Once again the LSM is pushing a bullshite narrative. As I posted previously, Donald Trump does not have a financial interest in Hydroxychloroquine. His finances are in a blind trust, and among the many thousands of stocks in the index fund of which he is an owner, he has a negligible interest (read $1,500) in the manufacturer of HCQ. Yet MSN has put out there a ridiculous and misleading headline: "The French Connection: Trump Family Trusts Are Invested in Hydroxychloroquine Maker"

Its getting old. Regardless if one voted for Trump or not, the shitty behavior by the legacy media purveyors is beneath contempt.

Not a Trump fan but I agree with you. I don't know even know some of the stocks I own in some funds I have. I think there are several in the media that want to sink the country just to get Trump out of office. I'm not going to vote for him but I won't be an apoplectic marcher if he wins either. I've got too much shite to do.

They also leave out the part where HCQ's patent is expired and is currently being produced by dozens of companies. And it sells for $0.32/pill.

Nobody is getting rich off of HCQ.

Eta: not sure why you are starting a thread about an article that is 6 weeks old.

Meanwhile Fauci and other docs are pushing that remdesivir since that is still under patent and the sky is the limit on that. Somewhere close to $1,500 per dose and it takes multiple doses to work.

They are all heavily invested in that remdesivir.

I was about to post the exact thing. It's always BS when there isn't a comment section.

I did take the survey to get the results and answer it wasn't a big deal, I mean the dude gives his salary away and we are talking the amount of money he has bet on a hole of golf, if not a shot. The crazy part is the other questions it asked.

It asked what do you think about the future of smart devices.... Would they be scarce, some will have them or they will be common.

My opinion on 3 actors.... Tom Hanks, Merrel Streep and some other left wing idiot.

My age.

My sex.

Then they asked my employment.

After answering you could see the answers from all that took the survey. A third of the people that answered were unemployed before the lock down which would explain why they think it's a big deal.

TDS is real, fellas. Everything is politicized and it's sad.

Not looking for an argument, but what at this point would have you voting for Biden over Trump? Or is it a 3rd party candidate you are eying?

Then there is the $1,200,000 that Big Pharma Novartis paid Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen during the campaign and after.

They are in Hydroxychloroquine trials now.

Well, it's a fair question...choosing between Biden and Trump is like choosing between the measles and the mumps. I don't trust Trump because I believe narcissists like him are dangerous. However some of the things he's done I agree with...someone had to stand up to China. Not always in the manner of how he does it. He's hard to stomach. Much of his base are absolute morons who follow him strictly for the "frick you" factor.

That said, a lot will ride on who Biden picks as his running mate because I think there is a very good chance he doesn't make it 4 years. If he picks Abrams he will get slaughtered. Even I would not vote for him in that case. The Dems have to stand on something other than "we hate Trump" or calling everyone they disagree with a racist. Same for the Trumpbots. Its gotta be something more than calling those with whom they disagree "cucks" or "libtards". The lion's share of the people on this board would vote for Trump if he killed babies while fricking a chicken on the White House lawn. They have no ability to discern what's going on with any degree of objectivity.

Guys like me will decide the 10% swing.

Please give us a list of Politicians who aren't narcissists.


The guy before Trump was one of the biggest Narcissists in this countrys' History, but funnily enough, it never comes up.

The lady who ran against Trump is a raging Narcissist, but funnily enough it never comes up.

For all his faults, Trumps' a Saint compared to the alternatives and those who came before him.

Do you mean narcissists specifically like him or narcissists in general?

I'm of the opinion that all that those that seek public office, especially on the national level, are narcissists. Who else would think THEY have the power or ability to change the world other than someone who thought very highly of themselves.

Narcissism and sociopathy likely go hand in hand with great leaders.

Fair point.

I'll have to disagree with you there. I have worked for many great leaders to have the best interest of their people at heart. When I started my own firm I wanted to model my style after them. Enrolling not threatening. Motivating not manipulative. It can be done.

Exactly.

Noted, I do agree with you on some of your Trump points, but I will rebut of sorts with this:

Trump is a narcissist, he lashes out, and takes public potshots at people all of the time, and speaks in hyperbole often. While those aren't the most desirable qualities, I look at what he's doing when he isn't talking or tweeting and I honestly believe he has the best interest of this country at heart in everything he does. I can't sat the same thing for Biden, honestly I'm scared for this country if he's elected. His ties with China, especially after everything recent with that country, just do not speak to me as him having the best interest of the US as part of his plan. That's way above the myriad of other reasons I just could never vote for him.
