    Dude there isn't hardly a school system in this country that hasn't taught about evils of racist ideology since I was in school.60 years ago. And every Republican who has spoken out against CRT and the factually errant 1619 Project has spoken without fail spoken in the breath about the evils of racist ideology for they are one and the same.

    Well if there are so many it shouldn't be hard for you to find one. I assume you recall reading such comments, a GOP poster praising the bashing of police? Who said it?

    Wrong a question is not a suggestion to do anything. It is just a question. It was your bud's in the alphabet soup medias attempt to turn death valley into mount everest that killed people not Trump's question.

    At the presidential level, there is such a thing as a stupid question, arising out of ignorance, arising out of mental incompetence where a competent president would have asked what might be a stupid question in private, to vet the concept before saying something utterly stupid in public.

    You forgot to mention that particular detail.

    No, in his question was a suggestion, and it was moronic.

    No, his insistence on not testing at the incipient stages, among other things, when the virus might have been contained accelerated the death trajectory.

    Trump was, therefore, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

    this is an established fact.

    Those who counter this with the notion that 'he brought has a vaccine quickly' negates the fact that all presidents would have fast tracted the vaccine, so that is not a fact one can really brag about.and that fact is greatly offset by his incompetence.

    They ingested the chemical because they thought it was the drug trump mentioned. NOT DEBUNKED.

    NO, they're "right" and they're wrong, wrong for America; which is his point. There's no on here more partisan than you so put down the keyboard Back.

    Wow, you're really one to cast a stone. . . :rolleyes:

    You can say whatever opinion that you want but we see the results of only one disasterous year of a Biden presidency. God help us get through the next three.

    There was no suggestion in his question. That's a load of poppycock. Nothing more than spin in an attempt to blame Trump for the stupidity of other people. If you or I applied the same barometric to Biden then you would have to admit that Biden also is to blame for far more deaths than Trump since more people have died due to covid under him WITH a vaccine than the amount that died under Trump. But we both know such is not true.

    Its also a load of poppycock that Trump "insisted" on not testing at the "incipient stage". For the simple fact that there were no tests designed for it in the incipient stages of it. And even IF such were possible, which it wasn't, it would not have done a damn thing to stop the spread of the virus since even right now it won't show up on any tests until at least 5 days after one becomes infected.

    The only "fact" here is that you'll spin spin spin anything and everything bad into it being Trumps fault. All because of your irrational hatred of the man or your partisanship against the GOP in general. Don't know which it is and don't really care.

    Most people just go ahead and say something meaningful to start with.

    He said, we should check that out. Sounds like a suggestion.

    To the expert. Keep flapping. It does you no good. You will never be able to fly no matter how much you spin.

    I don't make it a practice of BEING partisan and then denegrating people that are; on the first page of this thread that is your main argument. Because, you don't have an argument, demonstrated by your switch to "President Biden"; whom, btw, has done (if you look it up) a pretty good job in the year-plus he's been President. I know the right has made a big deal of his failures, which is disengenous considering they are holding up much of his program in the Senate, but, in spite of that he's done a lot of good for this country since taking office.

    But, so far, you've actually failed to address the OP, other than change the subject and accuse everyone you disagree with of partisanship, which you as much as anyone else are guilty of.

    The polls say most people do not think Biden is doing a pretty good job.

    You just decided to post several paragraphs about me personally. I'm flattered that you think of me so often, however I am not the topic here.
    And the absolute sheer irony is the partisan nature of this thread itself. But of course you have no comment on that because he's on your team...
    Do you have any thoughts on the actual topic, flame bait thread though it is?

    So, if you're watching someone kill someone else are you going to then turn around and kill someone? Of course not.

    Your "logic" is not winning you any arguments.

    Last I knew Democrats hold the majority in the Senate. Blaming the "right" for Biden's failure to bring his side over to his cause is what is disingenuous.

    And if Biden is doing such a good job then why does roughly 60% of the country think otherwise? Oh let me guess...."BUUUTTT TRRRUUUMMMPPP!!!" :rolleyes:

    But IF, and I know you don't, but "IF" you look at what he's managed to get done, in spite of a hostile Senate, he's doing a good job.
