But then how will we ever know if has a meltdown?!?!

■■■■ it. Delete his account.

He still has Facebook.
And more importantly, Fox News. Which gets to YouTube.

Unfortunately, your first line is the key.
He is the most searched for content in the world.
Back in my day it was Pamela Anderson…

Fark I miss Pamela.

If the guy was honest he’d be happy to be fact checked, in fact, he’d encourage it.

Shut him down.

Nah, give him his rope.

It’s hurting him way more than it’s helping.

Plus, … I just heard only 1 in 5 Americans actually have Twitsville accounts, and about half of those are fairly or completely, dormant, … of the other active half of that, the vast majority of tweets come form about 10% of them.

And there’s no telling how many of those would be bots??

If the Lib Media didn’t report on every single fking one of them, … most wouldn’t know of them, … and he’d be better off for it.

Also, a new poll just said only 20% of folk there like that he tweets and think he should keep doing it, … the rest don’t, including most Republican Politicians.

Every time he proves himself a bare faced Liar or a complete Moron via that platform, he put’s them one step closer to losing the Senate.

Tweet on Dumpster, … keep showing them all just how fking stupid you really are.

Summary: Trump has no plan.

Lying Donald does not really give a rats about recent black american deaths at the hands of police and ex police.

He does not govern for all Americans, but any American could choose to vote for him. That’s why his fake concern suddenly appears during an election year. He doesn’t even bother to fake it the rest of the time to even make it look real.

Wait for the next mass shooting. and the fake concern, ( but not questioning the unfettered 2nd amendment rights of his core supporters in any way whatever)

Yes, he is a bare faced liar, but he is not a complete moron. He knows that he can bare face lie and get away with it, over and over again. He has done that for at least 4 years now. Thats why he is spewing about the twitter fact check.

Do not underestimate Trump. Remember how he destroyed every one of the other Republican candidates during the lead up to nomination? Remember how he destroyed Hillary, calling her a liar, when in fact he has been shown to be a habitual liar.

No doubt he will attack Biden with the same strategy. Find even just one Biden lie and go for Bidens throat

3 times as many black potential voters dying from corona, not to mention Hispanics, may have a little to do with the govt’s cavalier attitude to the pandemic. Can’t figure it out, is this observation too delicate to amplify for the press or am I just not reading the right journals?

Troubled that it was caught on video, that’s all.
If it wasn’t filmed, it could be fobbed off just like most of the other deaths.

“completely bewildered by the fact that his State is going through what he is calling a second peak”

Maybe Dumps team created the Virus to majorly target those demographics in particular, then sent that Military crew to Wuhan to deliberately release it there while they also let it loose in the US simultaneously back in December, but could still point the finger at China, while wiping out dem voters by the thousand, all to help him win the election because they all knew he was screwed???

Make a killer Movie. :smirk:

Last part needs some refining.
Him creating the virus to help him win the election was more of a purpose in creating an enemy so that he could be considered a war time President as historically, Presidents and leaders are more popular after such an event than they were before.

Unfortunately, that’s more believable than half of the ‘conspiracy theories’ he’s peddling.

A plan that reveals his incompetence and trashes his biggest strength the economy, that’s a wild theory.

Could have just bombed some Brown people, would have been way more effective.

Mate, I’ve quoted below the original post I made. Note that I was stating a hypothetical. Which you don’t seem to understand. The 10,000 was plucked out of thin air because it was a hypothetical. That isn’t unscientific. It was meant to be an example. The idea being that with hindsight there might be a view that a certain number of deaths to reduce the economic cost might be acceptable. You will also note, I never suggested we shouldn’t lock down - in fact I pointed out with no lock down maybe the USA could be facing more deaths, and used 1 million as an example.

You keep misrepresenting me on the 10,000, and you keep misrepresenting me on the approach. I never said no lockdown, you will note my original post below pointed out that everyone had done some level of lockdown. But you keep on as if I recommended going for herd immunity and no lockdown. Nice strawman. You also keep saying that there aren’t alternative approaches out there - Japan and Sweden both had light lockdowns, which Australia could have adopted. So when you say there was no choice, you’re either ignorant or lying. We could also have gone for a stronger lockdown similar to New Zealand.

The control cycle, or hindsight review, is a well established scientific technique used in multiple disciplines. The idea that we shouldn’t at the end of this event look back and consider what would have been the best option, out of a range, is frankly silly and unscientific. To say we shouldn’t do one, or that we won’t be able to learn from reviewing the whole circumstances, is very unscientific.

Because it got caught on camera. Its no wonder US police forces have fought so hard for body cams not to exist, and get angry when being recorded.
