Virginia requires COVID vax as part of the immunization requirements to attend school? Thanks for clearing that up Lou. Didn’t know.

I didn't say that.

Trump said: "I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or mask mandate."

He means it in general, not specifically for VA. And to be clear, he may not necessarily be referring to any schools that are currently requiring these mandates right now (I have no idea if there are any), but rather to prevent some from doing so in the future - when the next Covid variant inevitably raises its head.

Knock it off Paul. No one is buying it. It’s not Smallpox or Ebola.

If he was only talking about the covid vaccine, that places a different perspective on his comments.
(It's a different issue than defunding schools that require the basic set of vaccines)
I certainly wasn't going to watch his whole speech. The original quote I posted was from a former Republican congresswoman from Virginia.
My bad.

Trump doesn't know where he is or who he is talking about half the time, and we are supposed to make the leap that we know which vaccines he is talking about? lol. yeah ok.

When you have to say things like "he means...." you have already lost the argument.

Trump and Biden should have been off the ballot more than a year ago, but here we are...two bad grandpas running for the most important job in the world.

Well, now it's pretty much official. 3/6---to be recognized now as the day of shame. Bad grandpas are the candidates.

I wouldn't put Biden down in ink until after the convention...

Biden will be the nominee unless he passes away. I just find it amazing that two old unpopular men can somehow have this much power over both parties. No one on either party seems to have the backbone to tell either candidate that they are both too old and not fit to lead the country. McConnell endorsing Trump after what Trump said about his wife tell you all that you need to know about Mitch. Sad times we live in.
