Aw, come on.  It's your "covfefe" moment. Lean into it, and stop talking down to people so much - glass houses and all that.  'Cause this excuse is BS and you know it (though the double-h is a nice, if transparent, touch).

Hell, I thought "Banksy" was "Bansky" for years, and I still have to check myself on "separate."  (And God help me when I need to choose between "effect" and "affect" :). )

Unfortunately, all the politicians are politicking.  It's election season.  You don't think Gov Cuomo of NY isn't politicking?  He wants to be president so bad, he's been running for it for years.  His news conferences are just a continuation of it. The Democrats are trying to use it to retake the Senate and win the presidency and Trump is trying to hold on.  At least my president isn't a racist like yours.

Glad you give your Commander in Chief a pass on playing politics instead of addressing two of the most dangerous attacks on America in our generation...if not ever. He should maybe retreat to his golf courses for a few rounds as well. Man does he have his sheeple walking in formation. Pity this is the best the USA has to offer.

As far as thinking your King is not a racist...keep drinking that purple koolaid.

Actually, that's suppose to happen in a Democracy.  When a politician is looking at elections, what he or she is doing is checking what the people, the voters, want from their leaders. What's the point voting for someone who then does everything opposite you expected from them when you voted for them?

So you are saying the American people want a bigot for their leader? Or a Buffoon that contradicts everything he says , sometimes in the same sentence. Or someone calls the poorest countries on earth as "shit holes".

Agree - it's the polite thing to do, and we all make some goofy-assed mistakes.   It's just kind of cringe-y when you repeatedly make an obvious basic mistake while trying to lord your intellectual superiority over someone else, yaknowwhatImean?

Americans want an effective leader like Trump.  Someone who knows how to get things done. Not a senile ex-senator and ex-VP hiding out in his basement.

The last time I checked his approval ratings he was at 43%, so clearly all Americans do not want an "effective" leader like Trump.

I'm using Windows 10.  But I believe the spellcheck comes through Chrome.  If you go to Chrome Settings, Languages, you'll find Spell check and Advanced Spell Check.  I checked the latter. I believe that it's checking spelling through Google.  I believe that's what's flagging it, but I'm not 100% sure.

It's not the spell check - I've got that.  It's the contextual catch.

Now if it was REALLY advanced, it could tell you, for example, that your previous post about "...an effective leader like Trump..." was spelled right and had the correct usage of "effective," but that the simile was totally borked ;)

It's been 43% since before the last election, pretty much.  If he saves the economy, or at least puts it back on track, he'll be re-elected.  Who's going to trust Biden with the economy?

It accepted Trump being an effective leader because it agrees with it.  It plans to vote for Trump in the next election.  It's Biden who's affected in a bad way.

Had to look that one up.  I prefer though its my "57 states." 

PS, FYI I don't mean to talk down to people, well the vast majority of the time, but I think it is just how I come off.

Typical jerk response, republican jerk I would add. Can't win an argument so he goes on personal attacks. On top of that he throws some distractions hoping he hides his ignorance in the noise. You just lost any moral ground that you thought you had.

First, I'm still waiting on your great "converse, inverse and contrapositive" interpretations, so far has been crickets about it despite wasting an entire page of replies on it. Oh, you were engaged in pointless banter.

Second, my credentials are fortunately not for you to judge, I might not be an expert in much but on my job I'm quite good and I have no problem discussing in more details. Thing is you are not that person to question my credentials..

Third, and this is the distraction, you throw this study as if there is any opposition between that article and what I'm saying. Newsflash, you don't know what you are talking about. This SARS-CoV-2 is a RNA virus. All RNA viruses mutate, some more than others. It's not secret this one did too, the question is what it mutates, how often and if there are key portions that are stable and can be targeted with vaccines. But you don't actually care about this, only to say it's just as flu. Spanish flu was just a flu, right?

First, what makes you think I was talking about you?  There are a lot of arm chair experts here, with me being the biggest.   ;)  You take things too seriously. 

All I was doing was provide more information on the fact  that there are 30 strains now.  That can make it kind of difficult to handle, or maybe it does not.
