"Fox News liked it." Well, that settles it.w00t



 
Fox was praising Biden because they are pulling all the stops trying to get an interview. Anybody trying even a little bit to be objective saw it as typical political party electioneering bs.

Trump Says Spanish Flu Ended WW2!

Posted By Mel Maki

If somebody read what the company researching PUL-042 was saying it isn't difficult to imagine Trump glancing at it and saying what he said. Trump (and Biden) should avoid any kind of technical discussion. As bad as Trump is he is sharper than Biden.

I wonder how well this will go over with NFL fans?

If you asked me if I were a patient person, I would say absolutely. If you asked my wife or children, you may not get as enthusiastic of an answer. We are all blind to our own situation.

You either have to believe that blacks are inferior, or that there are systemic issues that hold them back in America, regardless of how an individual treats another individual. What members of this forum think which is the cause bleeds out in your posts.

"...inferior...or systemic issues..." 

I think it is more than that.
How do we weigh how much Asians pressure their kids to work hard in school?  I have stopped at a rural store near here during summer vacation and the Asian parents have their seven and eight year old kids working hard (they are not enjoying it) writing from books. They aren't playing because their parents are taskmasters. My Chinese doctor told me her parents forced her to become a doctor. How many White or Black kids would allow their parents to force them to become doctors or anything that required perfect grades? 
Some cultures are less likely to have kids when they are teenagers. How much more difficult is life with kids at an early age?
Are Whites and Blacks inferior to Asians? They do have parents that give their kids more leeway.

Bolton did say if he had heard anything resembling that he would have written an entire book on that statement. Bolton does not like Trump, even a little!

:...nobody is going to write a book about..."

Are you sure? The media would do the publicity and keep the conversation going. Would it be worse than many of the other books?

There are stories all over the place about Trump going to visit soldiers at Walter Reed and other Veterans hospitals where he took the time to listen to them and seemed concerned about their well being.

Trump has been trying to bring the military home from what he deems unnecessary wars.

Trump was the one who gave the military a pay raise. Biden/Obama did not. 

But yet, he's the guy who hates the military so much.  Sure he does.  

You won't find these stories of course at CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS (which statistically has produced articles and reporting 96% negative against Pres. Trump), PBS, MSDNC, and other leftist news outlets.

Anything positive to say about Donald Trump is put on the back burner.

Where were the stories about Israel and Kosovo, their deal that was put together by Donald Trump?  Non-existent at the major networks, just as they glossed over the historic Israel UAE Peace deal.  
Trump has had numerous events with the wounded. In fact, he had an event with them just before and just after they claim he made the remark. The people that made this up took Trump's stupid remarks and created an event about each one to make it seem like something Trump could have done.

And you've got the gall to question Biden's cognitive functions...
I was teasing you that Bolton dislikes Trump so much that if he had any thing good on Trump you could be sure he would write about it.
If you did not limit yourself to such a narrow range of information people wouldn't have to take your hand and show you the other half of the political world.
Where do you come up with this, "...what you think you heard..." stuff? I have never claimed to "hear stuff."

No, Bolton said he would have written a chapter if it was anything resembling that. I said if he had any thing GOOD he would have written a book.

Bolton told John Roberts that if he had heard the president make the remarks he would have devoted an entire chapter of his book to them. I was saying he hates Trump more than that. He clouldn't have stopped there. He would have written a book on it.

Are you like Trump and testing? The less information you have the better things look?
