They also don't like to be told what to do. I think we will have to wait and see.

This feels more like hope than anything. The guy has some Teflon on him for sure. The press have been going to great lengths to smear the guy, and people generally are not buying it.

I think both can be true at the same time.

Maybe you need a break from reading any of this stuff.

I'm confused as to what your point is here. Are you upset that some folks hoped that HCQ could help alleviate COVID symptoms?

What is your issue with rural America? Thrice are narrow minded, but nobody would need IDs for ANYTHING! I keed, I keed. Diversity in and of itself isn't a good or bad thing. Sometimes you mix a bunch of ingredients together and you get hot dogs and Cheerios: But sometimes you get Korean tacos:

There are also psychological issues with forcing kids to wear masks. What do you think the percentage of grade schoolers catching Covid and dying would be if they were not in school vs in school with masks vs in school without masks? Because if there are ANY more deaths for kids in school with masks then kids at home,, your stance is hypocritical. I feel like you are using science like most people use statistics here oldie.

No shlt. And if this virus is as dangerous to them as you fear then until the vaccine is available to grade schoolers you should be shouting for remote learning from the rooftops, otherwise your putting kids in danger.

By your silly logic YOU are putting kids in danger by trying to force them into schools when they aren't vaccinated. CHILD MURDERER!!! But seriously, you understand, right?

Children are wards of their parents, not the state. But by your logic in this thread, why aren't you in DC picketing to keep kids out of school this fall altogether if it's so dangerous for them? Or mandating flu shots? Or canceling sports? Or going outside?

I don't think you understand what a dictatorial is. A dictatorial will dictate that no one wears masks. Is the school and local governments just institutions? Wouldn't putting that decision in the hands of the people who send their kids to school be less dictatorial then making it governments call?

Read my post above.

Many Americans are seemingly willfully unaware of the "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me" adage when it comes to political promises. Even GWB couldn't get it right.

Never underestimate the vote-purchasing power of free money.

What did Biden tell us about Afghanistan just a month ago? You don't have to be afraid to admit they both suck, Tibs. It's ok, I promise.

I don't think we'd be well off regardless of who won, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't be just as concerned with Biden's mental health as you were with Trump's. Trump seemed to be a steady sort of sociopathic narcissist. Biden is a whole other animal. He just doesn't even seem to remember what he said a month ago.

I am curious to hear @oldmanfan's take on this. He seemed pretty sure Biden was still ok last time we discussed.

I know it's been used as political sport to make assumptions about the president's mental health, but I am getting increasingly concerned here. After watching that Stephanopolous interview, he is either losing his mental facility or flat out lying. I can live with the latter because politicians have been doing it all my life, but I am not comfortable with the former.

A cookie tin in times square?

Is this the kind of person you want to be? Own it.

This is kind of despicable.

You are supposed to wear the loin cloth like underwear, not as a ball gag under your masks.

1989 to 2001 is 12 years by my math. Short time in who's book?

I personally had Covid, it was pretty mild.. I survived and then got vaccinated. I don't need saving. I also am not going to die of suffocation from quadruple masking or of loneliness because I cut out friends and loved ones who have different politics than I do. Try to be more open minded.

So you moved to a new town and don't know anyone with covid? You don't think that's a little disingenuous? Come on man. Most people I know who have had it are from Bergen County. And ironically they are primarily democrats, but I am not going to cut them out of my life because of their politics, that's just shltty....
