And if Trump suggested drinking water, I'm sure you'd be back here talking about people who drowned to death or died from drinking sea water.

Thank you for proving my point though.
Did they think the fish tank cleaner was hydroxychloroquine?

If you think I proved your point, then I think, again, that you should read your own posts to see just how partisan you are.

Of course, to a partisan, if you aren't a Democrat, it means you are a Republican and vice versa.

Partisans are small minded people like that.
Despising Democrats certainly does suggest that you are partisan.

No, they saw the word "chloroquine" on a bag marked "not safe for human consumption" and they decided to go down the hatch with it anyway.

Talking that up as if it's the president's fault is similar to suggesting that a professor teaching a class about how lithium can be prescribed to help treat certain mental conditions has blood on their hands when people decide to start swallowing batteries.

You'd have to be really, really dumb, or really, really biased to hold that view.

No, it doesn't. It suggests that I despise Democrats because of what they've become. It in no way suggests that I am a partisan......but of course partisans see the world as black and white. If you aren't a Democrat, you have to be a Republican. I think you just exposed yourself killer.

Hating Democrats makes you partisan. WTF do you think "partisan" means? Do you need someone to buy you a dictionary?

I'm not blaming the President for those people's deaths. Your hatred for Democrats is coloring your perspective. What I am asking you is whether the President of the United States should be using the authority of his office to tout, repeatedly, an unproven treatment? Given that the office enjoys a particular authority, and the treatment's efficacy is still unproven, is that how you think the authority of the office should be used?

You despise people because of their political party. THAT is partisanship.

Did I ever say you were a Republican? Nope. That's on you. Just like I never brought up the fish tank cleaner couple. YOU did.

Read over the things you have written. Because they don't show an objective, rational perspective. They show hatred and vitriol.

No....it doesn't.

Perhaps you do need a dictionary in order to alleviate your ignorance.

The word "partisan" implies support of a party, not opposition to one.

Go ahead, look it up.




See this is why I'm here, clearly there are many here who need to be educated on quite a few things and I'm trying to chip away at it little by little.

Okay, well it sounds like you simply are ignorant as to what the word means, which is fair enough.

I suggest you find a dictionary and educate yourself before embarrassing yourself further.

Good luck hero.

If we are going to start childishly splitting definitional hairs to distract from the poster's core point that your "hatred for Democrats is coloring your perspective," being a negative partisan is still being a partisan.
