Contrary to what Our Beloved Leader suggested yesterday....

"Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light...Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do, either through the skin or in some other way...Then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in one minute. Is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning?"
-- Trump at Coronavirus Task Force Briefing

DO NOT inject yourself with or ingest cleaners. They will not kill the virus, they might kill you or give you other forms of permanent damage.

And if you have the virus, exposure to ultraviolet light WILL NOT kill the virus and make you whole again. That virus is in you and replicating, light ain't gonna do nuthin' to it.

Our President is an idiot. In other news, water is wet.

The Current Administrator is looking for as simple a solution as he can find that will allow him to have this in the rearview as quickly as possible so it doesn't join the Katamari of terrible that should be threatening to roll him up and take away his electoral chances. (Or that should have sent him off with a red card long before this.)

I still advocate that everyone who files for running for POTUS must take the test for citizenship - ON CAMERA - and pass it before the application is accepted.  No pass, then you're not running this cycle.  That would have knocked him out in '16.

That would discourage a large lot of people, as the citizenship test is deliberately mean and covers things most people don't touch in their schooling.

That would certainly restrict the available people for President to people wonky enough to know how the government works. I can imagine that not sitting well with the party that wants to appeal to baser instincts than intellect.

Will he invoke the Defense Production Act to have Ventec and GM switch over to producing tanning booths now?

ROFL!

Well, I would be if my ribs and knee and hand didn't hurt.

[murakozi]

But who will produce the radium suppositories for us?

[thewayne]

I don't know WHO will make them (except for a Trump campaign supporter, and they'll be shoddily made), but I can tell you WHERE they'll be made.... https://www.google.com/maps/place/Radium+Springs,+NM+88007/@32.4849455,-106.9736227,12z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x86de37de64e86267:0x88b6bcaf2009bbe8!8m2!3d32.4928349!4d-106.9106762
