Popular Post Sujo Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 The only evidence we have of trump taking it is him saying he did. So I wouldnt really go believing he took it to start with, giving his penchant for the pinocchio of the decade award. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously saying he listens to expert advice and cares about facts? Are you seriously saying he thinks before he does anything? If you have any evidence that he thinks then please present it. The world is waiting to see such evidence. Yes to all 3. IMO he thinks about what will trigger those that hate him into the sort of OTT reaction that we see, before he decides what to say. IMO he might get a VDO collage of the most outrageous responses to enjoy at the end of the day. There's certainly a wealth of amusing meltdowns to enjoy. We saw lots after he won the election. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 18 hours ago, Phil McCaverty said: I was strongly advised against taking it as an anti malarial drug more than 10 years ago. Its negative effects have long been known about. The press and public immediately baulked at Trump's recommendation of the drug, because they couldn't believe that a head of state would recommend a drug to the people which was unapproved for the purpose and had known serious side effects. Reckless in the extreme. The public needed factual information - stat! Either the drug is prescription only so has to be prescribed by a Dr, or it's available over the counter which means it's up to the people buying it to do their research to see if it's appropriate for what they want. You seem to be saying that everyone is so stupid they take drugs just because someone told them to. Are you claiming that everyone is that stupid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that. Anyone dumb enough to take a drug because some famous person told them to is stupid.

I didn't take it because the Beatles did, I took it because I read an article in Oz magazine saying that if you took it you could meet God. Didn't meet God but sure had some fun. Well worth the £1 I paid for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisdead Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 A post spouting an "echo chamber propaganda" comment has been removed, propaganda narratives seem to be custom made for each "echo chamber". If the comments don't fit another's political narrative, don't denigrate another's opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
