    We will have half a million cases in Texas before long. Thanks Abbott, for pushing reopening and acting like masks weren't important until months after this mess started. Just resign already!!!

    Nobody can trust anything they say any more because the lies and false claims are their pathetic and dangerous attempt to push their own agenda, with health and safety on the back burner. They close their eyes and ears to the cries of families mourning their loved ones and pretend it will all just go away.

    All they want is for people to shut up, get back to work and just deal with it, whether their life is put at risk or not. To hell with testing so much, it's making us look bad. We need those tests for the White House, staff and our party members but you aren't that important.

    Sure! 7 day average new cases continues to decline, and deaths were down significantly vs last Tuesday (121 vs 187).

    I don’t know what other Presidents would have done, but it is really hard for me to imagine any other leader completely disregarding medical experts and saying “This will just disappear at some point.”

    I think it's a near-zero % chance any dem president would have done anywhere near the abortion of a job Trump has performed.

    While unlikely other republican presidents would have done similar, you never know, with the way the governors have been acting, the lunacy of the right is clearly not just contained to the white house.

    This just shows how extreme your bias is. It's like you simply ignore the data. The states with the most deaths per capita are almost exclusively democratic run with democratic governors. Nine of the ten worst states have democratic governors. The exception is Louisiana, and the problem there was New Orleans (democrat-run).

    Hilarious hypocrisy on your part.

    In bigtexxx's world, the United States is made up of two sections: the Republican states and the Democratic states.

    In his world, these states should be divided and be named: United States of Republicans and United States of Democrats.

    This is his world, and you are living in it. No ifs or buts about it. If you are run by a democrat, we draw a line! You are not on our side. We dont count your numbers!

    This is what the nazis did. Bigtexxxx is literally dehumanizing democrats and democratic supporters. His republican people are the superior people and know better than anyone. "If democrats die, who cares? They are the lesser. Their data doesnt matter."

    Correlation =/= causation

    look at the population density

    I’ve lost all respect for Rice as an educational institution thanks to you.

    Would you say that sending positive covid patients into nursing homes would be "causation"? I would.

    Amazing strawman. Too bad it's not true.

    Look, if you cannot argue using facts, logic, data and reason, then you're better served simply staying quiet, rather than hurling insults and building false strawmen.

    I (and others) have provided facts which you have consistently ignored. So what's the point? You're not here to debate. You're here to annoy.

    I agree, that post was too much you aren't saying who cares if Dems die. I think there is a poster on here who thinks like this but it's not you.

    Funny enough, you love to strawmen as much as anybody, to the point where it's not worth it to discuss. It's impossible for you to understand any nuance due to your extreme biases. You find a point and hack away on it ignoring all other factors, a good way to win an argument and to defend your ideology but this will not assist you in finding the truth, which is important in situations like this because people's lives depend on it.

    He's obviously a troll. Nobody with half a brain would act like things are good when we continue to lead the world in new cases. Nobody with half a brain would act like Texas is doing good, when almost every single country in the world is doing better. He's crazy as a loon.

    By now, we should know not to take him seriously as he probably sits at his computer thinking of what idiocy he can write up to stir people up. He's Clutchfans' own clown. Here to annoy and be everyone's entertainment. You don't get mad at the clown. You don't debate with the clown. He's here for our amusement.

    Perhaps he was following your post about COVID being largely confined to China and overblown....

    I don't understand why people don't use the ignore list....

    It's not like there is anything to debate with a troll. Waste of time.
