You know, I can’t think back to a similar lethal combination... of a super-idiot running a super-power!

What could possibly go wrong?

Not much... just a global pandemic running rampant and trashing the entire planet!

It’s just as well we’ll never get to find out what he would’ve “accomplished” in a 2nd term!

...and thus the inescapable binomial curve: that at any given moment 70% of the world are being assholes.

good point. well made

but

I am talking about the frequency and duration with which certain specific individuals are in that 70%. Some move in and out of that 70% and some near live in it 24/7 365

A flat earther comes up and provides some junk articles abouit the earth being flat, and we are suppose to counter with research.

I don’t know which of the two is the dumbest idea... that the Earth is flat or that America; under Trump, can do no wrong.

I kinda lean towards the latter being even dumber!

no contest to my mind

To believe the earth is round requires thinking about it. There is no obvious starting point that indicates it is not flat from just normal observation and experience.

With Trump there is the obvious starting point from just normal observation and experience that on any spectrum of 'personality types suited to leadership roles' Trump is at the far far wrong end of that spectrum. To believe that he can do no wrong, given that starting point, thus requires spending all your thinking minutes on rationalising why that does not matter before you can do anything else. Like think about what shape the earth might be or why it might be seen by others as twatish to insist that in Australia you have more chance of dying or morbidity from vaccination to covid than you do from covid itself and then go on to tell everyone what you and your families booked vaccination date is.

...best to do this now, "pinging"; but there is a real debate about it.

100,000/ day is a strong likelihood for infection; and isolation is (still) the remedy.

...with the vaccine, deaths are surely less; the rest is up to each individual to have common sense collectively speaking.

[repulsewarrior]

...amusing, perhaps.

The problem with a guy like me in this instance, is giving imbeciles like you some airtime responding responding to your delusions.

Imagine MY pain of having to deal with... not one but a whole group of you and your dumb posts!

Yet, I show a LOT of tolerance and patience for the most part, and steer you in the right direction.

Think back in the last 15 years you pulled off a "kastanos" and I had to correct you... if I had a dollar every time I'd have a brand spanking new car!

It's got noting to do with Trump. Or anyone else whether it's Clinton, Bush, Obama or Reagan.

The US isn't a kingdom or a dictatorship. It has many checks and balances and an amazing Deep State of advisors and National Security experts who advise any President in power.

The POTUS for instance will not be able to wake up one day and just decide to unleash a bio weapon of mass destruction and violate international security and stability and jeopardise the health and economy of the entire world, including their own nation. It would contravene treaties and you would think they would know the repercussions, but they didn't given the fact COVID has bought them to their knees and also bought every NATO member and ally to their knees at the same time. With all the resources and expertise available to the USG, you would think they would have taken measures but they didn't. They would have at least warned their own athletes to not attend the games, closed their borders to China and warned their allies to take precautionary steps.

It would be the most difficult operation to pull off, given the fact thousands of people would have been involved and not just Americans but from other countries too. They would have warned Cyprus even because the Americans wouldn't even want Cyprus to succumb to COVID. They have no reason whatsoever, or gain, to destroy Cyprus and 170 odd other countries with COVID.

So sorry but it's a very messy plot you have come up with. Full of holes. And it just doesn't fly in the face of any logic.

No one in the Pentagon or the US Secret Service Agencies like the CIA, NSA and so on would allow the POTUS to do such a thing. It's like saying the POTUS could one ay wake up and decide to send a Nuclear Missile over to Russia, or Iran, or China after having somekind of episode. It's simply not that easy. Yes these agencies are subordinate but if they are dealing with a rogue POTUS, they won't exactly lie down and allow anything like this to happen which would potentially have dire repercussions for the USA.

Especially when they are winning on all fronts where they need to win. Public opinion and support is with the Americans and allies in the South China Sea, and with Taiwan. They have all the support the need from all the countries that matter because they are on the right side of history. Why would they jeopardise that?

France, Japan, Australia, UK, Canada, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand are with America - and because of that China is on the ropes because of their illegal activities.

Trump is an irrelevence. And if Trump really came up with such a hair brain idea, do you really think the deep state and establishment in the Pentagon and US Secret Services and FBI would allow him to get away with it? They were looking to crucify him from day 1. This would have been a gift on a silver platter. And it would have ended up with his removal from office and criminal charges for violating Treaties and destroying the bio security of their very nation.

there are rules and procedures when it comes to these things and many checks and balances and the POTUS isn't above the law. he isn't a benevolent dictator which transcend the law like Xi Pea nut of the CCP in China.

The same super idiot that was so anti polemic in comparison to what you have now, and we are suppose to think he developed COVID to unleash onto the world?

A disease he himself got along with half his family.

So we are expected to believe he released it upon himself and his family.

My my, you have lost the plot.

[Paphitis]

Well, I just got an sms, saying I'm required to have a COVID test as I have been netted as a close contact - associated with Sydney Airport.

Trump believed that he was/is above the law though. Look at his actions after the 2020 elections. He had no regard to Democracy. Looks at his actions on January 6th with attack on the Capitol Building. He is still on the BIG lie that the election was stolen which most of his brain dead followers still accept it to be true. Trump loved dictators from countries where the US has an economic power over. With China, he does not have that and the US will soon lose the number one position as the world’s largest economy to China. That would have been the biggest slap in Trump’s face had China became the largest economy during his projected 8 year term as president. This is where the dots starts to connect. Not so much to the US and Americans as a country acting in a criminal way regards to Covid, but Trump. Trump is the biggest dot which other dots can very easily connect to, in acting in a criminal way. Trump got through so many aids with people he brought into his administration, and as soon as anyone did not see things his way, they were kicked out, Including FBI director, Comey. Trump is an evil man and any involvement with bio weapons in the form of engineered Covid Virus leashed on China to destroy their economy, can easily have been orchestrated by Trump and few other countries, assuming that’s what happened, which we may never know. However, in most criminal activities, always follow the money!
