The nuclear missiles and aircraft carriers are the only reason most of

What about democracy,

As James Arthur points out, the US doesn't do democracy. The founding tax evaders equated it with mob rule, and universal suffrage took a long time coming, and the current version of the Republican Party is doing it's best to undo that.

Not exactly impressive innovations.

The US did get there first, but wing-warping never did catch on.

"A much earlier aileron concept was patented in 1868 by British scientist Matthew Piers Watt Boulton, based on his 1864 paper On AĂŤrial Locomotion."

A delusion commonly held by Americans, but not historians.

Even there you had quite a bit of help.

Another delusion popular amongst Americans. In reality the commies got as much of Europe as they could cope with. They didn't get Greece, Austria or Yugoslavia for reasons that didn't have much to do with any American activity.

Which served US purposes very well.

For which nobody is in the least grateful.

No. The US enthusiasm for spending loads of money on the baroque arsenal
(much more than anybody else) was explained by Eisenhower a long time ago. The military-industrial complex siphons money out of US tax-payers pockets and spends some of it developing weapons, some of it bribing politicians to authorise the development of new weapons systems and quite a lot of it on paying big dividends to US share-holders.

The phase pork barrel does come to mind.

Snort.

There is some precedent for light or light-activated medications as a
treatment for disease. Sunlight has a lot of health benefits beyond
vitamin D.

A lot of medications were discovered by accident or theory-free trial
and error. You've got to kiss a lot of frogs to find the magic prince.

Snorting is the enemy of discussion and thinking. It's basic contempt
for ideas.

Sadly, some ideas are contemptible. John Larkin specialises in propagating particularly contemptible delusions, and feels hurt when he doesn't get the congratulations he feels he deserves.

I think we have finally crossed the line.  It is now universally
accepted that the United States of America is the stupidest country
on the planet and we are most likely going to be shamed into leaving.

Until now we were simply mocked behind our backs by the leaders of
other countries whispering about the many things Donald Trump has
said to them privately.  But now Trump has said something that even
the stupidest of the stupid know it would be too stupid to allow them
to live.

Trump talked about using disinfectants as internal treatment for
COVID-19. Yep, that's drinking the Formula 409.  Going down on Mr.
Clean.  Loving the the Lysol.  Pumping the Pine-sol.  Shooting up
with Clorox.

This now flags our President as the stupidest person in any position
of authority, now and ever.  That includes the first President of
Troglodonia, Zog.  Zog was a fair, but stupid leader.  When he
thought he was doing the right thing he often was actually hurting
his countrymen more than not.  But mostly those who voted for him
supported his policy of stone wall building at the river which
separated Troglodonia from the adjacent country Neanderstan. He
campaigned on the promise of making Neanderstand pay for the way.
Unfortunately Neanderstan was happy to do so since the wall was built
on the Troglodonian side resulting in severe consequences for the
inhabitants.

And yet... President Trump is far stupider than Zog.

Even my friend's 5 year old knows enough to not drink the cleaners
stored under the kitchen sink.  Maybe Trump saw some cleaner stored
on an upper shelf next to his Captain Crunch and it gave him an idea.

Either way, we are now the stupidest country in the world and are
going to be kicked off at the next vote.


He didn't actually say that. Looks to me like he said something
ambiguous and unintelligible and then got annoyed people weren't able
to read his mind and had understood it to mean something other than
whatever he thought he meant at the time.

Sort of like Jesus, really.

Looking at the man himself in the video, he mentioned
 - injecting/inhaling disinfectant "so that it would be interesting
   to check that" and
 - tremendous internal UV (other than through the skin)
   "sounds interesting, right"

and was satisfied that someone off-screen said they were going to
check that.

Clearly
1) he thought they were good ideas, no sarcasm, no irony
2) people around him have learned how to say something that
will mollify him and then let him forget it

Doesn't look good for the US.

In seriousness I don't make any pretense to understanding his mental
state in regards to statements like these.
Really? I find T to be very transparent. He's our narcissist
'very stable genius' leader who knows more than anyone.
I think he truly wants to help the US. (as misguided as I may think
he is.)
OTOH T=stupid and therefore not-T=smart... is stupid.
George H.

He's disinhibited. He says what he's thinking might be possible, not
appreciating that there is a Washington Post reporter in the room,
paid to trash him out of context.

He should be more prudent.

The Washington Post reporter isn't going to take hims seriously. The average Trump supporter is even more stupid than John Larkin or Cursitor Doom - difficult as this may be to imagine - and might well think that Trump might have meant self-medicating with bleach. Prudent adults never say that sort of thing to a mass audience.

You confuse contempt for your and Trump's ideas as contempt for ideas in general. Everyone here has respect for ideas that actually have some thought behind them.

TG is intelligent, and even civil, now and then.

Maybe he has hay fever or something now.

Too early in the season, and the symptoms lesson as you age.
I'm down to one two loratadine per year.

It will be interesting to see to what extent the public
confuse hay fever symptoms with early corvid symptoms.
I know I have to put a check on my over interpreting

sore throat

OK, that explains the snorts.

We were allowed to REMOVE him prior to that THIS TIME, and the
senate committed crimes and let the accused continue to commit
croimes to circumnavigate the impeachment that DID HAPPEN.
Their refusal to honor their oath and instead back up this loser
was a criminal act.

Trump should already be out, you stupid fuck. AND for what he did,
he has disqualified himself from even running.

But nobody noticed that stupid fucking behavior either.

13 men died in one of our allied nations due to TrumpTardedŠ
manipulations. THEN the retarded bastard got caught. THEN the also
retarded republican party decided to craft a defense for him.

He did NOT say "ingest". That word is not even in his very very
limited vocabulary.

He said INJECT. It was not being sarcastic. It was the mind of an
eleven year old never got raised right by a mobbed up landlord daddy
foot stomping brat child, coming out to play in the adult world...
again.

He is an abject idiot. With not even a two year degree. A MATH
based degree which he cannot even perform the most basic figuring in.

Donald John Trump has done more damage to the United States than
any other person ever. Most of his family ranks a close second.

He is ripping of the US Treasury too. What are they paying the
wall workers? $200k a year? say 50 of them. Even that is still NOT
billions of dollars. So what? Does the concrete cost $2000 a yard?
Is the steel more expensive than Titanium?

He is embezzling money from the US, and tearing up military
programs to do it!

$17k a month for his rooms for US federal employees at his
"resort".

I say it is time for prison for him and a great number of his
admin.

Most people do know what Trump said. If that wasn't what he
meant then he is a lousy communicator.

Or, of course, he didn't realise that what he was saying was
dangerous nonsense.

He probably does now, since he has apparently proclaimed that
his daily briefing are "not worth the time and effort".
And that's the most sensible thing he has said recently.

No fool??? Not in evidence. At a very minimum his mental abilities are in question as demonstrated by his nearly complete inability to form complete sentences and form a recognizable thought.

90%+ of his press briefings result in people thinking he said things he and only his most adamant supporters claim he didn't say. The rest of his supporters just ignore his mental lapses. The most pronounced indicator of his failing mental state is his inability to remember even the recent past, denying he has said the things that are on video for him and the rest of the world to see.

It's sad to see the decline of a formerly great man. It's sad to see the decline of Trump too.

Cursitor Doom confirms - not for the first time - that he is fool. What Trump said was dangerous nonsense. God only knows what he thought he was saying, but he clearly should have expressed whatever non-foolish idea he might have in some decidedly different way.

When Joe Rogan was asked this (by E. Wwienstein) he said

(and she served in the armed forces.)

Sounds a bit more likely to me.

the BBC or CNN just for good measure?

I know some 'mericans live in their own bubble, but surely you must know
how must the rest of the world just laughs at Trump? He really is a
