Coronavirus

I certainly am! It's working for me.

 

Thank you drunks, hangry, and hairstyle challened Wiconsinites and Indianans for being the test group to see what happens when you just can't stay at home. Special shoutout to all you preppers out there. Hope those BIG guns will protect your micro penises from the Covid. And let's not forget all the preachers who are willing to make their parishioners test beds for god's laboratory.

The danger in Trump's decision to self-medicate with hydroxychloroquine - CNNPolitics

POTUS is taking non-approved experimental drug cocktails.

He has round the clock world-class medical supervision and could snort anthrax and probably be revived.

This dude's insane.

Calling for reinvestigation of Obama and even water carrying Barr won't do it.

This.

Dude.

Is.

Insane.

 

But to offset this, you have Trump supporters in places like Pennsylvania that still think he is doing an awesome job. From the outside looking in, I'm with you - he is certifiable. Why don't his supporters see this?

 

A large portion of his supporters are contrarians. If something/anything goes against the flow, even goes against good health sense, they're all in. Defiance for the sake of being defiant. As the old expression goes "cutting off your nose to spite your face."

Add in ignorance and gullibility.

 

And...

The contrarians see them selves as outsiders. And they take great pride in being outsiders. Trump ran as an outsider*, and became "their" candidate, and "their" president.

Trump's base refuses to see his shortcomings because that would mean they're wrong to support him, and they are not wrong. Therefore Trump is not wrong. This ties into what cynthetiq already posted.

*IMO a person didn't need to be esp intelligent and/or politically savvy to see that Trump had a conservative right pro-business agenda. He didn't "drain the swamp," he filled it with people from the industries that they are supposed to be regulating. And left positions open so that no real regulating, or pretense of, takes place.

I'll stop my Shyster Trump rant. It belongs in the Politics threads.

Poor church.

It owns the largest & most priceless art collection in the world.

Its collection of important books, journals, maps, charts, documents, etc. is also the largest in the world.

Its slush fund and legal issues fund are the (among the) largest in the world.
