    Nah. Make use of it, dude. You don't have to ignore everybody on the other side. Just ignore those who are either trolling or off the reservation. (Although, it should be noted that Fever is clearly not on my ignore list.)

    Trump killing it with the media on how long this economic destroying mess can go on even getting the point in about flu deaths and can't stay shut down forever. This lady is better with straight talk than that Fauci character.

    Because we are going to let the virus run wild, overwhelm our healthcare system and kill a lot of people to own the libs.

    Was Fauci at the presser? I didn't see him. Has he been demoted?

    Austan Goolsbee had a great point on CNN. You can have 1 out of 3 solution or a 3 out of 3 solution, but not a 2/3 solution with just 1 and 2:

    1. Re-starting the economy.
    2. Stopping the exponential growth of the disease.
    3. Universal Testing.

    If you want to re-start the economy quickly, you have to universally test or be willing to kill a bunch of people.

    We were supposedly a nation at war yesterday. But now a Fox News commentator thinks otherwise, so let’s push up that curve!

    If he was the main one behind this I hope so. Trump has caught on to what the globalists plans are with this.

    He hasn’t been in them for a few days. My guess is they have butted heads big time. Fauci poo poos it but that’s my guess.

    Because UNlike you and Trump, I don’t pretend to be an expert in infectious disease or public health. And also unlike you and Trump, I am not openly dismissive of what they say.

    They go to a photo storing site of someone with the name PimKing13. Didn't we have a poster by the name of PimKing a couple of years ago? He worked in a hotel in B'ham and had an Italian gf if memory serves. Are you him?

    Didn't seem him either. Trump did interrupt Dr. Deborah Birx twice while she was speaking.
