    You guys want to argue over Trump. Spins. Counter spins. Do it here. Keep it out of the coronavirus thread.

    Good idea, but maybe you should change the title of the other thread to something a bit more in line with that thought. Maybe something like, "Coronavirus - News and Updates".

    What if I just want to argue and I don't care what the subject is? Pick a subject, take a stand and I will oppose it just because I'm naturally mean.
    This means I'm for returning to the coronavirus thread and I'll fight any man who says different. Okay, so I am part Irish, wanna fight about it?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That's not really practical, IMO. Trump's response is part of the coronavirus news, and people are going to bring it up and discuss it, which will lead to debate.

    Right at this point there is a TON of politics involved in this, the news networks whom most people think all have their own political agendas are all reporting 24/7 on it. The president and other political figures are out talking about it every day. Fact is there is so much spin spin spin in negatives and positives, Ive just about given up trying to research what seems like credible information. You find a newsite and it’ll say one thing with their groups of statistics that, “prove it”, then you head over to another website and theyve got their own sets of, “facts”, and then they all have their “political fact checkers” sponsored by those with the largest wallets. Its absolutely astonishing to me how much conflicting information is out there on this, how little thought has gone into the plans for it, how were all left to just hope whoever were listening too isnt just full of crap.
    I am not saying this is a political hoax or whatever, I am saying its one of the most politicized events of my lifetime and I remember 9/11, but this is absolutely crazy IMO.
    Its interesting the spin that gets put on certain stats too, one will say the deaths, “doubled” since X date, One will say the deaths rates are incredibly low and much lower than initially thought. It just goes on and on, Like this post.

    Anymore when journalists report something I’m very Skeptical as they’ve all proven to me they are justifying their jobs by throwing crap out there or fabricating political spin. Many of These journalists nowadays are like ambulance chasers.

    You do two things to me:
    1. You make me want to support you with vigor;
    2. You make me want to argue with you with vigor.
