TDS much?

besides the pot thing (seriously that’s your line???), we have yet to hear a critical thing from you about the ds and/or health experts. I’ve been critical of trump. So it certainly makes you more partisan than me.

The cheap political tricks are also big with you. Bleach? You couldn’t even get that one past dad4.

Being opposed to t, or his methods, or his policies is not a sign of derangement.

As for criticizing ds, I said several times that Biden is too old after he announced his candidacy (and I consider myself a bit of an expert on being too old to do things anymore, and he is older than me). Thus his choice of running mate and likely successor was important. I could take a couple of years of Harris, and then judge her on how things turn out.

On the other side of the aisle, I have no complaints about former SD Mayor Faulconer, former California Governor Schwarzenegger, or current Vermont governor (and one time minor-league NASCAR champion) Phil Scott.

If your position is better to have Harris than Biden your partisanship is moving in the wrong direction

I was kinda hoping you’d say mitt Romney. It would color you less blue and put you more in the Megan McCain camp. It would still be partisan as the r party is fast passing by the McCain’s and Romney’s but at least your “conservative” argument would be more colorable

you happy now that we are on your favorite subject (besides your neighborhood that is): you

I already posted today that I like Romney -- see above.

If you didn't want to hear about my political positions, then why did you ask?

Don’t drag me down with you. I don’t really care whether trump was talking injecting about bleach, lysol, or some other disinfectant.

You want to tie yourself to that rhetorical anvil, go for it, but leave me out.

He is firing all the admitted pot smokers, even the legal ones. I think he should be prejudiced toward keeping honest people.

Not sure they were the ‘honest’ ones. Likely lied on a previous background check, which I believe is also a criminal offense.

How about hydrogen peroxide? That and bleach are the only disinfectants we have in our house.

You were the one who disproved him. Didn’t want to be in that position don’t jump into his nonsense. Your association with him is probably the biggest anvil around the (sometimes good) arguments you try to make

“Misrepresenting drug history in White House paperwork or interviews with security personnel could be a factor that would lead someone to be deemed as not suitable for a security clearance”

Five staffers let go over marijuana use, White House says

The firings came despite the Biden administration's efforts to balance federal hiring guidelines with state legalization laws.
www.google.com www.google.com

There was a more specific quote in a news story from earlier today, but it’s since been replaced by additional reporting on the topic. Note, it doesn’t necessarily imply that the misrepresentation was in regard to marijuana, they could have withheld information regarding other drug use that was uncovered in the security clearance interviews of associates, etc.

Are you still upset over getting the bleach thing wrong? Ready to admit your partisan hackery? Come on...just admit it....we all know it....you'll feel good about it when you are done.

A lot of people (almost universally t supporters) "got the bleach thing wrong". Given that, I think my question to you was inappropriate.

CDC: Some Americans are misusing cleaning products — including drinking them — in effort to kill coronavirus

To try to kill the novel coronavirus, some Americans are unsafely using disinfectants and cleaners, even ingesting them, health officials reported Friday.

Here you go:

”I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning. As you see it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”

Trying to deny something that was on national TV? Pathetic really. So sad. She’s not in a good place with the truth right now. You really hope she’ll learn to do better. :cool:

I don't read this as him saying to "inject bleach". I just read it as a statment from a man who is a very poor (on the fly) public speaker with the lack of understanding that "words mean things".

Plenty of people voted for Romney in 2008. He lost in the primary to McCain. He gave a very gracious concession speech at CPAC.

That was back when being a good loser was seen as an essential part of having good character.

I miss those days.

Pardon me. I gotta go chase some kids off my lawn.
