I did argue that, and I stand by that.

You snowflakes were hyper-focused on short-term numbers. When Floridas numbers were bad, you were all gleefully posting the weekly data. Then all of a sudden - poof! - you all stopped. You all stopped at the same exact time, and by an amazing coincidence, that just happened to be when Floridas numbers got better.

I'm not very impressed by any very short term results, they're too volatile. It was you and your fellow lefties here, who made it clear that weekly results were what mattered. Well unless you were all full of sh*t, these weekly results also matter.

I'm being consistent. You're all flip-flopping.

Let's go, Brandon!

The short term numbers are what you have a chance of controlling a pandemic with.

If you had a mass murderer in a place with a population of 22 million and each day he killed three hundred and fifty of them, would that be alright?
You would be screaming to eliminate civil rights until he was found, just like the Patriot Act.
If Covid was a Muslim all the conservatives would be wearing masks, getting vaccinated and have Covid hunter bumper stickers

ok. so why did you give cuomo a complete pass when he was forcing nursing homes to admit residents who were sick with a disease that we all knew would target the elderly?

and then he fished the numbers

and still, everyone sang his praises, he got a book deal, he got an Emmy.

if short term numbers are important, which is your claim, you should
be happily posting that florida’s numbers are improving. but you aren’t posting that, because you want fodida to have bad numbers so desantis isn’t a political threat to the alzheimer’s patient we have now.

Furthermore, Florida’s numbers were pretty good all along, until this summer. Yet you never posted anything about florida until the cases spiked. how come?

You can look up my comments on Cuomo:

"Cuomo is now only able to attain praise for his actions because his earlier failures made those actions necessary. Of course, part of this is because Donald Trump has bungled the coronavirus response even more badly, so that Cuomo – by not being a complete buffoon – looks like a capable statesman by contrast."

NY did worse at first and learned how to do better so passing NY in deaths by all measures is nothing to be proud of, as to the rest of your rant maybe Scott can fix your spelling and grammar

Right I did use that word. To mock all you classless Conserv. who always say they are better than Liberals but thought Trump mocking a handicapped reporter was the best thing they ever saw. You yourself just defended Trump a few weeks ago by saying he did the same thing to Rubio or Cruz.

donuts on for you to use what is very commonly accepted to be a hateful term to address those with whom you disagree…that’s on. but it’s wrong when anyone else does it.

got it.

as to trump and the reporter, we discussed this multiple times. IF trump
was making fun of the guys handicap, that’s vile. however, there’s actual video evidence of Trump using the same exact physical gestures multiple times over the years, to make fun of people he didn’t like. so there’s a very good chance that’s what he was doing, and had no idea if the guys condition.

that has nothing to do with you being offended by let’s go brandon. paul, once you start acting like a jerk ( and we all have here) you lose your right to then act like you have delicate sensitivities.

can’t have it both ways.

never said trumps
mocking the reporter was the best thing i ever saw. even if teump wasn’t making fun of his condition ( very possible), it’s still a stupid, juvenile, undignified thing to do.

anyway, grow a pair and suck it up, because you’re going to hear let’s go brandon a lot between now and the midterms.

Still classless. No different from someone saying it about Trump. The difference is there are far more people saying now then would say vile things about Trump.

"he met with the guy before so he knew exactly what his handicap was."

I don't read minds well. We also know that Trump has a documented history (literally, documented on video) of using those same exact gestures to make fun of others. So we don't know. IF he was mocking the guys disability, I completely agree with you about how awful it was.

"You don't think its bad when whole groups of people say it on TV/events?"

Not worse than a thousand things that have been said about many, many others. Not worse than the things CNN said about Nick Sandman, for example.

"Just like I don't try to defend when others say vile things about Trump or anyone else."

You don't? 5 minutes ago, you defended yourself for using the word retard. Jeez, man, get over yourself.

Since you are getting all butthurt again, before people became "developmentally disadvantaged" they were called "retarded" with various classifications like mild, moderate or severe and profound and prior to that the same people were called "feebleminded" and their increasingly severe developmental disabilities were classified as "morons", "imbeciles", and "idiots".

Didn't you write these?

once that imbecile socialist from Queens arrives.

only an idiot thinks the president has everything to do with it. and only an idiot thinks he nothing to do with it.

So a bridge too far is moron (or is it imbecile) but Pussy is ok?

AOC is a moron

Yes, but it's really only used today in clinical settings or by people who need to level up. Jim says plenty of offensive things I don't think you need to try and compete.

and you've never once said anything directly disrespectful to anyone here, just because they dare to disagree with you.

If we want to all grow up, let's grow up, but you can't demand it from everyone else and still act like a jerk.

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?

Yes Pete, I know that word was common before. and before blacks were called "blacks", the were called n*ggers. Like the word "retard", the overwhelming majority of us stay away from words that are obviously hurtful to others. Paul chose not to avoid using those words, and adamantly defended himself, I guess because he has sufficient dislike for those who disagree with him, it's OK for him to use words that 99% of the country would never use, even directed at people they really don't happen to like. Whatever, it's a free country, his choice.

Yes I said those things. I don't know that calling a someone an imbecile, is the same thing as calling someone a retard. I'm pretty sure you're the only person in the world who'd equate those things.
