No, C2 is a foreigner ignorantly opining on US politics. Why on earth would you think I was commenting on the nationality of an internet forum owner? That's just bizarre.
Do you think this is a UK supremacist forum?

No, it's just a layman who doesn't understand scientific studies. Yes, he's very self-assured in that misunderstanding, but any acceptance of what he says is only other laymen with similar misunderstanding. Few are in the position to fathom the complete reality of Covid, including the relationship to deaths from lockdowns, etc..

LOL! Syne is just blowing a gasket because his boy Trump was caught in another lie three times. Says WE don't understand the science and "the depths of covid"! Always adhom when you have no argument is his strategy.

I was teasing Syne and I apologise without reservation to Stryder for using this forum to do that. A free internet is (I think) one of the most (perhaps only) important developments in this century. I would contribute more if I had anything more to contribute.

Sometimes things are clearer when seen from the outside.

I've kept hamsters for many years - tease one and you get bitten. That doesn't mean they're stupid - just don't tease them.

Moron, Dumbass, Manbaby, etc. Not exactly endearing terms but I get it. I don’t give a rat’s ass who wins, just don’t invade Canada. Maybe if Biden wins there’ll be fresh comedic material. If Biden wins and I see on the news a big ‘You’re Fired” scroll across Times Square then I’ll know the US has long way to go to get back to respectability. Keep the border closed Joe, or Donald, I don’t care who. 

Oh, I’m a foreigner too, thank goodness.

Don't need arguments against Trump. Just the latest news reports on what he said or tweeted do just fine.

The highest office in the land is dependent upon news reports and tweets, any of which could be pure BS? I’d rather listen to promises that turn into lies after the election .

I think if USA put the fly that showed up at the VP debate on the ballot it could win.

OMG! I used profanity. I must have blown a gasket. 9_9
Or I'm just illustrating how response in-kind looks.
Your own cited CNN article knows better than to call it a lie.
And whining about ad hominem is rich when your own topic title includes two of them, not even supported by your article.

This ain't one of those times...as apparent in you running with MR's "lie" to disparage ~150 million people.

Just a reminder. This is who MR wants to be President of the most powerful country in the world:

Yep. Boaty McBoatface.

The good thing about democracy is that everyone gets a vote.

I believe Dr Fauci was the one who at the onset of Covid, suggested that mask wearing wasn't all that helpful in preventing the spread of the virus. Trump sort of latched onto that in the beginning because Fauci was the doc in charge then, yes? Now, months later...Fauci does a 180, and Trump is left holding the bag. I'm not a Trump lover, but that is pretty much what happened, and Fauci should be the one who is blamed for the early misinformation. (although, new reports have come out recently that masks aren't all that helpful for spread prevention)

That was back in March when little research had been done yet on the masks and the virus. It's now October and the fact is now well-established that masks prevent the spread of the virus. See CDC recommendation below that came out in July. That Trump is still claiming otherwise is dishonest and irresponsible and only encourages more infections. This disinformation is all on him and his superspreader rally events.
