They should ring a bell during Trump’s speech

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

It has been suggested that this evening networks should run a Correction Stream across the bottom of the screen, correcting all the lies that Trump will inevitably spew.

Kathleen had a much better idea.

They should ring a bell.

Every time he lies, as he inevitably will repeatedly, we should hear a bell ding like a hotel desk bell. Networks can then run a real time update online, and every time they ring the bell, you can check and see what the latest lie is. I think the sound effect would add a demented gravitas to it; it’ll be like an episode of Stephen Colbert.

  1. I’d suggest making a drinking game of it, but I worry that too many people would die of alcohol poisoning.

  3. Forget the audio cues — some network should just use digital enhancement to make Trump’s nose grow like Pinnochio’s every time he lies.

  4. There’s only one thing I got from his speech: The audible inhaling from his nose (I watched CNN). It’s like he’s snorting in reverse.

    1. Regarding that “breathing problem” . . . a Facebook post from a VERY reliable (on this topic) friend:
      .
      “I say this as a seasoned drug user: 4 minutes in, he starts getting the drips. It should surprise nobody that I have insufflated, in my lifetime, cocaine, meth, MDMA, and various other snortable drugs.
      .
      Watch. If you watch his ten minute mild tantrum, he starts getting the drips about 3-4 minutes in, and they get worse with every minute.
      .
      Which leads me to believe he snooted a big fat rail of something within a minute of the camera rolling.
      .
      I am being very serious. This president just bìŧçhëd about illegal aliens smuggling in illegal drugs WHILE HE WAS HIGH ON DRUGS.
      .
      (For those who have never snorted a hard drug up their nose: The drips are what happen about 3-10 minutes after. Your sinuses start producing a LOT of mucus, since you just coated them with chemicals that make them feel bad. Your nose begins to run. To combat this, you begin sniffing deeply as often as you can, so that the snot-ball of residue goes down the back of your throat. This is one of the reasons that hard drugs are so glamorous, in reality. Watch that presidential address and tell me I’m wrong. Especially any of you who’ve snorted hard drugs. The President was coked up, or at least crushed and honked some Adderall. Tell me I’m wrong.)”
      .
      As noted by other friends in follow-up comments to this thread, one cited and linked an article by a former “The Apprentice” staffer saying that Trump constantly snorts Adderall and can’t read. Another friend posted close-up images of Trump’s eyes during the address, in which his pupils are dilated to the size of a bottlecap, under bright camera lighting in an enclosed space.
      .
      So . . . yeah. You just watched the @#$%ing PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES give a NATIONALLY TELEVISED ADDRESS while HIGH ON SPEED.
      .
      Just absorb that.

  5. If every time the bell rings an angel loses his/her/hir wings then it would start raining feathers.

    It would probably sound like the end of a round of boxing where the fighters ignore the bell and and just keep punching at each other and the bell person just star hammering the bell like crazy to try to make the fighters stop.

  6. So.. it would be like a reverse Harrison Bergeron, because this time the sound distracts the outside form stupid?
