The Trump Pandemic

[L'Emmerdeur]

It's not really a lie if you pull 'context' out of your arse, smear it on your face and squint your eyes just right. You too can be a Trump apologist!

'Trump’s Claim That U.S. Tested More Than All Countries Combined Is "Pants On Fire" Wrong'

Responding to weeks of criticism over his administration’s COVID-19 response, President Donald Trump claimed at a White House briefing that the United States has well surpassed other countries in testing people for the virus.
“We’ve tested more than every country combined,” Trump said April 27.

It was a variation on claims he had made April 24, as well as on Twitter the day after — when he said the United States had tested “more than any other country in the World, and even more than all major countries combined.”

The president has made a habit of exaggerating the United States’ capacity for COVID-19 diagnostic testing. But the health system has ramped up its testing since its slow start during the first weeks of the American outbreak.

...

Trump claimed that the United States has “tested more than every country combined.”

There is no reasonable way to conclude that the American system has run more diagnostics than “all other major countries combined.” Just by adding up a few other nations’ totals, you can quickly see Trump’s claim fall apart.

Plus, focusing on the 5 million figure distracts from the real issue — by any meaningful metric of diagnosing and tracking, the United States is still well behind countries like Germany and Canada.

The president’s claim is not only inaccurate but also ridiculous.

He's just a total bullshitter. Can't believe his supporters can't see that.

They can.

They can also take some of what he says as a joke.

A lot of people seem to be only playing a game where they can see if ANYthing he says, can be misinterpreted to serve their ends.

Given a fair chance, he would turn up about as good as any prominent politician in the US.

Stop gaslighting.

WATCH: Alex Jones endorses cannibalism less than two months into coronavirus lockdowns
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/05/watch- ... lockdowns/

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones unleashed an insane rant on Friday in which he discussed eating his own neighbors should the COVID-19 lockdown continue.

“I will admit it — I would eat my neighbors,” Jones said. “I’m not letting my kids die. I’m just going to be honest. My superpower is being honest. I’ve extrapolated this out — and I won’t have to for a few years because I’ve got food and stuff — but I’m literally looking at my neighbors now and going, ‘I’m ready to hang ’em up and gut ’em and skin ’em.”

Jones then praised himself for his honesty in his endorsement of cannibalism.

“My superpower is being honest — I’ll eat your ass!” Jones said.

He then angrily blamed the “globalists” for instituting lockdowns and forcing him to consider eating people.

“You think I like sizing up my neighbor?!” he yelled. “I’m gonna haul him up by a chain and chop his ass up! I’ll do it! My children aren’t going hungry! I’ll eat your ass! And that’s what I want the globalists to know — I will eat your ass first!”

It's a shame he hurt the victims of school shootings, he might have been a likable bit of comedic relief otherwise.

Keeping in mind of course that I often joke about eating the rich, and babies too.

Folks like to quote him as some kind of 'trusted source', when most fans of his could find you quotes of Alex saying he was himself a bit retarded.

What most don't see is that Bill Hicks didn't die, he just went into witness protection as Alex Jones.

I told my pal's daughter the other day, that safe distance wasn't six feet, or 2 meters, but 'loogy range'.

If I can hit you with a loogie, you are likely too close.

But who is outraged?

I read an article the other day claiming Republicans, as a matter of strategy, liked to smear the left in general with its more radical/stupid/crazy elements.

If experience serves, maybe most do, but not by a very wide margin.
