Trump Says To Drink Lots Of Water, Media Reports He Told Everyone To Drown Themselves

[Babylon Bee] At his press conference last night, President Trump told everyone to stay hydrated and drink lots of water.

"Water's tremendous, very powerful stuff," he said. "You won't believe the things they can do with water. Water balloons. Water slides. Water beds. It's amazing. You can freeze it and make ice, I'm told. Ice is great for lots of things. Ice cream. Ice cubes. Igloos."

"Anyway, drink water."

Horrified journalists scrambled to warn Americans not to drown themselves in their pools and bathtubs.

"Trump says water is good -- but this is very misleading," said Rachel Maddow. "Did you know that water kills many people every year? These dangerous, unhinged remarks from the president could cause many to drown themselves. Plus, do you know what's hidden in water? Sharks. This president wants you to die from a shark attack!"

Representatives for various bottled water companies quickly released a statement distancing themselves from the president's remarks and warning everyone not to submerge themselves in the ocean for minutes at a time.

#4 Slightly off-topic: Past few days I've mentioned I still link to Drudge for the weird articles, not the politics. After today's offering of TDS, I quit and deleted the bookmark.
Ah well. there's still the Daily Mail...

#5 I always refer Rantburg as my number one source of information followed up with, https://theconservativetreehouse.com/, https://rantingly.com/ then https://thelibertydaily.com/ but recently, https://bonginoreport.com/ has been great. He has style.

#7 I try Rantburg and Instapundit myself, although I have to say that I am less than impressed by some of the guest bloggers over the there (Ed Driscoll is a moron).

#10 Quite strange, for sure. And because of that, I deleted his bookmark/favorite a few months ago. Just a bunch of Yahoo-like click-bait as well.

#12 The biggest killer chemical on the planet is
dihydrogen monoxide. I made that up, but it has to be right up there.

#14 Snopes responds to Whiskey Mike’s accusation about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO also known in the trade as hydroxl acid) here.

For the curious, the Dihydrogen Monoxide FAQ can be found here, which includes a link to the Material Safety Data Sheet for the stuff.

#15 I've replaced Drudge with Whatfinger. Lots of Bongino, quite a few other excellent references. Some TDS, but usually labeled as such.

#16 Yah. I've been reading WhatFinger, too. In spite of the lousy format. It's like wandering thru your ancient aunt's house looking for a place to sit down.
