TP, it is pointless to argue with Trumpies about this issue.

Fauci / NIH are interested in scientific research, a subject anathema to Trumpies given their master's claimed distrust of and disbelief in science.

You have finally reached the typical lefty fall back position when the facts don't back you up. I don't want to talk about it anymore my mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts.

No, it is simply pointless to discuss anything of a scientific nature with a Turmpie.

Earlier today, after reading posts on DT, Senator Paul and Dr. Fauci once again sparred over Covid origins and the Wuhan lab.

Fauci shot back. "The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

"Or perhaps it would be irresponsible to send it to the Chinese government that we may not be able to trust with this knowledge and with this incredibly dangerous viruses," Paul interrupted, before accusing Fauci of supporting gain of function -- a claim Fauci then called "incorrect."

Yes, because liberals pick and choose the science they will accept. Also they will only parrot what "the scientists said." They will not accept questioning "what the scientists said" with simple logic.

Baloney; science is science.

What different form of "Trump science" do you believe "trumps" (pun intended) modern-day science?

Science continues to evolve and should be questioned and tested as may need be, but to claim scientists somehow fear logic is absurd.

Take the most obvious issue: global warming.

Scientists pretty much all agree it is a problem, but not Trump; no, he disputed it not because he believes it (only complete idiots disbelieve global warming is a problem) but because it suited his political / economic agenda to do so.

By publicly questioning science he left the door open for fracking, new oil exploration, pipelines, coal ... the whole corporation-serving enchilada.

Note however that Trump, the paramount science denier, was one of the first to take advantage of covid-19 fighting medications; hello, science!

You people only embrace science when it suits your purposes, and deny it when it doesn't; that shows very, very weak game.

Until it is pointed out that there are only 2 genders and you cannot change your birth assigned gender. Then all of the sudden it isn't to liberals.

But then why do liberals scream "THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED!" to any question of global warming?

No, that is what the left does, as I have shown here.

I would think the easiest tactic for them to take on Global Warming is to, like me, simply admit that they don't care and put near-future economic gains ahead of that problem. In my opinion, the counterposition that the country needs the money is valid enough to stand on its own.

Sorry, but that is unfair to future generations.

Why should we screw it all up for our heirs just so we can ride the crazy train for a couple more years?

I guess that's the real difference: democrats are more altruistic than republicans, and less self-centered.

Democrats are altruistic?

Only with other people's money!

Republicans understand that any climate change is happening because of the sun and know we cannot change it.

Republicans understand there is a higher power.
Democrats arrogantly believe man can just do anything at will.
