Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Lets Go Darwin

He did not say, as wdmso claims, "People need to throw away their masks." That was an exaggeration by falsely adding something Trump did not say to wdmso's own misquote "People need to throw away their . . . fears."

And Trump simply meant, as you correctly quoted "Don't let it dominate your life." Gee, what horrible advice!

I didn't write or say trump told people throw away their masks. the faithful over on breitbart did

President Donald Trump urged Americans to stop being afraid of the coronavirus

By forcefully removing his from the balcony saluting.

Concern for my health or yours is not fear By the way.. its only conservatism sees it as fear and Trump

There were no quote marks or attribution, so assumed it was yours. I think the salient point Trump was making, in his own words, is "Don't let it dominate your life." The don't be afraid of it was unnecessary bravado. But sometimes that's part of his style

His style continues to kill people and our economy but keep believing DeBarr.

Actually, the economy is making an unexpected robust recovery from the thing, covid, that actually killed it. And Trump did not create covid, nor introduce it to the U.S., nor is responsible for the people it has killed. And I don't know any DeBarr.

You don’t have to create or introduce a virus to be responsible for killing people by irresponsible messaging and handling and since you are like Barr in his defense of Trump you are now and to me forever know as DeBarr. Trump claiming 100,000 die yearly from the common flue is yet another lie meant to downplay the impact of Covid in comparison, yet the CDC estimates that 12,000 and 61,000 deaths annually since 2010 can be blamed on the flu. The higher number reflects the particularly harsh 2017-2018 flu season. Most years, the US death toll from the flu is closer to 34,000 to 43,000.
