Yes, a highly independent source.
What ya gonna believe, what people tell you or your lying eyes?
If your eyes and ears haven’t confirmed what the CEOs are saying , they’re lying to you.
You really going to die on the “Trump doesn’t meander all over the place when he speaks publicly’ hill?
How many videos do you want? I’m even willing to plan to show you one prospectively so no cherry picking occurs.

Trump meanders. It's nothing new. Especially at rallies, where he's speaking for extended periods it happens.
But Jesus, you're gonna compare that to a man who occasionally doesn't know what planet he's on?

We all know where Biden is cognitively at right now. You can try to polish a turd, but it's still a turd.
i have said numerous times that President Biden is impaired. And I agree that President Trump has a better mental capacity than President Biden, but that bar is so so so low as to make me laugh.

Bleach injection for COVID
Terry: So how did you rate this claim by President Biden?
Specht: Mostly false. Trump did mention bringing UV rays and disinfectants into the body, but let's remember what Biden said. He said his predecessor, quote, "told Americans all they had to do was inject bleach in themselves, just take a shot of UV light." That is not what Trump said. It was by no means a demand, an instruction, a recommendation. Trump was speaking off the cuff. And then, scientists say, in an ill-advised way. He was not telling anyone to do anything. He was floating ideas for potential treatments to be tested. That's why we rated Biden's claim that Trump told people to inject bleach mostly false.
Trump’s statements were confusing, but a look at his exact words shows that Trump didn’t specifically instruct Americans to “inject bleach” or “take a shot” of ultraviolet light to prevent COVID-19. He did, however, inquire about whether UV light and disinfectant could be studied inside the human body. Here are Trump’s full comments:
"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. And I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?
"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."

Mr. Biden is worn out, feeble, pathetic.
If only that could be changed by pointing at Mr. Trump. We would all be better off. But it can't.

It would be considered hate to not vote for him.

Asking stupid question to a staff behind closed doors is fine, doing so on national broadcast TV in the middle of a pandemic is stupid.

So, we've gone from "bleach" to "disinfectant."
And we've gone from "suggesting" to "asking."

Would it be possible to do something with batteries to electrocute the virus? Maybe if everybody sat in a salt water bath with a toy shark and somebody threw a car battery in that would do it?
I’m just spitballing here, of course. I don’t think anybody has asked this before and maybe they should.

Uh, not really.
We've used UV light in rooms for a long time for infection control purposes. As for disinfectant...I knew people who were using antibacterials religiously during COVID for nasal swabbing and gargling, especially dilute H2O2.
So while it is spitballing, it's not entirely off the wall. Especially in our state of ignorance on how to treat COVID at that time.
Look at the bright side...If that had been MERS (very similar) We wouldn't be having this conversation, because a lot of us would be dead.

Another reason you don't want Trump at the helm -- he doesn't know what he doesn't know, his ego gets in the way of him ever admitting that he doesn't know; that's lethal when dealing with crises with many unknowns.
