicals have perished. Or become mere shadows of themselves. Of course for the trump base those two newspapers are irrelevant because they largely disregard facts. I'm not saying his base is completely ignorant. But the lies are sufficient to keep them on board the titanic.To have the base of investigative journalists like those two enables breaking story after breaking story. Bloomberg, the BBC and some other news organizations do good work as well. But Facebook and "free" web based political infomercial sites have acted to pervert facts. Pervert the discourse of politics, economics, the law and social classes.

They will always have Jeff Bezos on the back burner because of the Washington Post. The trump-Enquirer and other relationships have been exposed by the WP. and Investigative journalism doesn't fit well for the right.

Ample evidence exists that trump has bungled his way into recession. But like Brent and the whole global warming hoax, you want to ride the depression. Bank repo's, short sales, distressed sellers might fund a juicy retirement for those that take personal advantage of recessions. For others there are facts. "revealed. In April, economists at JPMorgan issued a dire forecast that predicts a 40% decline in the U.S. gross domestic product for the current quarter, which would also be reminiscent of the Great Depression, when GDP fell by nearly 30%. Other estimates predict that the U.S. economy could shed 47 million jobs, pushing the unemployment rate to 32% (the rate peaked at nearly 25% during the Great Depression, and around 10% during the last recession, in 2009). Already, the country’s unemployment rate surged to 14.7% in April, and weekly jobless claims show that more than 36 million Americans have already filed for unemployment insurance over the past eight weeks."

You were saying? J. Crew, the Neiman Marcus Group and now J.C. Penney a 118-Year-Old Department Store. All bankrupt as the trump recession marches on. Nobody but nobody does recessions like donald trump.

double post

Well they do poll trustworthiness. U.S. Suffers Greatest Global Decline in Trust Jan 2020 US News and World Reports.

Other counties are dealing with populists. None compare to trump. If you multiplied the depraved sexuality of Berlusconi, the indifference to life, law, of Duterte( a lawyer no less) and Putin you would have trump. Except of course trump is very stupid. trump has sold out Afganistan by dealing under the table with the Taliban without consulting the government. He sold out the Kurds. He breached treaties with Iran( before he withdrew from agreement) Ukraine and NAFTA. Internally the constitution and the rule of law were used as toilet paper. But aside from those transgressions you mean?

Shuuuuuuush everyone knows that those chips were invented by George Soros. Keep quiet or Q will find out.

I knew he is a doctor but I didn't know what kind so I goggled him when I posted that. I was going to joke that he was a doctor for those that can't see. Then I was going to say he was a chiropractor a graduate of the Guadalajara school of chiropractors. But I digress. Given his general ignorance IMO it would be speculation that he's heard of or read the Lancet. Once again I digress but insulting republicans is such fun. All this social isolation is making my mind wander like a trumpite.

Unfortunately trump, his cabinet, Dr. Rand Paul and his supporters have never hear of it. Does it advertise in the National Enquirer?
