    Based on my observations of your posts over the past few years xenon, I've finally figured out how you end up so wrong much of the time. You do 3 things over and over again, just like clockwork. First, you start from the premise that Trump is a moron, and you have the same goal with every post - make it show Trump as a moron, no matter how far you have to twist things to do it. The second thing you do like clockwork is to argue your case like you have been following the facts intently and have a deep understanding of the issue. The third thing you do, only when your argument has been so totally destroyed that even you can't spin it any further, is to admit that you haven't really been following the details very close, just a little over the last day or so, so that's why you got it wrong.

    If you're going to argue a point, know what you're talking about first.

      Larry - I’ve noticed your MO on debating as well:

      Step 1 (optional): laugh incredulously (usually bwahaha)

      Step 2: declare victory

      Step 3: attack the other person

                          Why?

                          Was he trying to trick us into thinking Mr. Trump thinks tests cause covid? Nobody is that stupid, nobody.

                          Haha

                          No that’s stupid. Tests are not overrated. We’re nowhere near the top of the list on per capita testing. And our cases count is not inflated because of too much testing.

                          Testing is not the problem - as Trump seems to believe.

                          The amount of stupid people are letting slide with this guy is astounding.

                            Probably could have lowered the death rate, if we had declared martial law and shot anybody venturing out into the streets.

                            Then Trump would be a hero in your eyes?

                              He took that quote completely out of context

                              Why?

                              Was he trying to trick us into thinking Mr. Trump thinks tests cause covid? Nobody is that stupid, nobody.

                              I assume he was just joking.

                              Haha

                              No that’s stupid. Tests are not overrated. We’re nowhere near the top of the list on per capita testing. And our cases count is not inflated because of too much testing.

                              Testing is not the problem - as Trump seems to believe.

                              The amount of stupid people are letting slide with this guy is astounding.

                              Some tests are overrated. We're finding out the Abbott test is wrong maybe as much as 40% of the time.

                              Yep. This is the inherent risk of hurrying diagnostics and medicines. Which is not to say we should not have done it, but essentially you are testing the test in real time.

                                  88,000 Americans have died so far, @Larry, but I'm sure glad Trump "took action in December to deal with the virus". Maybe YOU have TDS...Trump Defense Syndrome. 😆

                                  Probably could have lowered the death rate, if we had declared martial law and shot anybody venturing out into the streets.

                                  Then Trump would be a hero in your eyes?

                                  You're not as bad as @Larry, but why jump to the extreme? Sadly the bar is so low, all I would've preferred from our President is to have someone who didn't dismiss the seriousness of it as late as mid March.

                                      Let me know when you're ready to stop making this political or personal, and want to discuss it objectively.

                                          That’s a reasonable argument, but not the one Trump was making in the “overrated” remarks

                                          We have tests that, two months ago, didn’t even exist. Our great companies came up with things — Abbott Laboratories and so many others. They came up with things that — Roche — they came up with things that nobody even believes. So we have the best testing in the world..
