    No, actually, I walked home and took several co-workers with me. I lived on E. 6th St. between Ave A and B. We were nearly there when the first tower fell.

    Rudy was at his best in the following days, then Bloomberg handled cleanup and rebuilding really well.

    Which part of the wife's quote did CNN make up? She said they tried this stuff directly after listening to Trump. Perhaps it isn't me who needs a little learning ... just a thought.

    And if learning is why you're here, why are all of your replies to me deliberately insulting on a personal level?

    She tried the 'stuff'........so tell me, did they try the right stuff? in what imaginary world do you think these people live in? Same as yours obviously. So we have 1 couple in the entire world that listened to Trump? No. We have 1 couple that did something pretty stupid.

    I don't know why I waste my time, but you obviously will not admit that the drug Trump was talking about, is not the same drug they took. Honest question, do you really hate Trump that you cannot admit what he said, and what they took, are not the same? There is no wrong answer here.

    So what is the point of this thread? That lefty politicians can say whatever they want on twitter but righty ones can't? We already knew this. Thanks for the reminder though

    Question: do you really like Trump so much that you don't believe this woman's own words that they tried this stuff right after listening to Trump describe it as a possible cure? The article quoted her, I've included that quote in my posts, so why do you continue to deny that fact?

    My sister-in-law was teaching school nearby when the planes hit. She described a mob all heading south and she joined them.

    How times have changed! When I was in school in the early seventies the lower east side was a place to be avoided at all costs. I only ventured there once to entertain a young lady who wanted to go to a jazz club on some street between Avenues C and D. It was the sort of place where the men's room had blood splattered on the floor from people shooting up.

    But I wax nostalgic.

    Only if it decides to shut its web site and leave us all alone. But seriously, companies should choose whichever policies work best for them.

    That person will not admit the difference because CNN told him it wasn't. Plain and simple.

    Nope. I'm just an average person who under no circumstances will ever take fish bowl cleaner as any kind of medicine. Call me crazy.

    Neither would I, but it is a fact, one you keep arguing, that this couple did so right after listening to Trump talk about the stuff being a possible cure. And instead of admitting that your snarky replies to me on this fact were an error on your part, you backpedal. No apology? None for having been wrong? None for having been snarky about it? Typical.

    How are they two different things? When the surviving wife stated clearly that they took the stuff shortly after Trump touted it as a possible cure?

    And there you go again with the snarkiness and personal insults. I've been painstakenly civil with you.

    No hope. You call that a personal insult? Safe space?

    Calling someone naive is a personal insult, yes. Ask the forum moderators. And don't be surprised if some of your posts get deleted for that reason. See Rule 2.

    I try not to post anything that I wouldn't say to someone's face. I believe it's called good manners.

    Naive means to believe in whatever you are told. It's quiet obvious this is the case. You believe strongly in something you were told about this despite the facts.

    Silencing dissent.
    Dems are relentlessly trying to follow the steps of great leaders like Pootin.

    Who will decide which Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, etc accounts should be closed? What would be the criteria? On what basis would a public forum decide you and I and Giuliani can no longer post?

    :roflol:

    Using the word "believe" in association with me would have anyone who knows me rolling on the floor, laughing their butts off with tears coming out of their eyes!

    Seriously, I don't believe anything I hear and only half of what I see. Been that way all my life. I even tested negative for VMAT2, the so-called "god gene." Boy, are you ever barking up the wrong tree!

    I've always preferred knowledge to belief or blind faith. I leave that to the Trump apologists.

    "The poisoned woman said she and her husband each took a spoonful of chloroquine phosphate, which they had around the house as a fish-tank cleaner. She says they saw “chloroquine” on the label and figured it was what Trump was talking about."

    Which part of that statement makes sense to you?

    Did Trump tell anyone, state a real quote, article or clip where he said to take this drug on your own?

    Please state any reference where Trump said to take fish bowl cleaner.

    I will wait......

    Easy. Any that contains false or misleading information about the epidemic. That's twitter's policy. And it's the reason why Giuliani's account was banned.
