Would love to hear your remarks had you been in his place. It's always easy to project your bravado in the face of dangerous circumstances as you type away on your keyboard in the safety of your home. LOL You ain't foolin' nobody.
I hear your rage Tippaporn. It must have been terrifying for Mr. Paul, what with all that shouting and nasty name calling and all that.
Since you seem to be so outraged by this obviously life threatening situation perhaps you could comment on the 17 year old Trump fan who illegally crossed state lines with assualt weapons he wasn't supposed to own and shot 3 people, killing 2 of them?
I mean he wasn't shouting names and doing a bit of shoving so I'm not sure if it's of a level to get your indignation up but perhaps you could comment?

The entire Democrat platform consists of "orange man bad" and "we hate Trump and here's why." And they believe this will propel Biden to the White House. How dumb can a political strategy get? LOL
Not quite. The general tone is a very accurate 'orange man bad' (because he is) and 'we hate Trump' (because we do) but there's an awful lot more substance to it than this barely intellectual narrative you are pushing.
Biden and the Dems also have 46 coherant and workable solutions to many of the problems facing the US today. They include:-
1. JOBS AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN FOR WORKING FAMILIES - https://joebiden.com/build-back-better/
2. A PLAN TO BUILD BACK BETTER BY ADVANCING RACIAL EQUITY ACROSS THE AMERICAN ECONOMY - https://joebiden.com/racial-economic-equity/
3. A PLAN TO BUILD A MODERN, SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE AND AN EQUITABLE CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE - https://joebiden.com/clean-energy/
4. A PLAN TO ENSURE THE FUTURE IS “MADE IN ALL OF AMERICA” BY ALL OF AMERICA’S WORKERS - https://joebiden.com/made-in-america/
5. A PLAN TO SET UP SUPPORT FOR DESERVING SMALL BUSINESSES - https://joebiden.com/smallbusinesses/
6. A PLAN TO COMBAT CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) AND PREPARE FOR FUTURE GLOBAL HEALTH THREATShttps://joebiden.com/covid-plan/
7. A PLAN FOR HEALTH CARE - https://joebiden.com/healthcare/
Of the others he has plans for immigration, war veterans, military families, campaign finance reform, ending gun violence, criminal just reform and 33 other, important and neccessary plans (https://joebiden.com/joes-vision/)
On Trumps website, all you get is asked for money, sold merchandies and asked to remember 'past successes', so can any of you Trump fans do me a favour and actually print some of the policies and platforms Trump is running on for 2020 (what with the election being 4 months away) as apart from a whole bunch of vacuous platitudes, I can't actually see any policy proposals from him (and '4 years of the same doesn't count). Please also only quote official Trump and/or GOP sites because as we've all learned, it really does need to come from the horses mouth.,

Lucky the police haven't been totally defunded and were there to protect the couple from the leftist mob. I don't suppose this violence and intimidation will impress the average voter. Hope they find out who paid for this and take drastic action to stop this disgraceful behaviour.
Firstly, this isn't facism. Not even close. And secondly that is not what 'defunding the police' is about. But you know that right? I mean you've had it explained to you many, many times before but here you are, still trying to push a false narrative of the police being 'totally defunded' when that is not what is being proposed.
If you want to remain willfully ignorant, then of course that's your prerogative but please don't try and fool the better informed. No ones buying what you're badly selling.

Got my first one 6 months ago at Panya Indra. 140 yard par 3, 8 iron into the wind.
Funny thing was I was having such a bad round and it was a blind hole and since I couldn't see it on the green (despite knowing I'd hit a good shot) I was immediately convinced the ball had gone over and rolled off the back. So here I was, loadly cursing and swearing (as golf often does to me) and bemoaning my bad luck to anyone that would listen, when a quick glance into the hole and...voila!!
Many apologies later (including the guys I hadn't seen teeing off to my right) and many, many high fives, we retired to the bar for a VERY expensive, but happily bought round.

73 Former National Security Officials endorse Biden saying Trump is “dangerously unfit for POTUS “
But they’re all again probably got an axe to grind.

I'm glad that you admit to the utter nastiness that's displayed here towards Trump. Those of us not in the Trump hating club have been pointing it out for a long time.
Objectively???
Objectively in favour of Trump, EVERY single time.

"Just some of the quotes from recent threads:"
Don't act so surprised.
Remember, too, that you jumped in my reply to scorecard. My reference to the ridicule in my reply to scorecard was made with those other threads in mind. When you jumped in you said, "What ridicule?" and weren't aware of my reference to other threads and assumed I was referring to this thread only. I think you're all mixed up here. Hope that straightens it out for you.
Saying you're sorry, you got it wrong, is not that hard to do. I did it with you. Time to reciprocate.
There's only one confused person here Tippaporn and it's not me.
Perhaps in future you can keep the threads seperate on not 'cross-quote'. It'll make life a lot easier.
And I'll apologise when i need to. Which isn't in this instance.

Trump touts convalescent plasma as a coronavirus treatment
Time to reciprocate?
So lets just get this staright. You are taking quotes from a post from 4 days ago THAT I'M NOT ON as a reply to my quote here?
And you think that's acceptable etiquette? You think you've got me? Truly only a total Trump fan can think that way.
Ok, I'll amend my post:-
'Who ON THIS THREAD TODAY (NOT INCLUDING THE ONES FROM THAT OTHER POST, YOU KNOW, THE ONE 4 DAYS AGO THAT I'M NOT ON) is 'ridiculing convalescent plasma as a treatment'?

So many false statements in your post above that it's difficult to find a place to begin. I could point them out but you would just deny or spin.
Just some of the quotes from recent threads:
"They’re currently at Power-Buy/Walmart buying up all the ‘Plasmas’ they can lay their hands on."
"Just where did this bloated, blowhard, idiot of a man get his medical degree from. I need a second opinion on my strange disease and would like to book an appointment."
"Probably still busy laughing about the ingestion of disinfectants and uv lights!"
"The nonsense this man comes out with. His narcissism was bad enough, but now paranoia is setting in as well."
"Well, i "heard" it's the blood of virgins that must be injected into the lungs, for a cleaning, or perhaps brought into the body, somehow. and now you've "heard" it, too."
"What amazes me is that his redneck followers cannot see what a fool he is, come on rednecks, OPEN YOUR EYES AND EARS!..........Maybe there is no hope for them either!"
No, this isn't ridicule at all. These are intelligent responses expressing concern as to the efficacy of convalescent plasma, that's all. And no, the sky isn't blue. LOL
What are you on about? I've looked through this thread and not a single one of your 'quotes' has been written by anyone on this thread. Are you taking them from somewhere else and trying to say they are from people talking here? If so, then that's just downright deceitful.
My original post still stands 'Who is 'ridiculing convalescent plasma as a treatment'? Again you twist statements to fit YOUR narrative'.
If you would like to show someone FROM THIS THREAD ridiculing the treatment then I'll listen but please do not try and use other peoples quotes from other threads to justify your stance and twist statements to fit YOUR narrative. Again.

2 hours ago, Tippaporn said:Sorry to say but Mama Noodle is spot on and the attempts to twist the story are coming from elsewhere..
If what you say is true then hydroxychloroquine treatment is valuable. Yet every success story using it is passed off as anecdotal and it's use is universally derided by those here who are ridiculing convalescent plasma as a treatment. Why? Because Trump suggested it. Your statement is false.
Who is 'ridiculing convalescent plasma as a treatment'? Again you twist statements to fit YOUR narrative.
People are rightly saying there is still some doubt about convalescent plasma as an effective treatment as the study done so far did not include a placebo group for comparison BUT the FDA is saying it is showing a lot of promise and VERY importantly, doesn't have the downside hydroxychloroquine has been PROVEN to have. This is why the FDA are happy to endorse convalescent plasma but still won't endorse hydroxychloroquine.
https://www.statnews.com/2020/08/23/is-convalescent-plasma-safe-and-effective/
This has nothing to do with 'Because Trump suggested it' and everything to do with what the FDA and other scientists are saying (you know, the experts).
But why we are on the subject of Trump, he obviously is wanting this or indeed anything to work to try and prop up his flailing popularity 4 months before the election. And don't give me all this nonsense about 'for the good of the people'. If he cared about the people he wouldn't have tried to ignore it, minimalise it or call it a Dem hoax at a time when it really mattered. He also wouldn't have urged/forced states to open up early or force schools back before they were prepared and he would have been ordering everyone to wear a mask.
Trump cares about Trump. Always has, always will.

Been putting it off for months (don't know why, just didn't fancy it) but eventually watched Parasite at the weekend.....what a great film! Truly deserving of the 2020 Oscar.
Can't recommend it enough.

The fact is Biden did well reading a speech.
The fact is, he'll struggle through a debate (as shown with this video presenting my argument) - and the BEST thing the Dems can do is find a reason to blame Trump for him not turning up.
no names or cheap digs appeared in my posts
That’s some crystal ball you’ve got there. Can you also tell us exactly what charges Trump will be indicted on next year?

My guess is he will find an excuse (Orange man bad) to swerve it.
Reading a speech is one thing...
I mean how old are you people because you act like 12 year olds in a playground? You can’t debate the facts or the policies so revert to cheap digs and petty name calling.
Trump is absolutely the president you deserve. For adults, it’s Biden.-

Most high handicappers I have seen here know next to nothing about course management. The greats such as Hogan and Nicklaus were experts.
I golfed with a Japanese lady at Gymkhana in Chiang Mai some time ago. She could only hit the ball about 150 yards at best, but scored well on her handicap because she knew how to manage her game to get the best out of it.
Absolutely agree. I know when I started to take course management seriously my handicap tumbled. No more trying to hit a 230 yard second shot into a par 5 (you did it once 4 years ago - once - give up the ghost!) and taking your punshment with a bogey or even double.
If i could advise myself 10 years ago, course management would have been near the top.

1 hour ago, xylophone said:Wonderful research JohnnyB........look forward to your informative posts, but the problem we have with printing facts and the truth, is that trumpies will/do not see them as they live in an "alternative trumpian reality"
None so blind as those who will not see.
They're not really for Trump fans. They just refuse to be informed and of course when they are they just shout 'fake news' anyway. It's more for my own benefit. I'm a big believer in you're welcome to your own opinions but you're not welcome to your own facts. Being informed is the way through all this mess and will hopefully lead to better solutions.
If I manage to 'help' a Trump fan question their 'faith' along the way, well thats just an added bonus.

Have no love for Trump, nor his opponent, but as the old saying goes putting lipstick on a pig doesn't change that its still a pig.
Sadly the reality is that most politicians are liars, crooks and incompetent. Their only role is to give the rich access to suck the National Treasury dry. Voting blue or red changes absolutely nothing. Bread and circuses.
This is completely untrue.
Firstly, 9 of the last 10 recessions (10 out of 11 if you include this one) have been under Republicans.
As Forbes magazine said - 'It is simply a fact that since World War II, Democratic presidents have seen 24.4 million more jobs created on their watch—an average of 78.6% more jobs created per year of Democratic administrations—than have Republican presidents. Ditto real GDP growth, 44% higher under Democratic presidents. On the flip side, unemployment has been 18% higher under GOP presidents.
Dems Vs Repubs by the numbers. *last 50 yrs
Years held Presidency: - Repub- 28yrs, Dem- 22 yrs
Total jobs created:- Repub- 24 Million, Dem- 42 Million
Stock market return:- Repub- 109%, Dem- 992%
GDP:- Repub- 2.7%, Dem- 4.1%
Income growth:- Rep- 0.6% Dem- 2.2%
(source politico, bloomberg, USDL, figures up to 2016)
You simply cannot say that the economy is the same with either party when the actual figures show a very different story. Despite Bush's tax cuts, less federal income, The 'War on Terror' and of course the near melt down of the economy, Obama eventually got the budget deficit down to $666 Billion in 2017. Despite a souring economy, the budget deficit under Trump was $779 Billion in 2018, rising to over a $Trillion in 2019 and way, way over this in 2020 https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjones/2020/02/01/trumps-deficits-are-racing-past-obamas/#196061064819.
He has already got the National Debt to a staggering $23 trillion ($3 trillion extra in a booming economy thanks to his tax cuts), and that's not even counting the cost of covid. https://www.businessinsider.com/national-debt-deficit-trump-how-it-compares-obama-bush-clinton-2019-11 eview.com/2018/07/trump-budget-deficits-growing-big-spending-fiscal-irresponsibility/
If you want to sort out a GOP mess, best to put a Democrat in.
