Has Trump ever uttered a statement with enough subtlety to it that I would even need a heightened sense of criticism? Most of Trumps comments are loud enough that whether i had that level of criticism or not my criticism would be largely the same.

@chiraag @cbarbermd

Both being biden and trump.

I think they will both have the same number of statments that lies. Trumps lies however will be more grandiose and toxic like everything he does, which will seem like he isblying more when in reality he is just lying louder.

@chiraag @cbarbermd

Well boyh my personal expiernce with both of them (they are both friends of my dad) and what ive seen of them.

@chiraag @cbarbermd

I disagree, but can understand while it would seem that way.

@chiraag @cbarbermd

I never said i cant tell the difference between the parties. I said i cant tell from your statements which party you thought was worse.

But no id say in terms of the qty of lies its comparable actoss parties, people though, namely trump, he is particularly bad with the words that come out of his mouth because he lacks tact. He is oboxious when he lies, biden/harris lie with style so the lies seem smaller.

@chiraag @cbarbermd

Im literally sitting here tryi g to figure out which side you think is which... lkterally a GoP would say its the dems that are worse and vice versa. Since i dont know you i literally have no context to figure out what side you even mean.

@cbarbermd

The PBS link was perfect. But yea this one posted too thanks.

@cbarbermd

So i read the quote, and it truely is a troubling statement he made there.

That said i see why now i coukdnt find it. The quote Kamala stated is not actually the same words trunp used. I think what she said was close enougb i wont call a foul on her, but its just sloppy to quote someone and use words the person didnt actually say. But again just nitpicking, its not like honesty is a virtue either side has.

@ABScientist

Yea they would have to find a job thry can do effectively remotely of course.

@ABScientist One would expect an immunocompromised person to avoid crowds. I would encourage that.

@ABScientist

You can always do more, there comes a point of marginal returns. At some point there is a cut off where doing more takes too much effort for too little gain.

There are also issues with purifyibg environments too much as it te ds to lead to higher incidence of autoimmune disease, so there is also a point where cleaning the air causes more disease than it cures.

Not saying we are at that point mind you.

@ABScientist

Fair? I mean its no less fair than getting struck by lightening. Its an act of nature and nature doesnt worry too much about fairness. Its sad that they or anyone suffers of course.

@ABScientist

No one shoukd be getting bullied for wearing masks, no one shoukd be bullied for not wearing masks either.

No making fun of them is wrong.

Sadly yes ive seen both people who wear masks and dont be bullied for their choice. Its wrong in both cases.

@barefootstache @inpc

The problem is fewer people seem to be developi g these traits as time goes on

@ABScientist

Huh, there literally is something wrong with them, as you pointed out some sort of genetic abnormality that makes them high risk... not sure you mean about "treati g people" they were born that way, its not our fault somethi g is literally wrong with them, covid has mother nature to blame

@ABScientist

To those people i would offer any medical support we can give them. But yea there is an eleme t of sympathy about their situation and the risks thry face. Its not like there is a cure, lets hope one day. The vaccination at least gets us a little closer to one.
