I wasnt ; I was referring to her deplorable disgusting act towards an elected official, that being the President of the United States.

Correct, it was everywhere. If its wrong now, it was wrong then regardless of political party and ideology.

That example was one person but there were others; remember the rap video depicting Trump being blown up? That was marketed to the masses. No, it was lots of people, indeed engagiung in deplorable behavior. Overall, I disagree with you on Trump but also feel that you have eveery right to your point of view and expressing it, as do we on the right. Where people cross the line is when it gets personal and actual threats beyond the level of insults are levelled towards the President or other elected officials. I cant stand Biden, couldnt stand Obama either but if I were to actually meet them, I would be nothing but gracious and respectful. Thats the way it should be. Can you say the same if you were to ever actually meet Trump?

Ok- sounds to me like youre still open to the notion of COVID orginating from a lab leak but feel as if that theories been far from proven, to date. Do you agree, however, that the Left and its supporting media pundits went way overboard in suppressing those that expressed that sentiment last year on social media ?

Deplorable, perhaps, but not equally deplorable IMHO. Can you honestly equate Let's Go Brandon to holding aloft the severed head of the current Prseident (at the time, )? No way? In my view , that is a threat on his life and she should have been immediately arrested; and Any person that would pull a similar stunt against Biden currently I would say the same thing.

Really - what is your gut feeling as to the origins of COVID then?

Well said - a time out for posting lewd and perverted stuff? Chef ? I wasn’t aware of that . Was it under the political section?

I was thinking the same thing at first ; hopefully , that is not the case .

They cannot as it is literally impossible to do so; I say this with no personal satisfaction whatsoever , only conviction that is , indeed so .

Great reply - Thank you Sir

Yeah, the voting rights bill and issues surrounding it is a red herring, for sure. Didnt Ted Cruz challenge Dems to produce 1 voter- presumably of color or any other "oppressed" group- that was denied their constituional right to vote in the last election as per current voting requirements?

Due to the fact that you appear to be one of the most knowledgeable members of this forum vis-a-vis virology in general, I was hoping you could answer a few questions that I havent been able to obtain satisfactory answers to: 1) Where and how do the viral mutations occur? Is it during transcritpion , translation, or both? 2) If someone is truly asymtomatic, can they still transmit the virus to others ? If so , how and why? What factors promulgate transmission? If not, then why are we so concerned with social transmission and, in particular, mask wearing? 3)When you test positive for the virus, what does that mean exactly? Does it mean the virus is replicating in your cells and propagating? If so , can it also mutate , vaxxed or unvaxxed?

What do you use for a squirrel call ?

Excellent - thank you Sir

Sounds good - I’m gonna have to go out and get some cuz I’m gettin hungry !!

What part of NY are you located ?

Oh yeah? That sounds pretty good

I do agree that Trump was an antagonist and provoked his political enemies incessantly . In retrospect , I wish he would have learned to keep his moth shut and stop all of the tweeting because if he would have , he would have been easily re-elected - consequently, we wouldn’t be suffering through a Biden presidency. That being said , I don’t think you can excuse others who loathed the former Prez for their own abhorrent behavior. You mentioned , as An example , the comedian who pulled the severed head of Trump stunt - that was Kathy Griffin , a disgusting human being in her right , who summarily derailed her own career as a result . I don’t think you can blame Trump for her personal choices or those of other Trump haters who behaved in a similar manner during his presidency . I think it all boils down to how one expresses their displeasure with their President and/ or other political leaders ; sadly , many liberals will resort to such disgusting tactics whereas conservatives- barring a few knuckleheads here and there ,mind you- generally tend to refrain from said behavior .

Really - nothing to eat I assume?

I honestly don’t remember what rabbit even tastes like now , it’s been so long !! How do you cook your squirrels anyway? I need some new recipes - where’s Chef when you need him lol.

I know , they’re everywhere when deer hunting and now where to be found when squirrel hunting lol

Excellent post !!

Well said , my friend and I agree that most of us cannot ever bring themselves to vote for a candidate whom they personally dislike , not withstanding their demonstrated competency and effectiveness as a leader . But what does this part of your post mean? What does Trump represent in your mind , I wonder ?

Ok-I respectfully disagree , but understand where your coming from .

Back to the infamous news conference where Trump allegedly told Americans to drink bleach to kill COVID , huh. This has been debated - and refuted - countless times on this forum. Chef , we know you don’t like Trump ; that’s painfully obvious . And , of course , your entitled to your opinion same as us (those that like and voted for Trump, I mean). But if your thesis is that Trump is a moron and says stupid things , I don’t think you really wanna go there . I mean, you’re aware of all the incredibly stupid things Biden has said since he’s been in office , right ? Even before that , for that matter !! In his dotage , Biden has clearly demonstrated that he is a cognitively challenged dimwit who never should have been elected in the first place . Deep down , I think you know this but don’t want to admit it due to your hatred of Trump. In contrast , I do not hate Biden at all; I’m just afraid for this country because I have zero confidence in his ability to lead and his judgement. Trump May be a lot of things , including an egomaniac - but he’s no fool . Sadly , our current President and VP clearly are - God help us.
