Mr. Trunp is wondering if injecting bleach may be a cure for Covid I think antibiotics are disinfectants so Trumps comments made complete sense. He never said injecting bleach. Are you taking anything for your TDS?

Bogus wars means the rationale for the war is bogus.. Iraq.. WMD. Let me turn this one around on you... as a thought experiment. A hypothetical. Consider it, for a moment, as if, perhaps your "facts" are wrong ? Assume, for the moment... that you knew for a fact, to a certainty... that Iraq in fact had WMD. Assume, purely for the sake of argument... that it was also true that they were in fact working various programs to create more WMD, exactly as the fear was presented in advocating for the war ? So, that German built "dairy" intended for making baby formula... wasn't making baby formula ? Etc. Whatever issue or program... just assume the worst was true. So... IF that's true... that the WMD existed, and there were ongoing WMD programs as claimed... And if we saw, after the war ended, what the leaders at the time said openly about Iraq and WMD as a relevant factor considered not only in advocating for the war, but considered after the fact in how it influenced the conduct of the war... the way it was prosecuted... and the analysis of the specifics in the outcome after the fact ? So, Iraqi WMD existed and were relevant... but, then, suddenly the "truth" about them was changed ? Then, given there must be a conspiracy... and an associated theory as required to back the conspiracy... The problem is that that theory has to explain why it might be that the powers that be... would like that truth about WMD to be made... to disappear ? If Iraq had WMD... why are the media now so, so, SO, very, VERY insistent... that they did not ? And then... you tell me... after explaining why... Which is scarier... the truth of Iraq having had WMD... or the insistent denial, after the fact, saying that they never had them when they did ? Why would that knowingly wrong claim being made... ever be considered "necessary" ? I'd not limit your consideration... to only politics... but if you assume it was all about politics... perhaps it wasn't just the politics of convenience of Democrats being for the war before they were against it ? Really... what would it necessarily have to suggest in a reason... for the media and the left to find it critically important to close ranks on that subject... and banish considering any suggestion otherwise ?
