And can you still support him?

3 Years ago no person alive in public office could have done the two things listed without evoking the most intense rebuke and scrutiny from those who have posted thus far in this thread.

How often have I warned about the boy-who-cried-wolf effect?

Biden promised to cure cancer.

Source: Joe Biden Promises To Cure Cancer As Though Essential Oils Don't Already Exist

Presidential candidate Joe Biden promised to cure cancer if he is elected president, a strange claim since essential oils already exist and have been shown to cure cancer by studies performed by obscure mom blogs across the internet.

"I promise to cure cancer if I'm elected," he said, showcasing his baffling ignorance. It's like he doesn't even know that a few whiffs of lemon extract and lavender and your cancer goes away on its own. It's pretty frightening how out-of-touch Biden is on this one. He likely doesn't even have an essential oils starter kit or some handy rollers in his pockets.

The real question is whether Biden is in the pocket of Big Pharma. He probably is, since he made bold claims like curing cancer and totally ignored all the mom-reviewed research studies that show there's already a cure for cancer, consisting mostly of mixing up a bunch of essential oils and breathing them in through a diffuser you can buy from some lady at your church at full retail price.

If you'd like to know more about how essential oils can cure all forms of cancer, don't worry, the lady at your church will be approaching you soon whether you want to talk about it or not.

In all serious, imagine the heads exploding if Trump ever said something like that.

Please explain why you do not view the statements outlined in OP as a serious problem.

So after this one lands as being yet another dud of reporters misquoting it flat out lying about what was said, how long will it take you to run to the next narrative without admitting your previous one was false?

hasn't happened yet - and these are not misquotes. The things said are the things said. I guess one can pretend he didn't say what he said ....

Mods need to change the title of this thread to "A practical example of the dangers of Trump Derangement Syndrome".

I wouldn't call it that, though it's the same basic mechanism. People start Trumps presdency willing to excuse x. And for those that are not willing to accept that much compromise x is already too much. But Trump keeps pushing that envelope, and the Trump supporter keep saying " well that isn't THAT much worse than what I've already said I support", or they just continue to believe somehow the next increment is just 'taken out of context'. Either way the support for Trump just keeps digging deeper and deeper into what the person normally would never support. And here we are - a president who would interfere with intelligence gathering processes in favor of our enemies, and a president that is willing to publicly declare he will violate his responsibility to report foreign contacts if contacted with dirt on opponents that he can use to help win the 2020 election - as well as a promise to use it. And 4 pages on of defense of that from his 'followers'.

You question is irrelevant.

I heard the entire context of the CIA comment, so it is not a possible outcome for #1. He said what he said.

And the reality is, the parts heard on the other don't lend themselves to another conclusion either - especially since he already showed he would do it in 2016. He's just making it official that is his actual policy. And tossing out another request for help like he did in 2016.

On the contrary. You feel that way because you can't accept the truth about what trump is saying in this instance. It isn't that hard Pix. He said quite clearly that the use of Kin Jong Un's brother as an asset by the CIA "would not happen on my watch". IOW, Trump would make sure the CIA was not allowed to do that. There you go.

What else does "I would listen" mean when asked what he would do if foreign operatives came to him with dirt on an opponent? And what in the world would his comments about calling the FBI mean except that he thinks its a dumb idea and he wouldn't do it. I mean - he called out Wray when Wray said it was the responsibility of any candidate to call the FBI in a situation like that, saying Wray was wrong!

This is not rocket science pix. But it is disturbing if you are committed to supporting trump and have any reasonable version of a conscience.

'Mind reading pills'. Seriously? You mean to tell me that the delusion has gotten so strong that when we react to what Trump actually says we are to be accused of 'mind reading'? As in, we can't possibly know what he meant by what he said, so any attempt to call him on what he said is 'mind reading'?

That is really, really sad Pix.

I support President Trump without hesitation, and all the more so as he is constantly attacked and derided.

LPOT He asked a valid question. What does Trump's quote I would listen mean?
