Iowa's governor wasn't very well liked well before Covid was a thing. Any other member here from Iowa can confirm that.

You responded to a post about everyone getting a vaccine (you know, the thing everyone keeps saying is necessary to get back to normal) with a poo poo .. it's a win, I guess.. LOL .. about cancer treatment instead. Give me a break.

I wish we can all meet face to face. It would be a great discussion. Things get lost over text.

Yeah I think we do and honestly its pretty sad that the best you can do is run people down, but you hate it from the President when he runs people down. And when someone comes to the table with facts and questions all you want to say is "You're wrong, I'm right" but yet you hate that from Trump supporters. It's fascinating to me.

I've seen the bone spurs comment come up frequently in this thread and every time I do I wonder why Biden gets a pass.

The fact is our President exhibits all the behaviors that have been well documented from the 1980s to present. I get it though. You're cool with our leader possessing those qualities. Turn the cheek if it doesn't affect you. Or maybe it is just what you agree with.

This poll is disturbing is some ways, overblown in others, I believe.

First, I have a hard time believing that large of a percentage of Millenials have such a lacking knowledge of the Holocaust. As an early-Millenial, late-Gen Xer, we spent an entire semester in middle school on the Diary of Anne Frank, and then spent a semester in high school on the Holocaust itself. Granted, I know not everyone's education has the same mileage, but they're pretty damn similar.

The question regarding how many people were killed, I don't think that's too much to get concerned with. Once you hit the numbering of the dead over one million, it becomes too large for many minds to comprehend, and the numbers begin blurring together.

The only number here that truly concerns me is the percentage that believes the Holocaust is a myth. I blame the majority of that on social media and the rise of conspiracy theories and theorists.

You act like I've said Trump is just perfect and never does anything wrong... not at all the case. I get it though you can help but spew out your hate for him when I was fascinated by the fact that on this board you act a lot like what you hate from him.

DegaBama · 09-16-2020, 10:33 AM

I know twitter is a cess pool, but wow. This guy barely gets much likes, retweets, etc. But he posts this and suddenly has tends of thousands of interactions... for a false tweet.

You're right.

I pick on bullies and those who support bullies.

Was there even a thought that they would make people pay for it?

but you act like one?? So you're ok with acting like one, but no ok with someone else being one?

You call it picking on them, some would call it degrading and offensive the things you have said about people just because of supporting Trump

I get what you're saying, but even the actual IFR of .6 percent still yields over 1.5 million dead for low-end herd immunity (or mentality).

He definitely needs to correct the tweet, however.

Chris Lyle · 09-16-2020, 10:40 AM

Here I go again:

Trump says trees explode, Dems get all mad

Biden says Edison didn't invent the light bulb, Dems could care less "it doesn't matter"

Why is one a big deal and the other ok? When in reality in the grand scheme of it neither statement really truly matters other than the fact that it makes both look a little silly.

I'm not offended. I leave that to the liberals. They have the market on hurt feelings cornered at the moment.

Hootiefish · 09-16-2020, 10:42 AM

Obviously not a Trump supporter, but did anyone else find what he retweeted funny?

I mean, NWA. That's funny.

I agree - it is false!

Herd immunity needs 70-90% infection rate in a population (depending upon the severity of virus transmission).

Thanks for pointing out his error!

If you're okay with supporting a racist.

Stay offended.

Funny thing is...Trump was correct, and Biden was not.
