    LOL! I doubt superman would have needed 20 doctors and cutting edge antibody therapy (not available to the perps, btw) to beat covid. Let them eat cake.

    After over $100 million spent on Hillary's emails alone by Republican lead hearings you'd think they'd have found something more than "naughty girl" and that was before she ran for president. Now all of a sudden you think great revelations will come out?

    Chris Christie is selling bridges just as soon as he recovers from covid-19, you should write him.

    What I don't understand is that people think he was cured. No. He's still infected because there is no cure, only treatments. Until he passes the 14 days from symptoms mark he is still in danger. It's 14 days with treatment and a fortnight without. Has no one heard of not tempting fate? If he relapses it'll somehow be the left's or his doctor's fault.

    You didn't say it, you implied it. Just like your second line implies that you 1- can only see the world in black vs white (yes vs no, does vs doesn't...) with nothing in between and 2- that after 10 months of this crisis, you still don't understand how masks work. It's not that all Republicans have these deficiencies, but they are very typical among Republicans.

    BTW, no vaccine is in full production. Except the Russian vaccine. Was that the one you meant?

    I implied no such thing...you made a massive assumption...or worse yet, intentionally misrepresented what I said...which is your MO.

    Mask don't keep you from getting sick, and it's highly reckless for you to go around suggesting that to people. Frankly, your post should be flagged and removed

    Where the hell do you guys get this "zero" nonsense? Hannity?

    Even if masks reduced it to zero (which only a right-winger would claim) it makes no difference because the Super-spreader In Chief refused to wear one anyway.

    I think the problem is that you display extremists views, but you haven't yet figured out which extreme you favor. There is a center, you know. It is possible to support somebody, without defending their most indefensible actions. It is also possible to disagree with what somebody says or does without wishing they die.

    Your whole strategy is based on hyping the fear.

    It is true that no campaign to stop Covid will work with people who don't fear dying. But that's not a "strategy". It's an assumption.

    Utterly ridiculous. You could have stopped with it doesn't make much difference again as long as it is less than 100 percent effective, and everyone agrees that it is, then it is only a matter of time til you get the damn thing. In the mean time insulting people over this is just lame.

    You insist on making all threads about me.

    In any case, how is it possible that after 10 months of this crisis, there are still so many on the right who don't understand how masks work? Don't they explain these things on Alex Jones, Limbaugh, Hannity... or other QAnon media?

    I've held the same, consistent views for well over 25 years. I think the problem is that you don't understand them or the logic upon which the are based.

    Over the years here I have created a couple of threads going through it step by step. If you are interested, I will point you to them.

    And it's clearly studied that wearing the mask can protect you from those airborne pathogens so what exactly is you and others fears..

    The other post:
    I made it about that silly close up pic of Trump taking off his mask, you just happen to be the one that posted it ;)

    Or maybe you don't explain any logic. For example, what possible logic would there be behind hoping the President of the United States? I mean, you can cheer for whatever the hell you want. But don't call it "logic".

    No! Not how it works. You need to show your logic as you are making your case. You can't just put up a treatise about yourself and expect everybody to have learned it when they read your posts. Such expectation would not be logical at all.

    Not the reason why people wear masks! But Covid discussions are in a completely different sub-forum. If you don't know how masks work, go there. But don't derail this one. What we are discussing here is yet another piece of evidence proving that Trump is an irresponsible slob. I have no wish to have any more of my posts that contain real arguments deleted, only because you derail the topic or you turn it into a personal matter. I'm not here for that. I'm here to discuss real issues.

    Well then why bring it up, or better yet post it to the forum you clearly think they need to go!

    Yep the phrase "I feel 20 years younger" is a colloquialism that's been around for more than century. Making a big deal out of that is pointlessly ridiculous.
