    But do you truly believe that? Or would you stand by Charles Manson as long as he agreed on abortions with you?

    So uninformed.

    Trump led the world on action starting in January. Dems still haven't gotten on board, still spreading it across the fifty states deliberately to tank the economy, bring about communism, bringing it in from other countries daily through LAX and NYC...

    Like the Kennedy Center needed money when they'll be closed for over a year and they took the millions then fired all the employees. The list of her pork is in the hundreds. She slit a lot of grandmothers throats to please her donors.

    POTUS TRUMP is pretty much always right.

    As he is this time.

    Michigan Dem lawmaker describes how Trump's boosting of hydroxychloroquine 'saved my life'
    By Charles Creitz | Fox News

    Democratic state lawmaker credits President Trump and hydroxychloroquine with saving her life

    Michigan State Rep. Karen Whitsett says her COVID-19 symptoms went away within just a couple hours of taking hydroxychloroquine.

    A Democratic Michigan state lawmaker has credited President Trump's publicizing of the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine with saving her life after her health "plummeted" when she contracted coronavirus.

    State Rep. Karen Whitsett of Detroit told "The Ingraham Angle" on Monday that if it wasn't for Trump pushing the drug through the Food and Drug Administration's approval process for off-label use and touting it repeatedly during his daily press briefings, she may not have made it through the terrible contagion.

    "I really want to say that you have to give this an opportunity," she said. "For me, it saved my life. I only can go by what it is that I have gone through and what my story is, and I can't speak for anyone else. So that's not what I'm trying to do here. I'm only speaking for myself."

    Whitsett said she went into home quarantine on March 12 -- the she day she last attended a session at the State House in Lansing -- and her health quickly deteriorated over the following week.

    "It took the longest [time] for me to actually be able to get an appointment and getting with my doctor, which was the 18th of March, and then actually getting the COVID test," she said, adding that at first, she thought she had only contracted a bout of pneumonia and was put on the popular antibiotic drug amoxicillin.

    On March 31, Whitsett continued, she tested positive for coronavirus and her well-being "just plummeted."

    "It went from the headaches being severe to fluid building up in my lungs, to sweats breaking out to the cough and my breathing being labored," she said. "It all happened in a matter of hours."

    When Whitsett did make it to the hospital, she found out about a state order prohibiting the use of hydroxychloroquine. The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, under Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, had issued the order, only for the governor to retract it several days later.

    "I did have a difficult time, even that day, obtaining the medication because of an order that was put down in my state," said Whitsett. "And it was on that day so you can imagine how terrified I was that I had to beg and plead and go through a whole lot to try to get the medication."

    Whitsett says that she has chronic Lyme disease and had heard of hydroxychloroquine but would not have thought of it as a potential coronavirus treatment if not for Trump's briefings.

    "If President Trump had not talked about this it wouldn't have been something that would be accessible for anyone to be able to get right now," she said, adding that within a few hours of taking her prescription, she was feeling much better.

    I would agree with you but that might prevent you from being wrong. But you can still look forward to Fox and Friends later this morning.

    Manson did agree on abortion. He actually tried to sell some of his prison drawings to benefit anti abortion groups.

    Agreed. But I have two points

    1. How often is someone running around from thread to thread claiming foul or dropping negativity on "TDS'ers"? I actually think it was made up to combat the "Trumpsters" label. The sarcastic retaliation of having enough of the "Trumpsters" comment. "TDS" was derived from people who couldn't stop with the "Trumpsters"

    2. Two wrongs make a right?

    Sigh...

    1. Pretty much what I said...("it's no better, no worse...")

    2
    . Never said anything about "right or wrong"... ("it's no better, no worse...")


    The crux of my meaning was pretty clear, IMO...again, I'd prefer to take my "lectures" from the Mods.

    You do know that one of Manson's minions effectively aborted a baby, don't you. The mother, as well. Sharon Tate.

    But, anyway, to answer your question...absolutely not. An absurd question/comparison at the very least.

    Is it as dire as we see on television?” asks Dennis Quaid.

    The veteran all-American actor, who’s starred in everything from The Right Stuff and The Parent Trap to Any Given Sunday, is phoning me from the Hollywood Hills, where he’s holed up with his fiancée Laura Savoie. He’s curious about the situation in New York City, where I am, which has become the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, with at least 74,601 cases and 3,544 deaths as of Tuesday morning.

    Back in 2007, following the near-death of his 10-day-old twins, who were accidentally administered 1,000 times the regular dosage of the blood-thinner heparin at a hospital, the actor became an outspoken patient-safety advocate, testifying on Capitol Hill and producing a number of documentaries about the health-care system, so he finds the current crisis very troubling, though maintains that Donald Trump’s been doing a “good job” handling it—a point that we very much disagree on. (Continued...if you wish)

    Mods are the only ones with sound advise? Read above. Seems, they have their own difference of opinions on this very topic. What one Mod requests, another mod denies, so I'm not sure putting faith in the mods being the only ones with sound advise being an optimal answer.

    But I will drop it. I believe I have got my point across clearly.
