As far as I am concerned he was only voicing his overly optimistic opinion on what it could possibly do. He isn't the only one doing it. They should have some ideas of what the side effects are they have been using it for about 50 years.

If you want that to be called promoting, OK ... Meh

I am fine with him exercising his first amendment rights and voicing his (maybe overly optimistic) opinion of what the drug may be able to accomplish. Just as I am OK with many on this forum expressing their projections of gloom and doom over this mess.

So, it is your considered opinion that if you were in a burning theater and and the theater manager came in and pointed to the bathroom door and yelled 'That is the exit'. It would be perfectly okay, and he was just 'exercising his first amendment rights'?

Now can you answer my question.

What I said was if you take medical / pharmacy advice from a politician you are stupid.

Do you disagree with this statement? If you do disagree you are ignorant.

It was not pointed at me, but let me answer it for you anyway. Yes, people should take the advice of leaders. That is why we have leaders. To lead. They are supposed to be informed. They are supposed to consider what they say and give us good advice. The moment you start saying 'Why should we listen to Trump about X since he is not an expert' I have to question why we should listen to him about anything? He is not an expert at anything we elected him to do. So, why is he even having press conferences? He is not expert at any of this.

People elect leaders to lead them, because we simply do not have the ability to learn everything for ourselves. The President is supposed to be the megaphone broadcasting the real experts opinions, not making up his own. That is why people take his advice, because they expect that advice to be coming from the best experts the most powerful person in the world could find to advise him.

When PCgeek goes to the doctor he holds him to the same standards as the president, so when the doc tells him something, he takes it with a grain of salt and assumes he’s just giving his opinion backed by nothing.

It’s always interesting to see the mind of a righty do mental gymnastics in order to protect their views. God forbid they let new facts (new to them) change their mind.

1.) If you are stupid as many seem to be they would enter the bathroom and die in the fire. They have EXIT Signs posted for this very reason.

2.) That is kind of why Fauci and Brix are there. I'll listen to them... Trump is not a doctor.

Are you one of those people that think it's safe swimming in the non-peeing section of the pool? Unless you completely lock yourself in until a vaccine is found, you will run into Trump dummies who believe everything he says. With a responsible President you would be safer.

Which end of the pool is that? lol

Stupid people will believe anything.
 
So now you are walking back your claim that you hold people to the same standards?

If what I’m saying sounds stupid and like bull shit it’s because I’m repeating your words.

No, you are twisting what I did say and mixing between Qualifications and Standards just to be an ass.

You know it and I know it. It is one of your demented little games you love to play.

You said you hold everyone to the same standard. Those are your words. Now you are saying what exactly? That qualifications determine the standards that you hold people to?

Maybe if you were capable of articulating what you meant people wouldn’t have to constantly question what the fuck you are talking about.

So you don't know the difference between standards and qualifications.

Now I see your problem.

I cant understand it for you. Maybe look it up on the internet, maybe a you tube video could help you.

Those are your words bro! I’m not here to interpret your babbling or spin, you either say what you mean or explain yourself better.

I said exactly what I meant. It isn't my fault you don't understand the difference between standards and qualifications.

Can't stand it when you're wrong can you. What a joke.

So a president has the same qualifications as a random poster on the internet, and you hold them to that standard. That's what you said.

Maybe if you hadn't said something so fucking retarded you wouldn't be trying to do so many mental gymnastics to justify it.

What is perfectly clear, Trump is not held to the same standards as Obama.

Not trying to justify anything. LOL

I never said any such thing. I'm out. This lying is pathetic.
