Wow, getting a little defensive there aren't you.

Well, I guess we see whom Lysol had targeted when they posted their warning....

How do you tell someone who is thoroughly convinced he knows what he's talking about to sit down and shut up, especially when he has a huge ego, a belief that he is never wrong, and is president of the United States? No one will put Trump in the corner because they are afraid of his retaliation.

Voters like you have thrust this know-nothing, big mouthed fool upon the country. And you're still going to vote for him again.
I remember a year or so ago giving you kudos for a thoughtful, non-partisan, sober and well-reasoned response to something or other that I wrote (I don't remember exactly what the subject was). We both congratulated each other on being on opposite sides of the aisle and still being able to carry on a responsible conversation.

I've read a lot of your responses re: issues surrounding Trump since that time. There is no thoughtful, non-partisan, sober or well-reasoned left in you. So go vote for your pol of choice in November. I'll do the same. 'Murica Baby.

No, not at all. I get that people have different opinions. But opinions don't matter in the face of facts. I feel compelled to keep repeating the facts when I see other people feeling like they need to cover them up. It's how I roll. Trump really screwed the pooch on this one, embarrassing as it is for him and his supporters. But no matter how it's diced, misinformation and stupidity just can't be glossed over sometimes. I keep seeing Dr. Birx's face as Trump was spouting his disinfectant and UV nonsense. It was hard to watch. And I am anything but a narcissist, lol.

Not defensive at all. Just stating the facts.

Yes, I get it now. You are right, damn it, and those of us not falling in step with you are exhausting you by forcing you to repeat yourself. Such a selfless act on your part!

Chemotherapy is poison yet it can save a life. Rat poison not so much.

Trump was asking about medical use of a medical disinfectant by medical professionals.

Come on people.

Come on people.
And the medical professionals are telling him, and you, that there are no medical disinfectants that one can safely ingest or inhale.

Come on, tamajane. Even you must realize this by now.

Repeating a sentence word for word from a video is not taking it out of context.

I thought it sounded a little silly, but I also knew what he was doing. It was obvious he was just asking questions.

I pick up my phone, again make the mistake of checking out Twitter and what headline do I see trending? "Trump suggests injecting disinfectant" gods I hate Twitter and the yes... now more than ever the press! Nothing but bullbait!

Rant over!
