Trump offers ‘large sums’ for exclusive access to coronavirus vaccine
German government tries to fight off aggressive takeover bid by US, say reports
Looks like Trump is apparently attempting to buy his way out of a disaster he helped exacerbate with the added bonus of sticking it to non-Americans. And, I’m willing to bet a lot of MAGAsses will say this is an example of the benefit of having a genius businessman like Trump in charge.
Even here in The Pit, I can’t say what I think about this.
Don’t need to. I think we can all read your mind. :mad:
“America First”. He wasn’t kidding or exaggerating.

Lying, that’s what he was doing. It’s Trump first.

This makes no sense: why spend a ton of money on a vaccine for a “disease” that doesn’t exist? And if it did exist — which it doesn’t — wouldn’t be any worse than a cold?
Of course, the doublethink is strong in these people. Verrrrrrrry strong.…

I saw a post on Facebook today which suggested that if Trump announced that the general election would be postponed due to coronavirus concerns, the “pandemic” would disappear overnight.
The scary thing is that some of his supporters probably still think this is a “Democrat Party” and mainstream media hoax designed to make Trump look bad.
And right on time, now is the perfect moment to issue a full pardon for Michael “Pal-O-Putin-N-Erdoğan” Flynn! (Reuters)
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he is considering a full pardon for his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about dealings with Russia’s ambassador before Trump took office.
Flynn sought to withdraw the guilty plea in January, arguing that prosecutors violated his rights and duped him into a plea agreement. Trump said the FBI and Justice Department had “destroyed” Flynn’s life and that of his family, and cited an unspecified, unsubstantiated report that they had lost records related to Flynn.
Because you can’t take your eye off the ball of what’s important.

Trump and the GOP have transcended ‘the big lie ’. Whereas Goebbels et al used it selectively, the Trumpists use it continuously, for every issue.

Pretty sure ODF was speaking to the logic flaws of the GOP and not their own views.

Great metaphor! You know what I like most about it? Hurricanes are in the Atlantic, while the Pacific has typhoons. That’s not only how far out of their depth these clowns are, but also how far off they are.
…
Hurricanes and typhoons are the same kind of storm that use different terms based on their geographic location.
Hurricanes - Occur in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific
What is the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon? You might hear these two terms used to describe the same weather event but the Red Cross has all in the information you need to distinguish between, and prepare for, the two.
Fighting Ignorance and all that. Here in [del]Kenya[/del] Hawaii, we get hurricanes.

I can understand willingness to source a vaccine from anywhere. Makes sense. But exclusive access? That’s just disgusting.

Can we share this around? And how would you like credit?
Steve Mnuchin: Trump Didn’t Lie, Everyone Just ‘Misinterpreted’ His Oval Office Address
Individual 1 is threatening to pardon Michael Flynn.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1239242219019735042 ?
Anything to distract from coronavirus. :rolleyes:
Yeah, just like we all misinterpreted Pearl Harbor.
As Aaron Blake of the Washington Post put it :
Mnuchin maintains it’s our fault for reading the president’s words literally.
