Yes the # of DUIs then were non-existent. There was no way to test.

And that is the only way alcohol takes lives?

It's a huge part and you said youself it would not reduce the totals at all and used an example that was not remotely valid.

Is it so hard to say, "good point, I was wrong?"

To be clear: your contention is we should ban alcohol because it would save lives and me bringing up when the US literally banned alcohol yet didn't save lives is not remotely valid?

Is it so hard for you to say "I have no idea what I'm talking about"?

Can alcoholism be spread via respiratory droplets?

I would think the folks that claim to support law enforcement along with law and order would willingly comply when asked to do something like this.

Trump laws good, Biden laws bad.

Do you know the amount of lives that would be saved if we made alcohol illegal? I could easily say:

"I would support it. The amount of lives it would save is easily worth it."

But you would be wrong. You would be creating a huge black market. The effects would be the opposite of your intent. This isn’t true for masks, speed limits, etc. Why are you against a mandate? What reason do you have other then liberals are for it?

How is this not a faked tweet? This is just disgusting. I can't think of how anyone who isn't 100% sociopathic would say this...especially after having had COVID.

Really, this is one of those issues that I feel is a major flaw in the lefts arguments. This is what shows that they aren't for the country as much as they are against Trump.

It would be unsound because these timelines they were trying to get the vaccine to come.out was based on election timeline, not scientific timeline. If you want to take it be my guest, given that you work in healthcare I doubt you'd want to.

Yes they will.put their careers on the line for trump. Remember the dr speaking in front of walter reed or White House or whatever,.did you notice how he was lying in order to conform to whatever political stance the trump administration was trying to take. Doctors are trained to not lie. It was obvious watching him talk he was lying at trumps direction.

This shows you arent for the country, just for trump, even if it is at the expense of the country.

I saw someone post a screenshot and I insisted to myself that it must be fake. It's way too far out there (in my mind) for even Trump. But damn if it wasn't there for the world to see. Our allies run from us and our enemies laugh.
