I took a nap and this happened.

President Donald Trump suggested the possibility of an "injection" of disinfectant into a person infected with the coronavirus as a deterrent to the virus during his daily briefing Thursday.

Trump made the remark after Bill Bryan, who leads the Department of Homeland Security's science and technology division, gave a presentation on research his team has conducted that shows that the virus doesn't live as long in warmer and more humid temperatures. Bryan said, "The virus dies quickest in sunlight," leaving Trump to wonder whether you could bring the light "inside the body."

"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn't been checked because of the testing," Trump said, speaking to Bryan during the briefing. "And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too."

He added: "I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

He didn't specify the kind of disinfectant.

3. Sometimes I wonder

who ties his shoes....

[cayugafalls]

4. He is a special kind of stupid.

The kind of stupid that can kill you if you listen long enough or with enough intensity and lack of critical thinking skills, i.e. the typical dump voter.

I just wonder how long before we hear about the death of someone trying to shove a sun lamp up their ass...

5. Look at the video of Birx's reaction.

It’s in some recent posts here.

6. "Over the years, I saved a lot of daylight during daylight savings time! Now you can have some of it

with My Little Sunshine pills! Just one pill gives you a lasting healthy glow! You'll be able to find your way in the dark! You can stand near your petunias to give them that extra burst of light! The uses are endless!"

7. Well, he's been blowing smoke up our ass. Maybe he can do it light.

8. grasping at straws to dig him out of the hole

9. Yes. Let's inject some light into the sick people.

He knows you can do this because when he holds a flashlight to one ear the light shines out the other.

10. I suggest we inject Trump with some lavender fabuloso

12. Honest to god, by 4th grade I knew enough about simple anatomy to see the BS in this.

And I went to public school in Louisiana and Arkansas, albeit very good public schools.

People don’t realize what the rise of the religious right has done to science curriculums in the south. We learned about, gasp, evolution as a fact. Yeah, a few whackball parents might have objected but I never remember it being an issue.

I have a friend that is an excellent High school Biology teacher in small town Tennessee. He has to give a preamble every time he teaches evolution, which he does teach as fact. Even though a pillar in the town and a regular at a mainline church, every year he has bibles left in his mailbox with notes imploring him to become a real Christian so he does not go to hell.

13. Coincidentally, same here, only I dreamed someone was trying to kill me...

When I finally shook it off I check into DU and read this news about Lysol and shit.

Poor Dr. Birx. She was the one delegated to tell the Mad King he had to tell the GA governor not to reopen the state. Now this fresh hell.

14. A 55 gallon drum of fish tank cleaner on his back with a hose up his ass, that should keep him clean

[jimlup]

16. This is fucking scary

we have a president who thinks he has better ideas than the brightest minds in the nation while holding a press briefing.

Not only is he an moron, he is a very very dangerous moron.
