    Oh hardly, you would think that someone bragging about how smart he is, would at least know how dumb of a question that was.

      I'm not bragging about how smart I am. I'm saying that when you decide to speak to me as if you're clearly way smarter than me you should probably try not to blow it so badly like you did last night :).

      And I have no idea what question you are even referring to. You seem want to change the topic from OBP's link, which was supposed to show that things weren't horribly mismanaged in this country when it naturally showed the opposite, to discussing testing. I have no idea why.

        Or like you’re blowing it now?

        OPB? You mean BTC, right? It really didn’t prove it all because we don’t know the infection rates for most of the world’s population so without knowing that, we can’t give a hard number.

          Why don't you tell me what ODB's original point was and how I blew it in my response. It's clear we don't have the same picture of the conversation in our minds.

            Right...

            The quote accurately represented what Biden actually said (likening taking a prescription medication with injecting yourself with Clorox, which is an insane analogy no matter how you spin it), but since he didn't use those exact words to make his ridiculous point, you're trying to give him a pass.

            Come on, man!

              What a *ridiculous* analogy! What does heaven have to do with a needle!?

              (OMG DO. Now you're making an analogy between something you just said and something Jesus said!)

              Sheesh.

                  You’re the smart one, tell me or do I need to give you the answer?

                        Not a ridiculous analogy at all since what Jesus was said is true, that those who cling to earthly wealth will find it exceedingly difficult to give it up for heavenly rewards.

                        On their other hand, what Dementia Joe said is NOT true, that taking a well-known and time-tested medication with a doctor's supervision is nothing at all like injecting yourself with poison.

                        Come on, man!

                          What, *precisely*, is the difference between a prescription medication and a "poison." Be *very* specific.

                              Very little.

                                A prescription medication is a controlled substance that is known to have beneficial medicinal qualities when taken as recommended by a medical professional. A poison (like Clorox) has no beneficial medicinal qualities and is not safe to take in ANY quantity.

                                Another way to look at: a medical professional will never prescribe you take a poison like Clorox.

                                Come on, man!
