Twitter is going ape-shit over the fact that Trump said the air in India is filthy:

“Look at China, how filthy it is. Look at Russia. Look at India — how filthy.” Trump weighs in on climate change and pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord #debates2020 https://t.co/IT97xbF6pp pic.twitter.com/l1PwONUER0

Remember that history starts right after Trump says something true, so before they are deleted let me link to some news:

The Financial Times, December 10, 2018:

Dirty air: how India became the most polluted country on earth
With the situation worse than it ever was in neighbouring China the Modi government is struggling to introduce measures to combat the problem

Al Jazeera, March 5, 2019:

India has the world’s worst air pollution: report
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and China are home to the 50 cities worldwide with the dirtiest air, new study shows.

CNN, February 25, 2020:

21 of the world’s 30 cities with the worst air pollution are in India

The New York Times, October 15, 2020:

What Happens When Covid-19 Meets Toxic Air? India Is About to Find Out
Every fall, air pollution spikes in India. Doctors worry what it will mean for coronavirus patients with breathing problems.

Just for fun, I’m going to post this video from The Guardian, about the Yamuna river in India.  One of the most polluted rivers in the world.  It is so polluted that it is dead, nothing lives in its toxic waters.

So, I’ll ask again, where is the lie?

I have so many quippy comments for this video:

There is no replacement for displacement.

God created all men but Henry Ford made them equal.

If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid.

Quite a few Somali terrorists in Mogadishu learned it wasn’t the best idea to stand in front of a HMMWV and try to shoot the driver.

And the stupidity that has affected a Georgia state rep and a teenage “policy expert” at Harvard, has slammed into the media like a train.

This is now a talking point.

The only way to make Trump wrong is to erase the definition of a term that until the debate last night was a widely understood to be a term for a human smuggler.

Mintrue strikes again.

Miguel found a Tweet from a Georgia lawyer and state rep that was very stupid.

She only went to Oglethorpe.

David Hogg is at Harvard and has been declared a policy expert by many Democrats, and while Kendrick is only barely known in Georgia, Hogg is famous on the national level.

First thing: Her English is way worse than mine.

Bless her heart. Care to figure which party she belongs to?

Oh yes! Dar’shun Kendrick is an elected public figure. And it gets worse.

She got elected, but sure as hell not for her capabilities.

I was checking what was coming up (if anything) on TV in the near future and I got this for election night November 3rd and November 4th:

The DirecTV guide is supposed to hold 14 days of programming. and we are only 11 days away from the election.

Interesting.
