And you are defending this enormous baboon? Really?

After as much BS and lies as wells as made up stories that have come out of the mouth of this troll it´s unfathomable that niether Facebook or Twitter have deleted his accounts and blacklisted him for all eternity.

Come on, didn't you see the facts that he presented to the Australian journalist

in that interview? He had charts and everything to prove what a great job he's doing!!

There are hundreds more that could have been taken down over the years. Has the crooked Zuckerberg just woken up?

And who is the hysterical party in this rant? True, I do despise Trump. Well meaning posts on FB? Do you honestly think he cares about the masses? The children he refers to in the post, and reasonable sacrificial lambs, in his quest for re-election. Except the parents are not willing to make those sacrifices. 

 

The real question for people of your pursuasion is, will your Master be willing to accept defeat, in November? Because it is coming just as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow morning. 

Easy win for DJT in November. Far better performance by him, under very difficult circumstances, than either Bush, who managed to destroy Iraq, and Obama, who managed to destroy Libya.

"the Trump’s tweets are being preserved for posterity, so future generations can revel in the president’s peculiar and unprecedented use of Twitter as an art form and governing tool."

That seems to be his major selling point. I hate to say it but his age, personality and tendency to make gaffs mean he is playing into Trump's hands. 

To put it more bluntly, Biden appears senile, and has many questions to answer regarding his involvements in Ukraine and China, to name but two.

My deepest apologies to the baboons of the world. Now I really do understand how deep my insult was.

I think senile is a little harsh. To me he's 78, and seems like a normal 78 yr old! Who thought it was a good idea to put this man in the running for the most high pressure job in the world,?

 

The Dems should have a 'gimme', but they look very capable of messing it up.

 The dictionary definition of 'almost' is nearly but not quite.

 

So 99% is certainly closer than any lower percentage that you care to produce.

 

Were you to live in New York and travel to Bangkok, would you say you were almost there as you left your house?

Exactly. Some WOULD say it then or right after the flight left ( however there are no non stops NYC to BKK) because they have been waiting to go on the trip for a long time. Another would say it at the halfway point , another when there is 4 hours to touchdown , another one hour before and of course  you and the other poster would say it in the taxi to hotel or on the elevator just before you get to the hotel room. Spare me the details on how to comprehend the word “almost”. You are wrong or purposely think it means 99% for obvious hateful reasons.

You are making a colossal misjudgment of both his performance and the election. Your allegiances are blinding you to the reality. His loss will be monumental and a mandate against the recklessness of the GOP and it's temporary Master.

The outrage here is that it’s even necessary for Facebook to remove the dangerously misleading information being disseminated by the President of the United States.

 

He has at his disposal medical experts who are amongst the best in the world, there is no excuse for the lies and misinformation he spreads.

First, he needs no excuse to lie, and second if he was censured every time he lies there would be nothing at all forthcoming from the white house. 

Actually everyone would benefit from that. 

At this point every one not a zealot sees his lies and the zealots never will. In that sense it's not worth the effort to expose him. 

 

The man is just a skid mark in America's underwear. He can be washed out this November but the smell will remain for years.

That would be nice.  Twitter should do the world a favor and ban him completely instead of just labeling his worst lies.

Ah so you are saying freedom of speah is protected when you yell out FIRE in the movie theater as well? 

Or better still when you on your next flight to Thailand and see you good friend Jack from High School a few rows in front of you and stand up and shout high Jack .... Then complain when the USM guy in the seat behind you have you in a head lock and beating the sh....t out of you ...

 

Sometime its a good idea to think before speaking  ....    Or suffer the consequences ..... ???? .

No, but TopDead is a child development specialist, or at least he plays one on TVF. 

Admittedly he does seem to be Dead from the Top down though. He is of course entitled to his opinion and is generally entertaining if nothing else.

You can try to give your own definition, but no go.

It was a lie, and a dangerous lie hence his post was pulled.

Define “almost” as a percentage. Then ask the next person and then the next. So you could be wrong or almost right. For some reason on this thread topic your “almost “ as a percentage I’d bet is 99% or something and another persons ( perhaps Trump) is a lower percentage.  

The fact that you believe what Trump says proves that the censorship is totally justified.

Children are not "almost immune": they are asymptomatic while their bodies develop immunity, and they are contagious.

Children are not safe and harmless unless you believe the earth is flat.  

Being immune would mean they never get enough viral load to become contagious, which they don't. Although they rarely develop severe forms of the disease, they seem to be just as effective spreaders as others. Talking about immunity is therefore dangerous misinformation.

Of course you don't, you've demonstrated a remarkable tolerance for those who usurp democratic norms and rule through autocracy and corruption. Not sure whether you meant to say "sprouting his mind" but it's probably not such a bad choice of words. What is coming out of that jumbled mess of psychological conditions and unadulterated ego would almost certainly require something substantive to grow before opening his mouth again.

Trump's losing/lost his ignorant/science ignoring battle to blanket reopen public schools this fall even in areas with high CV outbreaks -- at least in the nation's largest school districts. From Bloomberg today:

NYC Is the Last Holdout on In-Person Schooling as Big Districts Defy Trump

Quote

 

(Bloomberg) -- New York City is the only major U.S. school system still considering in-person classes this fall, after Chicago rebuffed President Donald Trump’s calls to reopen to avoid further strain on the U.S. economy.

 

 

Chicago Public Schools will begin the academic year with all-virtual learning, the nation’s third-largest district announced Wednesday, after administrators bowed to pressure from nervous staff and parents. New York City officials say they are still on track to open in September with a hybrid of in-class and remote instruction, though they need approval from Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has said he will make a final decision this week.

...

In Chicago alone, the decision affects 355,000 students -- kids whose parents had expected them to be in classrooms starting Sept. 8. Other major school districts that have already opted for virtual instruction for at least the start of the year include Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Miami, Atlanta and Houston. If New York City joins in, that would affect the families of another 1.1 million students.

Dream on. He has lost 20% of his super loyal base in the last few months. His "recent performances" have been horrendously bad, and he looks feeble, stressed, and in decline. His physical and mental health appears poor. This latest Axios interview was an utter disaster. 

 

He is completely out of touch, and is a dinosaur. The world has changed and evolved, and that is something he is incapable of. He is cascading toward the most humiliating defeat of his lifetime, and he will likely take a portion of the GOP with him. And that is deserved. He, McConnell, Graham and others are overdue for retirement. The American people will speak in November. Gone, baby gone. The planet will rejoice. 

Sure, let's rejoice at replacing him by a 75 year old with early stage dementia.

In an ideal world we would have a young, vital, noble person running for office. In my opinion Biden is the latter.

 

Sure beats a five time draft dodging, five time bankruptcy king, who lies, cheats, steals, betrays his nation, and connives every hour of every day. Where is the honor in that?

 

If he were at least competent, you might have an argument. He inherited a strong economy and ran with it. That is all he has done. He failed at everything else. He cannot negotiate his way out of a paper bag. Every dictator gets over on him. And he is unhinged.

 

Rosie O'Donnell would be a better choice. Anyone. Please.

Children are not "catching" Covid-19 at any appreciable rate comparable to adults... And children are not spreading Covid-19 at any appreciable rate.  Children are not - nor have they been the drivers of this disease. This phenomenon has been observed and  has been discussed since the beginning of this epidemic. Yes some children do "catch" Covid-19. But the rate of infection of children is very low. 

I know people of this thread will gag and cough that I have not cited a medical source. The problem is if I cite a source there are some here who will then yell loudly that my source is not correct or good enough - BUT THEIR SOURCE IS. Then on and on and on. 

But I have noticed that in this thread those who disagree are not citing any source or statistics to prove that children are infected at a rate comparable to adults. The highest rates are over age 64 with serious co-morbidities.

The problem is Biden will be hostage to the loony left and will probably be replaced within a year by his female VP of colour (competent or not). Welcome to the Socialist Republic of America!

I have no great love for Trump but what he has said here is true.  Beyond  a very low infection rate the death rate is vanishingly small amongst kids.  This is the problem with having social media outlets censor themselves. They don’t have the facts and they do have a political agenda.

so then explain to your wife how she can get ALMOST pregnant.

...and then there was the gal who told me she was almost a virgin.  I didn't laugh, but it took a lot of effort.

Start by reading the precise definition of "immune" before posting B.S.

Here's one source to back up what you have posted:

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/06/20/880983822/coronavirus-mystery-are-kids-less-likely-to-catch-it-than-adults-are

 

"What we found was that people under 20 were about half as susceptible to infection as people over 20," Eggo says.

So kids and teens appear far less likely than adults to actually get infected with the virus.

"And then we also found that the probability of showing clinical symptoms ... so getting ill enough that you report the infection... that rose from around 20% in 10- to 19-year-olds, up to around 70% in those over 70," she says.
