    Btw, just wanted to point out...CNN shows Trump up on a balcony and practically everyone else in that crowd having masks. So...social distancing + masks for everyone else...the odds of him infecting anyone is almost nil.

    So you admit to ignoring reality?


    Respect is earned, not given. And when you spread false narratives you don't deserve respect.

    Though the event was held outside at the Rose Garden, the majority of the 180-plus people in attendance sat close to each other for an extended period, and most didn’t wear masks. There were smaller indoor gatherings as part of the occasion.

    Did he force them to be there? I see no evidence of that.

    Most of what I read that Trump said is true. As for health concerns, I'm sure proper procedure was followed. And of course everyone is an adult with free choice and common sense to come, go and act as seems them right and beneficial.

    Then lets use Bidens words. Asked what he’d say to gun owners worried that Biden would be coming for their guns, he quickly answered: "Bingo! You're right, if you have an assault weapon. The fact of the matter is assault weapons should be illegal. Period. The Second Amendment doesn't say you can't restrict the kinds of weapons people can own.

    Bidens definition of an assault weapon is any gun with a high capacity magazine. That includes hand guns.

    Biden has long supported bans on assault weapons and firearms with high-capacity magazines, as well as universal background checks for gun purchases. As a senator from Delaware, Biden took part in crafting the 1994 assault-weapons ban.

    And you think I am obfuscating and rationalizing Trumps words? You don't even know the candidate you are voting for.

    I have decided who I am voting for. I know I will not vote for a Trump because of the way he has handled Covid

    CNN's own video showed most of them wearing masks. I never said all of them. That you found a picture with 8 people out of 180 does not mean anything other than there were a few idiots there. That you didn't use CNN's own video but had to find a close up picture shows that you are ignoring that most did wear masks. You also ignored the fact that Trump was up high on a balcony in front of a podium and a fence. I'd estimate at least 4-5 feet between him and the fence. Not sure how many feet away the people were from the white house but I'm 99.9% sure that they were not right up on it. Particularly since right below that balcony there are steps that go out past the balcony several feet. And I doubt anyone was allowed on it outside of white house staff.

    It's called personal responsibility. If you actually are a Republican then I'm sure you know the concept and agree with it. IE: it was these peoples choice to go there where they knew someone had covid.

    So you were wrong about me obfuscating and rationalizing Trumps words. You won't vote for Trump because you got sold the loony lefts bag of goods. You would rather vote for a candidate that hates the constitution, wants to pack the SCOTUS, demands you stay home while destroying the economy making you dependent on the government because they told you to, admitted several times your taxes are going up, will require you to pay for healthcare for illegal aliens, will open our borders, and end the use of fossil fuels. But you hate Trump more than you care about what Biden stands for.

    You didn't even know Bidens stance on gun control.

    Trump is not absolved from his conduct. He acted selfish and irresponsible

    As your own "factchecker" notes...Biden says "redirect"...tell me...what does "redirect" mean? Doesn't it mean to take from one area (in this case police) and move it to another area? Now, what does "defund" mean? To take away money. Correct? Well, when you "redirect" money from the police and put it into other programs then you ARE taking money from the police, IE: Defunding. All that the "factchecker" is doing is parsing words. The end result is the same.

    He stayed more than 6 ft away from the crowd. As per the CDC guidelines. He observed social distancing. You do believe in science right? CDC based that on science.

    So, if he observed the CDC's recommendation and followed it then wouldn't that mean that he was acting responsibly? "selfish" is your own opinion.

    Can't even attempt to debunk what I said? Not surprised since everything I stated was factual.

    When you say things like: "The content of his talk is equally desperate claiming the police will be defunded etc." Then the thread is also about that. The only reason you no longer wish to talk about that is because you have been debunked on it and refuse to acknowledge that or that CNN is spreading falsehoods by stating that Trump "falsely stated". Its not "falsely stated" if it is correct.
