As KG has pointed out, Trump actually did made the mistake that you were falsely accusing me of making."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

My recollection of the incident is that you loonies were talking about Kansas state, and I said something like "speaking of places named 'Kansas', can we talk about Kansas City for a moment?" (or maybe it was vice versa with you guys talking about Kansas City and me wanting to change the subject to Kansas state) and you loons fell all over in a pile of stupid claiming this showed I didn't know Kansas city wasn't in Kansas state, when I hadn't made any statements about the subject. I recall it only because it was an incident where you loonies seemed to act even more loony than normal, pretending to each other I'd made claims I never had, and then claiming those claims were wrong.Last edited by Starlight; 04-01-2020, 04:20 PM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Trump's terrible math cannot match Fauci's prediction of the possibility of 100,000 to 200,000 deaths due to coronavirus.
The ridiculousness of Fauci's estimate of 100,000 to 200,000 becomes apparent with basic elementary math. At a fatality rate of 2% it would require 5,000,000 cases of coronavirus.to reach 100,000 deaths.
Check the stats and do the math.Last edited by shunyadragon; 04-01-2020, 05:03 PM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
