He didn't "say" to inject disinfectant, he "said" to consult your doctor first.

By tonight it'll be all a media hoax to make me (him) look bad and it was really Joe Biden who said to inject Clorox.

And we could prove it but Hillary hid all the emails in a server in Benghazi.

Q published that last month, btw.

15. But they won't, or will be primed to agree with every false RW nitpick

I've seen it before. It goes beyond simply having a different take on it. They'll stretch anything into taffy in order to not budge from their view.

14. Oh no. I got some diehard (used to be FB friend) who piped in on a friend's thread

He is an (A)sshole (R)epub (P)olitician from CA and as diehard trumper as you can get. Just to let you know what we're up against by the people who are still clinging to him, here ya go...

Sane friend: "So one of the things a new parent does to “baby proof” their home is to install safety locks on storage cabinets so that a curious toddler doesn’t accidentally ingest household cleaners or other poisons. And yet here is our stable genius of a President suggesting we need to look into that as a treatment for Coronavirus. By all means, Mr. President, you first."

Insane ARP: "Your commentary is so far off. My own doctor described a med I took as one that “mopped up the bad cholesterol”. It’s called metaphorically speaking. I am not saying Trump is any better, but have you ever thought your constant over-the-top criticism of your President could be considered mean, or otherwise how you would not want your children to be? I have no idea what you do for a living, but can you imagine someone at your workplace everyday observing you, and then going out to the world and conflating everything that could be a problem? Now imagine you are the CEO of the world’s largest economy, in a diverse and divided country, (well understood since it’s birth). What would you do in every situation that the President deals with? Leadership is incredibly hard, and everyone is better off when they help instead of sit on the sidelines and bitch. I am sorry if that offends you and your friends here, but your lack of respect for what the President deals with and how he is leading the country is remarkable. And if your paycheck comes from the taxpayer, you need to respect us too."

Sane friend: "I’m intrigued by your metaphor of Trump as CEO and the rest of us as his “employees.” I’ve certainly been in enough workplaces to understand the deleterious effects of people who complain. But I think you may have things backward here. Trump is OUR employee, a man hired to do a job and to support the mission (read “Constitution”) of the “company” (nation). What we have is an employee who is a compulsive liar, who puts his own interests before those of the company, who blames others for his mistakes and takes no responsibility for his actions, and who violates all norms of professional decorum. He should be called out and fired.

Then he added this graphic with "Cheers!"
