      Disinfectants in general. And he speculated and then covered himself by suggesting that should be investigated. And yes, he's a moron.

        I'm surprised we're not seeing a rush to defend him here. Is it possible he's finally said something so moronic even his base cannot find a way to defend him?

          And you thought miracles don't happen! (truth be told, I have not seen comments on miracles on Tweb, so I am inferring that from your self ascribed label of atheist)

          Though I did noticed a couple of half hearted attempts to reinterpret his statements.

            Of course I believe in miracles. My 23-year old son, who is living with us during the pandemic, just put a dish in the dishwasher. Now THAT's a miracle.

            I am considering returning to my "born again" roots!

                I think that's a bit over the line, Shuny.
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  No, it is right on target. Trump is way over the line.

                    So, you really believe Trump would round up nearly a thousand people and have them drink deadly poison.

                      He doesn't seem to know that it is deadly poison.

                            And you take that literally the same as the Jim Jones thing.

                              An interesting question. I think that, for most people, the idea of doing this would be repugnant without regard to any incentive/price suggested to justify it. Based on what I have seen and know of Trump, I have to admit that I am not confident he is that kind of person. I suspect, based on the level of corruption I have already seen, that he would have a price at which he would most likely justify this kind of action. He doesn't appear to have much of a moral compass.

                              But that's a guess. It way well be influenced by my revulsion for this man and almost everything he stands for.

                                Despite the post I just finished, I don't think this particular incident suggests he's trying to do a "Jimmy Jones." I think the man is simply stupid to an almost criminal degree - and he has little/no governor on his mouth. The Biden team should be continuously collecting these tidbits and forging attack ads out of them.

                                Of course, Biden is not exactly known for having the best of governors on his mouth either.
