Chloroquine (and Trump) Debunked

[Jimmy Higgins]

People are now hoarding famotidine (Pepcid) because doctors are trying it on a couple hundred severely ill COVID patients, using 9 times the normal dose intravenously.

If fuckhead announced that motor oil might prevent infection, we could solve the oversupply of oil and idiots at the same time.

FFS!

Trump is not going to lose because of a virus. He is going to lose because this viral pandemic has exposed his utter incompetence as a manager and his shortcomings as a human being. The Covid19 crisis and Trump's political crisis are two different things. The virus is a phenomena of nature, like a flood or a tornado. Trump's crisis is all of his own making. This was his opportunity to be a historic figure. Chances like this don't appear very often and he blew this one. There won't be another chance.

^Yep! GWB (barely) won re-election in 2004 with the US embroiled in 2 occupations that weren't going well. His post 9-11 polling shot up almost 40 points, and then slowly sagged down over 7-9 months. It turns out that the Repugs gave us a new low standard for poor presidents. So with no 'great economy' now, it will be a tough slodge for Clownstick to try to equal his just scraping a win by like last time. He is even going to have to fight for Texas. The con is old and worn...

Cheating can make crappy performance irrelevant. It's the one thing he's good at. Watch it work.

Fortunately for us, cheating is something Trump is experienced at, but not good at. Good cheaters do not have to pay women to keep their mouth shut when the cheating is over. Trump's weakness is his dependence on other people to clean up his mess, and now some of those people are in prison. The well of those willing to commit a felony for the President has run dry.

"The virus is raging through Florida! This is great! Maybe Trump will lose the state now!" - Leftist youtube quote

"If this virus never happened, Trump probably would've won in a landslide. The virus is good for our side." another leftist youtube quote

Give us links to these comments, please.

Should I help Halfie out here?

I don't really want to.

Still he's got half a point.

Very well. This quote isn't about the virus, but it is in a similar vein.

Bill Maher roots for recession so that Trump loses in 2020

There, I only helped him half-way. Kind of fitting since the [removed] halfling only made half an argument.

Bill Maher is an asshole, but it is quite certain that Half Life did not see the comments he quoted.

It is incredible that Mr. Libertarian is apparently not going to take much of a verbal stand against Big Government (The President) literally getting involved (meddling) in the treatment of patients, despite that being one of the largest objections of Libertarians to UHC. Instead, the Libertarian comes in and whines about liberals saying that Trump shouldn't have gotten involved with treatment protocols especially regarding this drug..'Meh, you just want people to suffer.'

So, according to Jimmy, in order to be a libertarian I have to be against Freedom of Speech.

No, to be a Libertarian, you must not hold any position at all. A True Libertarian stands for nothing and is against everything.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

Libertarian means we favor liberty. That isn't "stands for nothing and is against everything."

I can understand the confusion - some people think there should everything within the government, nothing outside the government, nothing against the government.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Libertarian means we favor liberty*.

* - definition of liberty is variable and depends on whatever particular stance a Libertarian takes at the moment. Position on liberty will typically involve only the liberty of said individual, though may be guised for multiple people. Defense of another's liberty only at Libertarian's convenience. The application of liberty should be expected to be inconsistent from subject to subject, and in no way should one expect a Libertarian to hold a consistent view of liberty. Any expectations of a Libertarian holding consistent principled thought are taken at one's own risk.

I can understand the confusion - some people think there should everything within the government, nothing outside the government, nothing against the government.

Yeah, but most of those people are standing in corn fields.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

That's an actual quote from someone who actually believed it, except that I replaced the word "state" with "government". You have an odd definition of straw man.

 

[Elixir]

Libertarian means we favor liberty.

Liberty from what? Is someone trying to be the boss of you? Is there no escape from their unjust rule? You have no "liberty" so you can't just hop a one-way flight to somewhere in the Amazon jungle or the Australian outback where you can take off your clothes and run around naked screaming obscenities?

You poor boy!

Dude, he's calling you a fascist. You deliberately misrepresent your opponents for satirical purposes and then you whinge about strawmen when one of them reacts by calling you a fascist?!? All he's doing is paying you back in like coin. You buttered your bread; now lie in it.
