Seriously...I realize the clip was cut off as Acosta blathered on, but he's a dimwit.  He starts in with ....those people are protesting...presumably implying that if tens of thousands of people are infected and die, it's acceptable to him personally. 

 

It is amazing that he can continue with a straight face. 

 

 

 

People who are protesting anything that is also supported by the liberal media express less ACE2 receptors on their epithelial cells. Whereas heathens who gather at a Trump rally have consituitive overexpression of ACE2 receptors, thus rendering them far more likely to become infected and spread the disease.  This is all well established bro-science dude!

Excerpts of Bolton's book are coming out, and as expected they're not pretty.   Solidifies the image of a scattershot narcissist.  

Bolton or Trump?  None of the revelations coming out are surprising at all.  Trump wanted a foreign leader to help him politically win reelection by agreeing on a policy?  No way.  That hasn't happened during the first term of a presidency since the IPhone 4 came out.

well established bro-science, or well established (pregnant pause) bro (pregnant pause) science (pregnant pause) dude! 

 

I'm not sure if "bro-science" is a thing but if it is, I want no part of anything approximating sausage science. 

 

Much love to Toastmaster's International for the 'pregnant pause' and clarity all around.

Trump obviously.   Difference from other politicians of course, is that Trump still favors those who are complimentary of him, and the Chinese perfectly played the playbook.

Are you truly arguing that is unique to Trump in the Presidency?

Yeah, Trump is in a different stratosphere in this regard.  Always had been.  Why would he change when he got to the White House?

This was already well known by other world leaders that you should use over the top flattery to get what you want.  Just look at the Ukraine call and Zelensky started off by bombarding him with praise.

broscience is typically used in the exercise science and/or nutrition field by meat heads who expound on anecdotal observations as proven scientific fact.  In this case it perhaps doesn't really apply to the media, Trump and the risks associated with covid19 since the media doesn't really worry about broscience, psuedoscience or actual science.  They just engage in hypocrisy whenever it suits the narrative.

That's why I said the book reinforced the narrative.

Yeah.  Former employees have said similar things.  It tells me more about Bolton as he could've testified in the impeachment hearings but chose not to for book profits.

Trump signs Uyghur human rights bill on same day Bolton alleges he told Xi to proceed with detention camps

 

"With only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do,"

 

Bolton writes. "The National Security Council's top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China."

 

The US State Department estimates that more than one million Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and members of other Muslim minority groups have been detained by the Chinese government in internment camps, where they are reportedly "subjected to torture, cruel and inhumane treatment such as physical and sexual abuse, forced labor and death."
