    No you said that cancer research institutes deserved to get their grants de-funded by the Trump administration because you believed that Trump's Covid Response Spokesperson lied about Covid.

    You aren't giving me the weather forecast in Spring, TX, or what the score was in the NHL game last night. You are telling me what you BELIEVE regarding circumstances that have nothing to do with each other, and where one half of what you believe is based on conspiracy THEORY.

    LOL, the Fauci lied excuse to justify gutting cancer research, medical funding, science and healthcare research and more is a terrible reason. RFK JR has lied, has spewed quack cures and crap, and conspiracy theories, and isn't even a doctor or scientist, but he's justified in MAGA eyes to lead the Department of Health. Trump himself lies non-stop, as well as spewing conspiracy theories. In fact, it's pathological when it comes to lying and Trump. You can't even keep tallies on the lies that come out of his mouth each and every week. But, they believe him, even though he doesn't know which part of the ear is the lobe. Make that make sense.

    I can read. I can also use Google to find out about magic crystal skulls. Do you have a reputable source?

    Trump and Vance want to gut the agencies - and then when the agencies fail without proper funding, Trump and Vance will claim that the agencies are failures and should be completely eliminated.

    It is a self fulfilling prophesy. We are seeing the same thing in the Ukraine.

    Apparently you're either lazy or can't read.

    LOL, we have a pathological liar running this country, so I'm guessing lying doesn't matter much to Trump voters.

    Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do on the campaign trail. That's certainly not the thing a pathological liar would do. You just dont like what he's doing things, or how he's going about doing them. But he wasn't lying.

    You are crazy as a loon thinking Trump isn't a pathological liar. That is flat out cult mentality. I'm talking about all the thousands of lies he spews non-stop. I don't give a damn about his promises. He lies about everything. He lied non-stop on the campaign trail by the way on plenty of the crap he spewed out that nasty mouth. That nutjob stood in front of troops today still spewing his election lies BS. He is sick in the head, and dangerous as hell.

    He's doing exactly what he said he was going to do. He didn't lie to me and I'm glad that I voted for him. This is actually quite refreshing for a politician to do what he said he was going to do.

    Cult mentality if you don't think that felon didn't flat out lie to Americans over and over the past 8 years. No, he didn't fulfill all his BS promises he said would happen on day 1, and my hunch is your electric bill won't be cut in half this summer either, which was a stupid promise only a fool would believe. Even today he stood there lying to the military about the election being stolen. He's pathetic, and as corrupt as they come.

    The dude's grifted billions for favors, and is hellbent on becoming a Dictator/Authoritarian. I never thought I'd see the day when our President treated leaders of regimes in the Middle East, Russia, and around the globe better, and with more respect than our Western Allies of the past. I say the past, because he seems to hate Democracies in Europe, Canada, and everywhere else. It's scary. But then again, he wants to rule like them. I guess that's what you want for the future.

    Fauci didn’t fund research in China because Obama “banned it” in the U.S.—the funding went to a U.S.-based nonprofit doing virus surveillance in collaboration with Chinese labs, and there’s no evidence it was meant to dodge any restrictions. He didn’t lie about the origins of COVID, masks, vaccines, or the six-foot rule—guidance changed as the science evolved, which is how public health works. And there’s no proof he personally profited from any of it; the royalties people talk about predate COVID and were reportedly donated to charity. It’s fair to question decisions, but let’s stick to facts, not conspiracies.

    So you believe ICE should have zero identification, and should be wearing masks too?

    Hypotheticals vs what's really happening.

    What if the illegals they have warrants for were really arrested if you want to get into hypotheticals?
