Passing Peak Trump?

I can't deny that's a possibility.

Once upon a time, for a joke, I started an experimental thread in community section. My goal was to get zero responses. The OP was dull, tedious, vim-less. I failed.

So yes, if you keep bumping the thread, people will inevitably engage. Congrats! It's a remarkable achievement! Your contributions to this forum border on legendary.
 
Biden is ahead of Trump in Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Peak Trump has come and gone. I'd like to see Biden win in Florida, just to add salt to the wound.

We'll settle for a narrow win, but the other side won't. He's gotta be trounced badly enough that he and his basket of deplorables have a real uphill climb in pushing their conspiracies of a rigged election. If it's a close run thing, I shudder at the potential for shenanigans right up to the Supreme Court.

The only thing in this election cycle that will get even more over-the-top media coverage than the rise of Donald Trump will be the decline and exit of Donald Trump. But that at least will be a more tasty meal to slop up.

Is it tasty yet?

No. He told them to inject it.....

No, he didn't. He said that we should waste government resources to look into it. His comments were likely to cause stupid people to self-medicate with disinfectant. Both those things are bad enough.

He did not literally tell anyone to inject disinfectant. He didn't even tell researchers to inject anyone, but to investigate if disinfectant could somehow be used internally.

His actual behavior is stupid enough. I don't see any reason to exaggerate it. In your favor, you corrected someone who said he told people to drink bleach.

Let’s just all reflect for a moment about what it means for our current reality that this is a discussion that is actually happening.

Which is why I see no reason to quibble over details. The fact that all the jokes and memes aren't fair or entirely accurate is hardly a reason to stop them. If Trump doesn't like it, he should resign.

I prefer to convince people by using facts rather than exaggerations. Indeed, one reason I despise Trump is that he can't stick to the truth.

Maybe you don't give a damn one way or the other and think that all that matters is getting the bastard out of office by whatever means necessary (in terms of persuading voters -- I'm presuming violence is a step too far). I disagree.

It's got nothing to do with whether Trump deserves to be treated fairly. I'm not even talking about memes, which are generally beneath contempt. This is a skeptics' forum. We should try to be reasonably accurate. We should avoid strawmen, especially in a case such as this where Trump's own words really are damning enough that hyperbole adds very little.

Probably best not to reflect too much or else drinking bleach might seem a lot more attractive.

I(This is hyperbole, for you a-holes that want to call me out). The point still stands.

If it's such a valid point, how come you won't let it stand without hyperbole? And why do you have to pre-emptively attack and dismiss anyone who questions the hyperbole?

I think maybe the point doesn't stand at all, without the two crutches you've provided. Take away the exaggeration and the well-poisoning, and I bet that point would fall right over. Like one of those gas station air tube guys when you turn off the fan.

A lot of anti-trump sentiment seems to boil down to wild flailing, propped up by fans blowing hot air.
