    You're running away from the proof of your hypocrisy, I take it.

      Can you elaborate on this alleged hypocrisy? Please use the proper definition for the word.

            More burning straw. It's not just "some" people who aren't using masks correctly, based on my personal observations and pictures I've seen from various news sources, it is a significant majority of people who are using masks in a way that, in some cases, are doing themselves more harm than good.

            And that's in addition to the fact that you are extremely unlikely to contract the China flu simply by walking past someone in the grocery store.

              The claim is "he didn't hear it." I have to admit I have my doubts, but it frankly doesn't matter. If he did it on purpose, he's a racist. If he did it accidentally, he's an idiot. Either way, he just hurt himself and I suspect his approval numbers will take another tick downwards and Biden's position will be strengthened a bit more.

              I can live with that!

                      What else is that called, Padre? When someone is his/her own worst enemy, that person is....

                        ... his own worst enemy. Just exactly what I said.

                        Why is it you leftists insist on putting words in other people's mouths?

                          oh please. It was one guy in a golf cart who yelled it in passing. It wasn't a video promoting "white power"

                          In fact I find the whole video hilarious, a bunch of old people in golf carts.

                            Already did; it's not my fault if you've failed to read the content of my posts before responding to them.

                            You "oppose" disparaging words like retard and libtard only when spoken by someone in the out-group. When spoken by someone you think is on your side, your "opposition" equates to quietly talking to other people about how you prefer not to say such things - if at all.

                              That's only because it's a Trump tweet cheering on a white guy saying "white power". If it were an Obama tweet cheering on a black guy saying "black power," well, I think we all know what your reaction would be then.

                                He seems to be pretty much on the wrong side of every major issue of the past several months. But I have to admit it is a joy to see his approval tanking and Biden surging in most battle grounds. Even Texas is only 2 points apart, and Biden has a strong lead in Florida and now leads (just barely) in NC, as well as all three of the states that turned the 2016 tide.

                                Still 4 months to go - so still a lot of time for "stuff" to happen, but right now "stuff" appears to mostly be happening to Mr. Trump. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy...IMO
