Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

That's it, Rick. Keep it superficial. Deliberately misunderstand. Split hairs. Pick nits. Anything to keep from thinking about what you've been supporting these last few years...

Re: I've been waiting for this, but somehow I'm still shocked...

See, this is what I'm talking about, Rick. The President of the United States says that: 1) We have to open the economy. 2) We have to send the kids back to school. 3) We have to postpone the election. And you, a supposedly patriotic American, denigrate my concerns as TDS. How many presidents can yo...

Also this. Please, watch the whole interview. It's less than 4 minutes long.

Re: Not to kick a dead horse, but come on!

It seems to me that Stella took heat because 1) the President shared her inaccurate and dangerous claims about Covid and 2) he said that, although he didn't know anything about her, hers was a strong voice that we should be listening to, and 3) she believes that ovarian cysts are caused by astral se...

Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

Fair enough.

We should all be wearing masks and Trump shouldn't be retweeting videos made by crazy people who say that masks aren't necessary.

Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

If Birtherism isn't racist how would you characterize it? And "good people on both sides"? And "kung flu"? Here's a whole list of examples. You can look for ways to rationalize each incident and/or comment, but collectively they paint a pretty damning picture. You can be hyper sp...

Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

Cognitive dissonance indeed! If the things that you're saying are true it should take you about 90 seconds to list a bunch of evidence to support them, yet you always seem to reply with a snappy one liner rather than evidence . I can easily support every single one of my criticisms of Donald Trump,...

Re: Not to kick a dead horse, but come on!

The media? No. Trump made it political. If hydroxychloroquine had worked then it would have near universal political support, the media would be trumpeting its effectiveness, and the new issue would probably be a global shortage of the drug. It's a political issue because the President and his enabl...

How you don’t see that is beyond me.
You tend to say stuff like that. You don't tend to support it. So why do you believe those things? What are your sources? Where's your evidence?

Re: Not to kick a dead horse, but come on!

I don’t know the first thing about hydroxychloroquine, and if it works or not. But there are other doctors who aren’t fruitcakes like this lady, and they swear by it. Could we maybe try discussing the efficacy of the drug, instead of just dismissing it just because a crackpot happens to promote it?...

Re: Not to kick a dead horse, but come on!

Racism? Are you kidding me? She's pushing hydroxychloroquine as a cure, even though it hasn't been shown to be beneficial and can be dangerous, and she's saying that masks aren't useful, even though they've been shown to be effective in slowing the spread of the virus, are inexpensive, and pose no r...

Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

You were propagandized by communist propaganda over time,many Americans were. We were taught to desire socialism to fix all of our problems with capitalism. Nope. What I believe is that there are some things that capitalism does extremely well, and others that it does extremely poorly. For example,...
