    Six feet, when both are wearing masks. I believe it's 30 feet, otherwise, in well ventilated areas. I don't know the number for indoors.

    I do not like Biden. I voted for Trump. Not this time around. Trump has been irresponsible

    Weird... it's like CNN didn't even hear the actual speech and then wrote an Orwellian propaganda piece designed for "Useful Idiots". It was inclusive and focused on Minority gains pre and post CV-19. It was about bringing people together.

    He never had my vote. Even though his policies added thousands of dollars to my business’s bottom line over the last few weeks he hasn’t earned it yet. What’s relevant is the fact an invitation was made and accepted without coercion. The ethnicity of the invited and the opinions of “experts” is not relevant. “These people” made their decision. We ought to respect their decision. They don’t need us insinuating they were coerced or aren’t qualified to make their own decisions.

    Ha! It's really not all that far fetched. He's arguably been working to lose reelection since he was elected.

    With Covid involved, of course, their conduct is mine and everyone’s business

    They have to justify it per the contract. Good luck proving that.

    And per the rules everyone was required to wear a mask before entering. But again, you're blaming Trump instead of the few people that chose to take their masks off. You are continually proving that you are not a Republican by doing so.

    You responded to a post that said "We his base of Constitutionalistic / Nationalistic Americans". Given the context it didn't sound like you were talking about Trump.

    Per the CDC:

    https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/social-distancing.html

    Nothing in that suggests 30 feet. Yes, it does say "and wear a mask". But since Trump was farther than 6ft from everyone pretty sure it as just fine.

    Trump hosted the event, yep he gets the blame. This is akin to “Social host” liability as far as I am concerned which is why he will not get my vote this time

    Remember he really didn't expect to win in 2016. Once he did the victory might well have driven him crazy and the rigors of this campaign seem to have completed the job. He was never really that stable a genius to begin with

    And here as an antidote some pure true news:

    The earth will start getting cooler:


    We will develope herd mentalityy:


    wind turbine 'noise causes cancer'
    https://twitter.com/i/status/1113407045749944320

    “Between 3 million and 5 million illegal votes caused me to lose the popular vote.”

    the coronavirus will ‘miraculously’ go away by April

    Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu.

    President Trump did not gain from the last tax cut

    Did Trump have those people there at gunpoint? If not, they are free citizens accepting a risk of their own volition...

    Do some research. That is like asking if water is wet.

    See the thing is, I have. Go to post #59 above and read the bit about Trump using the 100,000 number for flu deaths annually. You likely believe as the poster above that isn’t true. It is in fact true, and I presented the actual scientific evidence showing it is in this thread.
    http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/another-trump-tweet-breaks-the-rules.579409/

    Here is the beginning of my participation in the thread.
    The reason my views conflict with yours is because I base mine on science. Yours are based on misrepresentation of science by mainly reporters and even researchers in some cases. I’ve posted widely on the scientific aspects of this pandemic. I encourage you to show me anywhere I’m incorrect on the fundamental science. Unlike those who believe what makes them feel good, I implore others to scrutinize my work because I want the truth and am uninterested in using “science” or misrepresentation of science to score political points.

    When I get to this point with PF members it goes one of two ways. Either it quickly devolves into ad hominem on the part of the other member towards me, or the other member actually does their own research (not sound bytes from media) and we all learn something. Choose wisely.

    I am not interested in this baloney. When you have something substantive we can discuss otherwise please do not bother me

    What's not misleading is that Democrats will not condemn blm or antifa or the riots or the defund the police movement or the absurd claim that whites, LEO's, and the justice system is racist. To not condemn this mounting, destructive mentality is to endorse it. And that, leftists do for votes. Biden sits square in the midst of this criminal movement. In fact he is chief amongst them.
